And don't forget cut sugar to a minimum. The brain needs sugar to function and a low blood sugar level might in fact lead to brain damage.


As my late grandma used to say: "Everything in moderation";

to which I would like to add: Listen to your body and LOVE yourself just the way you are.

    Some restaurants here are serving health juice as a healthy alternative to entre dishes. You run a restaurant, PD, and it might be a new slant. :-)

    that middle recipe looks interesting. Sounds better than the one you said in my blog, just boiling cilantro or something like that. What are field cucumbers, just regular cucumbers? I want to be more alkaline so I will try it. and yes, I always try to get my dark chocolate for the day!! also, I am with David. Even though I know we should drink a lot of water, I think 8 glasses is exaggerating it. I get a few plus juices , maybe adding up to at least four glasses a day.

    Regular Cucumbers: Those are the regular ones and not the ones grown in hot houses. When you suffer from "water retention", drinking water helps to banish it. I know that it sounds strange, but it is true. :-)

    Thanks for this very informative blog Su, I find this stuff rather intriguing. Your grandmother was right, everything in moderation, words of wisdom. Luv, Gail

    Su, I like the sound of these, but I have to say I NEVER EVER drink water or any other fluids other than a few cups of tea per day...David

    I love chia seeds!! I mix them in with my quinoa salad for lunch most days. Yum :) Hemp seeds are also super healthy. Thanks for the interesting info, Su!
