BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE AIROLA DIET: ONLY NATURAL AND POISON-FREE FOODS
Posted on June 3, 2010, under General health.
Eat only natural foods
Your foods should be whole, unprocessed and unrefined, and be organically grown in fertile soil. They should be preferably grown in your own environment, and eaten in their season.
That your health and longevity are in a direct relationship to the naturalness of the foods you eat is a well-established scientific fact. Where natives eat a diet of natural, whole, unprocessed and unrefined foods, they enjoy perfect health, absence of disease and long life. When denatured, refined, processed, man-made foods, such as white sugar and white flour, and canned and processed foods enter into their lives, disease becomes rampant among them.
Natural foods are foods that are grown in fertile soils without chemical fertilizers and sprays and are consumed in their natural state, with all the nutrients nature put in them intact, nothing removed and nothing added. White bread is, for example, a denatured food, from which most vital nutrients have been removed; the so-called “enrichment” is a hoax — only 4 nutrients are returned, while over 20 vital nutrients are removed in refining the flour. Breakfast cereals are all denatured foods with some “added features” — toxic preservatives and health-destroying white sugar. Supermarket quality eggs are not natural food; they are produced by cooped-up chickens, without a rooster (thus infertile), which are fed chemicalized commercial mash. Such eggs have a lower nutritional value, less vitamins and more cholesterol than natural eggs.
Organically grown fruits and vegetables contain more vitamins and minerals, as has been shown in many tests. They also contain more enzymes than the produce grown on depleted, chemically fertilized soils. Such foods have greater a health-building and disease-preventive potential. Researches reported recently that “Anti-malignancy factors are apparently present in organically grown foods”.
These are only a few examples to show that only natural foods can produce optimum health and prevent disease. Synthetic, denatured and devitalized foods will not sustain health, but will inevitably bring about a gradual degeneration of normal body functions and, ultimately, disease.
It is of specific importance to see that all foods are natural when planning a therapeutic diet for treatment of disease. Only natural, whole, unprocessed and organically grown foods possess therapeutic value.
Eat only poison-free foods
Your food should be grown without the aid of chemical fertilizers and should contain no residues of toxic insecticides, chemical additives or preservatives.
Almost all food sold at supermarkets today contains some chemicals, either used in food producing or added during food processing or packing. Many of the poisons in fruits or vegetables are systemic, that is, they cannot be washed out or peeled out, as they penetrate the whole fruit. The only solution seems to be to grow your own food, or buy the certified organically grown food. And, of course, to avoid eating all processed and packaged foods, which contain the most chemicals.
