After an indulgent holiday season, I like to start off the New Year with a dietary cleanse. I have found it highly effective, for both myself and my clients, to eliminate the most problematic foods- wheat, dairy, alcohol, and all other sugar based or artificially sweetened drinks (see below for a detailed list) for 4 weeks. During this time it is equally important to eat fresh, unprocessed, nutrient dense foods to help detoxification and support optimal health.
Does Milk Really Do A Body Good?
Big money has been spent convincing us that we “need” milk for healthy bones, a slim waist, and to help our children grow big and strong. Diary is, after all, one of the essential food groups on the USDA’s food pyramid. It has been estimated, however, that up to 75% of the world’s population does not properly digest either the proteins (casein and whey) or the sugars (lactose) in cows milk. Therefore, we must ask ourselves, Does drinking milk do us more harm than good?
