I’ve been exploring the many different healthy diets. Shopping around if you will. I’m interested in the healing diets and the longevity diets. Those two are different. For example, I have seen that there are cases when raw paleolithic diet is called for. The high fatty content of such a diet may help heal certain conditions faster. Also depends on the environment, where in the world the person is, his genetic roots, his disease condition. Raw fruitarian may be called upon for certain cases as well… for faster detoxing, for curing cooked food cravings, curing addictions… and may be advantageous if the person lives in the tropics. I live in the tropics where fruits are essentially grown organic or wild. Fruitarianism and periodic fasting is a key to longevity.
Just as babies require mothers milk and turn to other foods as they grow older. Children will have different needs. Teenagers too. Young adults as well. Middle age and old age will require other foods. I have come to a realization that we must continuously be in tune with the needs of our bodies. And in a family with mixed ages, we should not impose the same foods for people of different ages, conditions, and cravings. We must be conscious with our health and our feeding. We parents must be attuned to the needs of each individual child. I have noticed that my number 1 child’s food preferences and needs are very different from my number 2 and number 3.
So let’s keep an open mind on what is optimal food. But not grains. Grains are all bad. Grains are now classified under junk food in my book. This includes rice, bread, pasta, cakes, pancit, noodles, etc.
