DIETARY RECOMMENDATIONS

The food we eat has the same function for humans as fuel for a car. If we eat healthy and balanced food, our body will work well. But if we eat food that burdens the body, then we become weak and we are likely more exposed to diseases.

I definitely recommend eating a whole plant-based diet, that is, food WITHOUT animal protein, which includes fruits, vegetables, starchy foods, legumes, nuts, seeds and fungi – mushrooms or algae. Herbs and spices are also important, which not only add flavor, but also contain many nutrients and other substances. I emphasize that it’s not just some kind of diet, but a way of life.

Changing your diet and lifestyle is not easy. At the beginning, the body must be physiologically cleansed (I had rashes on my abdomen) and get rid of accumulated waste materials. Due to the change in diet, we can initially expect headache, dizziness, nausea and also changes in digestion, but after a few days we feel better every day. The body has an incredible ability to heal itself, but only if we take into account a diet that is the most appropriate, optimal and harmless for humans.

The nutritional recommendations presented below should serve as a starting point:

The basic nutrients that are important for our organism are carbohydrates, fats and proteins.

PROTEIN

Humans do not need animal protein. Proteins that are heated above 40°C (104°F) become “dead”. These are then broken down into dead amino acids, which the human body cannot re-incorporate into cells. The presence of an excessive number of amino acids obtained from animal proteins destroys the balance between acids and bases, causing improper metabolism. Our body system always strives to provide balance between acidity and basicity.

With a complete plant-based diet, we eat from 5-20% protein daily, which is enough for our body.

FATS

Fats are important for energy storage and for sex hormones. They contain soluble vitamins A, D, E, K and omega 3, 6, 9 fatty acids. Without healthy fats, there is no hormonal balance, and they are also necessary for healthy brain function. The myth that increasing fat will make us fat is false. This is only true if our diet consists of a ”modern diet” (fast food) that contains a lot of trans fats (all fat produced above 130°C or 266°F) and carbohydrates, which is not the case for healthy fats (nuts, cold pressed oils). Fats are never overheated, because this creates trans fats, which take all the good things out of our body.

CARBOHYDRATES

Carbohydrates satisfy around 60-70% of our daily energy that we need. If they were eliminated from the diet, it would be difficult to meet the body’s energy needs. Carbohydrates include cereals, porridge, pasta (without eggs), etc.

HOW DO WE EAT?

• We eat simply and quantitatively less,
• for easier digestion and metabolism, take time and chew food well,
• we eat only those meals that we need in accordance with the needs of the body,
• the last meal should be no later than 6 p.m.

WHAT KIND OF FOOD DO WE EAT?

• As liquid as possible (vegetable soups, etc.),
• if we have problems with digestion, we eat all vegetables and fruits cooked, we do not eat raw fruits and vegetables. We avoid all legumes,
• we eat cereals, porridges, pasta, which we combine with all kinds of vegetables,
• desserts, without eggs and milk,
• we mainly eat seasonally,
• food is cooked or baked in the oven without heating the fats,
• we enjoy hot drinks, even in summer. When we lack energy, we lack heat.

HOW TO START THE DAY HEALTHY?

• We don’t rush in the morning,
• when we get up, drink 2-3 dcl of warm water to wash away substances that have accumulated overnight,
• we take at least 10 minutes for ourselves, stretch or read a few pages of a book,
• in the morning, drink pure lemon juice or cucumber or green pepper juice (this juice is an excellent cleanser of toxins from the body).

For additional research, I suggest an excellent book/research, which I will also describe in the future.
