LOW ANIMAL PROTEIN DIET

Apr 29 2009

The high natural carbohydrate—low animal protein diet that is the diet most conducive to optimum health, maximum vitality, and long life.

To be sure, you need good proteins in your diet. Proteins are essential for the proper functioning of all your vital organs and for the rebuilding and repair of your cells. But you must see that your diet does not contain too much animal protein. A high animal protein diet may cause such disturbances as overacidity, intestinal putrefaction, constipation, uric acid accumulation in the blood and tissues, high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol level, obesity, etc.; and it may be a major predisposing factor in the development of such diseases as arthritis and heart disease. Studies have shown that a low protein vegetarian diet can prevent 97 percent of coronary occlusions. Other tests have shown that the amount of the essential amino acids cystine and tyrosine in the diets of vegetarians exceeded twice their minimum requirement and compared favorably to non-vegetarians.

A diet rich in raw fruits and vegetables, whole grains, seeds, nuts, beans, raw unpasteurized milk and milk products such as cheese, yogurt and dry milk powder, and fortified with wheat germ, brewer’s yeast and cold-pressed vegetable oils, will supply you not only with all the essential vitamins, minerals, enzymes, trace elements, and other vital substances, but with all the necessary proteins as well.

High natural carbohydrate—low animal protein diet holds the greatest potential for optimum health, vitality and extended longevity.

This is not a theory, hypothesis or wishful thinking. This is an established scientific fact. The Scientific Council of the International Society for Research on Nutrition and Vital Substances—the most objective, independent and qualified scientific authority on nutrition today—made the following recommendation for a completely balanced diet of optimum nutrition for optimum health: “A human being needs:

for the undisturbed physiological functioning of his organism,

for sufficient vitality and energy to carry out his daily responsibilities,

and for building up of optimum health and prevention of diseases of old age,

a complete diet of whole foods with the following characteristics:

natural foods, free from harmful additives,

an adequate supply of vital substances (vitamins, minerals, enzymes, proteins, fatty acids, trace elements, etc.),

a moderate supply of calories and energy-producing foods such as refined carbohydrates,

a lacto-vegetarian diet of fresh foods (diet of whole grains, vegetables, fruits, seeds, nuts, and milk and milk products).”
