So in 3 short days Trey and I are starting our cleansing fast. If you are wondering why we would do such a thing its because we want to ensure our children to have optimal health and nutrition. We have been encouraged by different books and doctors to cleanse our bodies from toxins, free radicals, and chemicals. We don't want to just eat this way for 6 months but make it a life-style. Our Nourishing Traditions book has hundreds of pages explaining how these eating habits have been around for centuries and why it is so important to our diet.
One section is all on feeding babies. This is where we read about our cleansing fast and read of foods we need to eat liberally of, these include- organic liver and other organ meats, fish eggs and other seafood, eggs, and the best quality butter, cream, and fermented milk products. Its is also advised to take a daily cod liver supplement. Organic meats. vegetables, grains and legumes should round out the diet with lots of leafy green vegetables rich in folic acid. This is necessary to prevent of birth defects like spina bifida.
Another good suggestion is to inform those who live in your household about your new food regimen. I had my mother take a look at my NT book and she couldn't put it down ! She thought it was fascinating! I'm so excited to start this new adventure! I know this isn't going to be easy but I have a lot of people supporting us and I hope we can be an encouragement to you! I'll be back with my second shopping list and new recipes I'm trying out!
