Getting the Most Out of Our Food by Mark Dayley

Good health is a combination of necessary rest, continuous exercise, nutritious foods, fasting, and even a positive happy attitude. In regards to the need for nutrition, the body can be likened to an expensive ore-processing machine. Mining low-grade deposits is like consuming foods low in nutrition. It takes large amounts of low-grade deposits (food low in nutrition) to produce the precious metals (vitamins, minerals, etc.) sought after. Low-grade deposits also contain large amounts of waste materials, which cause extra work and unnecessary wear and tear on the equipment (the body). It makes sense to mine higher-grade deposits (food high in nutrition) where more precious metals (vitamins, minerals, etc.) can be acquired with less work, and with less wear and tear on the equipment (the body).

“Living under conditions of modern life, it is important to bear in mind that the preparation and refinement of food products either entirely eliminates or in part destroys the vital elements in the original material.” – United States Department of Agriculture

Our "SAD" (Standard American Diet) diets of today, are generally comprised of refined and processed food (low grade deposits). When whole food is refined or processed, essential nutrients (vitamins, minerals, enzymes, fiber, etc.) are stripped away and lost. Processed or devitalized food lacks the complete nutrition our bodies need.

Here are a few suggestions from Dr. John R. Christopher's "Mucusless Diet" to help migrate to a more nutritious whole food diet providing good health:

• The Do's; eat any whole, live, raw foods. Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and a small amount of fresh fish or chemical free chicken.
