What if the Cure is "Eat Right and Exercise"? by Sheila Fitzgerald

After reading 100 books on nutrition, healing, alternative medicine and whole foods I have come up with this simplistic way to look at the digestive system.
 
Food enters the body.  Depending on the food, the body sends enzymes to break it down for use.  If the food is an apple, the apple carries her own enzymes, the body rejoices, the apple energizes the body and all is well.  If the food is lasagna the body goes into emergency mode, the lasagna does not carry any digestive enzymes because they have all been cooked off, the body must produce digestive enzymes and a complicated assortment at that due to the complicated set of "foods" contained in lasagna:  meat, cheese, flour, tomato sauce etc.  Then the body stores what it cannot digest.  Some of the proteins are absorbed and used.  The rest is made into fat or stored for use another day.
 
I'm just a working wife and mother of three.  But I've found a simple approach to nutrition.
Eat foods that are highly enzymatic and result in alkaline pH; exercise to increase oxygenation to the cells.
 
 At 50, my body seems to have used up it's enzyme store.  Vegetables, fruits, beans and whole grains that contain their own enzymes give me energy.  Cooked food makes me want to take a nap.  My body wants to be alkaline, not acidic.  When I eat acidic foods I instantly feel an energy lull and want to sit down.  I know I feel better when I "oxygenate" my blood every day.  I don't call it exercise because I have participated in types of exercise in the past that were such a strain and so foreign to my goodwill that they were a drain to my system.  I walk, run and do Pilates until I can feel the blood pumping all the way from the top of my head to my toes.  Then I know the highly beneficial foods I have consumed can work their magic in my whole body.  My blood is shooting vitamins and minerals to all parts of my body to oxygenate the cells to fight disease. 
 
That's all there is to it!
