Al alhamd we have an opportunity to hear
some information regarding something
that is very lacking in the wasam we're
very good at eating
alhamdulillah and finding the local and
the nearest burger joint these days a
big thing
and everybody wants to find out the the
latest Burger the biggest burger the
challenges now they have challenges now
you see food challenges how much you can
eat within 25 minutes or to an hour Etc
and you get a free t-shirt and free meal
whatever it may
be and literally we are actually eating
ourselves to the
grave and I must say this before that
one in three
Asians by the time they're 45 will have
diabetes type
too if they carry on with the same diet
that they are now lots of high saturated
fats and lots of high
sugars um not just only Asians but I've
seen like the Somalian Community as well
very high carbohydrate diets uh which
are high sugars as well so you're not
only flooding your bloodstream
with glucose from food but you're also
on top of that washing it down with
fizzy drinks that are are created to
make you
sick um if you do your own research
Coca-Cola the way they make it you are
supposed to vomit the way the amount of
sugar and salt in inside the can it
should make you vomit but I put a
chemical inside it to prevent you from
vomiting and if you research um
Coca-Cola hacks on
YouTube you will see that it's a good
toilet
cleaner it's a good it's a good rust
remover it's a a good painkiller for
topical on insect bites and things like
this and in America they they carry
gallons of it in the ambulances why
because it cleans blood very
well so and then we drink this okay we
all like our fizzy drinks I like my Dr
Pepper too but but I have a cheat day
which is on a
Friday and I very I'm very uh conscious
about what I drink without feeling
guilty because guilt is a biggest uh
emotional booster that makes you want to
eat and drink
more now the non-muslims when they go
into stress they drink alcohol go into
drugs priscu whatever they may do we
Muslims we don't do that we just Gorge
ourselves with food and fizzy drinks and
get a high from the food because we eat
so much of the food and the
sugars so I must stress to you though
today that I'm not a doctor or a GP or a
surgeon but I have extensive knowledge
in nutrition in Psychotherapy regarding
nutrition in Psych in Psychotherapy in
sensitive people that come up with
bulimia and overa and things like this
they have eating eating habits wrong
eating habits and health Etc which are
qualifying so whatever information I
propagate for you today it's information
to help
you okay nothing is
guaranteed okay sh in Allah and the Cur
of Allah subhana tala and it's up to a
responsible Muslim to go back after this
and do your research in
health okay so it's important to
understand what nutrition is nutrition
is about providing the body with
nutrients vitamins and minerals that a
body needs to help heal
itself and to
grow so when couples come to me for
marriage counseling one of the questions
I ask them is do you
communicate and they say well yeah we
talk I that's not what I asked and do
you get across what you want to go we
all get caught up in non-communicative
matters that it's very difficult to
communicate to each
other the same way when people come to
me for nutrition or hijama or General
Health and ask them do you get do you
nourish yourself well of course I eat
that's not what I asked you are you
conscious about the food that's on your
plate is it nourishing you or you just
eating to fill up the Gap in your
stomach and feel better because you feel
that you just full up stopping the pangs
of hunger and the prophet said you must
only eat enough to keep your back
straight you know when you're hungry you
seem know your stomach you know nobody
in this country gets that kind of hunger
but in his time people hardly at meat
and hardly at the way we eat
now so they're always
hungry here you can open the fridge and
it's like a it's like a a shop you know
a chicken shop in there or you go next
door and get pizza or whatever there's
food everywhere and because we take it
for granted we just
eat and I remember seeing a say a
saying uh somewhere is written on the
wall that if you don't make time for
health then you must make time for
sickness then sickness will make time
for you you within the sickness it's
like he who prepare who fails to prepare
must prepare to fail this kind of
principle and we Muslims have the Sunnah
way of eating for example the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam said that the
believer eats from one St stomach and
the nonel from Seven stomachs meaning
with greed and just eating just for the
sake of
eating and I'm sure that sometimes we
eat somewhere and we go somewhere else
and someone say come and eat this a
little bit and you eat that then you go
somewhere else come eat a little bit
brother you and you eat you end up
eating so much and you Gorge yourself
and that's very very
unhealthy so anybody here has
diabetes type two so you're a
metamorphing some Med you're on tablets
or you taking it with diet just diet
diet and yourself di just di just diet
okay alhamd so is the doctor who's not
really uh a legal drug Pusher in the
sense cuz that's what I call doctors
legal drug pushers they have their place
with all your doctors out there who who
watch this video and say what's what is
it the brother talking about legal drug
pushers and that's what I call them when
Brothers come to me with GPS I said
you're a legal drug Pusher he said how
can you say that so don't tell me you
prescribe medicine you do not prescribe
medicine you prescribe drugs for the
pharmaceutical company companies and the
drugs do have their place but every
single drug they prescribe has a side
effect if anything happens to you has a
disclaim inside you should have read the
small print that tells you what are the
uh side effects of that
tablet and some of them are very very
dire headaches and depression and can
cause diabetes you know other other for
example uh col statins for cholesterol
for example can give you depression and
then mental problems mind problems and
can cause type two diabetes there's
research that without the without enough
uh sufficient vitamin daily vitamin D3
could cause help well help that you get
diabetes type
two so it's very vital that you do your
research don't just eat but recognize
what you're eating now and I would never
say to you change your diet I would say
to you change your
lifestyle which includes your
prayers praying on time
praying in the Masid um if they if they
if they're lacking then you have to fix
that so you are a machine that requires
mental spiritual and physical
stimulation and input for that machine
to run
properly these days people are suffering
a lot of mental illnesses because why
there's something wrong with the mind no
in the western sense yes cuz psychology
is the knowledge of the mind but the
reason the mind is
sick because the heart is
sick and Islamic psychology and
Psychotherapy is this you can't say
Islamic psychology because psychology
literally means knowledge of the mind
but this should be hearty you know
kalology that's a nice word is it
kalology the knowledge of the heart and
it's very very important that we
understand this that the heart gets sick
as the prophet said said alhi wasallam
said in a Hadith that there is a lump of
Flesh in the body that it becomes sick
the whole body becomes sick and becomes
pure the whole body becomes pure and
that's the
heart so
so and this is vital to understand this
that we Muslims have to work on the
heart you have to nourish the
heart the nutrients of the heart is
what and Salah and members of Allah
subhana wa
tala you know rarely rely the members of
Allah do do do do the Believers find
find rest that we have when you so when
you do say 100 times don't you breathe
don't don't you
go don't don't you that happens to me
when I get stressed out and you do your
and you do do you know Etc you take a
sigh and you just you just feel just
relaxed because the heart has had
nutrients to deal with it nothing wrong
with the mind I mean there is obviously
some issues that people do have that are
serious issues psychiatric issues but
that are some
the general populace and ourselves we
get mind sick because we get heart sick
and it's important to do to to nourish
the heart with the right nourishment
which is not music as one scholar said
musac so in proac you have musac you
know which which which which mongs you
out for
example and all these tablets you take
for depression the majority of the input
the ingredient is
fluide and fluide
is a is a dumbing has a dumbing effect
it makes you listless it makes you
apathetic can't bother it you know and
Hitler was going to use the sodium
fluide and put in the water supply to
America to what Mong you out but who's
putting the water supply now the water
supply you're drinking now the tap water
contains sodium fluoride and they say to
you oh it's good for your
teeth and there's lot research out there
a lot of research out the sodium fluide
it has does much more um Pro problematic
for the body if you want good fluide you
drink green
tea but the water companies they collect
all the water from the sewage as well
from the toilet all of it and they
filter as much as they can they put in
pest in panate chlorine you know bleach
sodium hypochlorite and sodium fluoride
and they sell it to you for 20,000%
profit and you is and you find out why
you become sick and
infertile and affecting affecting the
physical aspect of the man and the
woman don't take my word for it this is
all research so whatever I say to you
today I've researched it but I can't go
into it haven't got enough time so
whatever I say to you write it down and
go and do your own research it's it's
vital I don't use tap water for cooking
or drinking I use it for washing and
cleaning if I can get away with that I
could do that as well but it's too
expensive so it's
important
so diabetes basically is
when you have flooded your body
with sugar you your your blood glucose
levels are high then the insulin is
produced by the pancreas so that the
insulin can take the glucose and put
into the cells but sometimes there's not
enough insulin body doesn't produce
enough insulin or you get insulin
sensitivity okay and then what happens
is after it has done that generally
speaking and then there's more insulin
in the body it acts as a telling it acts
like telling the body to store
fat so and you don't put fat on because
you're eating saturated fat or fatty
things you're getting fat because of the
sugar which which spikes your blood
increases your blood sugar levels so
necessary for the body to produce a lot
more insulin than necessary if you ate
normally if you nourished yourself
normally the levels of insulin that is
produced by the pancreas is enough just
to take the O the glucose and put into
your cells to do the job
and if you have too much uh flood of
insulin and the body can't handle it
then it goes into a into this into this
into this mode whereby you get diabetes
and the kidneys have to take over as
well and most diabetics majority of
diabetics feel very dehydrated why in
order for the kidneys to remove the
glucose through the kidney and through
the urine urinary tract you has to use a
lot of water and if you're not a person
that drinks a lot of water N I would
suggest you drink a lot of coconut water
it rehydrates you
better then you'll get the body will
start taking water from your from your
mind from you from the brain there a lot
of water you get
headaches and you get a dry mouth Etc
and most people who are diabetic will
feel this because the kidneys needs a
lot of water to remove the the glucose
from the
blood in the olden days the way they
tested for suar sugar in the diabetes or
over overburdened body with sugar or
glucose is they used to taste the urine
if you tasted sweet that means the
kittens are taking the excess glucose
and flushing it
out now there's blood tested to check
your blood sugar level in the morning
and then you come back for a glucose
tolerance test and then you check it
after two hours after you give glucose
to drink and see how much the difference
is between the you know fasting blood
sugar levels and then the eating uh
blood sugar levels so it's it's it's
important to and again I reiterate the
one in three statistically of Asians in
this country by the time they're
45 will get diabetes type two because of
because of the diet and it's not
just you know the agan is not
monopolizing on Diabetes you got a lot
of other cultures and other Creeds and
other uh people that get it as well but
because of because of their lifestyle
now as you're young as you're younger
I'm not saying that children get don't
get diabetes of course they do pregnant
women get diabetes too I'm speaking
generally if you look about if you wrot
if you were to write down what you eat
on a weekly basis then wrote it down by
the time the end of the week you look
end of the week and you think did I
really eat that much that many carbs
that many cans of drink that many fizzy
fruit juice even fruit juice itself it's
full of fructose is sugar you will spike
your blood even if you make it yourself
you make a lot of green
juice and that's cucumber lettuce
spinach celery green pepper peers green
apples if you want to sweeten it a
little bit then add a bit of apple juice
or a few apples to sweeten it even like
the killa you know theill you know and
meti yeah this these these stuff these
these kind of vegetables all right is a
bit a bit K it's a bit bitter and
everything but it's healthy for
you it it really does clean the
blood but how many of us are responsible
enough to to to take this into
consideration oh it doesn't taste nice
until you become sick oh I should have I
should have taken a bit more
care another Hadith of Al wasallam
saying that two PE that two things that
we take that we take for granted time
and
health this is why he said we should
take care of our health before become
sick and our money before become
poor because it's coming the food you
think you know if we lived in a country
whereby the food wasn't as much as it is
now we would we would take we w't take
it as granted as much as we
now you know we go and get very simple
takeaway foods like chicken and chips
and a can of drink that you're spiking
your blood sugar there's no nutrients in
there really and except for the lettuce
they put inside the chicken
burger and a tomato
maybe so it's important to really think
about our lifestyle changes and you
should really now after today I give
more information that you you tomorrow
you you start as you mean to go
on yeah I like my
chocolate my wife knows I love my
chocolate so I've I've gone from the
cheap sugary chocolate to 95 90% uh dark
chocolate oh it doesn't taste very nice
well add some dry fruit with it I like
it but the thing is because we're so
addicted to
Sugar Sugar is a
drug scientifically affects the same
part of the brain as cocaine
does the same part of the brain but
don't tell you that the sugar is a drug
why because they're making billions out
of it permissibly they're making they're
making billions and millions out of
it so now there is Alternatives like
coconut sugar for example which the body
can utilize without spiking the blood
too much did you know that those of you
are diabetic you can eat sweet potatoes
which are better than you better than
English
potatoes which doesn't Spike the blood
so much but one minute brother isn't
sweet potato sweet though yes but it
works the opposite way doesn't Spike the
blood so much as the the other Potato
does even though sweet potatoes most
sweeter than normal
potatoes taking green apple juice green
vegetable juice including carilla meti
and all sorts of the um organic apple
cider vinegar for
example these all this this help your
diabet diabetes and cholesterol and fat
burning and IBS and acid problems etc
etc
so we can't be like children we can't
you know except the mom come along and
say come on eat this is good for you you
get to a certain age no one no one else
says that unless unless your wife is
caring or your husband is caring or
children are caring no one is going to
do it for
you your mother may steal to it if she's
alive Allah give her a long life you
know the mother will still do it to have
you eaten the first thing mothers say is
what have you eaten any caring person
would make sure the other person
eats this shows you care is your belly
full are you you you know have you eaten
growing up in my household the first you
walk in have you eaten first thing in a
Turkish household there's always there's
food on the on the cooker always food on
the
cooker so some of us are very fortunate
to grow up in an environment whereby the
food is healthy in a Mediterranean diet
not just a Turkish diet or the cypriate
diet or you got Italian Spanish all the
Mediterranean very healthy why olive oil
but the olive oil we get now is
refined and we use sunflower oil is
better than vegetable oil but it's still
the same same rubbish still refined oil
best thing now is coconut oil that's the
best thing on the market cold pressed
first pressed extra virgin coconut oil
is the best thing for brushing your
teeth with for fat burning mixing with
cinnamon fat burning or cooking with it
yeah but I don't like the taste you're
not a child
brother you know incorporate no one
saying change your lifestyle like this
but incorp slowly you know stay cut down
so I'm going to have a car drink like my
treat there is a Friday I have a Dr
Pepper brother how can you be talking
about about you have a drink that's my
treat but I don't mind having that
because 90% of the time I I eat
healthily green juices and apple cider
vinegar and I make sure you know the
food ever goes down my gulet and my
family's gulet is good
stuff before I used to binge at
nighttime crisps and well not so much
crisp but sweet things sugary things
then I bought myself oh yeah Cranberries
for example
dried cranberries but you look at the
back
fructose glucose corn syrup this is such
a dangerous product it's in everything
it's in a glucose corn syrup is in
everything anything sweet is all the
fruit juices um the the the fizzy drinks
could incorporate all glucose
syrup and he spiking your blood all the
time 35 grams of sugar in one can of
drink one can of Coke
let let what three
tablespoons if I gave you a glass of
water and I put three in there would you
take that every single day you look at
if you no no no that's and and then on
top of that six spoons of two
tablespoons of salt on top of
that to balance out the sugar
taste we have to really take be
responsible about it really but be be
you know um how can we
say yeah be responsible about it know
what you you know what's on your plate
what's what's going down once it's in is
you can't take it out
again you know so watch what what what
what watch what you're
eating exercise for example how many of
how many of us you know exercise
regularly you know go swimming for
example or you know push-ups and sit-ups
and something hardly so we end up
fattening fattening fattening ourselves
up for the
kill you know and it's very very
important oh I get my exercise brother I
pray five times a
day no
problem but you're not doing it fast
enough to the heart rate to
increase not that you should do fast
enough I'm just saying it's not exercise
is it really you maybe keep your your
joints Supple because you're you're
bending and genu flexing etc etc but you
need to you I hate
running my brother says come come around
my house and we go running I said I hate
running I think it's boring I rather go
on the tread meal or do some uh uh rows
or you know um push-ups etc etc you know
we need to really skipping
skipping so but we're just eating
imagine eating and you then you just
you're not exercising you're eating more
carbs than you're necessary more carbs
than
necessary and on top of that you're not
you're not eating you're not doing
anything to keep healthy you feel
healthy because the body is is working
on overtime now it's like the boiler Rel
the nuts are coming off slowly but
surely steaming up ready to explode you
don't know that until you get diabetes
and you get cholesterol problems you get
IBS problems you may get crohn's disease
and things like this may get
cancer cancer is prevailing it's like a
cold now it's like a
flu everyone's getting cancer it's
unnecessary unnecessary to get cancer
there's different types of cancer
obviously but cancer is a fungus so when
you hear the word cancer don't call it
cancer anymore call it a fungus
call it a
fungus you know heard of
candida candid is like a yeast and if
you're not taking care of your gut as
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
said what he said the gut your gullet
your gut is
death and most illnesses 99% of the
immune system is helped by your your
stomach your your your your your
digestive tract especially the
colon the colon is the end result of
your food which it absorbs the water
before you before you
defecate if that if if the bacteria get
imbalanced between good and bad and
bloatedness you know you eat and you get
bread and you eat things and you get
bloated that's because you got bad
bacteria in then you're feeding the bad
bacteria and they're defecating
gas they're defecating gas so you get
bloated so probiotic bacteria you need
to you need to take something called
kefir Keir is like you can get yogurt
for
example and you can put some mix it with
a bit of water and just leave it there
for a few days or even a week and it
starts bubbling up because it's getting
fizzy and it becomes fizzy because the
good bacteria is growing now and that's
producing carbon dioxide and when you
drink it people say yeah but you get ill
like that no because you go to the
toilet a few times because the bad
bacteria is killing the the good
bacteria is killing the bad bacteria and
it has to come out somehow after a
couple of days of maybe you might get
you know the runs or diarrhea for
example it balances out and you don't
get bloated any
anymore so probiotic bacteria checking
the the the the healthiness of your
gut candid there is a yeast if it starts
growing and it goes into your
bloodstream goes into your cells and it
starts growing as a fungus and it loves
sweet things it loves sugar it thrives
on sugar and carbohydrate and it lives
in an acidic environment so it eats
sugar and produces acid hence the term
aggressive
cancer but to red uce that is to keep
your body alkaline which mean lots of
green vegetables cut down the sugar cut
down the
carbohydrates you know no bread no pasta
no potatoes rice okay 150 to 200 grams
of cooked rice per day if you feel a bit
tired because there's not enough
carbohydrates coming to give you the
energy then you can have a
banana if you find yourself putting a
bit weight on even though you're not
eating enough carbohydrates eat a bit
more rice so B more energy to burn the
fat it's about n knowing the nutrition
it's about knowing this and researching
it and knowing your knowing yourself you
go to the doctor and you think he knows
you doctor doesn't know
everything they don't know everything he
go to the doctor sometimes if what he
knows he knows he doesn't goes I don't
know he could be like this it could be
like that if you don't know who knows
then and they've only been around 200
years near enough so who's the
alternative Medics them or the
traditional people before the doctors
came they were dying they didn't know
how to treat themselves they treat them
because they at Natural Foods no
processed foods all these e numbers and
whatever Natural Foods they
ate which the body can utilize in a good
way apple cider vinegar an apple a day
keeps a doctor away it's a good it's a
true
saying an appleid of vinegar is not like
where you buy from from like tesos the
clear and all the tury shops or or the
um other countries vineger appleid is
appleid of vinegar but it's not the one
that you should take for health the
health one is UNP piz it's raw it's
straight from the apples straight into
the bottle and so to you it's organic
with the mother the mother is the the
the the bits in it which like good
enzymes minerals Etc vitamins that you
need and even though it's 5% acetic acid
it's over 60% potassium so it hydrates
you as well and it helps balance out
your acidic stomach so I'm balancing my
acid reflux I'm B I'm balancing my acid
problem in my stomach with more acid but
it works it
works apple cider vinegar is good stuff
it's high it's not medicine but it's
high-end nutrition it helps balance the
blood sugar it helps remove fat helps
balance out the the cholesterol in the
body very
important won't go too much more into um
menitis because
um yeah supplements for
example do you think you get your daily
vitamin and mineral intake from the food
that you eat after you've cooked it and
killed
it once you've cooked food that's it
it's done that's why you this this this
this new fed that's been out for a long
time uh raw
foods who's got a juicer at home here a
juicer three of you that's
cool everyone should have a juicer at
home everyone should have a juicer at
home every Muslim at least they should
know about health and you juice every
few days make a liter of
juice you know one or two liters a week
and you drink half a glass one glass a
day whatp of juice
you slow juicer because the research you
got ordinary juicers with centrifugal
juices which spin it really fast and
oxidize the juice and they said that it
reduces its nutrient content but a slow
juice slow juice crushes it so you just
you there's so much oxygenation
happening so you get more of the
nutrients Allah I got a slow juice you
can buy it for 60 quid up to 300 £400
easy I think I'm sure everyone can
afford £60 50 Quid to buy juicer for
their health just cut down on the
rubbish you're eating and save the money
and buy for the health and if you were
to if you were to just juice every day
and have some carbohydrates and a bit of
protein you're safe you don't you know
in order for us to get vegetables down
our gulet every day to be healthy you
need about this much and that's painful
I mean no one can eat this much
vegetable so juice this much and you get
about a liter liter and a half and that
last you for a few days
you
know don't if if you left it if you if
it becomes bad that means you're not
drinking it enough it takes about 3 days
for it to go bad but if you put some
lemon juice in it some vitamin C or
escob acid you can buy in powder form
then it is a preservative and you get
your vitamin C as
well so there's a lot of stuff out there
that you can really research and really
look look after yourself and Islam
teaches us about prevention but these we
brainwashed if I get sick subconsciously
you don't say this but subconsciously
you say it it's like the person who says
I say smoking is Haram everything's
Haram you know but what can we do that
kind of attitude so the same at attitude
we have is if I get sick I go to the
doctor gives me medicine I'll be I be
I'll be cured no but everything the
doctor you go to the doctor and you say
to them I've got this issue that issue
okay take this you come back six weeks
later it do work okay try this oh what
am I get a
pig you're giving me
drugs you know and the philosophy they
have the philosophy when you say to them
oh when I've spoken to doctors and GPS
and legal drug pushers as I say I said
well every single thing has a has a side
effect yeah but the good outweighs the
bad I said if I gave you a glass of
juice and I said to you it's
got. 1% cyanide in it would you drink it
of course you wouldn't yeah but the good
outweigh your principle is the good
outweighs the bad so this I'm going to
take this medicine so-called medicine
which is a drug and I'm going to hope I
don't get the side
effects what is that basically making
money for the pharmaceutical
companies and they're not going to tell
you that there cancer has a cure you go
look on YouTube diabetes you know you
will cure your diabetes within three
months if you if if you're if you're if
you're disciplined enough you can cure
your cancer go have a look at the people
who got cancer on YouTube and how they
how they um cured cured themselves with
sodium
bicarbonate why sodium bicarbonate
because it alkalines the blood which
stops the acid from the Fungus from
growing in the acid could you alkaline
it the
body so it's vital that we really take
the ball by its horns and do what needs
to be done and not become CH like
children and do what we feel like doing
until you become sick and you could
become sick and say oh I got
flu and 3 days okay I take three days
off work and I'll be okay but that's
unnecessary you don't have to have flu
but it's become such a norm oh I've got
flu soon it's going to be like I've got
cancer you know I remember a story you
know some people are proud of to become
sick because why they like the attention
is they're seeking approval with it I
remember I was in a Turkish uh food
center and there's an uncle in front of
me looking for yogurt I said Uncle can I
help you he said I'm looking for yogurt
my son I said well Uncle he goes no no
but I want one without potassium sobate
because it makes my stomach lemony like
ex makes me like acidic so I found it
for him and then he goes to me you know
I've got a heart problem I feel like
saying to him well
congratulations you know it's like it's
like when the way they say it to you
especially in my community the Turkish
Community they they like to boast about
their illnesses oh I've got a heart
problem you know I got diabetes you know
it's it's like saying it's like it's
like they want to cuddle and they want
to like them attention they don't you
don't have to have these
illnesses these are these are these are
post traditional medicine illnesses
because of the
society and the packet foods and the
processed foods and I I went to a barers
today and a Brother's having tea he's
Breakfast tea and digestive
biscuits now don't get me wrong the best
biscuit out there is digestive
biscuit and you got to have five and one
you can't have one you got to have five
and dob it you know you got to in the
tea one that's the taste of it but come
on for breakfast you need protein you
just you just gone through like an 8
hour fast the last time you at was like
9:00 in the
morning um in the evening evening so
you've woken up at fudger say like 9
hours later the body's craving nutrients
now and tea and biscuits I mean it
doesn't work that way you that when you
get fat and diabetes wonder you wonder
why you're good you you can't say well I
got diabetes it's not disease that you
catch it's not a virus you caused it
with your responsibility and your lack
of
knowledge it's
prevention it's prevention you never
blindfold yourself or your children and
turn them to walk across the M1 whenever
they feel like it but that's how we're
walking through life that's how we're
living life
blindfolded you going to take
responsibility for it you want to take
your son or your daughter and say
there's a big
forest and I'll meet you if you go just
I'll meet you on the other side and it's
full of
dangers this is life so Allah's given
the Quran and Sunnah for us to guide our
souls for life and one of those to
guidance is
nutrients is
nutrients and it's very very important
so first of all spiritual
nourishment okay we have to sort out our
prayers or some of
us if you're not doing in your Masid try
and pray the Mas as possible if you're
not doing your sunah try to increase
your Sunnah
Etc and then mental mental Nar m is you
are what you read and in cognitive
behavior
therapy in in that aspect of
psychotherapy is the principle is you
change your thinking to change your
behavior so you are what you read you
are what you
eat you are what you see what you hear
you are a you are a end result of all
those years of input of whether it be
nutritional non-nutritional input
non-nutritional mental input
non-nutritional physical input now it's
time to change and get into
nutritional and we have it there we have
all the information there in the Quran
and Sunnah and from the D knowledge in
health but we don't utilize it because
what we think we know it all we think we
know everything Ah that's just an old
wife's
tale tap water for
example tap water we got about 10
minutes before we stop in for um who
drinks tap
water well let me let me edicate you as
they say tat water as I said earlier on
is a collection of every kind of liquid
wherever they can even the sewage Etc
and they filter it filter it filter it
add the chemicals and sell it to 20,000%
profit yeah but it's clean is
it don't do your own research if you
distill 3 lers of tap water you will end
up with half to 3/4 of a glass of yellow
liquid and that's someone else's we I
got to be blunt with you or feces and
all that stuff is in there because you
can't see it doesn't mean it's not in
there they can't filter it absolutely
100% yeah it's they can't filter 100% if
they could they wouldn't put those
chemicals in it potassium permanganate
and sodium fluoride and and and
bleach but they can't a well this
country to take good point it's the
Queen's land she'll never let you to do
that but you take you buy tap you buy
bottle water oh what about the plastic
and the BPA well I would rather have
that because then I can I can I can
counteract the effects of BPA through my
diet but I'm not going to drink someone
else's wee wee or cook with it but what
about filtering it well if they could if
you could filter it then if if they
could if they can't feel too complete
then how are you going to do
it and if you boil it you you're only
reducing the content and what's
evaporated is what's evaporated what's
left is still that all you're doing is
killing the bacteria but you're still
still there it's still
there and you can buy water now I mean
Highland Spring is good water is taking
Scot Scottish organic land you know
avian is a bit expensive but bottled
water is good for you if you find like
Evan and Turkish wat over8 8.2 pH value
which is alkaline
coconut water for drinking for example
and I know none of us here drink more
than two liters of water a day hardly
even half a liter howly two glasses so
you're always dehydrated always dry here
always getting headaches always feeling
tired and don't don't mistake tiredness
for you know being tired it's not you're
dehydrated most of the
time you're not taking enough enough
hydration and coconut water hydrates you
immediately it contains CU when you lose
when you Lo When you sweat or you ex you
lose you lose electrolytes like
magnesium potassium sodium once you get
dehydrated why do they give you a drip
and not just give you water it's not
it's not
sufficient they give you a drip of
sodium potassium of
electrolytes to balance out the body
sugar now do you know you can kill
yourself with drinking too much water
cuz it over dilutes the electrolytes in
the blood people have died from
this so it's about a balance and that's
with everything in our Dean it's a
balance coconut water has the same
constituency as your Plasma in your
blood and they used to use it as
straight as a drip straight from the as
a
drip they can use that as a drip
naturally so incorporate that in your
diet 2 L of of coconut water a week you
know 2 L of green juice a week you know
carbohydrate if you're not training and
your body your your job is not physical
physical aspect your body is not really
it needs to do the physical work and
your the food I will guarantee the food
you're eating is overeating too much
carbs you don't need that many
carbs if you doing a physical labor or
you're training as well and all that
then you need carbs obvious you need the
energy for it but all we're doing is
just eating eating eating getting sick
or getting fat that's it there is no
other there's no gray area here in this
point because if it comes out in in in
the L you know your fees and defecation
all that that's that's that's the extra
extraction but then what's what's being
taken out they just put in it's just fat
excess fat
unnecessary so prayers exercise
nutrition you know taking care of your
heart for example
sleeping I don't mean sleeping 12 hours
but how many of us here get eight hours
I don't maybe once in once uh maybe a
couple of every a couple of weeks I
might get a I might get a eight hours on
9 hours and then I feel
guilty and 5 hours is enough for me from
personally five six as long as I don't
wake up I wake up once or twice and I'm
bit and I wake up like this sort of
thing so to to to the whole point of
today the what we can take away yeah is
self- responsibility self-accountability
you know one of the things that Allah
will ask us on day of judgment before we
move an inch we're going to move an inch
this way or anyway until we answer five
things is our youth and how we spent it
our health and how we how we took care
of our bodies how we took care of our
wealth how we was it Halal or Haram did
disseminate knowledge how we got it etc
etc as whatam
said but we're just it's like you know
we shouldn't be like leaves in the wind
uh you know in the tree where the wind
blows this way and we blow that way when
the wind blows this way we blow that way
until somebody comes up and says Brother
come on shake you up oh thanks BR than I
needed that then you go back to a leaf
again in the
wind you know we have we have to take
responsibility you know for ourself
first our family community and the umah
but we can't say I'm taking care of
myself first you know Dean is
comprehensive you take care of yourself
your family the community and the um as
much as you
can and I'm sure most of us now can do
much more for ourselves healthwise
spiritual wise our families healthwise
spiritual wise and community and um than
we are doing
now much
more much
more you know being moderate in eating
being moderate and eating your food as
as I
mentioned and there's a we know the
Hadith of where he said that um like
what he said that you you eat a third
food third of uh water and third for air
and there's a good story about that and
I always told his story in 2004 was and
there was Brothers eating and we were
just talking one brother was telling a
story that he was somewhere before and
there was another uh Gathering of eating
one brother was a big brother masallah
and he was eating one brother said to
him
brother don't you know the Hadith
ofam where you have to have third for
food your stomach third for food third
for air and third for drink and a
brother to her and said yes my third is
different than yours
though so here we understand two things
one that when we disseminate knowledge
the person that hears it may know the
and the understanding of it more than
you
do yeah and secondly that we have to
take the Hadith in in literally as in
consideration that not to eat too
much not to eat too much yeah the M eats
one stomach and the
non the nonbeliever in seven
stomachs now it's like the other way
around you got these Health Fanatics out
there non-muslim and then Muslims just
eating from Seven
stomachs you know a big burger joint
here the big you know the biggest
burger competitions just doesn't doesn't
doesn't make
sense and there a lot of I mean there's
a lot of you know diseases out there
that we can get just from from uh and
also I would say the other way around
there's a lot of disease out there we
can prevent diseases from
nutrition in the same way that if we
don't get nourished enough we open
ourselves up for the kill we get all
sorts of different and diabetes and
cholesterol and IBS are not things that
you catch they say it's a disease it's
not a disease it's a
disease but it's not
disease it's because we have lack of
knowledge and it can be cured you can
you can you can you know if you
degenerate you can regenerate
at least you got no pancreas at all and
you got type one and you have to inject
yourself there's different types
obviously but generally speaking we
don't have to have the M the main uh
diame diabetic problem which is type two
diabetes we don't have to have that we
don't have to have a cholesterol problem
we don't have to have IBS and things
stomach problem if You' got a stomach
problem it's because of diet it's of
nutrition or or or lack of
nutrition detoxing for example
you know exercising sweating going to a
SW sweating is a detox through through
your skin hijama which we talk about
after ass as well is is a detox is one
of the best detox known to
man it's vital exercise is a detox you
can use nutrition as a detox you know
you can use you don't have to exercise
for example give an an example here that
you can used diet can be used to shape
your body
everyone has what they call an Adonis
self as you're created in your muscular
for whatever muscle you have can be you
know you could look good if you check
your diet and you can get cut up and
have a six-pack and whatever that
everyone's chasing for by a diet
alone but that's you don't have to know
how to how to um uh how can I shock the
body if you know how to do dieting and
nutrition you can shock the body and
everyone's IND idual once you get on
this path of nutrition all that you
learn how to do this and things like
that for example if you're on a healthy
diet for about 3 months then you go on
like a few days of just garbage you know
of junk that's shocking the body then
come back onto nutrition then the body
will just adjust itself and start losing
weight coconut oil will lose weight
cinnamon will make you lose weight apple
cider vinegar will make you lose weight
not eating the wrong foods will make you
lose
weight and it's vital you know it's
vital
and I end up with I end on this on this
point on on this on this uh beginning of
this topic is and eat of the good things
which we provided for you eat of what is
lawful and wholesome on the
earth and I don't think a nice 995 Mega
Burger is
wholesome I like a burger you know but I
know the reason I'm saying it whatever I
tell you to do I have still have my
Treats but I'm just trying to that make
your life
95% you know healthy
and then you can treat yourself now and
again you don't have to treat yourself
it's unnecessary but if you want to then
you can say okay I'm going have a burger
cuz I had one for like 3 months four
months for
example you know Wholesome foods organic
foods oh organic foods expensive not
really not really because how much how
much of vegetables do you eat every
single
day three or four times a week so buy
the organic stuff and if it's too much
and it's going to leave it in get get
bad for example packet of organic kale
packet of spinach etc etc things like is
is a lot but if you juice it all like I
said you make one and a half 2 lit of
juice and you can finish that within a
few days a glass or two a day and you
get healthy at the same
time and let's stop there in for
