Fit for Life

Etymology
The term "Fit for Life" is derived from the concept of being physically fit and healthy for the entirety of one's life. The term is often associated with the idea of maintaining a healthy lifestyle through proper diet and exercise.
Principles
Fit for Life principles are based on the theory of Natural Hygiene. It suggests that improper combinations of different types of foods can cause fermentation in the stomach, leading to the creation of toxins and hence diseases. The diet recommends consuming fruit in the morning, eating predominantly "live" and "high-water-content" food, and if eating animal protein to avoid combining it with complex carbohydrates.
Criticism
While the Fit for Life program has gained popularity, it has also faced criticism. Some nutritionists argue that the diet's recommendations are not based on scientific evidence and can lead to nutritional deficiencies.
