BASIC PRINCIPLES OF HEALTH

 1 - Regularity in meals. Do not eat them early or late, but maintain a regular schedule. Your stomach is used to eating at certain times each day. 

2 - Moderation. Only eat as much as you need. Never overeat. Only eat to satisfy hunger, and then stop.

 3 - Take small bites. Only put a 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. 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 too many things at a meal. Three or four items (plus a little salt, oil, etc.) are all you need.

 7 - Avoid complicated mixtures. Say no to the gravies, vegetable 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. 

 9 - Vary your diet from meal to meal. If you ate oatmeal this morning, try rye or wheat tomorrow.

 10 - The food should be palatable. But if it is good food, this should not be hard to do. 

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 (water) between meals, not with your meals.

 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 types 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 seaweed) 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 source 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.
