Most of us take for granted the extreme role food has in our health. We eat habitually and not intentionally.
Unfortunately, the media, government, and large corporations have sent so many mixed messages regarding diet and nutrition, that most people are confused about the truth. Our selection of food may often be far from the best.
As a culture, we tend to generally accept that some foods are good and some are bad for us but beyond this level of understanding, there is no deeper meaning behind the way we eat. This may not be the correct approach.
The concept of humans eating is largely limited to tastes, which can be developed and thus not necessarily the truth. Sicknesses are on the increase. Ignorance towards what goes in the digestion process and the lack of will to change affects our health. Once food is ingested, we have little control over it thereafter. It must follow through prescribed process and deliver the outcome, under the control of nerves.
A more reasonable approach to determining the true dietary nature of humans is to study human anatomy and physiology. By studying human physiological nature, certain characteristics of the proper diet can be deduced that are in accordance with the inherent nature and anatomical makeup of humankind. Human physical capabilities and predispositions are the chief factors in determining true dietary needs.
Obviously, anything in the world can be put into the stomach and probably has. If you name a thing, people in some parts of the world are likely to be eating that. But that does not mean we are supposed to eat anything, in any way, in any quantity we like. After all, the human digestion system is the same with all, and every system is designed in a certain way. The physiology of the digestion system is such that only foods in compatible combinations can be effectively digested.
Our health is strongly within our own power to control. You cannot reverse the aging process or prevent death, but you can prevent premature death and maintain a high quality of life and health well into the twilight years by adhering to the advice in this book.
I hope to convince you, to eat more nutrient-dense, health-promoting foods, and less other foods. And that, enough good options are available. Life is all about balance.
The efforts in this book are to present what is best for you, in a very simple and structured way; not just saying do this and don't do that, but explaining things scientifically and logically.
And, if you think we eat solely to feed your physical body, you are wrong: you also eat to nourish your heart, mind, soul, and spirit.
You eat some fruit, and once this food has been digested and assimilated it helps to keep your whole body in good working order. Now, what is this Intelligence capable of bringing each organ in our body what it needs to keep us alive? How can we not be overcome with admiration for this Intelligence? Why not give it more thought and show it gratitude?
The most important thing about food is not the substance of the food itself but the energy it contains, the quintessence locked inside it, for that is where life is to be found. The substance is only a medium; through it, we must try to reach the quintessence, in order to also nourish our subtle bodies.
Unfortunately, we have somehow come to a point in the human experience, where we no longer intuitively know what is correct for us to eat. Let that sink in for a moment. This is spiritual disconnection.
