Here are his Top 5::

OATMEAL FLAKES

There's never a shortage of oatmeal in my house at breakfast time. I have eaten them for years and I've also included them in my children's diet. With a bit of crushed plantain and milk, it makes a great breakfast for them and helps with good digestion. I occasionally mix those with cocoa (and at night after a tiring day this indulge makes me feel really wonderful).

TEA

Tea is my drink. Since I have been coffee intolerant for many years, I soon discovered that tea offered plenty of possibilities. I like black tea for breakfast, but mid-afternoon I prefer the more flowery or citrus options. At night a chai tea with soy milk is ideal. Rooibos is also a marvel for people who need variants with no theine, such as pregnant women.

FLOUR

I like to make bread at home, so I never go without strong flour or yeast. Lately I've been doing a few experiments and sometimes I add seeds, dehydrated fruit or even sweet breads stuffed with chocolate. I do everything in the bread machine, which has been a great ally. An additive-free bread made of quality ingredients pops out and lasts for several days.

FRUIT

For me, fruit is indispensable. I like it to be very varied and seasonal. I eat it as a dessert with all my dishes and sometimes eat a combination of them with a glass of warm milk. In summer fruit is a real spectacle, but in winter I also like to have oranges and mandarins, which disappear quickly because in our house we all love them.

BATH SALTS

Soaking in a bath with salts alongside an aromatic candle for a relaxing moment is one of the things I like the most. From time to time I like to disconnect from everything. I put music on, fill up the bathtub, dim the lights and unload all the accumulated stress and tiredness.
