ALKALINE ‘SUPER-FOODS’



          Eat any of these foods every day in MyMT™ Liver-Lover Phase. A ‘super’ food is scientifcally
          evidenced to be rich in nutrients (vitamins and minerals) that contribute to the health of the
          body.

          SPINACH –             This is your nutritional power-house. Buy
                                organic if possible. Spinach is rich in
                                chlorophyll, a potent alkaliser and blood-
                                booster.


          KALE -                Kale is anti-inflammatory because it is anti-
                                oxidant rich. This means it is full of healthy
                                nutrients, espeically non-haem iron. Put this
                                super-food into your M MT™ Tool-box
                                because, when steamed  before eating, it is
                                your cholesterol-lowering helper.

          CUCUMBER –            This is your hydrating food. It is 95% water as well as being loaded with anti-
                                oxidants and lignens.

          BROCCOLI -            Broccoli is in the same family as cabbage, brussel sprouts and cauliflower.
                                These are all cruciferous vegies. They must become part of your Liver-Lover
                                Armoury. This is because they all breakdown to produce Indole-3-Carbinol (L-
                                3C). This substance is crucial in the fight against inflammation as well as
                                oestrogen metabolism.

          AVOCADO -             MyMT™ has listed avocado as one of our alkaline super-foods because of its
                                nutrient abundance. With high levels of Vitamin K, Folate, Vitamin C,
                                Potassium and B5, B6 vitamins, this
                                food is essential for menopausal
                                women. They don’t contain
                                cholesterol and contain more
                                potassium than bananas. They are
                                loaded with heart-healthy mono-
                                unsaturated fats, fibre and can
                                lower artery-blocking tri-glycerides.
                                Eat avocadoes daily!
