All right guys, welcome back to the channel. If you're new, Marlon's Bobby, guys, today an extremely fascinating video. We're going to watch Food Habits of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, by a rational believer. Yet again, if you're new to this channel, you do not know that I explored the field of nutrition extensively. I can say with confidence that I tried every single diet there is on this planet. Keto, carnivore diet, primal, low-carb, high-carb, vegan, raw vegan and whatnot. I did it all and therefore now I'm in a place where I'm of the firm conviction that we need animal foods to thrive. A predominantly animal-based diet is the healthiest for me personally and I make the argument that we as human beings do need animal foods, quality animal foods to be optimally healthy. I do not believe in restricting meats, organs, etc. for the sake of introducing more plants into our diet. However, nowadays, no, I do not eat an exclusive meat-based diet any longer. Back in the day, yes, I ate only meat, nothing else, no plant matter whatsoever and that diet was great as well for a period of time. Nowadays, I do eat meats and plants, but nevertheless, predominantly animal foods. Anyways, the intro is long enough as it is. I'm very curious to find out what the Prophet Muhammad recommended for food. With no further ado, let's have a look. If you want to be healthy and live healthy, follow the diet and the sleeping pattern of Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. True. Aisha A. B. Allah says, Never for two days in a row, never for two consecutive days did the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam ever eat barley. Good. If you look into the agricultural revolution of our society, if you look into what has happened since we introduced plants on a mass scale, since we introduced so many grains into our diet, this is when tooth decay started. A great book on this would be Western A Price, Nutrition and Physical Degeneration. I highly recommend you to look into this, how those grains actually damage our teeth and with that, our overall health. So, therefore, this is a great advice to never eat barley every single day. Barley. That's good. Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. If he would eat all this talk about carbs and protein, so if any carbs he would eat, he would be barley. Right. But even then, on occasions. Good. The Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam was a very organic eater, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. He ate dates, he drank water, he drank fresh milk. He was a person who would enjoy the luxuries of Allah s.w.t. On that note, the dates are carbs as well. So, it's not only the barley that brings you carbs, but the dates are great carb sources because they bring glucose into your bloodstream. Fantastic quick burst of energy. And on top of that, they come with essential minerals. This is something that you will lose, especially in the desert sweating all the time. So, the dates are a great carb source in this context and way better than the barley. He loved a thread, which was a meat filled dish on buttered bread with broth. He used to love the excessive amount of soup. Some of his favorite vegetables were things like pumpkin and cucumber, a hadith that mentioned watermelon. He loved meat. Very good. But that's no reason for excessive consumption because Aisha radiallahu anha relates at the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. It's very good. All that he listed there, the watermelon, the cucumbers, all of this is fruit and all of this is hydrating to the body. So, not only in a desert context, in general, this fantastic to hydrate the body, a fantastic source of minerals, etc. You name it. And in combination with meat, you're really on a good path. This is a way to improve your health dramatically. Just give it a go. Try the meat and fruit diet. Cut out the grains, cut out the refined foods and simply eat fruits and meat. You're gonna be surprised how healthy you get. Allahu alaihi wa sallam, as well as they, the family, would only occasionally and rarely receive meat. In one hadith of Bukhari, she says, for two whole months, for two whole months, the fire in the hearth of the home of the messenger of Allah would not be lit because there was no solid food to cook. For two whole months. All our food was dates and water for two months and occasionally we would receive a gift of milk. Alright, this comes from a time of poverty, apparently, a time where they didn't had much food and throughout those days, they survived on dates, water and milk. Of course, this would be not optimal in the long run. So, I would rather look into the dietary advice prior to this, where we heard about fruits, meats, etc. That's why when they would have meat, Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam loved meat, but Aisha radiallahu an herself explained in one hadith that you would only occasionally come to them. This is why he left meat. So, in this hadith, Aisha radiallahu an her says, never did the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam eat his fill from barley for two consecutive days until the day he left this world. The Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam wasn't a person who would gorge, he wasn't a person who would chug, he was a person who would sip, he was a person who taught us to breathe in between our sips of water, that when we ate, that we would eat a third, a third and a third. A third for food, a third for our drink, and a third for our air and breathing. He was a person who was a healthy eater, he never ate alone. And that's a really important thing, he was very social in his eating. There's no hadith where you ever hear that at any time he ever had a meal that wasn't shared with others. He ate sallallahu alaihi wa sallam with his hands, not just because there weren't utensils, there were hadith where he ate with utensils, but because his hands it limited the kind of quality. He taught us not to blow on our food, not to be so greedy that we can't wait until it cools down a little bit sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. He taught us that the person who serves others should be the last to eat, and therefore it was an honor to make sure that everyone was well fed and watered before a person considered their own needs. At the same time, if you're eating in a social setting and everybody eats the same like this, you won't over or under eat, so like this you can keep healthy eating veterans. There were times where the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam taught us to restrict food, and he would fast every Monday and Thursday, the 13th, 14th, and 15th of every lunar calendar, and of course the month of Ramadan and other special days like Ashura in the month of Muharram. You know the holistic approach of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam is really what is key. The Prophet sallallahu was a person who taught us that food is one of the primary reasons for illness, if we eat too much of it, or if we eat the wrong the wrong types. Never did the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam fill his stomach. Never did he eat to his fill from barley or from meat, unless he was a guest with other people. So he was eating with other people as a guest, then maybe he would eat a bit more, but normally he would never eat to his fill. I'll give you three important verses that are a benefit that you can see reflected in the level of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. Allah says كلوا وشربوا ولا تصرفوا. Eat and drink, but don't be excessive. Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam says وجعلنا الليلة ليباسة والنهارة معاشا. I've made the night a place of repose and rest, and your daytime a place of activity. And therefore eating at night wasn't in the habit of the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, that was something from the active part of our day. And third and most importantly Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam says وجعلنا من الماء كل شيء الحي. I've created out of water every living thing. You and I, we need to drink much more water. The Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam an authentic hadith, he said ثم لا تسألنا يوم اذن عن النعيم. One day you'll be questioned about the excessive joys of love, the bounties of life. And he said شربة ما انبارد في يوم الحار. One of those joys that he relishes sallallahu alaihi wa sallam is a drink of cold water on a hot day. All right guys, and this is it for today's video. Very surprising to me personally. I expected much more grains. If we look at the time of Jesus or at least from what we hear of the Bible, is that they were breaking bread. So they were eating bread apparently quite often. Of course, the bread in that day and age looked very different from the bread that we have nowadays. It was fermented in most instances a much healthier food in comparison to the white bread that we have nowadays. Nevertheless, that being said, looking at the Prophet s diet here, I have to say that it is extremely healthy because in order to function perfectly most of us need all three macronutrients and of course all the micronutrients, minerals, etc. etc. The three macronutrients would be carbs, fats and proteins. Some people do thrive on a ketogenic diet where they eat only fats and proteins. Nevertheless, especially in a hot environment like the desert, you do not want to abstain from carbohydrates, which are like the name says already hydrating to you. Of course, however, when you eat cooked starches, cooked grains, those carbohydrates can be very dehydrating and like that you can't really fuel your body optimally. It is much better to eat hydrating fruits and yes, cucumbers are fruits as well. Watermelons, needless to say, are fruits too. Like this, you can eat your water. Like that, you can hydrate yourself whilst eating, get the minerals in, the electrolytes that we can find in certain plants and the true nutrition nevertheless comes from the meats and milks. I have to say that even from this modern day standard, this diet is absolutely healthy for you. All right guys, but this is it for today's video. If you liked it, leave it a thumbs up.
