Eating guide:
Food group: Vegetables & Lentils
Vegetables are highly alkalising foods, helping our bodies balance our internal PH.
Steaming or light cooking the veggies ensure you are able to retain the enzymes and the nourishment - making it easier for the body to complete its nutritional profile intake.
Lentils act as body builders, best to consume more of whole lentils instead of split.
