Based on what has been stated above, the daily menu of a health-building
and vitalising diet should be on the following lines :
Upon arising : A glass of lukewarm
water mixed with the juice of a half a lemon and a teaspoon of honey,
or a glass of freshly squeezed juice of any available seasonable
fruit such as apple, pineapple, orange, sweet lime and grapes.
Breakfast : Fresh fruits such
as apple, orange, banana, grapes, or any available seasonal fruits,
a cup of butter-milk or unpasteurised milk and a handful of raw
nuts or a couple of tablespoons of sunflower and pumpkin seeds.
Mid-morning snack : One apple
or a banana or any other fruit.
Lunch : A bowl of freshly prepared
steamed vegetables using salt, vegetable oil and butter for seasoning,
one or two slices of whole grain bread or chappatis and a glass
of butter-milk.
Mid-afternoon : A glass of fresh
fruit or vegetable juice or any available fruit.
Dinner : A large bowl of fresh
salad made up of green vegetables, such as tomatoes, carrot, cabbage,
cucumber, red beet and onion with lime juice dressing, any available
sprouts such as alfalfa seeds, and mung beans , a warm vegetable
course, if desired, one tablespoon of fresh butter, cottage cheese
or a glass of butter-milk.
The above menu is a general outline around which an individual
diet can be built. It can be modified and changed to adopt to specific
requirements and conditions. The menu for lunch and dinner is interchangeable.
Do not drink liquids with meals. The water should be taken half
an hour before meals or an hour after meals. Milk, buttermilk, and
vegetable soups are foods and can be taken with meals.
