3. Zoroastrian Tradition holds food from trees to be especially healthy and sacred.
The "Tree" and "Tree food" is held in high regard in many cultures in history.

6 cans of beer = 6 cans of cola = 900 calories = 3 hours on the stationary bike.
5. Our bodies are designed to ONLY DRINK WATER. No fruit juice, no soda, no alcohol, no ice cream, no milk products. Eat vegetarian and drink only water.

salt, and/or sugar.
Food is NOT a Reward.
