Diet Resources
Metuka Daisy may recommend you make dietary changes as part of your healing process. In order to get the maximum benefit it is essential that you have full “ownership” over your choices, and as such Metuka Daisy recommends that you research your decisions. Here are some further resources to begin your research process.
Benefits of Soaking Nuts & Seeds
There are natural coatings around certain nuts and seeds to protect them from predators and these may cause problems for some people if you do not soak them for several hours before eating, even affecting your brain and levels of wellbeing. Book a session to find out more.
Caffeine Toxicity
Although unknown to most, caffeine can be the cause of headaches, lightheadedness, anxiety, agitation, tingling, heart palpitations, nausea and other symptoms. Book a session to find out more.
Dairy-Free
Dairy can cause mucus which contributes to colds, it can also be responsible for weight gain, infant allergies and sensitivities, and expose you to antibiotics and hormones. Book a session to find out how this might be affecting you.
Elimination Diets
By cutting out specific foods for a short period of time – e.g. one month without sugar, or a month without gluten – you can discover which foods may be negative affecting your health. Metuka Daisy will guide you on your journey. Book a session.
Fermented Foods
A weak digestive tract can cause problems for the entire body, as your gut is home to 85% of your immune system. Fermented foods help fortify your GI tract which can in turn improve your overall health. Book a session to find out more.
How To Ferment Foods
Many foods can be fermented (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fermented_foods) and an easy place to start is with home-made sauerkraut. This creates healthy bacteria which are available to the body, strengthening your gut. Get in touch with Metuka Daisy to find out more.
Filter Water
Tap water can be heavy in chlorine and other chemicals which can increase the risk of rectal cancer, colon cancer and bladder cancer. There are over 2100 known toxins that may be present in drinking water. Book a session to find out more.
Gluten-Free
Many people are affected by gluten sensitivity, which can cause joint inflammation, digestive problems, autoimmune diseases and more. This affects people with Celiac disease and many without. Book a session with Metuka Daisy to support your healing.
Green-Juice Benefits
Our bodies prefer a naturally alkaline state and Green juicing has many benefits to boost your health through drinking bio-available nutrients that can be quickly absorbed by your bloodstream. Book a session to find out more.
Sugar-Free
Processed white sugar can cause anxiety, mood swings, skin rashes, weight gain and other symptoms. Book a session with Metuka Daisy to find out more.
What is Gluten?
There have reportedly been changes to wheat production since the 1980s to make the grains more durable for commercial reasons, so that they are more resistant to pesticides and the foods preserve for longer. This in turn has affected many people’s ability to digest the grains and can cause a variety of health issues. Book a session with Metuka Daisy to support your healing.
