l
y rich in vitamins, minerals, trace elements, enzymes and natural su
g
ars. They exercise bene
f
icial eff
e
ct in normalising all
the body functions. They

and almost all their vital nutrien
t
s are assimilated directly
in the bloo
d
stream.

m
ents. This

in no

there is over-acidity in most condi
t

m

bstances.
Tip 207.
T
h
e Juice Diet for Asthma
Asthmatics
should alw
a
ys eat less
t
han their c
a
pacity.
The patient
should fast
f
or a few days on lemon juice with h
o
ney and thereafter resort
to a fruit juice diet
to
nourish the
system and elim
i
nate t
h
e toxins. Gradually, solid foods can
be
included. T
h
e patient s
h
ould, however, avoid the common d
i
etetic errors.
Ideally, his
diet should con
t
ain a limited quantity of carbohydrates, fats and
proteins which are acid-
f
orming foods, and a liberal qua
n
tity of alkali
n
e foods co
n
sisting
o
f fr

e
ntils and
cu
r

r
ied and other diffic
u
lt- to- digest
f
oods should be avoided. Breakfast
may consist of prunes,
o
range or berries or a
few black raisins with h
o
ney. Lunch and dinner should consist of a salad
of raw vegetables such as
cucumber, lettuce, tomato, carrot and
b
eets, one or
two lightly cooked
green vegetables and
w

The last meal should p
r
