Eat at every meal:
- Vegetables, including leafy greens and herbs, and pulses
- Small portion of carbohydrates such as white rice or pasta, sourdough breads such as ciabatta
- Vinegar and other fermented foods such as miso and pickled vegetables

- Olive oil and nuts
Eat a few times a week:
- Fish and seafood, particularly smaller, fattier fish such as
herring, sardines and anchovies (If you are vegetarian, choose an omega 3
supplement)
- Fruits
- Cheese
- Eggs; poultry
- Alcohol (Red wine is best, no more than two small glasses a day. If you don’t drink, don’t start)
Eat occasionally or never:
- Red meat
- Commercial white bread
