Eat Kosher Meals To Significantly Lower Your Cholesterol Level

By Dorothy Fisher


These days, it's impossible to miss the thousands of adverts that promote the benefits of nutritional eating and exercise in order to become healthier. There are so many diets and guidelines to follow that people don't know which one to follow, because they are all contradictory. The good news is that kosher meals are the perfect balance of healthy eating and traditionally prepared food, so you don't have to countless hours of research for the eating plan that has inspired millions to become healthier.

The basis of this eating plan is derived from the Jewish holy book, which governs all the aspects about food consumption. There are lists which dictate which food products are unlawful for consumption, and then there are food products which are allowed to be consumed. Included in this guide is the correct way of preparing the food, as there are certain methods to be maintained to sanctify the lawfulness of the food.

The holy book of Jewish religion only allows animals who eat from the plants on the ground and have definitive hooves. Due to these characteristics, rabbits, pigs, camels and the hyrax are forbidden for consumption according to the guidelines. Birds of prey are also forbidden, and water birds that consume fish are forbidden for consumption.

One of the most highly revered and accepted laws on food involve the consumption of blood. It is clearly stated that due to the life giving powers of blood, it is undoubtedly forbidden. There are some exceptions to this rule, as some scholars state that where the blood cannot be completely removed from the meat due to the structure of the meat product, it will be permissible to eat once sufficient draining of the visible blood has been completed.

Besides meat that is derived from animals, a lot of animal products are also forbidden by the holy book. These include eggs from all animals, including the tiny fish roe, any type of milk, as well as products that are made with these food items, including jelly and cheese. The food that is obtained from animals that gather the ingredients and manufacture something else is not forbidden, such as pure honey.

There are many scriptures that dictate laws about the lawfulness of food that contradict each other, but all the scriptures are unanimous in announcing that milk derived from an animal which is considered to be lawful, is also permitted for consumption. Exemptions are made for that milk which is derived from an animal which is discovered to have been suffering from a disease prior to slaughtering, as this is against the laws of the holy book. However, some concessions have been known to be made for these situations.

Some scholars argue that gelatin is not permitted due to the fact that it is derived from the tissue of an animal. Others argue that the gelatin has undergone a massive chemical change and thereafter processed, so it is not considered to be a meat product. It is very simple to simply substitute the gelatin with other products that are available for binding.

Try these meals today and feel the difference in your health and gain an insight into the fascinating world of Jewish tradition.
