🥗 Barbara’s Food Philosophy: Eat to Heal
Barbara isn’t about calorie counting or trendy diets. Her approach is intuitive, ancestral, and focused on nourishment — not restriction.
Examples of healing meals she loves:
-
🍅 Tomatoes with olive oil – a source of lycopene and healthy fats
-

-

-
🥣 Lentil soups and bean stews – gut-friendly and protein-rich
-
🥜 Raw nuts and seeds – energy and essential fatty acids
What she suggests avoiding:

🚫 White flour and industrial grains
-
🚫 Excessive caffeine
-
🚫 Aged or heavily processed dairy
