1. CONSCIOUS EATING

$e conscio#s eatin (8) met$od is one of t$e most efficient wa*s

for +eo+-e as+irin to non!eatin. 8 ives *o#r bod* e6act-* w$at it

needs (rea- bod* needs) in ri$t :#antit* and at t$e ri$t time.;ere is $ow to do it ste+ b* ste+. w$at

is it?@. Now, < t$e answer, do not ;INA abo#t t$e reason,

beca#se *o# need to fee- it. $e more fee-in t$ere is and t$e -ess

inte--ect#a- +rocess $a++ens, t$e more 8onscio#sness is

manifestin itse-f. $e t$inin +rocess (inte--ect, t$e conscio#smind activit*) is a sma--er, more -imited s+$ere of 8onscio#sness.

$e $#man needs to transcend it in order to better #nderstand t$e

mind and t$e bod*. So fee- t$e answer. It is +ossib-e t$at at t$is

+oint t$e $#ner wi-- vanis$ and ... we--, in s#c$ a case t$is is t$e

end of 8.

not$er +ossibi-it* is t$at a +ict#re or emotion wi-- emere,

beca#se b-oced emotions, t$o#$ts, t$inin mec$anisms, w$en

t$e* are bein +#s$ed o#t, first are fe-t as $#ner. If t$is is t$e

case and *o# start to eat, t$e* are bein covered wit$ food and +#tbac inside *o#r +s*c$e.

2. Co *o# sti-- fee- $#nr*? Do to t$e ne6t ste+. s *o#rse-f, w$at

it is t$at *o# want to eat. Scan t$ro#$ different foods and fee-

w$at food is most a++ea-in to *o#. ;avin fo#nd it, imaine for

severa- seconds, t$at *o# eat it. Imaine fee-in it in *o#r mo#t$

and stomac$. s *o#rse-f aain% >w$at is it?@, and fee- t$e

answer. If t$e $#ner vanis$es, *o# can sto+ $ere. -so at t$is

moment some +ict#res or sinificant t$o#$ts ma* emere to $e-+*o# #nderstand *o#rse-f more. Immerse *o#rse-f in t$em, -et t$em

2. CHEWING

rom t$e moment w$en man +#ts somet$in into t$eir mo#t$ in

order to eat it, c$ewin becomes t$e most im+ortant t$in. =ro+er

food c$ewin is t$e basic condition to f#-fi- so t$at t$e bod* can treatfood +ro+er-*. Ins#fficient-* c$ewed food, fa--in into t$e stomac$,

$as no c$ance to be treated +ro+er-* b* t$e diestive s*stem, t$#s it

becomes a b#rden J s#c$ food $arms t$e diestive s*stem.

$e stomac$ is an oran w$ic$ constit#tes t$e second -in in t$e

diestive s*stem c$ain of t$e bod*. $e stomac$ is to acce+t matter

w$ic$ is a-read* +ro+er-* +re+ared, t$at is, s#fficient-* cr#mb-ed,

mi6ed wit$ sa-iva and initia--* diested. If an* of t$ese +rocesses isnot +erformed, t$e stomac$ is #nab-e to f#-fi- its wor com+-ete-*.

$en t$is im+ro+er-* +re+ared matter oes from t$e stomac$ into t$e

d#oden#m. $is +rocess contin#es ti-- t$e e6cretion. C#e to t$is

reason, t$e bod* e6cretes matter w$ic$ is not f#--* +rocessed. $e

bod* wo#-d not assimi-ate a-- t$at it co#-d do from t$e eaten food, if

it was not +ro+er-* c$ewed and mi6ed wit$ sa-iva. $is is one of t$e

ca#ses of bod* diseases and aein.

$is sim+-e action of c$ewin $as a $#e im+act on t$e entire bod*.If *o# want to com+are, *o# can easi-* do it. n one da*, swa--ow

*o#r food wit$o#t c$ewin (to t$e e6tent +ossib-e). fter a few da*sK

brea (for bod* recoverin), eat wit$ t$e +ro+er c$ewin. Now, w$en

*o# com+are *o#r $ea-t$, fee-in, and a++earance of t$e bod*

e6cretions, *o# wi-- $ave no do#bts.

$at is t$e +ro+er c$ewin?

Before somet$in is swa--owed, first it $as to be c$ewed in order tobrin it to a ma6im#m -i:#id consistenc* +ossib-e, and it $as to

c$ane t$e taste. or e6am+-e, w$en *o# are eatin bread, before *o#

swa--ow it, *o# need at -east t$ree min#tes of contin#o#s c$ewin, so

t$at t$e bread bite c$anes into a -i:#id (-i:#id mas$, $eteroeneo#s

s#s+ension in t$e sa-iva), t$at $as a different taste from t$e initia-

bread bite.

If t$e taste becomes #n+-easant, its an indication t$at t$e bod* does

3. WITHOUT DRINKING

Crinin w$i-e c$ewin maes it more diffic#-t for t$e diestive

s*stem to +rocess food in a +ro+er wa*. =eo+-e #s#a--* si+ a drin,

w$en c$ewin somet$in, in order to faster soften and cr#mb-e so-idfood. s *o# can #ess, w$en so-id food is faster made into a mas$,

it maes one to fee- -ie to swa--ow it ear-ier, before it is we-- mi6ed

wit$ sa-iva, t$#s t$e stomac$ receives im+ro+er-* +rocessed matter.

Crinin w$i-e eatin so-id matter a-so dist#rbs t$e diestion

+rocess, beca#se it di-#tes t$e sa-iva and diestive #ices. $en t$e

di-#ted diestive #ices diest t$e food more s-ow-*, w$ic$ creates

conditions for ear-ier rottin of it in t$e intestine.

bstain from drinin direct-* +rior to eatin, so t$at t$e diestive

#ices are not di-#ted and *o# do not fi-- t$e stomac$ wit$ a -i:#id

direct-* +rior to eatin of t$e +ro+er food. If *o# fee- t$irst*, drin to

:#enc$ it, b#t wait a doLen of min#tes before startin to eat.

as$in down direct-* after eatin is even worse. $is +ractise

worsens t$e diestive +rocess, as #st described. It is better to drin

after t$e diested food -eaves t$e stomac$.

If *o# fee- t$at *o# $ave not eno#$ sa-iva w$en eatin somet$in,*o# can c$ane *o#r food to somet$in wetter, instead of drinin to

assist c$ewin. ;owever, remember t$at -on eno#$ c$ewin

mas$es an* food and c$anes it into a -i:#id form.

4. WITHOUT MIXING

ne of t$e most im+ortant +rinci+-es of +ro+er no#ris$in is to $ave

on-* one t*+e of food in one mea-. or e6am+-e, w$en *o# eat rice

(carbo$*drates), do not add to it, in t$e same mea-, es or meat(+rotein). at on-* rice, and eat t$e es -ater w$en t$e rice is moved

fart$er from t$e stomac$.

ver* food needs defined diestive #ices. $e c$emica- com+osition

of diestive #ice for a iven food can differ from t$e com+osition

re:#ired for +rocessin anot$er food efficient-*. $is difference in

t$e com+osition can ca#se m#t#a- disadvantaeo#s reaction between

bot$ diestive #ices.$#s, w$en two different t*+es of foods are mi6ed in one mea-, t$e

secreted diestive #ice cannot +rocess t$e mi6t#re +ro+er-*. $is

manifests itse-f b* +#tref*in +rocess in t$e intestine, f-at#-ence,

consti+ation and ot$er diestive disorders.

=ro+er mi6in of foods is es+ecia--* im+ortant in case of #nnat#ra-

foodst#ff, w$ic$ is ever*t$in t$at was +rocessed (cooin, fr*in,

bacin, smoin, etc.) +rior to eatin. $en man eats food direct-*

from nat#re, w$ic$ is not +rocessed, t$e bod* manaes it m#c$ betterin case of mi6in different foods in one mea-. $e difference is made

b* t$e enL*mes contained in t$e food (more abo#t t$at -ater).

;ere are e6am+-es of errors most often made in mi6in foods%

5. DIRECTLY FROM NATURE

Nat#re is an intera- w$o-e consistin ofe-ements +erfect-* ad#sted

to eac$ ot$er. $en observin nat#re, *o# see $ow ever*t$in is

f#nctionin +erfect-*. Sometimes it ma* seem to *o# t$at some+rorams of nat#re can be +erfected. ;owever, w$en *o# -earn abo#t

t$ese f#nctions, *o# can see t$at t$e* are a-read* +erfect. -ements

constit#tin nat#re are a-read* idea--* fitted to eac$ ot$er and

worin in s#c$ a wa* t$at an* mans >correction@ can on-* $arm

t$is order.

Some of nat#re e-ements are +rorams of transformation. In t$is

transformation, some bodies are c$anin on t$e basis of t$e ot$ers. t*+ica- e6am+-e is eatin. or e6am+-e, a +-ant is eatin

(absorbin) water, air, minera-s and s#ns -i$t. 'an eats fr#its of

+-ants or entire +-ants. $e art$ and air are eatin (absorbin)

+rod#cts of man or entire man.

$e transformations $a++enin in ever* of t$ese staes do not need

an* intervention J materia-s, ener*, +rod#cts of metabo-ism are

fo#nd in nat#re in +ro+er form. If man intervenes in nat#res

f#nctions, for instance, +rod#cts of nat#re are modified or c$anedb* ot$ers, t$e transformation is dist#rbed. Cist#rbin nat#re brins

abo#t res#-ts incom+atib-e wit$ +rorams of nat#re, t$#s ca#sin

$arm to +eo+-e.

t*+ica- e6am+-e of intervention in nat#res transformation is food

+rocessin. 8ooin, fr*in, bacin, smoin and ot$er +rocessin

+rod#ces somet$in artificia- t$at is not fo#nd in nat#re (wit$ some

e6ce+tions).$e $#man bod* is a +rod#ct of nat#re and it is s#bect to nat#res

mec$anisms. eedin man wit$ artificia- s#bstances t$at are not

fo#nd in nat#re, ca#ses +ert#rbation to t$e nat#ra- transformations

concernin man in nat#re. So w$at fo--ows is intervention in -aws of

nat#re. s e6+erience and observation of nat#re s$ow, t$e

interventions in its +rorams dist#rbs -ife of +eo+-e, anima-s, +-ants,

water, soi-, and air.

does it) renders t$e food indiestib-e and t#rns it into +oison for t$e

bod*. S#c$ food forces t$e bod* to #se its own +rovision of enL*mes.

$is +rovision is norma--* non!renewab-e. $en it is f#--*
