most of the halachot that the Rambam brings in regard to health and diet were valid only to his time because that the nature of our bodies changed as time passed by.
Nonetheless these halachot are written in the “Yad Hachazaka” which is intendent for all times, therefore we must say that in our time, they have a meaning in a spiritual way (ruchniyut).
