Pureed Foods?
Alves co-founded Yummy Spoonfuls, a baby food company that consists of preservative-free organic fruit and vegetable purees. She loves these things and soon after she began to give them to her kids, she began to get hooked to them. “I did a cleanse and there were a lot of pureed meals, and my body just agreed with it,” she explains. “It was realistic to do all pureed meals, so I do a combination,” she says.
Alves says that she started feeling bloated, so she felt that her digestive system needed a break. “For me, clean eating is making sure whatever I’m eating is fresh or organic, and that I’m only eating packaged foods with ingredients I recognize,” she says.
Her ultimate bloat banishing drink is to boil parsley in four cups of water and drink three to four cups a day for three days leading up to a major event. Another trick up her sleeve is drinking one to two tablespoons of olive oil with a squeeze of lemon juice before bed each night. She says it helps lubricate your intestines, which is another way of saying it can relieve constipation and keep your digestive tract on check.
