I thought today we might have a drink together. When you start the BTD there are a lot of adjustments to make to your food and drink intake and the drinks mentioned below relate to me as an A type. You can check your own compatibility on the Type base.

Green Tea - Beneficial

I drink at least one mug of green tea a day sometimes two. In Australia the most popular brands are Dilmah and Madurah. Major brands such as Twinings and Liptons are also available although be aware that Liptons have some extras in theirs which are avoids for type A. There are also numerous Chinese and Japanese types available from Asian specialty stores.

Herbal Tea - Beneficial

There are many beneficial herbal teas available to the type A, my personal favourite particularly in Winter is Rose Hip.

Coffee - Beneficial

I drink one mug of coffee per day with my lunch. I decided early on that if I was drinking coffee I wasn’t going to drink instant. I keep freshly ground coffee with me at work and use a Cafetiere mug, same principal as a coffee plunger but in a mug. Ideal for making one freshly brewed coffee either at work or at home. I have no particular favourite coffee and like to try as many different ones as possible.

Soy Milk - Beneficial

I have soy milk daily on my breakfast cereal.

Water and Lemon – Beneficial

I drink two to three litres of water daily, although not often with Lemon.

Red Wine – Beneficial

One glass daily when I get home from work, if you don’t particularly like red wine or it’s a cheap rough red, try the medieval approach and water it down. It works.

Pineapple Juice – Beneficial

One 250ml glass usually in the evening.

Beer – Avoid

Never, only really appeals on a really hot day but I don’t have any in the house, so no temptation.

Distilled Liquor – Avoid

Never. Really missed my drop of Scotch to start with though. Not a problem now.

If you having a drink tonight - Cheers.
