6. Kick it up a notch. Add lots of spices to your food. If your food is tasty you will want to eat it and not eat junk or fast food. Most spices are also very powerful antioxidants. Hot things like pepper also increase our metabolic rate. Add spices right at end of cooking so they retain their full flavor and antioxidant power. Next time I will have tip of day be about what may be most powerful spice of all: cinnamon. If you can afford it or if you are lucky enough to have a garden or sunny window sill, using fresh herbs makes almost anything better. I like to keep a little basil plant on window sill in winter.

7. Eat some raw foods. Raw fruits and vegetables have important enzymes that aid our health and detoxify us. Wash them real well. If you can afford to, use organic fruits and vegetables or grow your own. They are often more nutritious. An apple a day keeps doctor way.

8. Reduce grilled or smoked foods. These processes make toxic chemicals. The ‘char’ on grilled foods and smoke flavor in smoked foods contain concentrated free radicals. I know they are delicious, but they are deadly. Try using broiler, oven or frying in olive oil as alternatives to grilling.

9. Take some vitamins. I think it is good to eat a Multivitamin; it can’t hurt and a big jar is cheep.

10. Drink lots of green tea and water. Ice water actually had negative calories. Drink a glass before a meal and you will be less likely to overeat. A glass of hot green tea after a meal will help digestion and elimination of any toxins.

11. Don’t skip breakfast. Your mom was right.
