5TH MARCH, 2015

3. And God said,
Behold, I have given
you every herb
bearing seed, which
is upon the face of
all the earth, and
every tree, in the
which is the fruit of
a tree yielding seed;
to you it shall be for
meat.- Gen1:29

4. The pursuit of health has never been
more informed. We know more about
the fields of medicine and nutrition than
ever. Technological advances now allow
scientists and clinicians to predict one’s
susceptibility to certain diseases or
conditions by analyzing the DNA in cells
obtained from a cheek swab.
We know that the conditions a foetus is
exposed to in utero can influence the risk
of disease in adulthood. We’ve come so
far in understanding the biology of our
bodies and the biochemistry of the
nutrients and other substances we ingest.
The United States is recognized among
the leaders of the world in technology
and medicine. And yet, despite all these
advances, Americans are more unhealthy,
more overweight or obese, more prone to
chronic disease than ever.

5. Look at these WHO figures

6. GOD DID NOT CREATE MEDICINE
 Man developed medicine
as a result of his
indiscriminate eating
habits;
 Man’s food is to serve as his
medicine;
 God’s word says man has
been fearfully and
wonderfully made (Ps. 139:14)
 God designed a
mechanism in the human
body to heal itself.

7.  Man’s discovery of fire, complicates matters:
 He could now experiment with cooking his ready
made food;
 He started eating all kinds of animals, cooking and
roasting them for food;
 Man became an omnivore and could eat just about
anything that catches his fancy from worms, insects,
all kinds of eggs, milk of every animal and flesh!

8. What are the effects of that
shift?
His body finds it difficult to
absorb the complex meat, cooked
food, chemicals and toxins;
Man started grappling with
sicknesses and diseases ravaging
his body;
Man started searching for
remedies in herbs and roots he
initially jettisoned for meat;
His lifespan has substantially
become shortened.

9. Carnivores, Herbivores or Omnivores…Where do humans fit it in?
Human have eaten meats for ages. Is it good for us? (Culled from The
Hallelujah Diet)
Consider these biological and physiological traits of carnivores and
herbivores
Claws and teeth: Carnivores have sharp claws and teeth to catch their
preys, yet have no flat molar to chew. Herbivore have no sharp claws or
teeth to subdue their prey but do have flat molars for chewing and
grinding. Humans have the same characteristics as herbivores;
Saliva: The saliva of Carnivores is acidic in order to begin digestion
immediately but that of herbivores is alkaline which helps pre-digest
plant foods. Human saliva is alkaline;
Stomach acidity: Carnivore’s stomachs secrete digestive acids which are
20 times more powerful than the stomach acids of herbivores. The
powerful hydrochloric acid is needed to quickly break down fleshy food
on its short journey through their intestines. Human stomach acidity
matches that of herbivores, and we suffer reflux when our
stomach acids are overloaded;

10. Length of Intestinal track; Carnivores intestinal tracks
are relatively sh0rt so that food does not have time to rot.
Herbivores on the other hand have intestines that are 10 -
12 times their body length, so the plants they eat can
slowly break down in their milder digestive juices.
Humans have the same intestinal tract ration as
herbivores
Intestinal shape; Carnivores bowels are smooth walled
like a pipe, without bumps or pockets, so fleshy food are
eliminated quickly. Herbivores intestines are bumpy, with
many pockets, pouches, twists and turns, so plant food
pass through slowly to help absorb nutrients.
 Humans have the same bowel characteristics as
herbivores

11. Fibre: Carnivores don’t need fibres to help move food
through their short, smooth intestines. Herbivores
however need fibres to broom out their convoluted
bowels of rotten food. Humans have the same dietary
fibre requirements as herbivores
Cholesterol: Cholesterol is found in animal –based
foods only and not a problem for carnivores which can
handle large amount of cholesterol in their diet. The
plant based diet of an herbivore is cholesterol free.
Humans have zero dietary need for cholesterol
because our bodies manufacture all we need; and we
have serious health problems when we consume it in
excess.

12. People have suggested that
because we see a tradition of
meat eating behaviour in
humans, we must be omnivores.
But the physiological and
biological evidences show in
clear terms that:
HUMAN BEINGS ARE MADE BY GOD TO
BE HERBIVORES

13. When herbivore eat meat…
 The animal product moves sluggishly
through his long digestive tracts and takes
about 16 to 20 hours to clear out of the
body whereas raw fruits and vegetables
will digest in 30 to 60 minutes!;
 The body temperature heats up the meat
and they get rotten in your belly for days.
 The saturated fat in the animal products
goes into your artery system and starts
clogging it up
38% Americans will die of a cardiovascular
disease; 23% will die of cancer, a
significant remainder will die of
complication from Alzheimer’s disease
to autoimmune disorders to diabetes.
These are man made, preventable, diet
related diseases. We are creating them
in epidemic proportions by improper
diet and lifestyle

14. But meat and animal is just one of the terrible things we put in our
bodies that get us very sick. Some are
White Sugar: has no vitamins, mineral or fibres, no calories,
robs the body of vit b, depletes energy, affects the heart, increase
blood pressure, causes calcium loss, leading to bone decay etc…
Salt: experts suggest 5gm/day for an adult
Coffee and tea: caffeine drains your energy, raises cholesterol,
sleep disturbance, increases acidity, headache etc,
Tobacco: tar, carcinogenic, peptic ulcer, respiratory problems,
nicotine poisoning, osteoporosis (weakening of bones)
Alcohol: kidney problems, fatigue, headache, nausea, destroys
vitamins B and C, depression and many other ailments.
Refined cereals: increases blood sugar, depletes energy
Fatty foods: too much leads to obesity,
Fried foods
Acidic foods

23. NUTRIENTS THE BODY NEEDS TO BE HEALTHY
Nutrients = elements in food that are required for the
growth, repair, and regulation of body processes
1. Carbohydrates
2. Fats
3. Protein
4. Vitamins
5. Minerals
6. Water
7. Fiber

24. VITAMINS
 Vitamins are chemical compounds required
by the body in small amounts.
 They must be present in the diet as they
cannot by synthesized in the body.
 Vitamins are essential for numerous body
processes and for maintenance of the
structure of skin, bone, nerves, eye, brain,
blood and mucous membrane.
 They are either water-soluble or fat-soluble.

25.  Vitamins A, D, E, and K are fat-soluble, while
vitamin C and the B-complex vitamins such as
thiamin (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin, pyridoxine
(B6), folic acid and cyanocobalamin (B12) are
water soluble.
 Provitamins like beta-carotene are converted to
vitamins in the body into vitamin A.
 Fat-soluble vitamins can be stored in the body
while water-soluble vitamins are not and get
easily excreted in urine.
 Vitamins B-complex and C are labile vitamins are
easily destroyed by heat, air or during drying,
cooking and food processing.

27. MINERALS
 Minerals are inorganic elements found in body
fluids and tissues.
 The important macrominerals are sodium,
potassium, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium,
and sulphur, while zinc, copper, selenium,
molybdenum, fluorine, cobalt, chromium, and
iodine are microminerals.
 They are required for maintenance and integrity
of skin, hair, nails, blood and soft tissues.
 They also govern nerve cell transmission,
acid/base and fluid balance, enzyme and
hormone activity as well as blood-clotting
processes.

29. FATS
 Oils and fats such as butter and ghee constitute
dietary facts.
 Fats are a concentrated source of energy
providing 9 Kcal/g, and are made up of fatty acids
in different proportions.
 Dietary fats are derived from two sources viz. the
invisible fat present in plant and animal foods,
and the visible or added fats and oils (cooking
oil).
 Fats serve as a vehicle for fat-soluble vitamins like
vitamins A and E and carotenes and promote
their absorption.

30. CARBOHYDRATES
Carbohydrates are sugar.
 Provide Energy
 Provide energy for daily activity
 Provide energy to allow proper organ function
 Provide the energy of life
 There are two types of carbohydrates
 Simple Carbohydrates
 Consist of monosaccharides, the most basic unit of a carbohydrate.
 Simple sugars
 Complex Carbohydrates
 Consist of polysaccharides
 Starches (Gavin, 2008)
 Simple carbohydrates
 Refined sugars
 Fruit
 Milk.
 Complex carbohydrates
 Grain products (Gavin, 2008)

31. 31
PROTEIN
 Protein are large
complex organic
molecules which play
diverse roles in living
organisms.
 Proteins made up of
such elements as
carbon, hydrogen,
oxygen, nitrogen,
sulphur and phosphorus.
 Protein sources: egg,
meat, milk, yoghurt and
etc.

32. WATER AND FLUIDS
 Drink at least 2 litres of water daily
 Average adult loses about 10 cups of
water per day
 Urination, bowel movements, breathing,
perspiration
 Functions: Provide medium for
nutrients, waste transport,
temperature control
 For every pound of body weight, you
need about 0.5 ounce of fluid
 Sources: Beverages, fruits, vegetables
 Transportation:
 Nutrients
 Wastes
 Hormones
 Enzymes
 Platelets
 Blood cells

33. Dietary fiber
Dietary fiber is the portion of plants that our body cannot digest and absorb and
they are made up of the following components:
Soluble fibers
Insoluble fibers
Soluble fibers slow down our digestion and they help in delaying the emptying
of the stomach. They make you feel full and can aid in controlling weight.
Because this procedure affects blood sugar levels, they reduce the risk of
diabetes.
Most vegetables like cabbage, broccoli, celery, onions, cucumbers are rich in
insoluble fibers.
Likewise, these
dietary fibers are
also present in
whole grains, corn
bran, nuts, barley,
rice, and grapes.

36. Sources of
FREE RADICALS
Processed Food Stress Air Pollution
Unhealthy LifestyleChemical Pollution Medicinal Side Effects
Water Pollution

38.  “Free radical damage CANNOT be prevented or
cured by any conventional drugs. In fact, most
prescription drugs are sources of MORE free
radical generation in the body.”
– D. Harmon, L. Gerontol, 2005 American Cancer Society

40. What are Antioxidants?
 Specific nutrients in our food that prevent or slow the
oxidative damage to our cells
 Acts as free radical scavengers
 Prevent and repair free radical damage
 Phytonutrients act as antioxidants to help the
body’s defense against free radical damage

43. Strong Immune
System
Take MORE
ANTIOXIDANTS
to neutralize free
radicals
KEY AGAINST FREE RADICAL

44. Take high-quality
NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS
 Optimizes natural defence against diseases
 Boosts the IMMUNE SYSTEM
 Provide nutrients, vitamins and
minerals at optimal levels
Have a MEGADOSE of ANTIOXIDANTS

46. Foods naturally rich in antioxidants are often
called ‘superfoods’ or ‘superfruits’

47. BENEFITS
OF
NUTRITIONAL
SUPPLEMENTS

48. HEALTHY DIET
 World Health
Organization (WHO)
 5 servings of FRUITS
and 5 servings of
VEGETABLES DAILY

49. Nutrient shortfalls have health consequences
that could impact daily life and overall
wellbeing. National nutrition surveys show
shortfalls in intakes of many nutrients. For
instance, research have shown that most
adults fail to get their average daily
requirement for vitamin C, even though
vitamin C is relatively easy to obtain from
foods; low intakes can lead to poor energy
levels and weakness.

50. Even the most conscientious consumers find it
difficult to get all the nutrients they need from food
alone.
While dietary improvement is a desirable goal,
changing dietary patterns is extremely difficult. On
the assumption that it is better for people to obtain
recommended amounts of vitamins and minerals than
to limp along with low intakes, a multivitamin with
minerals which can be purchased, is an inexpensive and
effective way to fill a number of known nutrient gaps.

51. Supplement use should be seen as one component
of the search for a healthier lifestyle, including
improvements in overall food habits and engaging in
physical exercise. While much of the current
research on nutrition and health focuses on the
prevention of chronic disease, the primary reason
most people use multivitamins and other
nutritional supplements is to support overall
wellness.

52. Nutritional supplements are similarly helpful in
addressing a woman’s increased nutrient needs during
pregnancy. Prenatal multivitamins with minerals
are commonly prescribed to ensure that both the
baby’s and the mother’s needs are met. In addition to
meeting normal nutritional needs during pregnancy, a
multivitamin can also play a critical role in protecting
against some birth defects. An abundance of data
shows that women who get 400 mcg of supplemental
folic acid per day for one to three months prior to
conception and one to three months after conception
can substantially lower the risk of having a baby with
a neural tube defect such as spina bifi da. In most
studies demonstrating these results, the protective
amount of folic acid was consumed in the form of a
multivitamin supplement.

53. While adequate nutrient
intake is critical for all age
groups, it may have particular
significance for the
elderly. Antioxidant
supplements have been
shown
to have a positive impact on
eye health and cognitive
function. Adequate
nutritional status also
affects the
condition of the skin and
supports lung and muscle
function. Calcium and
vitamin D supplements can
have a powerful impact on
bone health,

54. Acid versus Alkaline foods
All foods have a level of acidic or alkaline content. It is referred to as the
pH.
 Your body pH affects everything...
 Balancing the pH is a major step toward well-being and greater health.
 Human blood pH should be slightly alkaline ( 7.35 - 7.45 ). Below or
above this range means symptoms and disease. A pH of 7.0 is
neutral. A pH below 7.0 is acidic. A pH above 7.0 is alkaline.
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 healthy 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
 An acidic pH can occur from, an acid forming diet, emotional stress,
toxic overload, and/or immune reactions or any process that deprives
the cells of oxygen and other nutrients. The body will try to
compensate for acidic pH by using alkaline minerals. If the diet does
not contain enough minerals to compensate, a build up of acids in the
cells will occur.

55. An acidic balance will: decrease the body's ability to absorb
minerals and other nutrients, decrease the energy
production in the cells, decrease it's ability to repair
damaged cells, decrease it's ability to detoxify heavy metals,
make tumor cells thrive, and make it more susceptible to
fatigue and illness. A blood pH of 6.9, which is only
slightly acidic, can induce coma and death.
 To maintain health, the diet should consist of 60% alkaline
forming foods and 40% acid forming foods. To restore
health, the diet should consist of 80% alkaline forming
foods and 20% acid forming foods.
 Generally, alkaline forming foods include: most fruits,
green vegetables, peas, beans, lentils, spices, herbs and
seasonings, and seeds and nuts.
 Generally, acid forming foods include: meat, fish, poultry,
eggs, grains, and legumes.
