Is there a perfect food?
October 1st 2009 01:04
Is there a perfect food for the human species - one food above all
others that would provide all the necessary ingredients to keep a
human body in a state of health and happiness?
It is generally believed that as long as we eat a variety of foods
in the correct proportions, we can be sure of getting all the
minerals so necessary to health.
And even if we were to produce 'the perfect food', we must be
realists and recognise that many people would not be able to take
advantage of it, and would therefore, feel frustrated and cheated.
But for the sake of this discussion, let us assume that the reader
is interested in determining if, in fact, there is a food - to the
exclusion of all others - that will satisfy our dietary needs.
I believe that there is a food of such quality and I hope that the
rest of this article provides a great deal of 'food for thought.'
Before we begin, I must state that this line of reasoning would
apply of course, only to those already in an excellent state of
health.
The test of a perfect food is that the analysis will show that;
- it has all the minerals required in ample proportions.
- it must always be available at all seasons in a subtropical
climate.
- it must be suitable for a newly weaned baby,
- for youth,
- middle age and
- old age.
- It must appeal to the senses of smell and taste,
- be palatable, and
- require thorough mastication.
The food that answers all these requirements is the COCONUT.
- The Coconut is always fresh because it grows in all seasons.
- There are always nuts at three stages of maturity on the tree.
- A baby whose rate of metabolism requires a softer and more
quickly digesting food can take the pulp and milk of the young
coconut.
- As the child develops and the metabolic rate slows down, the
child can gradually eat the more mature nuts.
- At old age, the younger nuts can again be eaten.
- As human mothers milk tastes like nuts this is a good indication
that this is the food that is natural for human beings to eat -
Cows milk has no such nutty flavour.
- The coconut kernel and milk eaten together produce the complete
food for man and meet the requirements of every test.
- It comes nearest to the analysis of human mother's milk than any
other food.
Please name me any other food that 'brings as much to the table' as
the humble coconut.
Unfortunately, as I stated at the beginning of the article, due to
geographical restrictions, many people in the world are unable to
enjoy the benefits attributed to this wonderful food.
