Diet is an essential key to healing and development. And it’s difficult to avoid the fundamental truth that for a development program to provide real healing and effect the sort of improvements that go even beyond healing, then a change of diet will be necessary.
Taking the correct supplements will obviously help a great deal and bring the necessary minerals and support as your body heals. But ultimately the body will create the perfect form of each mineral for its enzyme-binding sites by obtaining these from the correct foods, and in particular the correct vegetables that need to be eaten daily. In this sense supplements act as a crutch to balance the oxidation rate and adjust mineral ratios, while the body slowly eliminates toxic minerals and chemicals and transmutes minerals in their ideal form in order to initiate the replenishment process.
You can find all the necessary dietary details on completebodyhealing.com but this article is more a practical guide to making the shift towards better eating habits.
The way to start is to focus on vegetables in the proper quantities. If they are hard for some to eat, they can be made in a curry sauce or mixed with some almond butter — it might seem like a chore but it soon becomes easy and eventually a pleasure.
The next practical step is the gradual elimination from your diet of junk food, especially sugar. You can read the adverse effects of sugar consumption by clicking here and if you do so you will be quite shocked at just how negatively sugar affects your health. It’s said that when you give up sugar you will find it extremely difficult for a few days, then it will get a little easier and finally three weeks later you will wonder why you ever ate it in the first place. This is exactly how it was for me. I recently saw on a YouTube video an Australian lady who was in her 70s but looked to be in her mid-40s. She attributed the secret of her unusually youthful look to giving up sugar in her 40s and when you looked at her ‘then and now’ photos she hadn’t really aged much. I was frankly not surprised. I expect she had most likely also combined living sugar-free with a very good diet. If she had been following a development program on top of her very healthy
life style I truly wonder how far she could have gone with regards to health, longevity and beyond that, regeneration. Giving up or at least cutting down on sugar is a huge factor for great health.
As it’s quite a challenge for many people who have been eating a low-quality diet for a long time to change to a healthy one, I often recommend following a really good diet for 5 or 6 days a week and then having a day off where you can eat whatever takes your fancy (within reason). It gives you something to look forward to, and when you complete 5 days of healthy eating it will give you a boost and provide some much-needed self-motivation. Eventually you will need those ‘cheat’ days less and less and eating healthily every day will become a rewarding and enjoyable part of life. That’s when the benefits of improving health will far outgrow the short-term satisfaction of eating low-quality or sugary food. The empowering aspect of regaining control of your health and enhancing it beyond healing is a wonderful and rewarding experience.
