Meditation
Meditation describes a state of concentrated attention, self-inquiry, and increased awareness. It usually involves turning the attention inward to a single point of reference, like breathing. Meditation is recognized as a component of most Eastern religions, where it has been practiced for over 5,000 years. During his address to the Millenium World Peace Summit at the United Nations, S. N. Goenka, the Vipassana Acharya, called meditation a nonsectarian remedy to a universal problem.
Meditation is a path to inner peace. Peace and harmony, however, cannot coexist with negativity, mental corruption, or impurity. You use meditation to quiet your mind and allow the negativity, corruption, and
impurities to dissolve. You quiet your mind by observing your thoughts. If you observe negativity or other unsettling thoughts in your mind, they lose their strength and fade away. The more you practice observing without losing your mental balance, the easier it will be to maintain your balance when you face stress, negativity, or change.
A theory is a system of ideas or statements explaining something. Raw and living
food theory claims that uncooked food produces greater health benefits than

practices, the following six concepts appear to be the principles of the raw
food or living nutrition theory. 
In Sugar Blues, Dufty describes the history of refined sugar in our diets dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries. He provides some good evidence that the known dangers of eating refined sugar date back to 1664, when diabetes was first identified by Thomas Willis, a physician in England. Willis documented the relationship between excess sugar in the urine and the likelihood of developing diabetes. But because the King’s largest business at the time was importing refined sugar, Willis did not share this information publicly. A wise move for a 17th century physician who wanted to avoid being banished. Today, we still find many of our dietary choices being driven by government policy, some of which may be to benefit industry and not the citizen.
