The way of health is the way of the body which is largely the way of food, diet.

The body digests, transforms food, nutrients into blood into structure into function, into health or disease. There are only two kinds of nutrients, foods: building and cleansing. Building nutrients, foods, protein, fat, meat, eggs, cheese, beans, etc. build and fuel all structure and function. Cleansing foods, nutrients, water, minerals, fruit, vegetables, grains, etc. reduce, cleanse, cool and moisten.

The correct amount of building and cleansing produces and maintains the correct amount of structure and function where the body mind can thrive. The incorrect worsens, sickens the body mind via too much (overbuilt) or too little (under built, over cleansed) structure and function.

Food> digestion> absorption> blood> sex organs, skin, hair, nails, etc.

Pregnancy is a biological function produced by biological structures, organs, glands.

Infertility, miscarriage and short term pregnancy are examples of too little structure and function, protein and fat. Protein and fat build and fuel the fetus, ovum, sperm, hormones, ovaries, uterus, liver, etc.

Low protein, low fat and high carbohydrate diets, in excess, tend to cause blood, protein and fat deficiency, coldness, fatigue, pallor, thin skin, hair, nails and bones; anemia, amenorrhea, infertility, miscarriage and short term pregnancy. It takes a certain amount of blood, protein and fat, to hold a baby. Anything less creates deficiency, lack of holding.

Low protein and low fat foods, milk, yogurt, cottage cheese, beans, nuts and seeds build less blood, structure, function, pregnancy, etc.

Low protein, low fat and high carbohydrate (fruit, vegetables and grains) diets are generally used by those suffering from excess protein and fat: high cholesterol, high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis, cirrhosis, gout, dysmenorrhea, warts, tumors, cancer, etc. to reduce, cleanse the body of excess protein and fat. There are very few cancers, tumors, heart disease, etc. that are caused by too many fruits, vegetables and grains.

Carbohydrates, fruits, vegetables, grains, water, sugar, minerals, enzymes and fiber reduce, cleanse, cool and moisten. A high carbohydrate diet is generally used by those suffering from excess protein and fat, not by those seeking to get and stay pregnant.

Many women, on a daily basis, tend to eat high carbohydrate, low protein, low fat: milk, yogurt, cottage cheese, salads, raw vegetables, pasta, bread, beans, nuts, seeds, fruit, juices, shakes, smoothies, etc. This way of eating, combined with menstruation tends to create blood deficiency, which not only causes amenorrhea, infertility, miscarriage and short term pregnancy, but also pallor, fatigue, forgetfulness, thin skin, hair, nails and bones, fear, depression, etc.

Blood deficiency can be cured by supplementing the body, blood with more protein and fat, meat, eggs, chicken, turkey, etc.

The general diet, meal plan is approximately 1/3 protein and fat, 1/3 grain, 1/3 vegetable (3-5) and fruit, spices and herbs, which can be manipulated up or down to increase or decrease blood, structure and function.

Siberian ginseng, cooked foods and spices increase digestion. Digestion is a fiery process, acids and enzymes that transform food, nutrients into structure and function. It is supplemented by cooking, spices and herbs, diluted, weakened by an excess of water, fruit, vegetables, sugar, cold drinks, etc.

Evening primrose oil and black currant oil nourish, strengthen the reproductive organs. Eating seeds, sesame, sunflower, pumpkin, etc. helps build seeds. Check with your doctor before making any dietary, herbal changes.

Laxative and bitter herbs (golden seal, gentian, etc.) should be avoided as they are laxative, downward moving in nature, which is contrary to pregnancy. Pregnant women want to hold onto their babies, fetuses which they can do when their blood is rich, protein and fat. They can not hold (miscarriage, short term pregnancy) onto their babies well when their blood is thin, low protein and low fat, and or too high in water, sugar, minerals, bitter herbs, etc. Coffee, caffeine is also laxative, bitter in nature and not recommended for pregnant women.

High protein and high fat diets, in excess, tend to build growths, tumors which can interfere, prevent conception and or harm the fetus. Most women tend to suffer the opposite, unlike men who tend to suffer both, deficiency and excess. Blood, protein and fat also build and fuel sperm, testosterone, erections, etc.

A decline in blood via anemic diet (low protein, low fat, high carbohydrate) reduces the amount of sperm, testosterone, erections (premature ejaculation, impotence), etc. Red meat, eggs, chicken, etc. build better erections than grains, beans, nuts, seeds, salad, fruit and dairy. Too much protein and fat, in the extreme, can also adversely affect the prostate, tumor, cancer and or behavior, dominance, violence.

The cure, remedy to excess protein and fat, is too eat less, less protein, fat, meat, eggs, cheese, oil, space and or skip meals, especially dinner, eat more fruit, vegetables, grains, bitter herbs, fennel, etc. check with you doctor first before making any dietary, herbal changes
