Before farming came in to practise and increased food availability resulting in the global population boom world wide, the human body would only receive food as and when available, explaining the reason why our bodies hold on to carbohydrates and fat.


Since the human body naturally expects to starve, eating small amounts regularly will allow the body to clock on to the fact that it will be receiving food regularly and will actually start burning fat for fuel rather than storing it.


Having said that, it would be unreasonable to expect you to have broken sleep through the night just to get up for snacks! I think we can all probably do with out that, but we must understand JUST how important breakfast is to the body the start of our day.

Start your mornings with a glass of warm or hot water with some honey. For those of you with blood type A, you can also add some lemon to the hot water and honey combination.

Despite the sharp sour taste of lemon, it actually becomes alkaline once mixed with the stomach acids. This will warm up the stomach muscles and prepare it for the receiving and digesting food. It will also help cleanse the stomach.



From drinking something warm to introducing a meal, however small, you should leave a good 5 to 10 minutes. The introduction of food should be done slowly and with great thought.

Just as one would not start with a sprint at the gym but rather warm up with gentle walking or a slow jog, Give as much consideration, thought and respect to your stomach as you would the rest of your body.


Start by having some fruit. Specifically pineapples if you happen to like them. Digestion of fruit is relatively easy for the stomach; it normally takes around half an hour or so to digest fruit.


Pineapple is particularly good as it contains high levels of vitamin C, potassium; calcium and fibre is most potent when consumed on an empty stomach.

It also promotes the natural production of collagen in the body aiding the skin in looking young and plump.



Pineapple is very rich in vitamin C, calcium, potassium and fibre. It promotes the natural production of collagen in the body.
Pineapple also contains some thing called Beromelain which is an anti inflammatory agent which can help with various conditions. It is very beneficial to have after operations or bruising.
