HEALTH PRINCIPLES TO FOLLOW
****************************
How many times have you heard this one? "Eat the right foods."
Well, this book is no exception.
Herbs do have a marvelous healing power, if they have some help.
They are not miracle drugs which will fix everything by themselves.
Our bodies ability to heal itself, with help at times, is
extraordinary!
The combination of our bodies' marvelous regenerative powers coupled
with the healing power of herbs can return us to glowing health, but
all would be futile if we continued to deliberately mistreat our
bodies.
Eating is as much a way of medication to the body as any other
medicine is. Food sometimes takes longer to affect the body,
sometimes it has an immediate effect, nevertheless, it always affects
us.
A general rule of thumb is: Eat as much partially cooked or raw
vegetables as possible. Avoid white sugar products. Cut down on
fats and oils. Use alcohol (if any) moderately.
The following is a list of DESIRABLE FOODS:
1. All Garden Vegetables (in order of desirability, fresh,
or canned)
Asparagus Tomato Potatoes Celery
Squash Cauliflower Garbanzos Broccoli
Cabbage Carrots Parsley Lettuce
Corn String Beans Rutabaga Peas
Yams Parsnips Chard Sprouts
2. Protein Dishes (beef, veal, lamb, venison, elk, buffalo,
fish, chicken, cheese).
Meats should be broiled, the cheese unprocessed.
3. Dairy foods--Buttermilk, Yogurt, Cottage cheese.
4. Fruits, Fruit Juices, Vegetable Juices.
5. Nuts and Seeds.
6. Dietary Fiber--Wheat Bran, Rice Bran, Oatmeal, Pectin.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Good dietary habits will go a long way in maintaining good health.
It isn't always easy to develop good habits, but the effort is worth
it.
In the HERBAL CATALOG at the Main Menu you will find many herbs which
are good for taking regularly for maintaining good or improved
health. These, along with good dietary habits will help you to live
life to it's fullest!
