RECIPE
determined that everything that enters my body and my home is sustainable in every way, so my diet is based on a variety of whole foods and my supplements are plant- based. Variety is the key: I have had people say to me, “Oh, I eat lots of kale and hummus,” and I will answer, “That’s a good start – but we need much more variety than just kale and hummus!” With the viral loading that is still circulating in our post-CoVid world, we need more than fruit and vegetables to build immunity. I am now advising clients and readers to add plant- based supplements to their health regime. Green supplementation begins with choosing 100 percent pure and plant-based products which the body recognises and can use, just as it recognises the food you eat and
knows how to metabolise it. Twelve months ago, I shifted to taking a trio of 100 percent pure and sustainably produced plant-based iron, vitamin D and calcium supplements, and there is no going back for me. My skin is glowing, I have much more energy, my immunity is strong and, being plant-based, these supplements help to keep my digestive system in peak form. Eating – and supplementing - green means eating whole, nutritious, minimally processed foods that support your health as well as the health of the environment. I am selective about what I choose to eat and now I am just as selective with the supplements that I take. Nothing synthetic lives in me.
