Caption: You are what you eat: How to improve your wellbeing through your diet.Dominique Ludwig, Celebrity Nutritionist, Nutritional Therapist and founder of Renew Reset Recharge, has shared some of the best nutritional practices to help you. Eat three meals a day. This allows for complete digestion of each meal with adequate levels of stomach acid and digestive enzymes. “Your small intestine also likes to carry out a self-clean at the end of each eating cycle, fluttering any food debris and unwanted bacteria into the large intestine.” “Blood sugar levels should rise and fall GENTLY throughout the day, reducing the blood sugar spikes and slumps associated with poor food choices, a high carbohydrate/ high sugar diet, or constant grazing.” Don't forget the protein. Every meal from breakfast through to supper should have a high-quality protein at its heart. “Protein stays in the stomach longer than carbohydrates as it is harder for us to break down. This slows down overall digestion and encourages a slower trickle of energy into the bloodstream and a smaller blood glucose spike.” Enjoy more vegetables than fruit. Although fruit is an important part of everyone's diet, vegetables are the better choice as they contain less sugar. ”While fruit contains an amazing array of vitamins, minerals, fibre, antioxidants and phytonutrients; too much fruit can still interfere with our blood sugar balance.” Don't fear fats and oils. We need healthy fats and oils for our nervous system, brain, cell membranes and as the base for many of our hormones! "Natural fats are those that have not been treated, heated, processed or refined. They should also not come from genetically modified seeds (e.g. rape or corn). It is important to choose a variety of fats daily, but as a rule of thumb, you should make extra virgin olive oil your main go-to oil.” THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
