points and tips

If you think that diet and spirituality have little in common, you may well need to think again.
One of the most important areas right now in our diet is veg oils.
May I suggest you type in coconut oil/ butter into a search engine and find out about the quality's of coconut oil/ butter.

In the west, we have no way of accounting for the opposite energy's which make the universe go round.
Learning about yin and yang can be helpful in uinderstanding energy and food. It is very simple-

YIN = EXPANSIVE ENERGY. Consider that hot chilli or curry and how your nose runs, expansive yin energy.

YANG= CONTRACTIVE ENERGY. Keeps you warm. Meat, fish, eggs, dairy's.
For vegys, Buckwheat, miso, umabishi plum, kuzu.

Brown rice, once cooked, with a little pinch of salt, is on the balance. Think of a see saw. We want to be nearer the middle. A bag of crisps will have us wanting a chocolate bar. The salt/ sugar see saw.
All drugs are extreme YIN. Which can cause us to go for extreme YANG to compensate, but does not as we can be too YIN and too YANG.
A book on macrobiotics can teach us a thing or two, but give it away to someone else after reading as we don't want to get too intensly into it like a religion.
Indeed, changing our diet too quickly can rebound like a spring, so set yourself a 6 month agenda, then a 2 year one on top of that.
What you eat is decided in the shop, not in the kitchen. Shop in the right places. Sustain your local wholefood store, the supermarkets want to kill it off.
It is about finding alternatives than stopping all together. Knowledge. It is all we lack.
