Full Gaps Diet

We are officially of the intro diet and on the full-GAPs Diet again. We had been on it a few weeks before the intro. Salads with tuna, black olives, tomatoes and avocados, almonds for snacks, raw fruit and veggies. My kids are so happy to have bananas in their yogurt, watermelon and cantaloupe for snacks! I have been increasing the amount of juicing we are doing. In the morning we have been having a carrot, apple, beet concoction (liver cleansing) and in the evening we had cabbage, apple, celery (kidney cleansing). My 6 year old likes the evening juice and wanted more. I was surprised at how sweet it tasted and I liked it very well too. Juicing is an excellent way to get a lot of nutrients without having to eat a lot of things. Juicing on an empty stomach also is a great way to absorb a lot of nutrients. I've recently heard radio ads and have read this in several books that 90% of multi-vitamins that you take over-the-counter do not get absorbed. So, for every $100 you spend, $90 is down the toilet. Most multi-vitamins are made out of synthetic materials and your body doesn't recognize them for what they are intended to be for you. Herbals are really the best as they are taken from the whole plant and juicing is another way to get vitamins and essential minerals in their whole form. Happy eating!
