Last weekend our Sydney Morning Herald had an article on three people following three radically different diets.
The first one was a fitness instructor who only ate raw meat.
The second was a woman who had been eating only fruit for years and looked like she'd blow away if someone opened a window.
The third was a Chinese Traditional medicine therapist who made the most sense by a country mile.
Dr Qi Chen, 50, but looking thirty, discussed his and his family's diet. He eats up to 70% rice, with more vegetables and less meat - about half the meat ordinary Chinese eat.
For breakfast, he eats Congee - rice porridge mixed with green barley and sweet potato. He encourages his son to eat one egg a day for the brain, the memory and thr lipids (fats)
Like Cassie and I, he's not a dairy fan at all. 'Once children grow up, no more milk. Too much growth hormone in it. If adults have too much growth hormone, can be prone to cancer".
He's also like me in that he doesn't try to drink lots of water, because he believes that drinking too much water makes the kidneys work too hard. He won't drink tap water. and if he does, he leaves it out overnight for the gaseous chlorine to dissipate. I only drink about a litre and a half a day because my ION LIFE water is so hydrating, my body tells me it's had enough with less.
"We don't drink mineral water. Australian mineral water is too acid. You have to check the pH level. if over 7, this water good. Lower then seven should be avoided. It can cause stone in the body - kidney stone, gallstone."
His basic dietary philosophy revolves around keeping the body in an alkaline rather than an acid state. He believes that cancer cannot survive in an alkaline environment, and that normal cells mutate because of an excessively acidic inner terrain. "Too much free radical. That make our DNA mutate. Alkalized blood makes our DNA more stable."
When we began to talk about alkaline balance eight years ago they thought I was nuts. How things change!
