BEASTLY TALES

THE NATURAL PATH

Roger Rotund had an incredible fund,
Of knowledge concerning health that stunned,
Observers concerning themselves with the work of the Naturopath.
His repertoire was wide, didn’t do things by half.
He believed that people are what they ate,
Certainly some looked as though they also swallowed the plate.
Salads he preferred, he’d have many bites,
Never, no never, forgetting the electrolytes.
Careful to note food types one avoids,
Particularly with view to flavonoids.
In Naturopathy he’d reached the pinnacle of human endeavour,
Preparing souffles as light as a feather,
He firmly eschewed the so-called Western Diet,
Never succumbing to partaking on the quiet.
“I cannot abide saturated fats,”
So said Roger, as he studied vitamin stats.

Thiocyanates should never be underestimated,
Whilst preparing food, soon to be plated.
“And I have well in mind most of the time,”
“The absolute importance of the correct coenzyme.”
“Tell me, how do you expect your health to advance?”
“If you fail to give adequate attention to antioxidants?”
“Malabsorption is a destructive syndrome,”
“Even when preparing one’s food at home!”

“When we cook, we should never be shoddy,”
“To select ingredients to calm mind and body.”
“My firm belief is that modification of lifestyle,”
“Could well head off a condition most vile!”
“Whether you be poor, or with considerable wealth,”
“You should definitely follow a cellular approach to health.”
But harken now! You are what you eat!
So have that Croquembouche Cake, it’ll suit you a treat!
