At the present moment.. we are what we choose to be… that should be sufficient for any of you to choose the better path for your health and growth!
we humans, don’t have that special property in our genetics to say that we were born one kind or another.. from the analysis of our teeth and chew capacity, the way we sweat, incapacity of producing Vitamin C and many other reasons we are not carnivores.. as for the way our digestive system is.. stomach and intestines we aren’t herbivores or vegetarians.. so we decided to call ourselves omnivores.
But i must insist on this point.. there is no determination of the human body to be or not to be something… so naturally we are free from these diet descriptions / prescriptions. We learned everything by imitation, so our choice in food is pure based on education and i must add survival instinct.
One of the most popular wave on diet these days is paleo, which is actually saying we didn’t changed and adapted much our digestive system from the starting moment we were living in the caves, so we are “fast-food” eaters, that means everything that was around us.. we eat.
Then after some time we had this great revolution we called the Agricultural one, so the hunter-gatherer started to grew its own food. From there when the choice was on the table… the more fat you were the more rich and healthy you were considered. Today the topic is skinny under that illusion that this is the new healthy. But did we change our diet? nooo.. we just force to eat less, starve, vomit or shit more – trying to work with the digestion.
A healthy body, in yoga, has only 3 characteristics: proper alimentation, good digestion and deep sleep.
Now i’m going for me deep sleep.. but remember.. it is your choice what you eat. If you think otherwise, then you are not free.
I’ll be back on this topic… good night..
