When you give up breakfast you will be thrilled and have all the more Super Energy to enjoy! In our personal lives, my father and I do most of our creative work in the morning. And when it’s time for our daily physical activity — such as hiking, swimming, tennis or other sports — we are still filled with vital strength. Remember, it takes a tremendous amount of energy to digest a heavy breakfast. You cannot put your energy in two arenas at once, into both food and activity. People often wonder why we accomplish so much between 6 a.m. and noon.
It’s because we have not dissipated our Vital Force on a big breakfast. Our daily Apple Cider Vinegar Cocktail, whole or juiced fruit or the Bragg Healthy Pep Drink is all we need — and we both have inexhaustible super energy! You Must Earn Your Food By noon you are ready for the first meal of the day. You have earned it. You have used both mental and physical energy.
Always start this first important main meal with a large health salad consisting of coarse vegetables — all raw (grate finely if chewing problems, etc.). Make the base of your health salads from “Nature’s Broom” veggies — chopped or grated cabbage, carrots, beets and celery. To this base you can add any fresh, raw organic vegetables you desire: broccoli, cauliflower, turnips, cucumbers (with their unwaxed green skin), lettuce, radishes, parsley, peas, avocado, tomatoes, green onions, mushrooms, red and green peppers or any other fresh, raw vegetables.
Top this wonderful mixture with a fresh salad dressing made of Bragg Organic Raw Apple Cider Vinegar (with the “Mother” enzyme), honey and Bragg Organic Olive Oil. Always eat your fill of raw salad first! Never let hot food touch your mouth until you have finished your health salad! The salad is the internal broom, purifier and strong fighter that pushes toxins out. Toxins just have to move out of the body when these live nutrients in the raw salads get to work.
