Foods to REDUCE or AVOID in Your Diet

RED MEAT: High intake of beef, pork, and lamb is strongly associated with cancer, heart disease, and obesity due to their high saturated fat (inflammatory) and cholesterol content.

However, the above foods are an excellent source of protein, B6, B12 and easily absorbable haem iron.

DAIRY PRODUCTS: butter, milk, cream, cheese, and yoghurt are high in saturated fat and cholesterol and must be avoided by people suffering from obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol levels, and cancer patients. Dairy products also encourage skin conditions such as acne, eczema, dermatitis and psoriasis. Due to intensive farming, dairy products can be high in oestrogen – avoid if suffering from any oestrogen-related conditions such as breast cancer, PCO, fibroids, etc.

Alternatives: soya milk, soy cheese, soy yoghurt, rice milk, oat milk, almond milk, goat’s milk, goat’s cheese, and sheep’s yoghurt.

PROCESSED MEAT: Salami, sausages, ham, Parma ham, luncheon meats—these foods contain preservatives like nitrites and nitrates and are high in salt and saturated fat. Nitrites convert into highly carcinogenic nitrosamines in the stomach.

Foods to REDUCE or AVOID

REFINED FOODS: white sugar, cakes, biscuits, white bread and pasta, white rice.

These are denatured foods and empty calories. They contain no fibre, vitamins or minerals. Due to the lack of fibre, we absorb these foods rapidly, and when consumed excessively, it may lead to blood sugar imbalance.

Alternatives: wholemeal bread, rye bread, Ryvita, oatcakes, wholemeal pasta, cereals (e.g. gluten-free muesli intolerant to wheat)

SUGAR AND HONEY: Sugar compromises the immune system up to 15 hours after ingestion—excess sugar, which doesn’t turn into energy, converts into fat and cholesterol. Honey and maple syrup are marginally better. Many foods and drinks contain added sugar (read labels).

Alternatives: Replace all sugars with molasses when cooking; FOS (BioCare) when not cooking.

Dilute fruit juice and soak dried fruit.

ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS

Aspartame is found in many foods, including yoghurt. People with phenylketonuria, or PKU, should avoid it. PKU is a lack of the enzyme needed to convert phenylalanine into tyrosine. High concentrations of phenylalanine cause brain damage. People with iron deficiencies, kidney disease, and epilepsy must also avoid aspartame. For such people, aspartame consumption may increase the risk of toxicity.

PRESERVATIVES AND ADDITIVES: watch out for the E numbers in foods – these chemicals are carcinogens, so avoid them whenever possible. Please note that ready-made meals, takeaways and snacks such as crisps and salted nuts contain many chemicals.

SALT/SALTED FOODS: although we need sodium (Na) in the diet for normal body functions,

overeating salt causes high blood pressure, strokes and heart attacks and aggravates fluid retention.

YEAST CONTAINING FOODS: those sensitive to yeast and some candida sufferers must avoid yeast in bread, marmite, alcohol and other fermented foods.  

CHOCOLATE: is high in fat and sugar (and calories), and the caffeine in chocolate may trigger migraine headaches. 

However, moderate amounts of chocolate can give the depressive a natural lift. Chocolate contains theobromine, which triggers the release of natural “feel-good” chemicals in the brain. The best chocolate is organic dark chocolate containing at least 70% cocoa solids.

Alternatives: Carob bars, fruit and nut bars.

Bikini line waxing

COFFEE

Caffeine can interfere with mineral absorption and increase the pancreas’s insulin, leading to hypoglycaemia. It may also seriously affect the digestive system. Coffee also raises blood pressure, as we know. It exacerbates PMS, osteoporosis, and the risk of miscarriage and birth problems.

Used for stimulation when tired, it may be helpful for headaches and fluid retention. Best drunk organic, filtered and in minimal quantities.

Alternatives: Barley cup, No Café, Caro

TEA: Black tea is a stimulant, and its tannins can interfere with the body’s uptake of essential minerals, especially iron (anaemia).

Alternatives: Green tea is an antioxidant and cancer-protective due to the effects of bioflavonoids found in green tea. There is growing evidence that green tea populations have a lower incidence of cancer and heart disease.

Fruit and herb teas (decaffeinated)

FIZZY DRINKS: These include cola, caffeine, sugar, phosphoric acid (excrete calcium), and many chemicals that compromise the immune system and induce hyperactivity in susceptible children. 

ALCOHOL: depletes B vitamins. Excess alcohol converts into fat, and excessive drinking can lead to obesity and cardiovascular disease. Women should not exceed 1 unit of alcohol per day, and men should not exceed two.

CIGARETTES: Smoking causes both heart disease and cancer. Smoking depletes vitamin C.

Cadmium in cigarettes competes with zinc for absorption (zinc is vital for immunity and fertility).

Carbon monoxide in tobacco smoke makes the blood more likely to clot and replace oxygen, starving body tissues of oxygen.

Nicotine leads to a constriction of the blood vessels and an increase in the heart rate, making the heart work harder. Nicotine also causes blood to clot more quickly, which can lead to thrombosis.
