HEALTH QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Diet & Nutrition
Some time ago I realized the importance of good nutrition

for bettering my health and I began reading health books in an

attempt to find the right diet for me.  The more I read the more

confused I became.  Even the experts don't agree.  Can you

recommend some simple method for choosing my diet?


     It is recommended that the better part of the diet consist

of fresh, raw fruits and vegetables with some lightly steamed

vegetables.  These are the foods that put the least strain on the

digestive system, leave the least toxins in the body, and have

the greatest cleansing effect.  Also, they are rich in minerals,

vitamins and enzymes.  Additionally, they tend to have a more

positive effect on the mind, neither causing agitation nor

lethargy as do some other foods.

     Using fruits and vegetables as the base, we would then add

natural whole grains, and non-meat proteins such as, eggs, milk,

cheese, nuts, beans, peas, avocados.  Meat is not recommended

because although it contains high quality protein, it leaves many

toxins in the body and may cause deposits to form in the

arteries, joints and muscles.

   
                            
You recommend a diet high in raw fruits and vegetables.  If

I eat more than just a small salad, I get excessive gas.  Certain

foods, like cabbage, I haven't been able to eat in years.  How

can I possibly follow this diet?

     Just do the best you can.  If you have been used to eating

mostly cooked vegetables, your stomach may have difficulty

handling much raw vegetables.  Try to increase the amount

gradually.  The food you eat must not only be good, it must also

be food that your body can handle.  From among the most

nutritious food, select the best food for you.  Then stick to

that diet.
