Throughout history, dietary practices have been shaped predominantly by culture, tradition, convenience, and commercial influences rather than aligning with inherent biological and spiritual designs. This comprehensive article synthesizes anatomical, physiological, cognitive, spiritual, and clinical evidence demonstrating that humans are innately frugivorous rather than carnivorous or omnivorous. A detailed examination of dental morphology, digestive system structure, enzymatic profiles, and metabolic processes reveals the biological mismatch inherent in meat-based diets, which significantly contributes to chronic health issues. Furthermore, neurological studies have increasingly linked diets heavy in animal products to
- cognitive impairment,
- Alzheimer’s disease,
- stroke, and
- inflammatory brain disorders,
while emphasizing cognitive clarity and protection against neurological decline through Whole Food Plant-Based Diets (WFPBD).
This dietary framework is further supported by spiritual insights from major world religions, including Christianity, Catholicism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Confucianism, all of which advocate for compassion, moderation, and ethical eating practices consistent with WFPBD. Real-world clinical evidence from Bethsaida Hospital, spearheaded by Professor Dasaad Mulijono, validates these findings, illustrating remarkable improvements in chronic disease outcomes, cognitive health, and longevity through a compassionate, Christ-centred WFPBD approach. Addressing the modern dietary crisis requires holistic interventions integrating biological evidence, spiritual motivation, comprehensive public education, and clinical practices, aligning humanity’s dietary choices with evolutionary design and divine intention.
