Our bodies are built up from the food
we eat, therefore, those foods
should be chosen that best supply
the elements needed for building up
the body.
“You are what you eat”
So... what should be eaten?
Tongue alerts stomach - volume, composition
SN11-26-94
The bigger the meal the faster the pulse and
the less blood flow in legs
BrJ.Nutr71:835’94
A 15-year LLU study revealed lower mental
function in elderly eating bigger meals
AmJ.Ep.6-15-96
 Sri Lankans overeat, productivity low

Overeating reduces the sensitivity of insulin
Regular Mealtime Has Benefits
• Better control of food intake
• Greater sensitivity to insulin
• Less high blood sugar swing

STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT A VEGETARIAN DIET IS
THE LEAST DANGEROUS AND MOST LIKELY DIET TO
PROMOTE LONGEVITY.
“...there is now an overwhelming scientific and
medical case for avoiding the consumption of
meat and meat products despite the
government’s attempts to persuade us
otherwise.”--Dr. Richard Lacey, prominent microbiologist
and BSE researcher
Meat eaters must be instructed in
how to make sure their food is
safe
Vegetarians can eat bountifully
without worry
To be as strong as an ox, eat what
the ox eats, not the ox!
Simple Instructions on Eating
•Grains, fruits, nuts & vegetables, in as
simple a manner as possible
•Eat only what is sufficient
•Breakfast like a king
lunch like a prince
supper like a pauper (if at all)
•Two meals are better than three
Some Things to Remember...
• Exercise after a
meal
• not violent or
heavy
• not the time to
study
• Don’t worry!
• Eat on a regular
schedule
• Plenty of fiber
• Stay away from
fresh bread
• Get other food as
fresh as possible

• High temperature grilling and

produce carcinogenic PAH’s on

Highest cancer rates are in dairy farmers &
poultry farmers who market eggs.

1975 - Seven in ten cartons had cancer virus
More than 30 human diseases traced to milk
• Eggs

Ovarian Cancer
Avoid dairy foods [galactose irritates the ovary and is
preformed in yogurt, buttermilk, cottage and cream cheeses]
Avoid coffee, tea, colas and chocolate
[methylxanthines - caffeine, theophylin, theobromine and other
alkaloids are the offenders]
Avoid tobacco, even second-hand smoke
Avoid alcohol
Avoid long term use of hormones
Live by all the natural laws of health [exercise,
diet, fresh air, water, sunshine, regular habits, rest, trust in divine
power]
