Food for sight
Well this is what it's all about really .... the basis of my transformation to increase my chances of regaining eyesight is all about good clean food. I researched my little butt off, reading websites, articles, blogs, everything I could access on food for eye health.
Here's what I came up with ...
We need to eat:
*clean whole foods
*low GI
*Omega 3's - like deep sea fish
*Antioxidants - like green tea
*Good fats
*Eggs
*Green leafy vegetables
*Broccoli - eat your heart out with this gem!
*Nuts, seeds and legumes
*A variety of fruit and vegetables, and
*Coconut
We need to cut:
*the processed foods
*refined and processed sugars
*excess gluten
*trans fats
I looked in my cupboard .... I saw all that Easter chocolate that I've just been given .... oh that delicious milky chocolate. I saw all the quick fix foods, snacks and handy packets that I can grab on the run ... jam, milo, tim tams ....
I also saw brown rice, quinoa flakes, quinoa flour, coconut milk, cacao powder, rice malt syrup, green tea, heaps of herbal teas, wholewheat biscuits and wholemeal pasta.
My kitchen was pretty much 50/50 of the good stuff and the processed stuff. Time to swap that to an 80/20, after all, a healthy happy mind is important in healing and I don't want to feel like I have to say no to every piece of cake or glass of wine I'm offered.
I am at peace with what is.
