Education in health principles was never more needed than now. Notwithstanding the wonderful progress in so many lines relating to the comforts and conveniences of life, even to sanitary matters and to the treatment of disease, the decline in physical vigor and power of endurance is alarming. It demands the attention of all who have at heart the well-being of their fellow men. I have here 17 guidelines to proper habit in eating to gain a better health.
2. Moderation. Only eat as much as you need. Never over eat. Eat only to satisfy hunger.
3. Take small bites. Only put an small amount in your mouth at a time. You will chew and salivate it better, and tend to eat less at that meal.
4. Relax and eat slowly. If you are too rushed to eat, then do not eat or eat a little only. Do not be hurried, anxious, worried, fatigued, or angry.
5. Chew your food well. you will derive far more energy out of less food, if you do this.
6. Do not eat to many things at meal. Three or four items are all you need.
7. Avoid complicated mixtures. Say no to the gravies, vegetables loaves, gluten foods, and all the rest. keep your meal simple.
8. Avoid peculiar additives, such as vinegar,monosodium glutamate, etc., which only upset your stomach and slow digestion.
10. The food should be palatable. This promote joy in eating, an emotion that boost health condition.
11. Never eat anything prepared in aluminum. Never drink water or juice out of an aluminum container. Alzheimer's is worth avoiding.
12. Aside from fresh, raw juices or the green drink, drink all your liquids between meals, not with your meals. It hinders good digestion.
13. As a rule, eat your fruits at one meal and vegetables at another. Acid fruits (such as citrus) can be eaten with either.
14. Greens have more compacted vitamins and minerals than other type of food. They only lack vitamin D, which the body can get from sunlight. But they do not have adequate amounts of trace minerals.
15. Nova Scotia dulse and Norwegian kelp (two types of seaweeds) are the only rich source of trace minerals.
16. Blackstrap molasses is the only very rich source of iron. It is also a very rich sources of choline and inositol, the two B vitamins used in the largest quantities.
17. The best pattern is to rest before the meal and walk around after it, not vice versa.
A famous health author and adviser in the 19th-century states,
Those who understand the laws of health and who are governed by principle will shun the extremes both of indulgence and of restriction. Their diet is chosen, not for the mere gratification of appetite, but for the upbuilding of the body. They seek to preserve every power in the best condition for highest service to God and man. The appetite is under the control of reason and conscience, and they are rewarded with health of body and mind. --Ministry of Healing 319 (1905).
