During Summer when our body feels hot we want to cool it down. We can do this by drinking cool water, taking a cool shower, a swim in the pool, and by eating seasonal fruits and salads.
How many vegetables should we eat a day? At least 5, a variety of colours and tastes, for the different nutrients found in each.
How much fruit should we eat? The general rule is 2-3 pieces per day, preferably eating a variety of colours, so that we can absorb the variety of vitamins and minerals that come in each type of fruit. Eating fruit before 4pm is best.
Which salads are best? The ones with not only a variety of vegetables, but that also contain ample oils and great flavours to help stimulate our appetite and our digestive system so that all the food will be broken down adequately and all the nutrients will be absorbed.
Oils to use include: olive, flaxseed, grape seed, avocado, sunflower, safflower.
Herbs to use include: coriander, basil, dill, fennel, rosemary, thyme, sage, oregano, tarragon, chervil, chives, garlic, pepper etc.
