The 5 Food Categories Secretly Controlling Your Health (And One Isn't Even Food)

What if I told you that most of what you eat falls into categories that are secretly undermining your health? What if the system you use to choose your meals is based on a lie? I’ve come to believe that our bodies operate on a simple, invisible scoring system, and most of us are failing the test without even knowing it.

To unmask these hidden forces, I’ve broken down everything we consume into five distinct categories. Understanding this system is crucial, because it reveals how we are being controlled by our choices. And the most dangerous category on this list... it isn't even food.

Type 1: The Pure State (300 Points)

This is the benchmark, the gold standard against which all else is measured. This category is for foods that are perfect as nature made them—both delicious and bursting with life. Think of fresh fruits, raw coconuts, crisp carrots, and juicy cucumbers.

Here's how I see their perfect score:

• Taste: 100 points

• Pranic Energy (Life Force): 100 points

• Nutrients: 100 points

• Total Score: 300 points

This is what pure, uncontrolled health looks like. It is the ideal we should strive for, but it’s a state from which we almost always deviate.

Type 2: The Functional Fuel (200 Points)

This second category contains powerful but less palatable raw foods. This is where I place all sprouted grains and pulses—foods that are nutritional titans but lack the immediate, delicious taste of Type 1 foods.

My scoring for this group is a step down:

• Taste: 0 points

• Pranic Energy: 100 points

• Nutrients: 100 points

• Total Score: 200 points

While potent, this is our first compromise. We trade taste for power, a trade-off that sets the stage for more dangerous compromises to come.

Type 3: The Cooked Food Trap (150 Points)

Here is where the real danger begins for most people. This category contains all our cooked meals—the vegetables, grains, and dishes that form the backbone of our daily diet. But I believe cooking is a process of destruction.

Look at the devastating loss in the score:

• Taste: 50 points (natural taste is destroyed, requiring artificial enhancement)

• Pranic Energy: 50 points (life force is extinguished by heat)

• Nutrients: 50 points (vital nutrition is lost in the process)

• Total Score: 150 points

Think about that. The moment you cook your food, you have lost half of its total value. It's a trap we fall into three times a day, willingly sacrificing vitality for convenience and habit.

Type 4: The Mental Poison (100 Points)

Non-vegetarian foods fall into this deeply problematic category. While they provide nutrients, they come at a terrible invisible cost.

My assessment reveals a profound lack:

• Taste: 0 points (in its raw state, it is not palatable)

• Pranic Energy: 0 points (the life force is gone)

• Nutrients: 100 points

• Total Score: 100 points

But the physical score doesn't tell the whole story. The true danger here is psychological. If you eat this food while harboring even a sliver of doubt or guilt—the thought that it’s wrong to kill a living thing—I believe that internal conflict turns the food into a poison inside your own body. Your mind becomes the agent of disease.

Type 5: The Imposter That Steals Your Life

This is the category I warned you about. This is the one that isn’t food at all. It’s a group of imposters we consume as if they were food: tea, coffee, cigarettes, alcohol, and all other narcotics.

These items are not foods; they are thieves. A food is something that gives nutrients to your body. An intoxicant takes the nutrients and energy already stored within you. That temporary rush you feel from a cup of coffee or a cigarette? That’s your body’s emergency savings being violently spent. These substances are bankrupting your health, one sip and one puff at a time, and they never make a single deposit. They masquerade as comfort, but they are draining your very life force.

My Escape Plan: Reclaim Control of Your Health

Now that you see the traps and the imposters, how do you escape? The answer lies in flipping our eating habits on their head, following an old proverb that holds the key to reclaiming control.

“Breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper.”

• Breakfast (King): Start your day by eating your fill of the highest-scoring foods—Type 1 natural and raw foods. Flood your body with pure energy when your digestion is strongest.

• Lunch (Prince): Eat a moderate meal of cooked foods (Type 3). This is your compromise, but it’s a controlled one.

• Dinner (Pauper): Eat as little as possible. A light porridge is perfect. Your body has less power to digest at night, and overeating is a direct path to disease.

By following this simple strategy, you can escape the control these categories have over you. You can consciously choose life force over depletion, nourishment over poison, and freedom over the silent, creeping danger of eating blind.
