The food we eat is not mankind's only determining factor. The body, soul and
spirit all have their functions and roles to play, their areas of influence. But the harm done by eating the wrong kind of food fats has repercussions in all realms of life, including healthy mental and spiritual functioning.
In our world, however, the choice of' healthy food is one of the elementary aspects of our lives which we should organize as such. It is far more important than many people in the Western world are willing to admit. It is not
those who acknowledge this fact who are materialistic in their way of thinking, but those who are not willing to forego something, in order to achieve a far greater goal.

for healing cancer naturally, in "Flax Oil as a True Aid"
Introduction by Healing Cancer Naturally
The following article gives a good general introduction to dietary habits which - based on data gleaned from epidemiological and other observations - will
contribute to a healthy cancer- and otherwise disease-free life. Major necessary additions and dietary advice however would include items such as the following:
1) Eating organic: compare for instance “Important note: anecdotal ‘vegetarian’ colon cancer case illustrating the possibly major importance of avoiding
nonorganic fruits and vegetables” at Vegetarians Live Longer, Cancer Causes: Pesticides and Organic food)
2) Avoiding water-borne toxins: compare Cancer
fighting nutrients become deadly when combined with chlorinated tap water, Water filters: How can we get pure, clean water? and Fluoridation can cause cancer).
3) Eating fresh: compare Natural Food Sources of Glyconutrients, The Fungal/Mycotoxin Etiology of Human Disease (particularly CANCER) etc.
4) Intestinal & digestive health & cleanliness: compare for instance It’s not what you ingest, but what you usefully absorb, Dr. F.X. Mayr’s in-depth research into the link between nutrition, dietary habits, intestinal health and overall health & beauty and Detoxification: Internal cleansing.

Diet and Nutrition Facts - What Exactly is the Healthiest Diet?
Doctors and researchers agree that cancer-protective diets are built from plant-based foods: fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes.
These foods are:
• Rich in complex carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals.
• Rich in cancer-fighting phytochemicals such as isoflavones and
isothiocyanates, and antioxidants such as vitamin C, beta-carotene,
selenium, and lycopene.
• High in fiber.
• Naturally low in fat (especially animal fats) and salt, and
cholesterol-free.
Steps you can take to maximize the cancer-fighting power of your diet:
• Build your diet from a variety of fruits, vegetables, grains, and
legumes.
• Include daily servings of brightly-colored fruits and vegetables and
dark green, leafy vegetables.
• Avoid foods from animal sources.
• Select foods low in fat and salt.
• Choose whole or minimally-processed foods over highly-processed
foods and supplements.
• Use care to prepare and store food safely.
Other important steps you can take to keep your body strong and healthy include:
• Maintain a healthy weight.
• Incorporate physical activity into your daily routine.
• Avoid drinking alcoholic beverages.
• Completely avoid using tobacco in any form.
