Whole grains in breads, flour, and pastries contain all the natural nourishment
of the grain. White flour is stripped of its food value when it is bleached.
Sugar gives a burst of energy to the nervous system and then it takes a long
time to replenish the energy. The result is quick up and long down.
Dairy products have a congestive effect. They are mucus forming, which
means they produce a substance to coat and protect areas of the body. This mucus
layer can be useful in keeping the body warm in winter, but may be unnecessary in
the warmer seasons. Pay attention to what dairy products do for you.
A balanced diet contains a little bit of every food group. Don’t forget fresh
fruits and vegetables. They are an excellent source of vitamins and minerals which
are absolutely necessary for the proper functioning of your body.
Some of the most nutritious foods of all are little known in our society. They
include nutritional yeast, soy beans, miso, bean curd, sprouts, and seaweed. Consult
your health food store for information as to their applications and benefits.
Most important, remember everybody is different. So eat what feels good to
you, not what you think, read, or hear should be good. Learn to trust your healthy
self.
Before you eat, first consider whether or not you are hungry. If you are not hun-
gry, chances are that your body does not need any food – don’t waste your time eat-
ing. If you are hungry, determine how much food it will take to satisfy your hunger.
You must develop the ability to eat only until you know that you are no longer hun-
gry. In short, as you eat, “think healthy” and ask yourself if you really need that food.
Include a program for food health in your life and you will notice differences in
your being that affect work. You’ll be more aware of what’s going on around you.
You’ll have a more consistent level of energy as you go through the day. You’ll have
a greater sense of control over your life and more confidence in your work. You’ll be
able to concentrate on those intellectual activities that will help you cope with the
stresses of your job.
One more general thought. Use your time advantageously. “Balance” is all im-
portant. Balance work and relaxation for a truly healthier, less stressful life.
