Truths about Oily Foods, Protein, Calcium, Diets…

Oily Foods:
We all need oil, but it needs to be fresh, vegetable quality oil, without pesticides, well cooked, and in moderate amounts. Best oils are sesame, sunflower, safflower and olive. Frying animal foods such as beef, chicken, pork, and cheese in more oil makes no sense, particularly in the summer months. Fried, and even deep-fried vegetables can be very satisfying, nourishing, and mood-enhancing. Eating a pickle or a green apple afterwards activates digestion nicely.

Protein:
In the U.S., virtually nobody has a protein deficiency. In fact, about 90% of get too much protein, which explains our growing problems of obesity, violence, heart disease and cancer. Proteins are powerful, but extreme power leads to problems. There is plenty of protein in grains and beans, and some protein in vegetables. This is where we ought to focus our attention.

Calcium:
Did you know that chick peas and kale have more calcium than milk? The calcium in milk is not well-absorbed by the body, due to its high fat, bacteria and protein levels. But calcium is generally a problem not from a lack of nourishment, but rather because of depletion from our bones, which comes as a result of the blood needing to buffer our acid diet. This is caused by eating too many animal foods, and acidic foods such as nightshade vegetables, chocolate, soda and coffee.

Diets:
Diets generally don’t work, because they are unsustainable. It’s better to give your body a healthy diet and slowly become the person you want to be, while enjoying what you eat. If you want to lose weight, simply eat lower fat foods, less of them, and chew more, along with increasing your exercise. Diet foods and drugs generally do more harm than good, and waste your money.
