Welcome to REVIVE Week 2
This is all about bone broths, slow cooked meats and well cooked vegetables and a little stewed fruit. The variety is limited, but the job here is to heal. Providing lots of nourishment for the gut lining to repair and to decrease the load on the liver. Important to remember to have vegetables with every meal. Cruciferous veg such as broccoli, cauliflower, leeks, onions are great for helping the liver to detox, leafy greens are abundant in vitamin B’s, A,C and K which we need for repair and beautiful skin. All the other colourful vegetables are high in antioxidants that we need everyday to neutralise free radicals from the sun, chemicals, living, stress etc. Eat as many colourful and seasonal vegetables as you can for health.
Optional Bone Broth Fast:
Why broths are so good for you...
You probably remember your grandmother preparing a soup using bones from the butcher and having them simmer away for days on the stove top. It was a cherished part of my childhood, coming home to a hearty vegetable and beef broth in winter.
Nicknamed the “Jewish Penicillin” Bone Broths have been used for centuries as a healing brew. They are healing and soothing to the digestive tract as well as being an immediate source of energy to the cells of the intestinal wall.
Bone broth, whether made from chicken, lamb, beef or fish bones is full of nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, sulphur and other trace minerals as well as collagen, gelatin and amino acids. Bone broth soothes the lining of the digestive tract, reduces inflammation as well as being rich in chondroitin sulphates and glucosamine, especially good for those with joint inflammation.
Bone broths are available from organic markets, health food stores and organic butchers, or consider making broths at home.
A sustaining bone broth fast can kick start your metabolism and nourish your gut lining. Try it. Aim for up to 1-2 days.
Include Bone Broth, Ginger tea, Dandelion tea or chai, herbal infusions, fruit jellies
