Abstract:
One profound statement in the sciences read, When you stop doing
things that make people sick, they get well. History provides evidence about
the diet for humans. It is proven that the bulk amount of calorie intake came
from starch. Geographically the people of Aztecs and Mayans are known as the
people of the corn, further South at the Incas lived on potatoes except when
they went to battle made a switch to quinoa. Middle East people are known as
the breadbasket of the world. In Asia, it is a predominantly rice-based diet.
A reflection on the characteristics of these people – trim, hearty,
healthy, strong. It behooves us to consider the question what food habits do
great civilizations have in common? As people became more effective in
gathering calories and with the industrial revolution and discovery of fossil
fuels, people became wealthy and no longer depended on starches –
plant-based diets. Instead, they ate the animals that fed on a plant-based
diet (grass, legumes, or silage), and the plant-based diet became a side
dish. An examination of their bodies later showed heart-related diseases,
cancer, chronic kidney diseases, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and
more. Conventional medicine has failed in addressing some of the diseases
most of which have resulted in chronic ailments.
