A human being has not filled any vessel which is worse than a belly ….
The holy Prophet peace be upon him advised us to follow a healthy diet which is recommended by western doctors nowadays, that’s why the prophet has put a base for medical food…..
He says peace be upon him: (A human being has not filled any vessel which is worse than a belly. Enough for the son of Adam are some mouthfuls which can keep his back straight: but if there is no escape he should fill it a third with food, a third with drink, and leave a third empty) [Narrated by At-Tirmidhi].
Scientists confirm that filling the stomach with food and drink is one of the most serious dietary habits, therefore they advise to minimize the amount of food, even that most of them cure several diseases by nothing more than a healthy diet and abstain from eating large quantities of food. And this prophetic rule is considered to be one of the basics of modern medicine which demonstrates the sincerity of our Prophet and that all what he says is by inspiration from Allah not by himself!
