To kick-start a healthy Autumn, we’re posting 10 tips on eating clean. Eating “clean” will improve your mood, energy levels, reduce your cholesterol and improve your protection against degenerative diseases in the future. Clean eating means plenty of fruit and vegetables, plenty of water, low sugar and salt, low saturated fats and a large reduction in processed foods. The impact of this kind of eating can be felt within days resulting in a feeling of increased well-being, high energy and better quality sleep.
