Nature's pHarmacy
Food & Drink Journal Keep Track of What You Eat, Drink, Think, and Do for Better Health
Eat, Drink, Think & Do: 12 Nature's pHarmacy Practices 1. Eat a healthy balance of fresh, high quality whole foods.
2. Use organic/biodynamic or home grown. Avoid processed food, GMO and glyphosate.
3. Eat 80% alkaline-forming foods to regain health; 60% alkaline to maintain health.
4. Choose foods you can digest, assimilate, and eliminate without immune burden.
5. Consume only quality salts and herbs.
6. Avoid edible oils and added sugars.
7. Take time to reflect, relax, renew, and rejuvenate.
8. Select grasses rather than grains.
9. Add probiotic and fermented (cultured) foods and drinks to your diet.
10. Avoid cow dairy, meat & poultry. Eat simply.
11. Include stretching to move fiber and water efficiently through the body.
12. Biologically detox regularly.
Meat, Fish & Poultry Guide Here are some tips to help you navigate consuming meat, fish, and poultry. We recommend eating low on the food chain, but if you do choose to consume higher, be sure to follow these rules:
- Always choose grass-fed meat.
- Choose wild and line-caught fish, never frozen. Look for clear eyes.
- Opt for humanely-slaughtered meat (kosher or halal).
- If choosing to eat eggs, stick to quail, goose, or duck eggs. Avoid chicken eggs unless they are organic/biodynamic, free-range, and grass-fed.
- Avoid hunting deer, ducks, turkeys, and other wild game for their meat. Whatever you kill may be the sickest animal of the herd.
