Talk:Overarching Self-Help/Health Dietary Principles

Outline

What's this all about?

NOT "dieting" (not even "losing weight").

Benefit the most from the links

"Learn, and do"? No. Something more.

Make changes slowly.

There's a recommended prescribed, and orderly, progression.

What to expect.

Not what YOU want, WHEN you want it (necessarily).

Salt

You'll die without it (but it will kill you if you don't understand its properties, and its role in the body).

Teeth

Never another cavity???

Water

Nobody talks about this (like I talk about it).

"Coaching"?

Available upon request.

Notes (to be added to main page after fleshing out)

Gout

Issue caused by liver not getting what it needs, so not able to break down uric acid containing foods, called "purines" (shellfish, organ meats [brains, heart, liver, kidneys], and also legumes [peanuts, beans, peas, lintels, etc.])

Salt

The raw material to make stomach acid. The sodium chloride is raw material to make hydrochloric acid. Stomach acid needs to be in sufficient amounts, and BELOW a pH of 1 - otherwise stomach will not remain sterile. Only with pH of BELOW 1, can the stomach appropriately digest proteins, absorb minerals (like iron, B-12, etc.). Once pH is above 2-2.5 the stomach can't do that.
