Food Diet Remedy

My family consults with a nutritionist from Australia and all of us have gone through a food sensitivity test.

It is no surprise that whatever I’m sensitive to, my kids are also sensitive to the same foods. List of foods that we have been told to avoid:

• cow’s milk and all related products eg. Cheese, cake that uses cow’s milk.
• wheat products
• caffeinated drinks
• carbonated drinks
• processed foods
• foods high in sugar

Needless to say, prior to the diagnosis, for many years of my life, I suffer from eczema, constipation, lethargy and frequent headaches.

While I have not been able to completely eliminate all unhealthy foods from my diet, I have cut them down drastically.

Do I see results? My skin problems have cleared up to a great extent. Bowel movements are more frequent compared to previously.

I am more conscious of what I eat. If I have been eating oily food, I make it up with porridge the next day for lunch. Also, I try to drink more chinese or herbal teas instead of coffee or milk tea.

Cow’s milk companies have always played on the concerns of adequate calcium for nutrition. Calcium is needed for strong healthy bones. In addition, the threat of osteoporasis is very real to many people, especially females.

But what happens if you can’t take cow’s milk?

Well, without cow’s milk in the diet, the nutritional needs of the body need to be met. The first concern is to get enough calcium in the diet. The recommended daily allowance of calcium depends on the age of the individual.

Excellent sources of calcium include green vegetables (broccoli, collard greens, turnip greens, and kale), fish with soft, edible bones (salmon and sardines), and seafood (oysters and shrimp).

Calcium can not be absorbed without Vitamin D. Sources of Vitamin D include eggs, liver, and sunlight.

If you are concerned, then consult your milk-free diet with a dietitian.

Got a foul smell from your armpits?

Unpleasant odours that come from sweat are due to the bacterial degradation of molecules in the sweat fluid. Surgical removal of the apocrine sweat glands may prevent elimination of toxins via natural perspiration.

Most deodorants and perfumes contain chemicals and fragrance that are likely to cause more harm through the introduction of toxins into your body.

However, there is one thing you can do to help reduce the foul smell. Chlorophyll, a green pigment in vegetables is a natural internet deodorant. Eating plenty of green leafy vegetables will help your body detoxify naturally. Best is to eat them raw or lightly cooked.
