New for Day 23:

32. Note number 11 above! Now all caffeinated drinks should be replaced with either green tea, herbal teas or water.

33. No more microwaving! Microwaving food destroys a huge amount of the vitamins, minerals and enzymes in food, not to mention interfering with your own electromagnetic field and is even thought to have an mutating effect on our cells. Take frozen items out the freezer the night before you want to consume them and then pop them in a pan to warm through or put them straight in the pan from frozen on a very low heat to defrost.

That’s it for Day Twenty Three!
