7am Under the guidance of my integrative doctor,I take a mix of supplements and powders to keep me healthy and young from the inside out. I pair these with several glasses of water and a banana.
8am A tea with lactose-free milk – I am intolerant to both lactose and fructose. I also refill my water bottle often during the day.
1pm A wrap with spinach,lettuce,ham,tomato,avocado and pickles.
3pm Two Haigh’s chocolate frogs.
8pm After 12 hours in my clinic,my husband and I head to the local pub where I have a chicken schnitzel with cabbage slaw,a glass of pinot noir and a few tall glasses of soda water.
Dr Joanna McMillan says:
Top marks for … Drinking plenty of water. Good hydration is essential for gut and brain health. Opting for lactose-free milk was a great choice to deliver you the benefits of dairy,including calcium and protein.
If you keep eating like this you’ll …Fail to provide your body with the nutrients and antioxidants it needs. Supplements can’t replace the sheer number of beneficial compounds found in whole foods. This day lacked a variety of vegies,nuts,seeds,legumes and wholegrains.
Why don’t you try … Choosing a healthier pub meal such as baked salmon or a grilled lean steak with plenty of salad or steamed vegies instead of slaw. Snack on a mix of nuts and low-fructose fruits such as kiwifruit,citruses and passionfruit.
