Diet tips for you

It's that time of year again, we're going through a body overhaul and we need a little help with it too.

Dr Prasanna Kerur Ayurvedic, consultant at the Ayush Wellness Spa, Jersey, advises the following tips to lose weight naturally this New Year:


1. Start the day with “honey water” using a teaspoonful of good quality honey (like Manuka) to half a pint of still water.

2. Eat light with a combination of raw and freshly cooked, easily digestible food.

3. Stick to regular eating patterns and avoid skipping meals.

4. Sleep is vital to keep our biological rhythm in balance, so avoid too much or too little

5. Eat whole meal grains and lentils and avoid processed, sugary food stuff. 

6. Use healthy herbs and spices like fresh ginger, turmeric, garlic, cumin seeds and black pepper in routine cooking that have properties to reduce bad cholesterol, protect vital organs and trigger body’s metabolism.

7. Exercise regularly

8. Fast for a day once a fortnight to allow the bodies systems to have a rest which will help to regularise the metabolism.

9. Reduce red meat, pork, shell fish, excess dairy products, excess wheat and alcohol and eat more fish.
