Empower The Body:
The following tips are from Dr. Beasley's Book, "How to Defeat
Alcoholism":
- Eat a balanced diet including a wide variety of foods, as it is
impossible to fill all your body's needs if you eat only a few foods.
Good nutrition with the proper balance of protein, complex
carbohydrates, and unsaturated fats will ensure a more steady
supply of energy to every system of the body.
- Eat small frequent meals, with a small snack between meals to
maintain blood sugar levels. Try to eat something every two to three
hours. Good snacks include cheese, nuts or seeds, small pieces of
meat or poultry, yogurt, fruit, or raw veggies.
- Eliminate or reduce consumption of sugar and sugar-containing
foods and caffeine.
- Eliminate or reduce the intake of highly processed foods including
refined carbohydrate
- Eliminate or rotate any known allergy-producing foods.
- Take a high quality vitamin and mineral supplement and follow a
nutritional supplement protocol to ensure you include all the natural
neurotransmitter precursors to help the brain recover normal
production of the chemicals which provide the natural high of good
health.
- Schedule regular time for exercise. Regular exercise (enough to
work up a sweat) three or more times a week will also increase
stamina and vigor, particularly if the activity is something a person
really enjoys.
