ALKALINE SUPER-FOODS



          Eat any of these foods every day in MyMT™ Liver-Lover Phase

          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!
