Healthy Diet
Principles
For
many people it is best to adopt your healthy diet
gradually. It is better to improve one aspect of the diet
at a time and persist, than to overhaul the diet
completely - only to become overwhelmed and fall back
into previous bad habits.
The healthy diet presented here:
- Has
strong and simple rules to help you decide what to
include in your healthy diet
- Includes
a large amount of food in its healthy natural or near
natural state
- Can be
used to prepare quick, convenient, healthy meals
without having to rely so much on manufactured
foods
- Actively
promotes good health
- Appeals
to common sense
- Need
not be high cost
Here
is a summary of the main principles of this healthy
diet.
-
Fruit and (non-starchy) vegetables are a large proportion
of this healthy diet - 50-80% (half to four fifths).
(Starchy vegetables - mainly potatoes in the West - are
fine, but starches are included in the 'other part' of the
diet.)
-
Starch and protein are a small proportion of the healthy
diet - 20-50%. This includes potatoes, rice and
bread (starchy foods); meat, fish, eggs, milk and cheese
(we recommend you minimise these types of protein); and
legumes (beans), nuts and seeds (moderate protein +
starch).
-
Eat as much food raw as possible. Of the large
proportion of fruit and non-starchy vegetables in the diet,
cook as little as possible, because cooking destroys some
of the life-giving qualities of these foods.
-
Reduce to a minimum foods which detract from health.
These include meat (which putrefies in the intestines of
humans, so favour a vegetarian diet), dairy foods, alcohol,
tea and coffee, sugar, salt and food additives, which are
common in manufactured foods.
- Chew
food well. Dr Christopher, reputed herbalist and
naturopath, said; "Chew your solids until they are
liquid, and chew your liquids as if they were solid,"
so as to mix saliva thoroughly with the food. (The
liquids Dr Christopher was thinking of were fruit
juices and vegetable juices.)
- Stop
eating just before feeling full. If completely full,
there is not enough space in the stomach for food to
digest.
- Preserve
teeth by cleaning them after every meal. Food
particles remaining in the mouth provide nourishment
for the oral bacteria which cause gum disease and
weaken teeth. Ideally, brush after each meal and
floss and irrigate once a day. See Tom Cornwell's
site: www.mizar5.com

adherence to these healthy diet principles is not
necessary; strictness can just add stress to life. If
you are one of the few who can follow the diet
principles completely, that is fine; but to follow
the healthy diet by 90-95% is a worthy aim, and will
make you healthy far beyond the average.
The
main topics when considering a healthy diet are those of
the low proportion of
fruit and non-starchy vegetables which most people
have in their diet and the high proportion of starch and
protein which is really not healthy.
For
this reason the following sections of 'Healthy Diet'
cover
- The
low proportion of fruit and vegetables
- the nutrient rich foods - in most people's diet,
and
- The
high proportion of starch and protein - which is
really not healthy, as these foods are not only low
in many nutrients, but they produce acids when
digested.
Your
healthy diet will have a high proportion
of fruit and non-starchy vegetables; and a
low
proportion of protein and starch (potatoes are a
starchy vegetable and so included in the 'starch'
category).

next page considers Fruit and
Vegetables.
