Recent research shows that, as cholesterol is the way animals store excess carbohydrates, a diet high in processed carbohydrates forces the liver to work hard to store it away and therefore it can result in an imbalance between the good and ‘bad’ kinds of cholesterol. Real whole foods are always the key.
The large intestine is also very affected by the dryness and constipation can be exacerbated in autumn and the very foods that help are ripening now. Stewed plums are wonderful, as are stewed apple and rhubarb a treat and are so delicious!
