It's believed that the most valuable food that can enter the body is fruit, because it contains an ideal balance of five essential elements that are essential for our bodies: glucose (90%), amino acids (4-5%), minerals ( 3-4%), oily acids ( 1% ) and vitamins ( till1% ).
In addition, the fruit, for its digestion does not require additional energy, which means that the fruit is saving energy, and with that helps the body to digest the fruit faster and with no extra processes, that do not fill up the body with toxins, and its helps the body for better detoxication. It also has the ability to neutralize harmful acids that are formed in biological systems. When we speak about the fruit, that means the fresh fruit from the fresh market, because, due to its delicate nature, cooked and processed fruit completely loses the afore mentioned properties and leads to increased toxicity and acidity of the body. Because of the high water content, fresh tomato and cucumber can be combined with the fruit and can be taken during the period of assimilation and elimination.
Before a meal, the recommended time for intake of fruits and juices is at least 30 minutes before the main meal (never directly after a meal), so the fruits and the food from the main meal do not mix in the stomach. When we are mixing the food with the fruit, it leads to fermentation, in which process our body is losing nutrients, and also hinders digestion and slows down all the processes of absorption. After we have taken the fruit, the best for our body is to take a cocktail of juices from fresh vegetables - carrots, beets, parsley, celery, cabbage, cauliflower, kohlrabi, a small piece of raw potato (especially important not to combine it with fruit). 10 minutes after taking the juice, we can take a fresh salad, and then properly combined meal. Improper food combining can cause improper cycle of assimilation and elimination. When food is properly combined, the organism, can completely process, absorb and utilize all the nutrients from the meal.
Any other food that is not in a group of fruits or vegetables is called concentrated food. Concentrated foods should not be taken at the same time with the fruits or vegetables, because it disrupt digestion. For example: bread (preferably like toast and made from whole grains) can not becombined with potatoes, rice, beans, peas, green beans, pasta, eggs, milk and cheese. This ingredients should not be mixed together. Each of these ingredients can be combinedwith fat (g-refined butter, cold pressed oils, butter, butter from the seeds, sunflower,pumpkin, sesame, peanuts) and raw or boiled vegetables (salads, stews). It is recommended to replace vinegar with lemon juice or apple and other fruit vinegar.
Taking nuts (almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts, peanuts, cashews) and seeds (sesame,pumpkin, sunflower, flax, chickpea, apricot, pine seeds) is very important in the proper and healthy diet. This food is very rich in minerals, vitamins, carbohydrates, proteins and fats, and it is enough if we consume it two to three times per week, for about half a cup in quantity. For example: 100 g of sesame seeds contains 630 mg calcium, 282 mg of almonds, walnuts 186 mg and 140 mg sunflower. At the same time 100 g of milk contains 100 mg, andvarious cheeses 250-850 mg, and parsley 245 mg of calcium.
Acceptance of these principles, in particular, their practical application, for an a employed people is hard, but not impossible. It is hard to change anything because of the long-standing habits and the functioning and the views of the whole social system on feeding, and it is difficult to make a significant changes in the diet of the people. For most of the people, change in feeding habits is usually mainly forced by health problems - especially when the medicine is powerless. So to help them selfs, they are looking in the natural way of treatment, in what we are calling an alternative medicine. However, with good will and persistence, especially in the initial period of the organization and preparation of healthy foods, you will get with remarkable results. For the starters, it is recommended that they need to try with the changes during the weekend, when they can spend more time preparing food, when they are relaxed and happy, and when they are not pressed by the clock and their obligations.
The changes must be on all the levels of the person, if we like to make some changes in our lives, and to give us some quality. If change only our feeding habits, when all the problems are gone, if we are not changed, we slowly begin to go beck on our old habits, and we are risking that old condition to recur, in more stronger form from the last condition that we had, and more dangerously for us.
The goal of transition to this diet is the consumption of raw foods, which allows the creation of large amounts of energy in the body. Processed food like cooked, roasted, baked, etc.. loses its natural properties and require larger amounts of food to meet the daily needs.
Try something new and unusual, you will certainly like it, at least partially (if not entirely), because the effects are visible only after one week: you are going to fell lighter, brighter, more dynamic and creative. Once you establish a system of using a raw, fresh and properly combined food, you'll notice a great saving in time required to prepare the food, and that your body will reduce the amount of food that you are going to intake.
