1. What are western society’s main issues in nutrition?
- Too little:-
o WATER
o Minerals, vitamins & fiber
o right fats & complex carbohydrates
- Too much: sugar & wrong fat
There are easy ways out:
- More liquid apart from coffee/black tea and alcohol, such as water and herbal teas
- More fruit & vegetables [high mineral and vitamin content],
- Include seeds, nuts, berries (in small amounts) + herbs [high mineral and vitamin & essential fatty acids]
- More grain foods, e.g. rice (also: black, brown, red), spelt, oats, potatoes (great: sweet-), bread, quinoa, spelt [complex carbohydrates]
What can I do against Heavy Periods and related discomforts?
From a nurtition perspective:
• Increase green leafy vegetables, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, almonds and other nuts, all of which will provide omega 6 essential fatty acids, which also have the effect of keeping arachidonic acid levels down.
• Eat oily fish, pumpkin seeds, linseeds (flaxseed) and walnuts for their omega 3 content.
• Eat sprouted alfalfa seeds for their vitamin K content.
• If not pregnant, eat organic liver for the vitamin A content – if you can’t get organic, leave it alone, and get a vitamin A supplement instead.
• The green vegetables and nuts and seeds mentioned above also contain calcium and magnesium which will help relax muscles and relieve cramps.
• Reduce animal fats which lead to an increase in arachidonic acid.
• If you also have PMS, avoid sugar and alcohol and all refined foods.
+ Take regular exercise
