General dietary advice

Good foods to introduce into your diet:

Wholegrains – for example, brown rice, oats, quinoa, wholewheat pasta.  These foods contain lots of vitamins, minerals and protein.

Fresh fruit and vegetables (preferably organic).  Most fruit and vegetables have an alkalising effect in the body and provide many vitamins and minerals, especially when eaten raw.  Green leafy vegetables are a good source of calcium.

Nuts and seeds – eg. almonds & brazil nuts, sunflower, pumpkin & sesame seeds.  These are full of essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals.

Mushrooms - research published in 2009 by Min Zhang of the University of Western Australia indicates eating fresh mushrooms daily can reduce breast cancer risk by 30%

Fish (especially oily fish) – eg. Tinned mackerel and sardines.  These are relatively inexpensive and very nutritious.  Try to avoid farmed fish, such as salmon, as they are farmed very intensively increasing the risk of disease and the use of pesticides.

Water.  Your body is made up of approx 70% water, your blood is approx 92% water.  It is therefore essential to keep the body hydrated, by drinking 1-2 litres of water a day, preferably pure bottled water.
