1. He who chews long,  lives long. The world-famous American doctor G. Fletcher recommends chewing food for 35-55 times to get the food the consistency of jelly!

A person has 6 salivary glands in the mouth (4 under the tongue, 2 at the base of the tongue), and about 20,000 papillae on the tongue. Therefore, three stages of chewing are defined: salivary, gastric, intestinal. What is well chewed is half digested. (Learn more by searching for Fletcherism)

When we eat mindfully, consciously and with pleasure, all digestive systems and reactions are involved. It relieves constipation and most diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.

2.Observe the measure. Do not overeat! The main reason for overeating is eating refined, "empty", unnatural food. When the body does not receive the necessary elements, it is not saturated. But it is necessary to saturate it with high-quality "fuel" and not with "empty" calories. It is advisable to refrain from eating if you are not hungry.

How to determine the portion size? If the fist is the size of your heart, then the palm with fingers is your stomach. Do not stretch it.

If you do not have kidneys, liver, heart, lungs diseases, diabetes, tuberculosis, try intermittent fasting in the safest mode: 16 hours of fasting per day.

3. Proportion 7/3. Fresh vegetables, fruits, greens, seeds, nuts should make up to 70% of the diet and only 30% of cooked meals. Heat treatment should not be aggressive: use steaming, slow stewing, baking in parchment or a pot (not in foil, not in colored silicone molds!!!). Avoid frying!

Patients who cannot eat raw vegetables due to acute stomach diseases or for other reasons should drink fresh juices. The best thing is to combine 5 types in one glass. For example: 40 ml of cabbage, 50 ml of potato, 100 ml of carrot, 50 ml of cucumber, 50 ml of beet juices. Other proportions are also possible. (Learn more about Gerson Therapy)

4. Completely eliminate the refined sugar. It has been proven that sugar supports inflammatory processes in the body, "feeds" pathogenic microflora, suppresses immunity, and leads to premature aging. (Read the article "Sugar Kills Humanity"). In the context of "de-sugaring" the body, you should be more interested in the glycemic index of the products you include into your diet. Food with a high GI should be limited, instead give preference to complex carbohydrates which contain more dietary fiber and do not cause a significant sugar increase. For example, sweet potato, grapefruit, pumpkin, carrot.

5. Limit salt as much as possible. In his bestseller "Kidney-superhero", the French professor, nephrologist Gilbert Derey comprehensively highlights the damage caused by table salt to kidneys and the body as a whole. It is important to note that following a salt-free diet, we still get sodium chloride in full from foods. For example, 100 g of sauerkraut contains 800 mg of salt, bees - 260 mg, potatoes - 30 mg, raisins - 100 mg, bananas - 55 mg.

6.Food should give pleasant emotions! If meal loses its taste without salt, then lemon and apple juice, horseradish, parsnip, garlic, dill, parsley, cilantro, basil, thyme, cumin and many other herbs can be generously added to salads and other dishes to help to get rid of salt addiction.

By the way, parsnip root contains about 6 anti-cancer agents!

7. Cleansing from nitrites, nitrates, nitrosamines (carcinogenic group), helminths, etc. Soak fresh vegetables, fruits, berries, greens for at least an hour before eating. Add a tablespoon of soda or 3-5 tablespoons of vinegar to the water.

You should know that smoked sausages and fish are among the champion foods with the carcinogenic properties that cannot be "soaked away". Some scientists explain the wide spread of stomach cancer among the Japanese because the smoked fish is processed with nitrosamines.

8. Fruits should be eaten an hour before the main meal; if they are eaten after a meal, the food will ferment and disrupt the acid-alkaline balance.

9.Take care of water quality! If there is no proven water source nearby, a well from which you can drink live water, then boil the water and "bring it back to life." This means that microelements are destroyed or changed in boiling water. Cool the water and revive it with enzymes. To do this, it is enough to add a few slices of lemon or slices of cucumber, pieces of apple, some crushed cranberries, sea buckthorn, etc. Leave it for an hour and drink during a day.

A great solution would be to add natural aloe vera barbadesis miller juice to water. More information on aloevera.in.ua

10. Beware of mold! Polish scientists were the first to discover aflatoxins - poisonous waste products of some types of mold that cause leukemia in humans and animals; lead to the death of bees. There is also a mold that affects peanuts and promotes cancer. Consume only fresh ones! Don't risk!

11.Regular defecation process. Defecation process should occur 1-2 times a day. The concentration of bacteria in the intestine automatically creates the prerequisites for the tumor occurrence . Rectal cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world. These failures are connected not only with nutrition. Among the possible reasons can also be: insufficient amount of water in the diet; the bad spine condition; the diaphragm blockage. People who abuse eating animal fats and proteins, white bread, sugar, smoked products, drinking alcohol, change the microflora too radically, reduce immunity, make the gall bladder, pancreas, kidneys, and liver work exhaustingly, finally find themselves in the risk zone.

12. Changing eating habits (updating the diet, regime, intermittent fasting, etc.) should not happen in one day, but gradually. Respect the capabilities of the body that are available today. If you introduce new products, the body must provide specific enzymes, the microflora and the hormonal system should adapt.

13. The choice of food should be determined by its ability to create life force in the body, purify, restore (heal), form vital cells of the brain, endocrine glands, and all tissues; maintain acid-alkaline balance.

14. Combine foods based on their compatibility. Food combining charts are available online for free.

15. Ensure normal sleep process, because it is during the sleep that regeneration mechanisms are mostly activated. Do not drink coffee in the afternoon. Chia seeds are a real source of nutrients, including Omega 3, minerals and dietary fiber, as well as tryptophan. 2 spoons of chia contain more than 200 mg of tryptophan, which helps the brain to produce serotonin, which is important for a better sleep. Tryptophan is also found in significant amounts in spirulina and pumpkin seeds. To calm your mind down, read paper books (not from monitors!) before going to bed. Positive and new information helps to keep the brain young.

16. One of the causes of cancer is a chronic lack of vitamin C. One cigarette burns 25% of the daily norm of this vitamin. Draw conclusions.

17. Carry out "deplastifying" of the living space. It is hard to believe the amount of plastic nano-particles that we accumulate in the body eating food, using food wraps, plastic bags, wearing synthetics, using detergents, cosmetics, etc. This factor is being neglected, but it plays a serious role in poisoning of human.

18. ONCO PREVENTION. It is believed that more than 1000 chemicals in the atmosphere are capable of causing cancer. Provide the body with natural means of detoxification.

19. Phytotherapy. People often either underestimate or exaggerate the power of plants, or use herbal preparation chaotically. Use any herbal preparations consciously, having a specific purpose and course.

20. Live long! Man is programmed for living 120 or for 150 years as some scientists claim. Therefore, if a person is seriously ill, it is necessary to revise the way of life and dare to make changes. Each victory (for example, getting rid of addiction to sugar, red meat, tobacco, or tempering your body, walking every day, cooking healthy meals) strengthens the belief in the victory over the disease. Positive changes in a well-being are the best motivator.
