How To Eat To Live, Book 1 By Elijah Muhammad For more than 30 years, messenger Elijah Muhammad has been teaching the so-called Negroes of America on the proper foods to eat to improve their mental power, physical appearance, for prevention of illness, curing of ailments and prolonging life. Given the humble, economic conditions of the blacks in America, an inexpensive, yet highly nutritional diet was given to them by Elijah Muhammad. Before the health craze that has swept the country, Elijah Muhammad and the Nation of Islam were head of the curve as far back as the early 30's. This is the first of two books written with this simple, yet revolutionary way of eating.

You Are What You Eat--And You Are What You Don't Eat,
This review is from: How to Eat to Live, Book 1 (Paperback)
Elijah Muhammad's dietary instruction (found primarily in his How to Eat To Live books) was ahead of its time. Readers must bear in mind that these dietary laws, admonished to Nation of Islam (N.O.I) followers and suggested to Blacks in general, were taught to Elijah Muhammad in the early 30's, decades before the health food craze began. We are just now beginning today, as a global community, to catch up with some of the dietary suggestions outlined in these books more than a generation ago. Such warnings against eating red meats and synthetic foods such as, margarine, refined sugar, white flour, white rice, and fast foods (popular restrictions among health conscious people today); were outlined in these books ages ago. To credit Elijah Muhammad, Black Muslims were eating health food before it was called "Health Food."
How To Eat To Live recommends whole grains, whole wheat, brown rice, and plenty of vegetables and herbs; the stable foods of health conscious gurus. The navy bean, emerges from these pages as king of the legumes and a vital supplement to a healthful diet. Today, we see a trend of middle-aged people racing the clock and choosing vegetarian diets for better health. How to Eat To Live crossed that finish line long ago also. Moreover, most vegetarians and health conscious people do not use drugs, smoke any kind of leaf, or drink intoxicants at all. Well, yeah; that's covered here also, making the lessons life-saving as well as money-saving. The knowledge of how to eat to live is a big part of Elijah Muhammad's teachings and probably more important than even some of his followers recognize. Anyone striving for better health should experiment with this diet. The Messenger highly recommended a specific daily regimen accommodating the right foods, which may be a daunting challenge for many, but you don't have to become a Muslim to eat like one. Just eating the right food and rejecting the wrong food is a start. How many know that the much ridiculed (but very popular) bean pie, a wonderfully nutritious and delicious desert, is an Elijah Muhammad exclusive creation? Today, commercial bean pies are sold everywhere; but women in the N.O.I specialized this dish in their home kitchens long, long ago. How to Eat To Live is a great read as well as a wholesome and refreshing educational repast. Be open minded, because a profound spiritual message underscores these dietary lessons.

Eat to Live Indeed,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: How to Eat to Live, Book 1 (Paperback)
Incredible!! I read the book in 2 days and immediately began to apply it. After only a few days, my mind began to clear and my energy level increased. The Wisdom behind it makes great sense and, so far, its all good. I do not profess to be Muslim, however, the Wisdom, from my life experiences, proves to be, for the most part, Pure, Unadulterated TRUTH,...like it or not. Thank you for such an informative writing and I look forward to many more purchases from the Author, The Honorable Elijah Muhammad. Peace be unto You!!
