Change your Diet for Healthy Blood Pressure and Avoid Heart Disease
Educational Tidbit on Diet from the 80’sHarvey and Marilyn Diamond introduced the “Fit for Life” diet back in the 1980’s. I was introduced to it much later, a few years ago, during a cleanse at a retreat center. I like the diet, basically, and feel good on it but just don’t like being restricted to one way of eating all the time.
Benefits of the Fit for Life diet include more energy, better digestion and better looking skin.
You can buy the book by that title, which tells all about it, or research
online but basically, the important part is to eat nothing but fruit
before 12 pm, don’t eat fruit with other types of food, eat veggies
only for lunch and then save heavier foods like grains and meat
for later in the day, closer to bedtime.
am - Fruit
noon -Veggies
evening meal - Grains and Meat
The rationale is that our body should eat easy to digest foods during the hours we are most active (for most of us, the daytime hours) and eat the more dense foods as we are winding down for the day.
Most fruit digests within 20-30 minutes if not combined with other foods but will putrify if eaten with other foods so best eaten alone.
Of course, the details of the diet are more involved than what I’ve covered. This is just a tad of information for those who might have better eating as one of their goals for the new year. This might be a way to start, by exploring nutritional programs such as Fit For Life.
