Alkalise the blood with wholegrains and vegetables and perceptible changes will occur in your health. Wholegrains contain all the necessary vitamins and minerals which have been shown to enhance brain function and reduce the negative effects of stress.

Selenium is found in brazil nuts, avocados, lentils, meat, fish and dairy produce.
Magnesium is found in wholegrain cereals, wheatgerm, pulses, nuts, sesame seeds, dried figs and green vegetables. Eat widely and use wholegrains and different vegetables every day. Chew your food well. In addition, chewing your food thoroughly, at least 30 times each mouthful, aids digestion and food utilisation. Food not chewed is food wasted.
