Have you had the opportunity to visit a zoo? Or do you have a pet?

You have certainly noticed that animals develop pathologies over the years and often die.
Conversely, these same animals, left in their natural environment, die of a beautiful old age if their predator or man does not interfere.

For what reason?

In captivity or in our homes, the animal depends on humans to feed it. In its natural environment, it is the animal that chooses the food that suits it best.

How do we determine in biology the ideal food for a living being?
By observation.
So, for the living being that we are, what is the ideal food?
The observation of our digestive system as a whole indicates that we are vegetarians with a fruit orientation. We will see later what this means.

In fact, according to the observation, our digestive system is 99% identical to that of the great ape.
So, if we follow the logic of biological observation, it would be essential to research in detail what this type of living being eats since in the wild it lives in full health.

Let’s look at the type of food that is really beneficial for our body.

When we put food in our mouths, immediately, a digestion process starts.
Let’s take the example of a piece of apple.
It will first be chewed by our teeth and mixed with our saliva.
Then the resulting mush is quickly mixed with our gastric juices and quickly reaches our intestine, which is responsible for cutting up the elements that have not yet been cut up with the help of specific enzymes.
Thus, from what remains of our piece of apple, the nutritive elements will be extracted and reduced in microscopic particles thanks to a chemical process.
These will pass into the bloodstream through the intestinal wall to reach the cells.
Once they reach the cell membrane, they are transported inside the cell to provide this extraordinary machinery that is the cell with all the nutrients necessary for its life and functioning.
So, in the end, who are we really feeding when we eat?
It is our cells, isn’t it?

For many people, eating means eliminating the feeling of hunger.
Therefore, the main thing is to swallow food that feels good to the palate and gives the feeling of being full.

However … as we have seen, not everything we call food is good for our body.
Moreover, when we eat, it is actually essential to think that it is our cells that we are feeding. Therefore, they will not be able to fulfill their role fully or sufficiently to keep us with the energy we need to live healthy.
The industrialization of food has brought us a long way from the meals our ancestors ate.

Foods that have been chemically transformed and denatured by all kinds of cooking and processing can no longer fulfill their role.
Yes, they simply do not contain the elements essential to the life of the cells they are supposed to nourish.

It is therefore possible, yes, to eat what we want. However, this does not mean that we will find in the food we eat what will allow our body to function properly.

So what should we eat to ensure that our cells are nourished?
Let’s see first if eating well means ‘goodbye’ to good things that are pleasant to the palate?

Honestly… the foods you like and are afraid to deprive yourself of by eating better, what are they?
Please list them…
Now, what do you have on this list? Sweets? Pastries? Soda? Pastries? Meat? Fish? Vegetables? Pasta or other starchy foods?

Many of these foods have more natural and equally tasty counterparts. Most of the ones that make you addicted (so good! 😜) will be replaced by quality foods prepared with love.

You don’t change your diet overnight – or completely – just by realizing you’re not giving your body the nutrients it needs.
It takes time. It is essential to deeply integrate the reasons why we want to change and to give ourselves the means to do so.

Eating is the first reflex of a healthy newborn. Immediately after birth, it is his first concern. Thanks to this act, he manages the trauma experienced by, in most cases, a completely anti-physiological birth.
He therefore immediately takes refuge in food.

This reflex of wanting to eat – to suckle – immediately is not bad in itself. It is natural.
It is the context in which it takes place that gives the future adult the cue that ‘after the ordeal, there is food as comfort’.
Almost all of us have experienced this. That’s why almost all of us have the same reflex: I’m not well. I run around in circles until I eat, or sometimes I even go straight to food to fill my discomfort.

It would therefore be completely inappropriate to force our body to say ‘Goodbye’ to what makes it feel good and gives it pleasure. Life is complicated enough, isn’t it?

That’s why you will find on this page a few recipes selected among hundreds or even thousands (the Internet is full of them!) that will thrill your taste buds and allow you to enjoy healthy foods.

So ….
…. What should we eat and how?

It’s a bit confusing in your mind, isn’t it?

We’ve seen that we need to nourish our cells, but that the food we’re used to, often from an early age, isn’t what nourishes them.

So, how do we find out?

Well, if you want to determine the diet of a living being, the most common method is to examine a dead individual and observe its digestive system.

There are 3 main types of digestive system:

– carnivores

– granivores

– frugivores

What about our digestive system?

We have a frugivorous digestive system.

If we dissect the abdomen of a human and that of a great ape, and put them side by side, we find no difference in the nature of the organs.

How can this tell us what to eat?

See our insert “Our digestive system is similar to that of the great ape”.
