There's some great ideas, thanks! I did find out easy to get foods which have an alkaline pH and are good for you are Almonds, Asparagus, Avocado, Beetroot and Broccoli and I do like all those things so that's a start. I've never been able to eat anything with garlic in it at all. It just upsets me something shocking so many recipes and sauces with that in for me aren't ok. I need an alternative.
Other good things I have a list of are banana, carrots, sweet potato, pumpkin and apples. Bananas don't keep well in our Qld heat but the rest do pretty well in the fridge. My son is adding lettuce to his sandwiches lately so that's a start. If I could just stop him putting lashings of cheese on everything, we'd be a lot better off. Perhaps our diets are too complicated nowadays and we just need to stick to the same few boring staples and jazz it up here and there for the variety bit?
I've been eyeing off my overgrown plant garden lately and thinking maybe I could dig the whole lot out, add some manure and grow some vegs of my own? Never been real successful in gardening, I forget to water it. Now there's an idea, maybe we could start a healthy eating with recipes and a gardening group?
