Natural nutrition has two underlying precepts: the body not only has the potential to heal itself but is also unable to work against itself. Natural nutrition is not only about what we put into our mouths in the form of food and drink it is also about taking responsibility for the quality of the choices we make.

The many combinations of ingredients naturally found in fruits and vegetables, as opposed to chemicals, are essential in order to maintain optimal health. Choose to take in to your body only those foods that contain natural enzymes and nutrients and you will feel and look healthier and more energized. Many health conditions can be treated successfully through proper nutrition.

In the age which we live there is an unprecedented focus on getting and staying healthy. As more and more research points to the effect of fitness and nutrition on our overall health, the findings become more difficult to ignore. There is no doubt that the food that we eat and the physical activity that we perform significantly impact our weight and our body s overall health and longevity.

When you look at fitness and nutrition and the consequences of ignoring their importance, it is not difficult to see how large a role they play in our health. First and foremost, it is important to understand how powerfully diet can affect us. Natural, whole foods such as

fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and lean proteins give our bodies the vitamins that it needs to function effectively. We have energy when we eat right. And when we have energy we burn fat. Eating properly allows us to maintain a healthy weight and keep undue stress off of our hearts; it also allows us to keep our blood pressure and cholesterol levels in the healthy range. Most importantly, good nutrition keeps our bodies stocked with antioxidants that fight off a range of illnesses including cancer.

A vegetarian diet is considered to be the best among all types of diets. Many studies can prove this claim. A Columbia University study has shown that the human body s structure is actually not suited for animal meat consumption. It was found that the small and large intestines of carnivores are both short. Humans, however, have small and large intestines that are long.

When humans consume meat, especially in huge proportions, it stays in the intestines for longer periods, which can decay and lead to the formation of toxins. These toxins have been found to be trigger diseases such as colon and rectal cancer, liver and kidney problems and many others. Excessive consumption of meat can also increase

saturated fat and cholesterol counts that can slow down the body s metabolic functions, thus leading to cardiovascular problems.

Wait a minute! We know that fat and cholesterol are hazardous to our health. You mean to tell me that too much protein is also hazardous to our health?

Yes, absolutely! That is exactly what I am saying. I know that this may come as a complete surprise to you, but the truth is that many experts think that too much protein, particularly animal protein, is hazardous to your health!

If a person consumes over 15% protein in his diet (beef typically has 26% protein the rest is fat and chicken has 61% protein the rest is fat), then the body must get rid of that protein.
