Lifestyle Eating Plan

The aim is to get at least 10 cups of raw vegetables into your body per day. There is no limit on the number of vegetables that you can take in per day. The more fruit and vegetables you have the more nutrients your body will be able to use to heal itself and fight off health issues. When your body is short of nutritious substances then it will be weakened and unable to perform the necessary functions such as healing.

Organic is best wherever possible.
Organic is best. Imagine if someone sprayed your food with Doom or Baygon and asked you to eat it. No one in their right mind would eat it. The crazy thing is that we eat commercially grown ‘food’ from supermarkets that have been treated with pesticides and other toxic chemicals and then eat them. When commercial fertilizers are used, they decrease the number of worms and affect the microbiome of the soil. When the microbiome has been damaged the mulch is no longer made, this mulch is necessary for the plants to absorb nutrients. Unfortunately, this means that commercially grown plants are lacking in nutrients and have toxic residues on and in them. A study done during the 1940’s showed that 100g of spinach contained 152mg of iron. Today even though spinach looks good and healthy 100g only contains 2 mg of iron. The toxic load in and on non-organic food is making us sick. It is best to wash all our vegetables and fruit in a weak solution of hydrogen peroxide. That said, if you cannot obtain or afford organic produce it is better to eat non organic food than nothing at all.

Fruit and Vegetables
The idea is to focus more on vegetables than fruit. Both fruit and vegetables contain phytonutrients, in general fruit contains more sugar. It is best to restrict your fruit to 30% of your total fruit and vegetables.

Diabetics
If you are diabetic your diet should consist of no more than 20% fruit and 80% vegetables.

Intermittent Fasting
Your health can be enhanced by eating for shorter periods during the day. Some recommend that you should fast for up to 16 hours per day. Unfortunately, studies show that fasting for such long periods causes gall stones.

We recommend that you fast for 12 hours per day and eat your meals during the other 12 hours.

Fasting
A 3 to 5 day fast once per month may reset your immune system clearing allergies and other autoimmune issues. The good thing is that Prof. Valter Longo has shown that you can cut back your calorie intake to below 1200 and above 700 for the 5-day period. He calls this a Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD. Studies show that you have the same benefits doing the FMD as a water fast.  A five day fast must always be undertaken under the supervision of a knowledgeable person.
