Diet by Sanatana Sai Sanjeevinis and other notes. 7

[Guest guest]

Light and Love In the previous parts, mainly the negative properties

of non-vegetarian food and refined food products with unhealthy chemical

additives to them were considered. It is a general outlook. Each organism has

created little differently from others and has the specific bents for food.

Everyone would pick up such food that is more suitable to his/her organism.

Swami's explanations concern to food precisely observes distinctions of

everyone's needs in food what by Swami is as medicine. However, in

reality nearly not anybody can completely avoid refined food products with

chemical additives. Today part of vegetarian products is produced by gene

technology. By my opinion for most people today is no need absolutely to avoid

relatively ecologically clean diary products and unfertilized eggs. It seems

that for someone even little amounts chicken, little quantities of coffee or

tea can serve as medicine and to use them is probably better than artificial

chemical drugs. There are two similar rules for all peoples on the

Earth. It is to adhere to moderation at partaking of food and to dedicate the

food for God mentally and/or through prayers. (Ancient Estonians devoted to the

forces of nature through their deity Taara, did not have their meals without

prayers of gratitude to the nature, which gifted them their meals. Thanks,

prayers from heart in any form purify the food through sacred vibrations. Even

some modern researchers start to find this and have reached to the hypothetical

explanations. (About it I try to note in the next part). Here is nothing

has said about drinks with alcohol and other drinks with artificial chemical

additives. They are not food, but poisons for human body. By Sanatana

Sai Sanjeevinis is healthy to add to the diet different natural products and

additives according to season. It is useful to add:

1. Water (especially spring water), fresh seasonal fruits, fresh seasonal

vegetables, gur (jaggery), butter, pure ghee, home-made curds (yoghurt), butter

milk. 2. Whole grains (according to season) eg. wheat, jawar, bajra,

barley, parboiled and/or unpolished rice. 3. Lentils, dals, beans,

grams. Nuts and seeds - sesame, sunflower, almonds, walnuts, pistas and

coconut. 4. Dry fruits (in winter). 5. Fresh lemon water (without

sugar). 6. Tamarind - to lentils (to prevent flourosis and acidity).

7. Sprouted or living foods. 8. Wheatgrass and Rejuvelac. 9.

With fried food is recommended to use only unrefined oil.

 

For children's food is useful to add milk made from sesame seeds, sweet

melon seeds, soya beans, wheat, coconut, almonds, peanuts combining with dates

and honey, flavouring with cardamom (ilaichi), saffron (natural kesar - not

artificial flavour), kewra, natural vanilla etc. These can be given to newborn

children also (diluted) where mother's milk is not available for some reason.

The addional explanations concern to protein, calcium, vitamin A, vitamin

B12, iron by Sanatana Sai Sanjeevinis: 1. Protein comes from amino acids

- everything that grows on the earth has amino acids. Where does the elephant,

the cow, the horse, the bull get its amino acids? From grains and grasses! All

grains, lentils (daals), all vegetables are rich in proteins. 2. Calcium

- nature abounds with it and in readily assimilable form with phosphorus and

magnesium in the correct ratios - in all green leafy vegetables and nuts

especially sesame (til) seeds and almonds. Even to tiny babies is good to give

milk made from sesame seeds, coconut, wheat, almonds, soya bean, if for some

reason mother's milk is not available.

 

3. Vitamin A - green leafy vegetables and naturally yellow fruits -

mangoes, papayas, carrots, peaches - are rich in vitamin A. The drumstick plant

- its leaves, flowers and fruit, coriander leaves, fresh mint - all these are

the richest sources of vitamin A. 4. Vitamin B12 - it has explained by

science that it comes from animal sources. It is true – it comes from animal's

residing in humans' intestinal tract - the friendly bacteria, when antibiotics

have not killed them. If it so, then it is good to take homemade yoghurt freely

(never after sunset) and Rejuvelac. However, health body knows how to balance

itself. 5. Iron - All green leafy vegetables are full of iron as are dry

fruits and most fruits (especially the ones that turn brown if left exposed

after cutting or pealing). That milk, meat, or eggs are essential to fulfill

our iron requirement is a story of commercial interests. One humble bowl of

spinach (palak) contains as much iron as 60 gallons of milk. In eggs, there is

no sufficient concentration of iron.
