Gohan (Diet and Nutrition)
According to Professor Hatsumi our nutrition can be defined in three parts, 'Eat, Absorb, Expel'(1). By this he means eat natural, fresh and unaltered foods (organic if possible), absorb the nutrients from the foods and then expel the waste products. Sadly many modern diets contain altered foods (low fat, refined, food preservatives etc), lack their normal nutrients and have been kept artificially.
Our digestive systems are often overloaded with additives, making them resemble cess pits rather than digestive systems, which affects the absorption of essential nutrients.
As Professor Hatsumi says "The waste that modern people expel is often so toxic it will kill plants"(2), which reflects the food we eat. The following are recommended foods. If you do not obtain them in your diet consider supplemetation, but it is better to eat the foods themselves.
- Fresh fruits - Apple, Banana, Pear, Orange, Peach, Kiwi Fruit, Melon, Grapes, Plum etc.
- Porridge oats cooked with water or goats milk.
- Grilled or poached fish and oily fish.
- Brown rice, barley and poultice plants.
- Whole meal (Buckwheat) pasta.
- Fresh vegetables - Carrots, Beans, Celery, Peas, Broccoli etc.
- Free range eggs.
- Nuts, seeds and grains.
- Water, water and more water.
You should avoid sugar, table salt, artificial sweeteners, fizzy drinks, coffee, chocolate, cakes, biscuits, baked beans, cordials, many fruit juices, bread, fried foods, altered foods, cereals, ready meals, pre-packed foods and junk food. All of these foods affect our digestive system, stimulate our adrenal glands (which are already overloaded by modern life), effect our ileocecol valve and deplete us of nutrients.
