tered molecule, which ends up clogging your arteries. Cooking oils are hydrogenated in order for them to be shelve- stable for
years. Normally natural cooking oils will go rancid in six to eight month. Therefore, oil merchants hired chemists to find a way
to stop oils from becoming rancid. Chemists discovered that they could add hydrogen atoms to unsaturated fats by bubbling
hydrogen gas through vegetable oil in the presence of a nickel catalyst. This was far more than a chemical curiosity. Partially
hydrogenated oils don’t turn rancid as easily as non-hydrogenated fats. They can withstand repeated heating without breaking
down, and the process can turn a liquid oil into a solid, which allowed for easier transportation and wider uses.

Genetically altered grains and produce may prove to have unpredictable consequences with long term use. Wait and judge
from the result.
The above discussion of five points to promote optimal health are meant to help an individual boost his or her natural immune
system to maintain sustained health and also to serve as a plan to self-heal.

Ideal Dietary suggestions

An ideal diet plan to maintain sustained health by an alkaline diet follows:

To build up your immune system naturally, you need to improve your diet dramatically.

Please follow by the following three suggestions:

1. 50/50 principle - every meal should be 50% raw and 50% cooked food
2. Don't snack between meals and give yourself at least four hours to digest food.

3. Don't mix proteins, carbohydrates, and sugars at the same time.

An example of a carbohydrate meal is:

- Organic brown rice (millet, quinoa)
- Cooked vegetables with flax seed powder sprinkled on them to help digestion

- Large salad (organic sprouts, lettuce, baby spinach, cucumbers, grated daikon radish, grated carrots, grated cabbage, toma-
toes, celery, parsley or cilantro, fresh lemon, olive oil, Uncle Harry's Sea Salt and Sea Veggies, Uncle Harry's Asafoetida)

- Baked potato or sweet potato/yam

An example of a protein meal is:
- Lentil or bean soup

- Cooked vegetables

- Large salad as above

- Yogurt or tofu
Breakfast diet

Oatmeal is an inexpensive and highly nutritious grain for dietary support for health. An ideal breakfast is oatmeal cooked in
whole organic cow milk from cows that are protected until natural death (Ahimsa milk), or cooked in pure water. You can add
fruits and other grains such as amaranth, quinoa, etc. for enhanced nutrition with added raisins, dates and ripe bananas for
natural sweetening. An oatmeal breakfast with or without the natural additives will give you almost everything you need daily
nutrition and keep you satisfied until and early dinner.
Foods to Avoid:

- Cold cereals for breakfast. Try to have a fruit and fruit juice breakfast, and if you need more food, eat oatmeal cooked in
Ahimsa milk, plant milk or water. You may add some fruits and nuts with honey or organic molasses.
