Some peo­ple eat as though they were going to do the hard­est kind of phys­i­cal labor! A seden­tary per­son — by habit and con­di­tion­ing — will get up in the morn­ing and eat a heavy break­fast of cooked or dry cereal, hot cakes with bacon, eggs, but­tered toast and a stim­u­lat­ing bev­er­age like China tea, cof­fee or mucus-forming milk. Wild ani­mals never drink milk after they are weaned. Only domes­ti­cated ani­mals will, but vets advise you not to give milk to your pets. We do not approve of milk drink­ing by adults — nei­ther raw nor pas­teur­ized. It is amaz­ing how you will have less mucus, runny noses, post­nasal drip, etc., once you cut milk and its prod­ucts from your diet. Your daily jour­nal pro­vides proof of changes hap­pen­ing to your human machine!

These same peo­ple then go to work in an office, store, etc., and sit or stand around all day. They will usu­ally have mid-morning snacks and then at noon they will eat a heavy meal: bread, meat, a dessert and a bev­er­age like a sug­ared soft drink or cof­fee. In the mid-afternoon they again have snacks and more sug­ared drinks. Then at home they have their biggest meal of the day; con­sist­ing of meat, pota­toes, bread, dessert and a bev­er­age. Typ­i­cally they end their day watch­ing TV — while eat­ing another snack! This kind of daily habit­ual over-eating is mak­ing mil­lions of sick, fat, exhausted peo­ple. This habit is send­ing them to doc­tors, clin­ics, hos­pi­tals and too many to an early grave! Sad Facts: mil­lions are sick and grossly over­weight and it’s all due to unhealthy lifestyle habits.

The per­son liv­ing the aver­age, inac­tive life can’t pos­si­bly burn up these large amounts of food! So what hap­pens to peo­ple who eat this way? You know as well as we do that they are sick or half-sick for most of their entire lives. They fill the doc­tors’ offices, phar­ma­cies and hos­pi­tals with all their health prob­lems brought on by their unhealthy lifestyles. Mil­lions more end up in old people’s homes, con­va­les­cent and men­tal facilities.
