Diet Therapy for Menstrual Problems
The various disorders relating to menstrual flow, being
systemic in origin, can be tackled only by treating the system
as a a whole, so as to remove the toxicity from the body and
build up the general health level of the sufferer. To undertake
such a scheme of all-round, health-building treatment, the
sufferer should begin with an all-fruit diet for about five days,
taking three meals a day of fresh', juicy fruits. However, if
there is excessive weight loss during the all-fruit diet, those
already underweight may add a glass of milk to each fruit
meal. After the all-fruit diet, the sufferer should adopt a
well-balanced diet, with emphasis on fresh fruits, raw
vegetables, and wholegrain cereals. The foods which should
be avoided are white flour products, sugar, confectionery,
rich cakes, pastries, sweets, refined cereals, greasy foods,
tinned or preserved foods, strong tea, coffee, pickles, and
condiments.
Further short periods of all-fruit fasts for two or three
consecutive days, can be undertaken at monthly intervals,
according to the need of the case.
