BalanceD KUnDalini Diet
Only overburden the digestive system during kundalini if you are not interested
in spiritually transforming. For those not ready to adopt a raw diet, a combination
of the anti-inflammatory Zone Diet plus the timing and principles of the Provita
Plan will provide a great basis for balanced nutrition. But even for rawfoodists
to adopt the principles of these diets would be advantageous, as active kundalini
necessitates optimum nutrition and a balanced diet is all the more important. You
can do much of it in the city, but harvesting wild plants from the local environs is
the premo way to build up your nutrient and mineral base; such as adding spring
dandelions to salads or carrot juice..
The Rave Diet people at http://www.BeaconDV.org recommend a 100% plant based
diet with only 10% calories from fat. This is the ultimate disease prevention diet
that strengthens the immune system and lengthens lifespan. Whereas animal based
diets are proinflammatory due to increased Arachidonic Acid, they raise serum
estrogen and testosterone increasing the risk of cancer and have cholesterol levels
thereby blocking receptors. There is no problem with getting adequate protein
on this diet. According to growing methods the protein ratio of spinach is 30%,
brussel sprouts are 19%, boiled green beans 13%, romaine lettuce 18%, raw
cabbage 15%, raw Spanish peanuts 16%, almonds 13%, quinoa 12%, buckwheat
13%, kidney beans 24%, sprouted soybeans 26%, tofu 38%, sprouted alfalfa 34%,
Swiss chard 23%, wheat grass juice 27%, and mushrooms 37%.
The China Study is THE nutrition book of the century if people really want
to get serious. The RDA for protein is 10% of the calories of the diet, which is
equivalent to 50-60 grams. T. Colin Campbell, PhD, in his book The China Study
said that his research proved that when rats were given only 5% protein (milk
protein-casein), cancer initiation and growth was greatly reduced or suspended.
He also found “plant” protein did not promote cancer growth even when fed at
higher levels (20%). Thus he concludes that it is animal protein in the diet that
feeds cancer growth irrespective of the dosage of initial carcinogen exposure.
Mail order food companies like Jaffe Brothers are really worthwhile using
because most of the nuts, grains and seeds in the stores are old and rancid. When
you by pumpkin seeds from Jaffe Bros they are as green as wheatgrass. There is no
point in eating OLD food. They also have the cheapest apricot seeds.
