Optimum Diet for Vibrant Health
Focus on food choices which promote vibrant health.
We are giving a direction to move in. No-one is 100% perfect all the time.
Quote from metabolic typing diet. William Wollcot
- Primitive Cultures- Largely strong and vigorous,
- Cancer, diabetes, tooth decay, stroke, depression extremely rare.
- Disease follows modern living - processed foods
The main point is NATURAL food.
They ate fresh locally grown food.
No one size fits all diet.
Key Points
- Fresh
- Raw
- Organic
Fresh- No frig, tin cans, cardboard boxes, plastic wrap. Food was eaten largely as is, right off the bush, tree plant etc.
Food begins to break down soon after being picked. Processing, packaging, long travel and storage all degrade the quality of food.
Locally grown is best. Food that occurs naturally in your environment.
Consider planting a small garden and a couple fruit trees. Organic garden.
Raw- Not recommending eating raw meat, but as far as fruit and veggies.
No microwave ovens, stove etc.
Heat destroys enzymes
Over 3000 types of enzymes in the body, life itself depends on enzymes. Enzymes are the spark plugs of the body.
Modern diet extremely deficient in enzymes. Causes stress on the bodies stores, depletes energy.
Organic- Not sprayed with chemical insecticides, weed killers, artificial fertilizers.
Would you suck down a can of insect spray?
SBO’s lacking in today’s food supply.
Over 10,000 types of microorganisms in one teaspoon of dirt.
AKA friendly flora, probiotics. Digestive tract is lined with multiple billions of microorganisms. Yogurt is most well known.
Friendly should be 85%. Unfriendly 15%
- Keep bad bacteria at bay
- Help with digestion and assimilation
- Promote the immune system
- Protect the lining of digestive tractÂ
Antibiotics kill organisms in digestive tract, but not yeast. Modern cows and chickens are routinely given antibiotics
Primitive diets contained much higher amounts of Omega 3 Fatty Acids.
These are called Essential Fatty Acids
You are what you eat- but what about what you eat eats? Take another step down the food chain.
Alarming fact: cows fed a natural diet of grass, have higher amounts of Omega 3. Look for grass-fed beef.
———–
Increase fresh, raw, organic vegetables and fruits as much as possible.
Eat pure clean animal protein. Look for hormone and anti-biotic free.
Eat nuts and seeds
Focus on whole grains
Olive oil is the best oil, stay away from heated oils and trans fats.
Don’t stress out about not being perfect. Today’s society is based on convenience and shelf life.
