Key Number Five: Dairy, and Great Myth

It’s my opinion that one of the biggest blocks to healthy weight and healthy living is the consumption of dairy products. Health authorities in some countries recommend various quantities of dairy to promote health, so it follows that these countries would experience a greater level of health. Yet the United States, where the greatest amount of dairy is consumed in the world, leads the world in degenerative diseases.

Cow don’t drink cow milk. No other animal on the planet consumes milk from another animal. No other animal on the planet consumes any milk once they have matured, unless they are domesticated.

Calves drink cow’s milk because it was designed for them as they grow. Once they’re weaned they stop. Humans never get weaned. They go from mother’s milk to another animal’s milk.

Have you ever seen a giraffe nursing an adult rhino? have you ever seen a fod nursing an adult cat? Have you ever seen a human nursing an adult cow? Of course not. Because these animal don’t drink milk once they are weaned.

Human milk was designed for humans. The chemical composition of cow’s milk is different. To break down milk you need renin and lactase. These chemicals are mostly gone by the time we reach the age of three.

Casein is an element found in all milk and in cow’s milk it exists in concentrations that are 300 times greater than human milk. It coagulates in the stomach and forms difficult-to-digest curds. The curds are manageable in the four-stomach digestive system of the calf. For humans, with one stomach, we mush expend a huge amount of energy to deal with this digestive burden.

You can get all the calcium you need from eating raw nuts and plenty of the natural foods listed on the previous page.

If you are unsure of this information then go hunting for your own evidence. Don’t take our word for it… do the research and then decide for yourself. Better still,spend just 30 days dairy free and meat free and notice the change in your body.

At first you might notice your nails getting brittle and your stomach blotting. This is a normal part of your system adjusting to what it isn’t used to - health food. Persist, and after a couple of weeks at the most you will feel more energised and relaxed than you ever have.

What three commitments are you prepared to make after reading these key? How will they benefit your life and your health?

Key Number Four: High-Water Living


We are 70 percent water. The only way for your body to replenish it’s natural water level is by you consuming a high-water diet. This means eating fruit and vegetables, rather than processed and prepackaged foods.

The wonderful thing is that when you do this your weight will move to its optimum level, without you ever having to go hungry. You can eat as much fruit and vegetables as you want, especially foods like beetroot, carrots, broccoli, spinach and cabbage. (One person said it didn’t work...he was eating twenty bananas a day! Everything is balance.) High water content foods means our cells get detoxify. Water foods are the best flushing system. Your body will love you for it.

Exercise:

Write down everything you’ve eaten in the past 24 hours


Look at your list of foods. How many of your choices were high water content foods? How many were processed or prepackaged? How many had a used-by date that extended beyond your photocopier toner!

What you eat will play a significant role in determining how you feel. If your list included mostly pre-prepared foods then you probably feel sluggish and lacking in the energy to exercise. You’re keeping your body trapped in inertia.
