Clear Passage Physical Therapy Digestive Health Guide Produce • Frozen Vegetables. Frozen vegetables can actually be more nutrient-rich than their fresh counterparts. Vegetables are frozen as soon as they are picked rather than being trucked many miles, then left to sit on store shelves. A good variety of organic frozen vegetables is essential for anyone who wants to make healthy and tasty meals in ten minutes (including preparation, cooking and cleanup). Good frozen vegetables include: Asparagus, butternut squash, broccoli/cauliflower mix and chopped spinach. Chopped spinach lends a creamy, cheesy-like texture to the vegetables. • Avocado. Men may eat up to 1 whole avocado per day; women may eat ½ avocado per day. • Beets and Bananas. It is important to have both beets and bananas on hand for bowel elimination. Beets thin gall bladder bile while cleaning the liver and intestinal tract. Steamed and eaten in the evening, they will often insure healthy elimination the next morning. Conversely, bananas are helpful to slow elimination. 18

Straight from the sap of a coconut tree, blended with sun dried, mineral-rich sea salt and aged until it naturally ferments, this is a great product to have in your pantry. It contains 17 amino acids and up to 14 times the amino content of soy. Best of all, it lends a rich smoky flavor to your vegetables. Coconut Secret also makes an easily digestible vinegar. Seasonings You may use a variety of herbs and spices for cooking, as long as they are individual ingredients rather than premixed seasonings, which often contain gluten, nightshades or other ingredients you should avoid. Avoid curry or any other premixed seasoning that contains chili pepper or other nightshades (eggplant, mushrooms, peppers, potatoes or tomatoes) or citrus ingredients. Seasonings that are allowed: • Basil • Bay leaf • Black pepper • Brown mustard • Chives • Cilantro • Cinnamon • Cloves • Coriander • Cumin • Fennel • Garlic powder • Garlic flakes • Ginger • Mint • Mustard • Nutmeg • Oregano • Parsley • Peppermint • Saffron • Tarragon • Thyme • Turmeric • Himalayan Salt or Sea Salt. These are great substitutes for traditional table salt. Most table salts have been reduced to two synthetic compounds - sodium and chloride - that can cause many health issues. Natural salt is a great source of minerals and may be used freely. • Organic Garlic Flakes. These little flakes can add significant flavor. 19
