Whether at a seminar, a small group presentation, or when meeting new people, I often get the question, “What are we supposed to eat?” Because I tell them that just about everything that they consume is not good for them, they assume that there is nothing else available for them to eat. They quickly get on the defensive and make other famous remarks such as, “Maybe we should stop eating.” The reply to this statement is “There are thousands of fruits and vegetables to eat; why don’t you eat some of them?”

It is interesting that we do not see cancer in nature, or we do not see disease in nature, unless nature is in captivity under the supervision of humans; this is because humans change their diet and lifestyle from the original diet millions of years ago. This is the same reason that humans are getting these very diseases. We are also nature in captivity; we are in the captivity of: modern society, culture, and religion.

We are animals of the Earth. In the beginning, we were not born in hospitals, we were born under the sun and trees. Animals today are still born or hatched in the wild, and they do not need vaccines, drugs, doctors, or anything else of that nature. They were designed to have birth on their own and have everything they need to accomplish this; we humans are no different.

We were designed to eat certain things, and these things are available to be eaten with ease to our digestive system. We all know what all the other animals on the Earth were meant to eat, but there are so many opinions on the diet of a human; we know nothing about what humans were meant to eat. This is such an insult to our own intelligence. How can we call ourselves the smartest species? Animals are so in touch with their six sense and instinct; we on the other hand, do not have a clue that we can possess this gifts.

To answer the question of what we can eat, general headings will be used. The list of food we can eat is so long no one could eat all of it in one day or even one week.

Fruit

You can eat any fruit you want, and there are many. To give you a brief idea, there are at least 2ooo types of fruit. The west has access to about 10 percent.  You can eat as much fruit as you would like; the only side effect is a strong immune system and a balanced mind and body. Of course, it is not such a good idea to eat the fatty fruits (Durian and avocado) all day long; fat is still a minimal requirement for the human body.

Vegetables

From our research, the best vegetables, which are the easiest to digest and give us the salts (minerals) we need the most include: celery, tomatoes, all varieties of leafy greens, colored variety of capsicum peppers, and cucumbers . Of course eating them raw is preferred as well as organic – why would anyone want to eat fake vegetables (GMO, GME)?

Nuts

There are a large number of nuts available to eat. However, they should also be eaten raw and organic, meaning off the tree. Organic is a must here because they are very good at absorbing that they are frequently used to clean the soil, which have been destroyed by pesticides that were previously sprayed on the land from previous farming. Purchased from a store in a bag is not considered raw. Keep these to a minimum because of their fat content, and the fact that they are not in season long – meaning that we are not to eat them often. That is a message from nature. May people consume nuts during the nut season, which only last a few weeks in a year. If you cannot get them raw and fresh from a tree, do not bother.

Seeds

Seeds are bird food. They contain enzyme inhibitors, which cause a whole bunch of health problems. We need enzymes not enzyme inhibiting food. Raw or not, if food cannot be properly digested, they should not be eaten.

Liquid Consumption

Water comes in perfect form from fruits and vegetables. Water from a spring is the best; if you do not have access to natures supply of water, buy an atmospheric water generator, so that you know your water is clean. The more filtering procedures the better when it comes to atmospheric water. The atmosphere is full of toxins thanks to factories and modern technology.

Children

Children should drink mother’s milk until they let you know they do not want it anymore. Just because they chew on your house keys that does not mean they want solid food; it means that they are orally exploring as a famous psychologist once said. When they start to grow teeth, this is a sign from nature telling the parent that it is time to explore with solids. The only food their delicate bodies can digest in the beginning are mushed up fruit and nothing else; coconut water could also be introduced in the beginning (not the coconut meat). This could go on for up to about 3-5 years. This process must be done as gradual as possible. Children need to be listened to; they know more than parents when it come to feeding them.

Human’s natural food source

The human’s natural food supply is so easy. Pick it and eat it. It does not get much easier than that. Very little preparation and clean up is involved. It is the real definition of fast food. Have you ever timed yourself when pealing and eating a banana? With the mention of the peal, we bring up the environmental issues. The peal of a fruit goes back into nature without damaging it. No oil or energy is used to prepare it. These are topics which must be considered also important.
