Hygienism
comes from the same approach as permaculture and natural
farming: the more you simplify, the better
you feel! We
eat too much food which is too rich and too complicated.
We do not need meat, fish or dairy products or eggs.
Our body needs simple food which is easy to digest.
We need to move, breathe, drink
pure water (natural
or filtered and energized), to take in the air and
the sun, to have enough rest, to laugh, to dance ... and then quietly
enjoy organic fruits and vegetables, as raw as possible.
Occasionally we eat some cooked cereals, cooked as simply
as possible... ...and life is beautiful!
In summary:
We eat only when we are really hungry, which, given that our needs
are different, makes organized meals unnecessary.
In the morning our body begins a process of eliminating toxins, so
we just drink a hot drink without sugar and then, according to the
hungryness, eat fruit in the morning.
Meals are as simple as possible and we try not to eat too many different
foods at the same time.
Food is mainly raw, or cooked simply without fat, at low temperatures
(stewed, for example).
And we don't eat meat, fish, dairy products, eggs, sugar, bread, fried
foods and salt, or drink alcohol, black tea or coffee.
The taste buds awake! We find the genuine taste of fruits and vegetables.
The body is lightened, and the head too. We are on the road to life!
Sugar and salt
A little attention to the salt, which is not generally regarded as
a drug, but which in fact is an exciting rendered necessary by the
use of sugar. This is the famous balance yin / yang we find here.
The excess of yin (sugar) requires excess of yang (salt), and vice
versa. I do not mean the sugar found naturally in fruits, but sugar
concentrated artificially, whether white or brown, and even if it
comes from beets, sugar cane, cereals or fruit. It is the concentration
that is harmful.
To return to salt, he hardens tissue, blood vessels and distorts the
taste of food. And when you stop it, you gradually rediscover the
true flavor of food.
We need the minerals that we find in fruits and vegetables, not just
sodium chloride.
