Spring tips
Reduce foods that are heavy, sticky, sour and sweet. Examples: potatoes, pasta, fried foods, processed foods, junk food, etc
Reduce dairy as it increases mucous congestion. If you are having dairy make sure it’s only in small amounts, warm or well seasoned (example: add black pepper to cheese, etc).
Increase barley (one of the most suitable grains to eat during this time). It has the ability to dry up excess mucous in the body, regulate blood sugars and cleanse the lymphatic system. You can add pearled barley to soups & stews or you can have rolled barley instead of oats, as porridge for breakfast.
Lighten your diet and start enjoying the seasonal vegetables that are on offer.
Start exercising (if you’re not used to exercising then start slowly and build up your level of fitness gradually).
Avoid afternoon naps! At this time of year you don’t want to slow your body’s metabolism down any more than it should. It’s the time of year you should be getting active not lazing around.
