Our Dietary Suggestions
 Individualized Dietary
Recommendations
As an important part of your
healing program, we ask that you make changes to your diet that will
greatly facilitate your healing process. The changes that you are asked
to implement by your practitioner at Tao of Wellness are specific to
your condition only, as each patient is evaluated and treated
individually. Please discuss any questions you may have with you
practitioner for clarification. The outcome of your treatment is
dependent on the fulfillment of the healing partnership between you and
your practitioner.
General Guidelines
-
Digestive Fire – Support
your digestive system and try to stay away from icy beverages,
deep-fried, fatty foods, processed and refined foods, alcohol,
coffee, sugar and dairy products made from cow’s milk – all of which
can disrupts your digestion.
-
Chew Well – Your stomach
doesn’t have teeth! Properly chewing at least 20 times with each
bite will increase enzyme release and lead to better digestion and
absorption.
-
Mindfulness – Paying
attention while you eat can pay dividends in better absorption of
nutrients. Reading or watching TV while eating makes your stomach
compete with your brain. Be joyful and grateful with each bite of
food.
-
Regularity – Your body
functions best when fed steadily at regular intervals. Eat breakfast
before 9:00 a.m., lunch before 1:00 p.m. and dinner before 7:00 p.m.
Don’t eat right before bedtime unless you want to be working all
night long!
-
Eat to Live – You have
the power to make the choice of what to put into your mouth. Ask
yourself if your food choices will contribute to your health and
well-being or cause future problems. Don’t “live to eat” but “eat to
live.”
-
Nightshades – Tomato,
potato, eggplant, bell peppers belong to the nightshade plant
family. They contain as alkyloid – solanine, which is toxic and may
aggravate inflammatory conditions.
