Nutrition
Everything I have to say will be consistent with what I have learned
from the Bible, and with my
best understanding of current nutritional research. Although I am
not a physician nor a certified nutritionist, I have greatly enhanced
my wellness by following what I have learned by extensive
study. A few selected references are listed on the Authorities page.
No matter
what your wellness concern, it is likely to be improved by proper
nutrition. For an overall perspective, see the Wheel of Wellness also.
From the consistent teaching of the Authorities,
I strongly encourage everyone to adopt a whole foods, plant-based
diet. Dr. Colin Campbell found animal protein to be the switch
that turns cancer on (and lack of it turns cancer off!). Further,
in decades of research, he found that the less animal products one
consumes, the better the prospect for wellness. Dr. Dean Ornish
found that a diet low in meat and fat was very beneficial to those with
heart disease. Also, the trend toward perpared food has adversely
affected the wellness of western society; the less processing our food
gets, the better its nutritive value. The typical western diet
includes about 42% fat (mostly animal fat), far above the 30% in the
"Recommended Dietary Goals for the U.S.", and even farther above the
12% fat in the macrobiotic diet. Which provides the best
wellness? Without question, people on the macrobiotic or
Hallelujah diet have wellness far better than the typical consumer
of the western diet.
I personally have adapted the Hallelujah Diet as my guide for
eating. If I had known about macrobiotics sooner, I might have
tried it instead; they appear to be comparable in terms of
effectiveness. I am not aware of any detailed comparisons, nor of
anyone who switched from one to the other and found better
wellness. There are countless witnesses to the wellness benefit
of changing from the typical western diet to either Hallelujah Diet or
macrobiotics.
I also strongly encourage the avoidance of manufactured
beverages. Many contain sugar in quantities that are far in
excess of what the body can deal with, contributing to our epidemic of
obesity and diabetes. Diet beverages are even worse; not only is
Aspartame (Nutrasweet),
the most common sugar substitute, poison, but also the demonstrated
effect of diet
beverages is to induce the body to consume more sweets. The
proven effect of diet beverages is continual weight gain; don't take my
word for it -- research it for yourself.
The beverage of choice at my table (whether at home or away) is Wellness Water. It hydrates far better
than other waters on the market: it has been filtered to remove
objectionable materials, and it has been enhanced to provide the
properties that hydrate better.
