These races have also been further divided into nine distinct sub-races and numerous ethnic groups, each living in different geographical zones on the globe.
Each race has different and unique physical characteristics, such as stature, shape of the body, colour of the skin (pigmentation), genetic make-up, and possibly, biochemistry and physiology adapted to the general climatic condition of the geographical zone.
The physical body of man is said to be literally made from the dust (soil) of that part of the earth where he/she was born.
Therefore … “The earthly body is connected with that part of the earth where it was born. It is also closely connected with all the stars of this particular region and with all the radiations that belong thereto.”
There is no accident in Nature; everything happens in accordance with the Natural Order or Law that governs the entire universe.
Consequently, every human being on earth belongs to that race and is placed in that geographical zone, which is most suitable for his/her physical and spiritual growths. For it is only in this race and zone that he/she can fully unfold and manifest his full powers and abilities.
And all that he/she needs to achieve these were already provided in that zone of his/her birth by the Substantiate Beings, who also fashion his/her earthly body.
Food is one of the most important basic needs of man given to him by the Creator for his nourishment and as the fuel that provides him with the energy necessary for keeping the physical body and the soul together.
Food provides man with all the essential raw materials needed for the building up of an efficient and disease-resistant physical body.
Food also provides man with simple natural medicines that are affordable and could be prescribed for the treatment of an ailing physical body.
The nutritional and health needs are zone-specific, unique and similar in each geographical zone, and different from those of other zones, due to the differences in the climatic conditions and stellar radiations of the regions.
The Substantiate or Nature Beings, who also fashion the earthly bodies, offer foods, such as carbohydrates, proteins, minerals, vitamins, fats and oils (in fruits, vegetables, herbs, seeds and nuts) for nourishment and maintenance of the physical bodies to the inhabitants of each zone at the right time- when they are needed.
Diseases and their cures are also race and region-specific.
Plants for food and medicines thrive naturally only in the regions where they are needed. Even when particular species of plant grow in different geographical zones, their texture, chemical composition, biophysical radiations, and therefore, physiological and therapeutic effects, etc vary considerably, due to the differences in soil texture and climatic conditions.
Consequently, the mode of feeding or nourishing and healing the physical body is only uniform in a particular race or ecological zone, and this is always fashioned according to the culture, custom, religious belief and level of spiritual maturity of the people.
Those who are born in the polar zone (the Eskimos) eat plenty of fatty meats and fish, which probably help them to conserve heat to withstand the extreme cold climates.
Their bodies may develop a high resistance against complications of diseases, such as obesity, cancer, diabetes, etc.
However, when those born in the tropical regions of the world, who naturally eat hot spicy foods, less fatty meat and plenty of vegetables that induce sweating and thereby “cool the blood,” begin to eat like the Eskimos or eat foods that are imported from regions with different climatic conditions, their natural immunity to tropical diseases, like malaria, typhoid fever, etc lowers and conditions of chronic imbalance and diseases may result.
The staple foods may be “heavy” in some geographical zones and “light” in others, due to the marked differences in the climatic conditions, nature of the soil, the stellar radiations, etc.
Therefore, there cannot be uniformity in the eating habits in all the zones on the globe.
As we have noted above, the mode of nourishments, foods, diseases, etc are region or zone-specific. So, the rice grown in tropical Africa is, for instance, for the Africans.
Eating foods from foreign soils or copying foreign cultures, ideas, habits and lifestyles that are not in harmony with one’s native soil or zone of birth is a violation of ecological law or order and usually results in confusions, diseases, etc.
Studies have shown that due to the ecological and climatic differences, eating foods imported from other zones of the globe may not be ecologically balanced for the importing country.
Furthermore, such foreign foods often produce radiations that weaken the physical and psychic immunities, thereby exposing such countries to harmful and negative radiations and diseases.
Therefore, when we, Africans, import or eat foods grown in European soils, we should also be ready to suffer some of those diseases that are common among Europeans, which are of course best treated in Europe.
In Nigeria today, most children start their life poorly with cow milk, which is fortified with artificial supplements and white sugar.
It is known that bottle-fed babies double their weight at birth more rapidly and look plump and later obese.
It is seen as a mark of affluence and wellbeing when parents feed their children with breakfast that consists of highly refined carbohydrates, sugary flakes, cereals and milk.
But these kinds of breakfast have been found to rapidly lower the blood sugar levels in these children and usually create more hunger.
Consequently, such children will, during their break period, rush for chocolates, sweets, biscuits, cakes, fizzy drinks or imitation fruit drinks already stocked in their school.
By lunchtime, such children are so hungry that they quickly reach out for their bread and butter, meat pies and all kinds of fatty foods, ice creams and more soft drinks.
As noted by Julia Fitzgerald in her book, Health Sings, published in 1989 by Arrow Books Limited, London: “… when this kind of diet continue for a long time, the pancreas become exhausted, thereby laying the foundation for diseases, like diabetes, which is due to pancreatic insufficiency, and usually, such children suffer, their moods swing, they lose self-control and fail to think straight.
“They may become more aggressive, highly irritable and sometimes they may lose track of distinguishing between good and bad.
“Many believe that this could be partly responsible for the increased levels of behavioural problems, which are prevalent in our civilised society.”
In the past the most common ailments in tropical Africa are the so-called tropical diseases, such as the various parasitic infections, like malaria, etc.
But today, we have various degenerated and diet-related diseases, such as cancer, infertility, arthritis, obesity, hypertension, heart diseases, diabetes, allergic reactions, various types of malignant and non-malignant growths, like fibroids, etc.
All these are attributable to the violation of ecological eating habits.
