HOW TO EAT - WHAT TO EAT

The way we eat affects not only the digestion and the assimilation of what we eat but also our state of mind. For good assimilation of the nutritive elements, the correct attitude is peace, calm, silence, respect and joy.

Dr. DeBavelaere will suggest, depending on the ailments, certain food restrictions. We know that it is not easy to choose between habits and ailments, but the choice is yours. It is important to advise him if you do not change your eating habits.

Food quality and presentation are of the utmost importance and should never be neglected. Quantity varies from one person to another. The suggestions below are only a summary.

Generally we have to decrease
