Gene food consistency
Is food that nourishes,compliments and promotes good health for one race of people and can be detrimental to another.
Biochemically our bodies are ethically different.
The universal creator places every species or humans with everything needed to support their biological lives. Due to migration, science and the violations of mixing up different plants and animals people are consuming substances and so called foods that are not native to their environment. For example in a place like Kenya 99% of the foods consumed are foreign with over 50% adopted from Asia and India in particular. Most of the African foods still grows widely but most people call them weeds. Another important point to note is the need of particular minerals for a certain ethnic group to function properly. People of African decent needs a lot of iron to function properly. Caucasians need more sulfur. Over 80% of people of African descent are low in iron or on the borderline of being anemic. Low iron( low blood count or anemia) can express itself as over 20 different conditions or symptoms that are labeled as diseases. Iron is one the most important minerals. It’s the food of the blood and so with low iron, one experiences deficit in all the other minerals including oxygen. The plants that are edible in the wild are the best plants to consume. This are the plants that we call alkaline. We are going to look at a few examples of those plants. If you know of any examples please share with us, if you are not sure about a plant please let us know and we will do our best to assist in identifying it.
