Why This is Not a Fad Diet
Why this
is not a fad diet? Humans have been eating fresh fruit,
vegetables, and nuts 10-50,000 yrs or more b4 we discovered fire, tools
and implement to kill animals.
Eating raw fruits and vegetables
isn’t the new fad diet, or the new South Beach Diet. Believe
it
or not, humans have been eating this way long before they were eating
processed junky foods. We didn’t have access to most types of
foods. We were scavengers, picking fruits and eating
vegetables
were a delicacy. Nuts were also eaten for protein.
It was
either that or starve. Humans ate these fruits as is, no
additives, no cooking. One and a half million years ago we
learned how to cook. So for a half million years we ate the
food
raw, as it was intended. We are the only animals on the
planet
that cook their food. Eating meat doubled the caloric intake
of
man, which made it easier to hunt and have enough energy to do what
needs to be done.
Today, we have access to every type of
food we want at our fingertips. We can order Oolong tea
(which
must be handpicked on cliffs in china) from the internet. You
would think that since we have come this far, we would be super human,
so healthy we would be living 500 years. No so
unfortunately. In fact, in some ways we actually have worse
health now. Some of us are developing cancers at an early
age. Some of us are dying of heart disease or
obesity. We
are not eating correctly. We are stuffing our face with
hydrogenated oils, fake products, high sodium and sugary
foods.
It is simply disgusting. We are gaining weight at an alarming
rate and looking horribly. It shows in the skin, sags of fat,
sluggish attitude, depressed look, lack of sexual drive, etc.
I
wonder how long we would live if we adapted the diet of the
Japanese.
What people need to realize is that eating fat
free or sugar free foods isn’t going to help. It isn’t going
to
help if you stuff your face with snack wells instead of
Oreo’s.
What will help is to completely change what you eat.
Remember,
you are what you eat, so eat the right things and it will show in your
body, mind and spirit...
