Nutritional deficiencies and toxicity in the body are at the root of human disease and no therapy can build and repair tissue without proper nutritional support.
A healthy food regimen is important at any age but is especially important after age 40 when our organs, glands and tissues begin to slow down. We need to focus on getting balanced meals, sufficient exercise and enough rest. These 6 guidelines are outlined to help with better eating.
●No fried foods or foods cooked in hot oil. Frying destroys nutrients and the lecithin needed to balance cholesterol. And it alters the chemical composition of foods, which is unsafe. Using fried foods increases the risk of heart disease and cancer.
● Don’t eat unless you’re hungry enough to eat wholesome foods. Have healthy foods available to eat when hungry otherwise you will snack on processed unhealthy foods. It isn’t good to eat just because it is mealtime. Your body knows when it needs food, so it is best to wait until you’re hungry before eating. That is when your digestion will work best.
● Don't eat if you feel ill at ease in mind and/or body. It's best to put off eating if you don’t feel good mentally or physically, as your digestion won’t work correctly. Wait until later and your appetite returns. Do not be afraid of missing a meal because no harm will be done.
● Don’t overeat. Eating too fast makes it easy to overeat because by the time the brain says, “I’m full,” the stomach has already received a second helping. Overeating invites too many problems. Eat slowly and deliberately, deciding in advance how much you’ll eat.
● Chew your food thoroughly. It will digest better.
● Skip meals if you’re tired, upset, in pain, chilled, overheated or sick. Rest is more important than eating in all such cases because eating and digesting require energy that is needed to rebalance body systems and heal tissues that need it.
Many people have never learned proper eating guidelines, so lets try and incorporate these core values into everyday life. This information is as relevant now as it was in 1988.
