How To Eat To Live is a series of two books published by Nation of Islam leader Elijah Muhammad in the 1960s, which are still in print.{ISBN-13: 978-1884855160} The books cover his philosophies on healthy eating and the Black Muslims' prescribed diet.
Mr. Muhammad warns that eating several times a day excessively tasks our digestive system. Over time, we kill ourselves by never giving the body enough time to rest and revitalize itself. He advocates eating one meal a day, at most, and fasting for three days each month.
The Hon. Elijah Muhammad was the leader of the Nation of Islam, up until his death in 1975. He is best known as the teacher of Malcolm X, Louis Farrakhan and Muhammad Ali.
