Lapis Lazuli Light: Natural Vegetarian Food Is The Best Medicine天然素食是最佳良药

When an agricultural society becomes an industrial society, not only lifestyle has been changed, but food habits have also been changed drastically. In the past, meat and fish were available only during special occasions; but now they are eaten every day. White sugar used to be a luxury food, now it can be bought anytime. Brown rice and whole wheat are replaced with white rice and white flour. In a short twenty to thirty years, these diet changes have affected health conditions in general. Heart diseases, diabetes, cancer, excess weight and premature aging are now common. It has now been proven that proper vegetarian food not only can prevent disease but can also cure disease.

Henry Bieler, M.D., wrote in his book “Food is Your Best Medicine”: “Allopathic medicine invariably has side effect. Food, on the other hand does not have this problem.” His recommendation for food is to eat more fresh vegetables and whole grains, and to avoid refined foods and meat.

农业社会进入工业社会后，不但生活环境改变，连带的，饮食也有很大的改变。以前过节才有大鱼大肉，现在天天有得吃；以前白糖是奢侈品，现在随时可以购买；糙米粗面也由白米白面来代替。短短二，三十年，饮食的改变，已影响到一般健康情况。心脏病，糖尿病，癌症，肥胖症和未老先衰已是司空见惯。

亨利比勒博士在他所著《食物才是您的良药》中说，西药在任何情况下都有副作用，往往会引起其他毛病。相反的，食物则没有这个缺点。他对饮食的建议是少吃加工的食品和肉类，多吃素菜和全麦谷类。
