We are what we eat, it is said. And if you think about it in any depth, all the food that goes into our stomachs breaks down and eventually becomes part of the cells that make up our bodies, or it is passed on out as waste matter.

Here's a few ideas you might mull over before selecting your daily nosh:

• Eat food....not too much, mostly plants.
• Eat meals, not snacks.
• Eat wild, if possible.
• Avoid anything out of a packet, tin or plastic package, whose contents are unfamiliar, unpronounceable or more than five in number.
• Would you great-grandmother recognise it as food? If so, it's probably OK for you!

Bon appetit!
