One Man's Meat is Another Man's Poison!

We are all different – every one of us is a unique individual. That is why we have such a varied number of diets being proposed. High/Low carb diet, High/Low fat diet, Paleo diet, Raw food diet, Blood type diet, Alkaline diet, etc. etc. And the interesting thing is that every diet suits some people and does not suit others.

Why is that? Because there is no such thing as a bad food per se or good food per se without taking into account a very important factor, who is eating it! Not only who is eating it, but what state that person is it.

 

We all have different heredity and constitution. If your predecessors were Vikings or Eskimos, then chances are that you will generally need to eat lots of fish, meat, and fat. But if your predecessors came from a Mediterranean culture or some tropical area of the world, then you will probably need more carbohydrates in your diet. Ancient Chinese and Ayurvedic medicines try to classify different constitutional types of people, and would not apply diet or herbs without this knowledge, as different constitutional types need very different approaches.

The constitution is just one factor. There are many more.

 

Throughout our lives, our bodies go through anabolic / catabolic cycles, in other words, cycles of building itself up and cleansing itself. There is a daily building / cleansing cycle, a seasonal one and ones which can happen any time. For building itself your body needs very different nutrients from those it uses for cleansing itself such as animal foods are generally building, while plant foods are generally cleansing.

Only your body knows what it needs at every moment of your life.

 

Mother Nature took billions of years to design the human body that is an incredibly intelligent creation. As the natural foods on this planet have been designed during the same time, your inner body intelligence knows their composition and knows what foods to choose for particular needs. All we have to do is treat this intelligence with respect. The food needs to be homemade from fresh natural ingredients. Use your senses of smell, taste, desire for food and satisfaction from eating it to guide you in your decisions: when to eat, what foods to eat and in what combinations. This means that our nutritional needs changes and so can the way we eat. Your ego should never stand in the way of your body’s natural intelligence.
