Naturally Healthful Eating Guidelines

for optimum digestion, health & longevity

From Living Nutrition vol. 5

• Eat only if you are hungry.
• Exercise to create true hunger, especially before breakfast.
• Do not eat when tired or emotionally upset.
• Drink one or more glasses of purified water before breakfast.
• Biologically, we are frugivores. Fruit is our natural and most healthful food. A diet of 50% to 95% fruit is recommended.
• Fashion a raw food diet with 75% to 90% sweet fruits.
• Include plenty of cucumbers, tomatoes (both are botanically classified as fruits) and leafy greens in your diet.
• The most healthful food choices are raw/living fruits, vegetables and sprouts with minimal amounts of seeds, and nuts, all fresh from the orchard and garden.
• Eat fruit for breakfast.
• Sniff your food before eating. If the sensation is pleasurable, you are ready to eat; if you do not receive a pleasurable sensation, that food will generally not be nourishing for you at that time — try other foods or inquire into whether you are truly hungry.
• Eat only fresh food that tastes delicious.
• Do not drink more than a few sips of juices or water when eating solid food.
• Chew your food slowly and well. Mix the food with your saliva. Chew solid food until thoroughly liquefied.
• While eating, if the experience or food becomes unappealing or you feel satisfied, stop eating; do not overeat.
• Follow food combining guidelines to a “t.”
