Doctrine of Signatures - Keys to Good Nutrition & Tips to Eating Healthy with Organic Whole Food Feast

What Part of the Human Body
Does a Pair of Hanging Figs Look Like?

Today I'd like to share a very interesting article with you by Robin Plan that I found on her website. She actually found this great information on another site: Just A List

"I came across an amazing post on Just A List that I have to pass along.

The doctrine of signatures is an ancient European philosophy that held that plants bearing parts that resembled human body parts, animals, or other objects, had useful relevancy to those parts, animals or objects.

Susan put a lot of time into the her post so look at the samples here and then jump over to
Just A List to view the rest. It's fun and educational.

Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don't have enough sodium in your diet the body pulls it from the bones, making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body.

Eggplant, Avocadoes and Pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female - they look just like these organs. Today's research shows that when a woman eats 1 avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this? .... It takes exactly 9 months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods (modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them).

Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the motility of male sperm and increase the numbers of sperm as well to overcome male sterility.

Thanks Susan." - by Robin Plan

8 Keys to Eating Healthy Nutrition Properly - Part 2

Today we will discuss the remaining 5 keys to eating healthy nutrition properly. Our emphasis is on HOW to eat correctly because your eating habits will affect your health.

Key #4 - Practice conscious under-eating. The less you eat, the better you will feel because your digestive system will not be overloaded. This is the Number 1 health and longevity principle. Remember, over-eating is one of the main causes of premature aging and degenerative illnesses.

Key #5 - Eat fruit by itself. Don't mix fruit with your meal; it is best eaten alone for digestion purposes. Many older people say that they can't eat fruit because it gives them gas. However, the real problem is not the fruit, but rather that they are eating fruit along with other foods which causes it to putrefy in their systems. The secret to eating fruit is simply to eat it by itself on an empty stomach.

Key #6 - Eat your whole meal within a one-hour period. Do not go past 60 minutes because your body will kick in another boost of insulin.

Key #7 - Learn not to drink fluids while eating your meal. Liquids will only dilute the digestive enzymes and slow down the whole digestion process. There is a time to drink lots of liquids, and that time is between meals, not during meals.

Key #8 - Give thanks to God for the food He provides you. Be grateful for the abundance of His provision.

Bonus Suggestions - Eat several smaller meals in preference to two larger meals. Also, try not to mix too many foods at any one meal. Keeping it simple will enhance your digestion and assimilation. And finally, don't mix raw vegetables and raw fruits at the same meal because the digestive enzymes are incompatible, and this will result in gas and poor digestion.
