Can
Foods Heal? Does what we eat really affect the way we feel
and function?
"Yes!",
say many of America's most respected medical scientists from
among such esteemed institutions as the Harvard School of
Public Health and the Rockefeller Foundation in New York.
In
Foods That Heal, Dr. Bernard Jensen wrote:
"From the time of Hippocrates, it has been known that
certain foods have disease-preventing and disease-healing
benefits. Yet, for some reason this knowledge has remained
one of history's best kept secrets - until its resurgence
in very recent years."
Food
is one of our most important daily needs.
It provides energy necessary for work and play. The amount
of energy in your body determines the status of your health.
So
marvelous is the gift of health that everyone should try by
every means within his or her power to secure it. All living
things - people, animals and pants - need food to live and
grow. Humans have now evolved to a point of enjoying a profound
intelligence and realize that we are God's highest creation,
empowered with dominion over the lower forms of life.
Yet
this "highest" creation is suffering from dreaded
disease and all the ills that can befall the human body, while
the lower, the animal life, still abounds in strength and
vitality.
No
ancient king had the variety of foods that are available to
today's household. As the world population grew, the necessity
for mass production has changed our foods. Preservatives of
many kinds became necessary to maintain the "life"
of the food for weeks and months. It is difficult to deny
that once-fresh foods, after transfer from farm to market
- though edible - have been changed to a debilitated form.
Could
this be why the health of the richest nation on earth has
been relegated to a health rating lower than even some poor
countries?
In
1977 a Select Committee on Nutrition and Human Needs was formed
in the U.S. Senate to point out that America's standard diet
represents as critical a public health concern as any now
before us.
A
committee member stated that indeed, the public is confused
about what to eat to maximize health. And today, they still
are as confused as ever, since dreaded cancers continue to
overtake equally dreadful heart conditions.
In
Mrs. Hsu's Food Combining Cook-Book, she attempts to explain
that there is no mystery about proper eating. The reasons
for combining foods in certain ways is just common sense once
you understand them.
