Today we continue the theme of healthy eating inspired by the work of the famous nutritionist and naturopath, Dr. Alvenia Fulton.
Writing in 1972, Dr. Fulton asked, what role does “brain starving diets” play in the low school performance of children living in poverty? She concludes, poor nutrition begets poor sustain physical and mental effort. (Chicago defender March 16, 1972) Life-giving food, vitamins, minerals, and enzymes are an excellent strategy for increasing one's intellectual ability, as well as a way to address such mental health issues like depression, addiction, alcoholism, and many other behavioral health challenges facing the elderly. Those who want to know more on the topic should read Dr. George Watson's PhD Nutrition And Your Mind (Harper and Row) Fulton also observed that one’s poor emotional status results in compulsive eating. The same is true with negativity, poor interpersonal relationships, rejection, isolation, and stress and irritability. Fulton prescribes a juice fast for those seeking to cleanse their body, rest their digestive system, and regenerate their minds.
