Dietetic and nutrition

We have to be of bad faith, not to realize that we don’t eat what we like, but rather what we are told to eat.

The food industry, with its economic power throughout the world, puts under its control peoples and governments. It dictates to us by advertising, legislating, and labeling as well as by it’s so-called scientific research (of which it is the main sponsor), our dietary habits. Large supermarket corporations act as they wish, without any moral, and play directly with the health of their costumers.

Most people are dependent on their inaccurate beliefs in the field of nutrition and I could multiply endlessly testimonies and examples such as:

“Milk is full of calcium, it is good for health”.

Well… NO. The human being is unique in drinking the milk of another species. Cows’ milk contains all the indispensable nourishing elements for the growth of a calf between 0 and 1 year of age. The problems due to its consumption by Man (asthma, allergy, bronchitis, Eczema, etc.) are now well known.

In reality, people who do not consume milk have a rate of cancer lower than the world average (Asian countries for example).

Only their mother’s milk is indispensable to human babies; it is the best food for them. Breast milk, and especially colostrums (milk of the first 10 days), is rich in elements protective against infection. Breast fed Children will be more robust and less exposed to allergies than others.

Hippocrates said 2,500 years ago: "May your food be your only medicine."

Here are few dietary advices for a better, lighter and healthier life:

- Choose fresh and organic foods

- Don’t eat too much red meat (quit if you can)

- Eat good quantity of raw food (fruits, vegetables, etc.)

- Eat a lot of biogenic food (sprouts, royal jelly, bee pollen)

- Avoid as much as possible:

· White sugar and its derivatives

· Processed and chemical foods

· Canned foods and industrial meats

· Dairy products (organic goat milk is OK)

· Alcohol, coffee, soda, syrups

The consumption of meat and animal products, which is one of the most important death factors in western countries, is in direct relationship with most of the sickness of our century (cardio-vascular, cancers, obesity, etc.).

Talking about diet, it is also very important to focus on our Acid/Alkaline balance. Nowadays, because of stress, pollution, junk food habits, etc., the balance that should exist in our body between acid and alkaline substances is broken; our blood PH becomes more and more acid.

The acidification of the blood causes lots of troubles and health problems that most people try to ignore because it seems they (and their doctors) cannot solve them.

Here are some common health problems related to over acidity (mostly caused by food):

· Low energy and fatigue

· Sensitive to cold

· Can’t get enough rest

· Depression

· Inflamed or sensitive gums

· Sensitive teeth to hot and cold

· Loosing hair

· Dry skin; eczema

· Cramps or spasms

· Joint pain

· More sensibility to pain

· Infections and low immune system

Also, when the body is too acid, one put on wait and has terrible time loosing it; the acidity of the blood burns the internal organs, so the body’s only defense is to retain fat to protect the organs again over acidity. Such persons then enter a vicious circle where no matter what diet and what kind of physical exercise, he/she will NOT LOSE FAT.

Food can be divided in two groups: acid and alkaline. Our body needs the two types of food, but one should eat more alkaline food than acid.

The taste is not always a good clue to know how acid an aliment is. For example, lemon taste acid, but once digested, has alkaline residues. Chocolate tastes sweet, but has acid residues, so it is considered acid.
