Diet & Health: A Daily Diet to Regain Health

grapes, or raisins. A few almonds can be added and chewed well.

Breakfast of a more substantial nature for workers: one hour or more after the liver-flush, or when the almond oil is no longer needed, then one hour or more after taking the hot lime or lemon water and honey, take half a cup of freshly pressed out ginger juice combined with a cup of hot water in which raisins, dates or figs were soaked all night. Put the soaked fruit in the porridge. Then have a liberal helping of porridge made of three-fourths millet and one-fourth foenugreek [fenugreek] seeds well cooked and with some raisins in it. A banana, some honey or guava jam, not too sweet, or any naturally sweet fruit may be taken with the porridge - BUT NEVER a citrus fruit. Also have one or two dozen peeled almonds and masticate them well. This makes a very substantial breakfast. Chew it well.

3. Beverages: Under no circumstances should one ever partake of alcoholic drinks. Not only does alcohol give one a false sense of well-being, followed by mental depression, but it also dulls the brain and pickles the food in the stomach, causing indigestion. Alcohol is also hard on the liver and kidneys.

Take hot water with lime or lemon and honey in it to sweeten to taste and to act as a cleanser for the bloodstream. Soak raisins, figs, dates and almonds, drink the water and use the fruits.

For a daily beverage, instead of coffee or regular tea, make a tea from ginger root, foenugreek [fenugreek] seeds and peppermint; sweeten with honey and flavour [flavor] with lemon or lime juice.

A glass of fresh orange or grapefruit juice in between meals is very beneficial. It contains vitamin C in abundance if taken immediately after extracting the juice. It should not be allowed to stand, as the longer it is exposed, the more it loses of its value. The natural fruit sugar is levulose [fructose] and is easily digested and assimilated.
