Hydration is one of the most important keys to the WildFit Challenge. Your highest priority, in terms of beverages, should always be clean mineral water. There are a few things to consider with water: 1) Mineral water is better than distilled water.2) Most tap water has, at best, chemical additives and, at worse, pollutants.3) It is better to drink room temperature water but cold is fine if you prefer it.We also recommend that you drink water about 10-15 minutes before or after you eat so that you can: 1) Reduce your appetite. Remember, thirst is one of the 6 Human Hungers. 2) Avoid diluting digestive fluids and potentially slowing down digestion.

Fruit is considered both “Essential” and “Occasional” in WildFit. Fruits are packed with energy, vitamins and minerals and act as excellent cleansers as they pass, quickly, through the digestive system. They are also very water rich which supports our quest for effective hydration. When eating fruit, please consider the following: 1) Eat fruit on an empty stomach; allow it to pass through the stomach unobstructed for most effective processing and digestion.2) Wherever possible, aim to get your fruit from Organic farms.3) Eat only raw fruit; cooked fruit is not WildFit Approved.

Vegetables, as a group, are the only food that is considered almost ‘unrestricted’ from a WildFit perspective. Here are a few things to consider when buying, preparing and consuming vegetables: 1) Cooking kills. Generally speaking, raw is better. Close to raw is okay. And over-cooking should be avoided.2) Always aim for veggies that are grown “organically”. 3) Choose a wide variety of veggies and cycle through them all year long.
