Dietetic Principles For Sound Health
What are the basic
principles of right living, to ensure the best health you can have with the limitations imposed by the body you have?
Here are some principles of healthful dietetic living.
Regularity in meals. Do not eat them early or late, but maintain a regular schedule. Your stomach is used to eating at certain times each day.
Moderation. Only eat as much as you need. Never overeat. Only eat to satisfy hunger and then stop.
Take small bites. Only put a small amount in your month at a time. You will chew and salivate it better.
Relax and eat slowly. If you are too rushed to eat, then, do not eat. While eating, o not be hurried, anxious, worried, fatigued or angry.
Chew your food well. You will derive far more energy out of even less food if you do this.
Do not eat too many things at a meal. Three or four items (plus a little salt, oil etc) are all you need.
Avoid complicated mixtures. Say no to the gravies, vegetable leaves, gluten foods and all the rest. Just keep your meal simple.
Avoid peculiar additives such as vinegar, monosodium glutamate etc, which only upset your stomach and slow digestion.
Vary your diet from meal to meal. For instance, if you ate Oatmeal this morning, try rye or wheat tomorrow.
Aside from fresh, raw juices or the green drink, drink all your liquids (water) between meals not with your meal.
As a rule, eat your fruit at one meal and vegetable at another. However, acid fruits (such as citrus) can be eaten with either.
Greens have more compacted vitamins and minerals than other types of food. They only lack vitamin D, which the body can get from sunlight but they do not have adequate amounts of trace mineral.
The best pattern is to rest before the meal and walk around after it, not vice versa. (coined from the Nature Remedies Encyclopedia sixth Edition )
