and light-headedness.

It takes time to change our way of eating. The beauty is, that a body awakened to nutritional foods begins to crave them, to appreciate them, to invite exploration into new foods and methods of preparation. The first time I got healthy, it took several years. I had not realized that my aversion to fresh fruits and vegetables was due to the fact that my body was not yet able to use them during digestion. The second time I modified my eating habits, it only a few months before I was comfortable with the same foods. The health benefits from eating right are too numerous to mention in a short article. A bright smile, healthy skin, glowing hair and a clear mind sound like good motivation?

Here then, are the simple outlines to good nutrition.

AVOID white flours, white rice, sugar and, more importantly, high fructose corn syrup. (Use sugar ONLY to stop the digestion process).
Proteins are the building blocks of all body tissues.
Proteins require either the COMPLTE regime of B-Vitamins or digestive enzymes for our body to fully assimilate them.
Digestive enzymes can be found in any not-overcooked fruit and vegetable. Fruits and vegetables use different enzymes for digestion and should not be eaten at the same meal.
The complete regime of B-Vitamins are found only in whole grains. (Other foods have them, but they are not complete, and meant for purposes other than protein assimilation).
Whole grains contain essential oils within the germ. Essential oils are necessary for delivering vitamins A, D, E and K throughout the body.
Other sources of essential oils are avocados and raw nuts and seeds.
Vitamins A, E, and K can be derived from fruits, vegetables, seeds, and are more easily obtained from fresh, uncooked foods. Vitamins A and E are essential to healthy skin, eyes and sexual organs.
Calcium is most-easily absorbed in the form of raw celery.
Vitamin D is absorbed in the skin. People who do not get sunlight may need a supplement.
