Getting well..... ♪ Detalhes ♪
If you feel fatigued, depressed, rundown or have the flu too often..
It is wonderful how more Drs are helping folks get off gluten now.
- The thing with gluten is it is affecting everyone to some degree,
this is coz in the 50's a guy (who got the Nobel prize) bred wheat shorter to decrease wind damage
and force more energy into making bigger heads of wheat
AND esp. with substantially more gluten
( to make hard wheat for baking bread etc- farmers receive more money for hard wheat)
------Remember Grt Granny's soft bread that broke. - If only we could have kept good old spelt.
This increase in gluten is damaging digestion, inhibiting absorption of nutrient -
(thyroid issues are normal with GI/Guten Intolerance or celiac.)
THUS gluten problems are causing cancer, alzheimers, diabetes, bowel disease,
auto-immune diseases, migraines, IBS, etc etc, the list is VERY long.
Another problem with wheat is the gliadin content, which is causing inflammation as it travels in the blood stream..
There are about 6 things in wheat/grains that should be tested for.
Hence many are not getting a diagnosis.
The body makes new cells about every 4 mnths, so that is why it takes that long for the gut etc to heal.
BUT it will not heal unless we eat strictly GF, a crumb will keep the gut damaged and no result will be achieved.
Yes, it is wise to eat healthy, not trade grains for commercial processed GF packets or junk food,
It is the 5 whites that cause the most problems for western health.
1. Gluten / and refined flours
2. Processed dairy
3. Sugar
4. Refined salt - but DO use seasalt or himalayan salt.
5. Damaged fats, ie seed oils, margy as they are heat processed/damaged.-
(they cause weight gain and heart problems etc.)
----so use ccnut oil, macadamia, animal fats for baking
and olive oil for salads - IF olive oil is cloudy it's not heat damaged, + buy in dark glass.
+ no artificial additives, colours, flavours, preservatives
Note that cuts out all processed food ;)
Each time we bring a product ( I cannot call packets and cans food) to our lips, we think -
Is this going to make healthy cells, glowing skin, bright eyes,
healthy arteries that pump clean blood to every part of me>
Will I be able to walk and hug my grandchildren and live enjoying mid/older age.
Is this product more important to me than my family/activity/sleep/wellbeing.
Once we get into the swing of uplifting thoughts, then a healthy icecream, a nutritious cake/pancake/snack becomes a pleasure and the stress re eating/choosing/resisting junk is alleviated.
ie we can walk past a cake shop with a totally different mind set.
--Folks often chat re health/pain/no sleep coz of aches etc,
If I share eg that I find eating 30% acid ie meat/beans/rice/berries and 70% alkaline
helps pain as arthritis/disease breeds in acidic body>
Plus taking glucosamine/chondroitin/MSM helps a lot.
Folks say they would rather die happy eating gluten, with a smile on their face.
I know I can't smile/do much if I can't sleep and ache all over.
I also found in the auto-immune grp I went to yrs ago --
they said 'we are sick enough, we need our chocolate bars etc'>
So many smile at these stories and say "I would give it up in a flash if I was unwell".
BUT, treats are very addictive and the pull of the river of food is very strong in community.
We use food for comfort, meeting with friends/family etc.
It is harder if a spouse is not supportive of health, I feel for anyone struggling against lack of support.
If you are reading this right now, God will give you courage.
He made the food we need to eat, so He is here for us, for wisdom and strength to eat as He planned.
Also use natural cleaners, toiletries, to keep homes/air healthy for lungs and skin.
ie use lemon juice, soda, vinegar, it works just as well and kills germs >
The most powerful germ killer is peroxide followed by vinegar.
Clogging our liver with toxins will inhibit weight loss, it is all connected.
The skin absorbs more toxins than the stomach.
So wear gloves and mask when using bleach

SO if your allergy list alarms you, be patient, eat healthy fibre/beans, legumes, lentils, psyllium, -
Drink healthy THM drinks, and then in a few weeks introduce the healthy fats slowly.
WE NEED those healthy fats, vital to skin, brain, nerves, digestion etc.
** Tips to Heal digestion -Use real seasalt, lemon, Organic cloudy ACVingear, probiotics, slippery elm, aloevera juice, marinate meat in brine, lemon or ACV.
Good sources of plant fibre/protein
*Peas -1 cup peas contains 7.9 grams
*Quinoa-E - more than 8 grams per cup, & all nine essential amino acids the body needs for growth, repair,
*Raw Nuts-S - healthy fats and protein, but avoid salted, oiled nuts.
*Beans-E -2 cups kidney beans, contain about 26 grams
*Chick-peas/garbanzo beans -E- 7.3 grams of protein in 1/2 cup, high in fiber and low in calories. Toss into salads, baked/seasalted as snack.
*Vegetables - lots of antioxidants and heart-healthy fiber.
*Hemp seeds - (10 grams of protein in 3 tablespoons) add to smoothies, pestos, or baked goods.
*Chia- S - protein 4.7 grams per ounce/2 tblspns adds fiber to recipes: Sprinkle over S salads, add to yogurt, 1 ts to oatmeal, add to S smoothies, a gelatinous texture when soaked in liquid for rich, creamy S pudding.

If you feel sickie, or have a bowel or immune disease - read this

Include:
10 Common Candida Symptoms
1. Skin and nail fungal infections such as athlete’s foot, ringworm, and toenail fungus
2. Feeling tired and worn down or suffering from chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia
3. Digestive issues such as bloating, constipation, or diarrhea
4. Autoimmune disease such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, Rheumatoid arthritis, Ulcerative colitis,
Lupus, Psoriasis, Scleroderma or Multiple sclerosis
5. Difficulty concentrating, poor memory, lack of focus, ADD, ADHD and brain fog
6. Skin issues such as eczema, psoriasis, hives, and rashes
7. Irritability, mood swings, anxiety, or depression
8. Vaginal infections , urinary tract infections, rectal itching or vaginal itching
9. Severe seasonal allergies or itchy ears
10. Strong sugar and refined carbohydrate cravings
Getting rid of the Candida overgrowth primarily requires a change in diet to a low carbohydrate diet.
Sugar is what feeds yeast, so eliminating sugar in all of its simple forms like candy, desserts, alcohol and flours. Reducing to only a few cups a day of the more complex carbohydrates such as grains, beans, fruit, bread, pasta, and potatoes will prevent the Candida from growing and eventually cause it to die. I would recommend eliminating all fermented foods as well.
Using diet alone could take three to six months before the Candida is back under control
Take a supplement of caprylic acid. Caprylic Acid comes from coconut oil and basically ‘pokes holes’ in the yeast cell wall causing it to die. Oil of oregano can be effective however it can kill good bacteria as well so I don’t recommend it. Anti-fungal medications and caprylic acid are very specific to yeast and will not harm your good bacteria.
It’s a must to restore the healthy bacteria that typically keep your Candida population under control, so take probiotics daily -from 25-100 billion units of probiotics helps reduce Candida and restores good bacteria.

The essentials - bones, fat, meat, vegetables and water.
Beef broth or lamb broth, brown meat before putting it in pot. Fish, poultry put in pot without browning first.
- Place bones into a large stock pot and cover with water.
- Add two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar to water prior to cooking, helps pull nutrients from bones.
- Fill stock pot with filtered water. Leave plenty of room for water to boil.
- Heat slowly. Bring to a boil, simmer for at least six hours. Remove scum as it arises.
- Chicken bones- can cook 24 hours. Beef bones can cook for- 48 hours.
A low and slow cook time is necessary in order to fully extract nutrients in and around bone. - Add vegetables - onions, garlic, carrots, and celery for added nutrient value.
Discard the fat only when you eat the broth. or scoop broth from beneath the fat.

Doesn’t this look like a “healthy” sandwich to send to school?
We all know that we need to stay away from sugar, but “whole grain” bread is high in sugar,
higher than some candy bars and sugary sodas,
and some scientists have proven that two slices of whole wheat bread
will raise your blood sugar levels as high as if you were eating a candy bar.
(That doesn't mean a candy bar is healthy, it's not, it is low in nutrient AND high in sugar.)
Why does it take the mainstream media so long after a new study to report health benefits?
BECAUSE they would lose all their advertising!
I had to sign a waiver when I would be on TV that I won’t bash whole grain or cereals…
they didn’t want to lose their advertisers! It’s truly shocking. According to the Life Extension article,
eating two slices of whole wheat bread is worse than drinking a can of Coke or eating a candy bar.
( that doesn't mean coke is healthy, I doubt anyone would choose to ingest even one of its ingredients)
The original 1981 study at the University of Toronto found:
Glycemic Index:
White Bread = 69
Whole-grain Bread = 72
Wheat Cereal = 67,
but Table Sugar (sucrose) = 52
That means the Glycemic Index of whole grain bread is higher than that of table sugar,
which is also known as sucrose. For you “gluten free” readers out there…
rice cakes are listed on the Glycemic Index at 77!
This is why when people go “gluten free”
and grab a lot of packaged “gluten free” items at the store, they gain weight rather than lose weight.
This is why I write in the beginning of my cookbooks why I use flours like coconut and almond flour.
It is important to not only get rid of the gluten,
but stop the inflammation that the starch is causing so the gut can heal!

We can ask God what to eat, for He made our bodies
and He made the food we need,
Yet- there is a lot more behind HOW we eat
that we really need to heed.
eg
Your Gut May Hold the Key to Better Brain Health
Are we trying to eat low fat, low carb/high protein foods (cheese, chicken, turkey, salmon, beef).
Is Fruit ok - or too much sugar.
Are we annoyed about craving breads, desserts, icecream, chocolate.
Veggies - are we tired of feeling we HAVE to eat veg.
Dairy - they say it does a body good, while we feel sluggish, stuffed up, asthmatic and regularly get the flu.
Do we drink Coffee, decaf, low fat milk,
sugar-free drinks and pop - thinking it's OK with no calories and chemical additives!
And despite all the effort - do we feel hungry, prowling for something to satisfy the want.
(not realising we are undernourished).
Does the body hurt, feel too tired and... not only not losing weight, but gaining- while DIETing.
Do we see foods, as foods we have to eat, or crave and can't eat,
or cave in with frustration -after telling self we deserve to eat it, just like everyone else.
Meanwhile is food sometimes an enemy and we wish we didn't feel 'deprived'.
Are we suffering a diet plan, but breaking out -feeling guilt, knowing it will do harm.
I now see food differently - as a source of nutrient and nourishment from God.
I have a sense of purpose and know I have some control over health,
DIS-EASE is not a martian attacking from outer space, it is from inflammation.
I can pray and seek God's wisdom to address most of it..
I know my body benefits and heals from the food I eat -- to give me energy to enjoy my day.
If I eat right, food can digest, metabolize and feed my organs and blood.
It can eliminate toxins and provide me with nutrient, so I can be a mother, wife, friend, grandmother..
All that, is the key.
Thinking about what we eat, the best/nicest way, and who we want to be, gives us control to reap the benefits-
[ meanwhile I have learnt how to eat deliciously.]
Wanting food to become who we are, is the most important change to make.
Then we eat the right foods, which leads to feeling satisfied, which leads to a healthy, energized mind and body.

Be aware that we do not, can not really eat paleo,
because agriculture has bred our fruit n veg to be edible and less toxic-
eg broccoli and carrot in the wild were very different/bitter/fibrous to today.
Note -We would need to eat 8 1/2 feet of sugarcane.- to get the sugar in a bottle of pop,
Our bodies cannot cope with the refined sugar from pop consumed in 20 mins.
That is why we need to consider eating foods as natural as possible, that's what paleo ideas do.
Keep in mind to eat 70% alkaline and 30% acid.

or cave in with frustration -after telling self we deserve to eat it, just like everyone else.
Meanwhile is food sometimes an enemy and we wish we didn't feel 'deprived'.
Are we suffering a diet plan, but breaking out -feeling guilt, knowing it will do harm.
I now see food differently - as a source of nutrient and nourishment from God.
I have a sense of purpose and know I have some control over health,
DIS-EASE is not a martian attacking from outer space, it is from inflammation.
I can pray and seek God's wisdom to address most of it..
I know my body benefits and heals from the food I eat -- to give me energy to enjoy my day.
If I eat right, food can digest, metabolize and feed my organs and blood.
It can eliminate toxins and provide me with nutrient, so I can be a mother, wife, friend, grandmother..
All that, is the key.
Thinking about what we eat, the best/nicest way, and who we want to be, gives us control to reap the benefits-
[ meanwhile I have learnt how to eat deliciously.]
Wanting food to become who we are, is the most important change to make.
Then we eat the right foods, which leads to feeling satisfied, which leads to a healthy, energized mind and body.

Be aware that we do not, can not really eat paleo,
because agriculture has bred our fruit n veg to be edible and less toxic-
eg broccoli and carrot in the wild were very different/bitter/fibrous to today.
Note -We would need to eat 8 1/2 feet of sugarcane.- to get the sugar in a bottle of pop,
Our bodies cannot cope with the refined sugar from pop consumed in 20 mins.
That is why we need to consider eating foods as natural as possible, that's what paleo ideas do.
Keep in mind to eat 70% alkaline and 30% acid.

Leaky Gut:
The Gateway to Chronic Disease
All diseases begin in the gut. Hippocrates, 460-370 B.C.
This is a very important topic that I wish more people were aware of,
so I want to pass this information along. Leaky gut is something that I have personally been healing from for the past few years. It ended up being the underlying issue behind my chronic skin and immune system issues.
It took YEARS and many health practitioners to connect my skin issues with dysfunction of the gut. Luckily, more and more practitioners are becoming aware of leaky gut and how to treat it.
Research continues to emerge regarding the connection between leaky gut, inflammation and many chronic disease conditions. Hippocrates really knew what he was talking about when he said
“All diseases begin in the gut.”
Please take the time to read this and be aware of how important your digestion
and the health of your gut are to your overall health, immunity and vitality.
If you have a chronic disease condition, especially autoimmune or skin issue,
consider looking into the integrity of your gut health as a key culprit in the manifestation of your symptoms.

The Real Cause of Most Diseases
It doesn't matter what disease it is,
this is so crucial to your health that researchers have compared it to
"a newly recognized organ" influencing your immune system, genetic expression,
mental health, weight and memory. The question is: why do so many experts ignore it?

Story at-a-glance
- There is an emerging consensus that most disease originates in your digestive system. This includes both physical and mental disease. Once you heal and seal your gut lining, and make your digestive system work properly again, disease symptoms will typically resolve
- Up to 85 percent of children with autism also suffer from some kind of gastrointestinal distress, and researchers are now beginning to look for links between gut flora, autism, and irritable bowel disease
- A first-of-its-kind study on human breast milk and its impact on infants’ gut flora gives new insight on why breast milk is better than formula at protecting newborns from infectious illness. Compared to infant formulas and regular milk, only breast milk appears to promote a healthy colonization of beneficial biofilms
- A healthy diet is the ideal way to maintain a healthy gut, and regularly consuming traditionally fermented or cultured foods is the easiest way to ensure optimal gut flora.

paleoparents/why-all of us shouldn't eat much-carbs
What happens to someone who’s been addicted to comfort, sweet foods is that the reintroduction of it,
(even fruit) can trigger an emotional and chemical response in our brain
that makes us want to add it back into our diet.
Why My Pants Didn’t Fit
Alright, maybe it’s just me that had tight pants, but quite of few have let us know you also had this struggle…
so, I found an interesting write-up from Jaminet on why carbohydrates (of any kind) retain water in the body.
Here’s the thing, when I go back to a good low carb paleo diet,
my body drops an excessive amount of water weight (see this, this, and this ).
I get an excessive belly bloat from sugary carbohydrates.
Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (or SIBO)
is a chronic bacterial infection of the small intestine, characterized by excessive number and/or abnormal type of bacteria growing in a part of the gastrointestinal tract that normal contains relatively few microorganisms.
These bacteria can cause a variety of problems by interfering with digestion and absorption of nutrients and by damaging the lining of the gut, causing a “leaky gut”
. The most common symptoms of bacterial overgrowth include abdominal pain, nausea,
bloating, gas, belching, flatulence, chronic diarrhea, and chronic constipation. The Paleo Mom
It could be Candida.
What are your thoughts on candida? How much does it affect cravings and weight gain? Is it possible to starve it and get rid of it with the right diet or not? “Candida is 100% an outgrowth of too many carbs…” - Robb Wolf
I think, however, that the answer is Insulin Resistance from years of obesity.
I experience stable blood sugar and lack of cravings when I adhere to a good autoimmune paleo protocol,
take my digestion supplements (ox bile & HCL) and eat organ meats, bone broth and fermented foods.
I know the reason for this is because when I fuel my body with nourishing foods
it is able to easily absorb all of the nutrients I’m putting in,
instead of being unable to properly digest foods and craving more nutrients (food) as a result.
I hadn’t found material to put together that the gut health and nutrient absorption were linked to blood sugar
until I read the recent genius series of posts on Carbs & Paleo by Robb Wolf:
Lowering glycemic load can be incredibly powerful in reducing inflammation and metabolic derangement.
One could likely get as much benefit from a moderate LC approach (75-100g/day) as a strict ketogenic approach.[interestingly, this is my exact problem and the range that works well to resolve it for me - Stacy]
In addition to our knowledge that overeating is likely the impetus for insulin resistance,
Mat Lalonde has made the point that nutrient deficiencies are also a big factor in all this.
If we have inadequate substrates for antioxidant production, ROS species increase inflammation,
which itself deranges metabolism and insulin sensitivity, regardless of calorie intake.

Illness stems from modern foods, inflamed digestion, causing bacteria/viruses to flourish.
-modern diet, eg bad fats/cooked oils, sugar/biscuits and hard wheat - damage digestive tract -down to bowel.
Avoid all cooked oils/transfats
ie use coconut oil or ghee or animal fats, ie lard, dripping.
Eat sugar free- it damages immune system, [1 small bottle pop cancels immunity that day]
All Sugar, meats, grains/rice are acidic - arthritis and illness is from an overly acidic system.
Processed milk is allergenic- so avoid dairy.
Organic Goats and sheeps feta may be a better- try it and see if you get congestion, it makes me congested..
If you have flu, sore throat etc Use Natural antibiotic- 6 cloves of garlic daily chopped up in water ie 3x2 a day
To dry up phlegm, blocked sinuses- avoid all dairy, sugar, refined grains and -
take triple strength horseradish and garlic tabs - take 2 - 3 or 4 times a day
Gargle with seasalt or himalayan salt
If taking Dr antibiotic its essential to take probiotics to keep stomach flora balanced.

Basic daily helps
NUMBER 1 is getting the digestion healthy
1-Eat for PH balance - alkaline fruit n veg as 70% of diet. [berries are acidic, so eat in moderation]
tip-check where berries come from as China etc uses antifungal sprays that are banned in west.
-Begin day with half lemon juice in glass of water.-lemon-water-healthy-way-to-start-day
2-Drink 30 ml aloevera juice each morning and night, heals stomach.
3-Very helpful when weak- 1 cup veg juice daily to increase nutrients
4-Take 1-2 T fibre blend daily, eg psyllium with LSA-Linseed, sunflower, almonds
clean bowel is essential, as putrid acid builds up and travels thru body.
5-Probiotic/acidophilus capsule first or last in the day. - or both if feeling ill.
6-Drink in water -1-2 tspns organic apple cider vinegar ACV -esp with protein,
to increase stomach acid for digestion of protein.
7-Take a natural fruit vit C with all meals, eg apple, orange, kiwi, strawbs, cauli, cabbage.
7-Use seasalt or Himalayan salt with all meals- our body needs it. -Don't use/ consume refined normal salt..
8- Begin each meal with an enzyme booster
eg pineapple, mango, pawpaw, banana, melon, garlic, herbs, onions, sprouts.
9-If feeling sickie-take Digestive enzymes with HCL capsules -Natures Sunshine are good,
take 3-6 tabs just before meals.
Drink warm -tspn slippery elm root, cinnamon and ccnut milk.
10-Eat broccoli, herbs, parsley, brussels, cabbage, cauli, pepper, chillies, citrus, toms, capsicum, berries
11-Eat a fermented with each meal- eg 30 ml organic wine for stomach sake,
sauerkraut/fermented veg, olives, organic no sugar kefir yoghurt.
12-Salad dressing- use virgin cold-pressed olive oil, avocado oil,
lemon juice, natural honey, coconut cream, mustard, white vinegar or AppleCiderVinegar.
Never cook oils. (except coconut oil and ghee and good old dripping)
13-Take 2-3 Tblspns of coconut oil through the day, add it to meals/porridge/soups etc.
14-Chlorella is best detox, take tabs daily as directed, amount can be doubled after a week.
15-Don't over cook meat or eggs.
15-Chew slowly, relax while eating, to keep an alkaline system.
16- Soak and Sprout nuts and seeds - Soak & Sprout
17-Drink water and herbal teas eg
Tiger-bengal spice, fennel/black adder, lemon, peppermint, rooibos, decaf green tea, organic fruit teas.
chamomile with vanilla. Avoid caffeine, it does damage stomach.
Eliminate the 5 basic bad whites
Sugar - replace with Medjool dates, apple, banana, molasses, glucodin, stevia - (honey, maple- don't cook)
Salt- replace with seasalt, himalayan salt. and USE it with every meal.
Dairy - replace with ccnut milk/cream and ghee
Flours - avoid gluten, keep all grains to bare minimum and eat healthy unrefined GF flours. eg coconut flour, waterchestnut, lupin, millett, besan, amaranth, quinoa, almond, sorghum.
Meat fats- Marinate meats in tomato, lemon juice or ACV, it helps to break down the protein-don't over cook and eat meat with ACV. Only purchase grass fed meats.
To adjust mind set, I look at each food and say "Did God make it? -
Will this make my cells well today and tomorrow-
for being who I need to be- or will it damage me, ie do I want that as part of ME.
PLUS- consider all products used, that are being absorbed through the skin, which is even worse than absorbed through stomach ie Use natural cleaning/ body products, clothes /dish wash, flysprays, fragrance sprays, deodorizers, deodorants etc
Modern living provides many toxic substances- which poison the liver and lungs and thus cause health deterioration /cancers etc.

Doctors are only recently discovering the causes and effects of leaky gut syndrome.
“Physicians don’t know enough about the gut, which is our biggest immune system organ,” says Donald Kirby.
Leaky gut is often undiagnosed but is vitally important to overall health because many – seemingly unrelated – conditions are either caused by or worsened by this mystery illness.
Learn more about this unusual illness...bit.ly/Leaky gut
Warning re taking antacids
"This is a serious issue because acid stopping drugs promote bacterial overgrowth,
weaken our resistance to infection, reduce absorption of essential nutrients,
and increase the likelihood of developing IBS, other digestive disorders, and cancer.
The pharmaceutical companies have always been aware of these risks.
When acid-stopping drugs were first introduced, it was recommended that they not be taken for more than six weeks. Clearly this prudent advice has been discarded, as it is not uncommon today to encounter people who have been on these drugs for decades – not weeks."

What could be a cause of the obesity epidemic?
"When someone consumes a substance to which they are allergic,
pretty severe, even life-threatening, reactions can occur.
Food intolerance is different in some ways only in terms of the magnitude of the body's reaction.
Food intolerance is not life threatening (although the food addiction that accompanies it, if untreated, can cause chronic conditions like obesity and diabetes). Food intolerance can however,
cause any organ or tissue in the body to react to the intolerable substance.
The water retention connection is largely due to the impact on blood vessels.
So many parts of the body are affected by food intolerance because any enemy in the body is transported around in the blood stream. This explains why symptoms of food intolerance can affect anything from muscle aches to headaches, to mood changes and digestive disorders. The whole body is affected when we consume 'an enemy'.
The blood vessel impact is key - both vasculitis and edema can occur.
Vasculitis is essentially inflammation of the blood vessels and edema describes the situation of swelling caused by fluids retained in body tissues. Hence food intolerance is known to cause water retention all around the body because of the inflammation, swelling and water retention likely in our blood vessels.
Hence, if you are intolerant to dairy, grains or any other substance,
you could be holding pounds that will go when you avoid the offending food." --

then grate the whole lemon (don't peel it) on top of your foods.
Sprinkle it on salad, ice cream, mousse, soup, noodles, spaghetti sauce, rice, sushi, fish dishes. All foods will unexpectedly have a wonderful taste.
Now that you've learned this lemon secret, you can use lemon even in your tea.
Lemon peels contain as much as 5 to 10 times more vitamins than the lemon juice itself.
And yes, that's what we've been wasting.

How many times a day or a week do you think you eat when you’re not hungry?
Every time you eat when you’re not hungry, you’re strengthening the neurological pathways in your brain
that eventually leads to–
the habit of turning to food when you’re body doesn’t actually need it.
Food can be used as a coping mechanism to help me deal with the perceived stresses of life.
Food can act as a security blanket; a habitual pattern of seeking support outside of ourselves.
At one point in my life, I used food for many reasons - to distract, to avoid, to procrastinate,
and to numb out, tune out and check out. Food can be used for comfort, sedation, and stimulation.
We need to become aware of what drives us, urges us to eat when we are – and are not – hungry.
As we get better at becoming more aware of what is going on inside us, mentally, physically,
and emotionally when we are seeking out food, we will be addressing our relationship to food at it’s source.
We need to start looking at the driving forces behind our behavior
in order to makes friends with God's good food.

When was the last time you ate, not because you were hungry but because you we're seeking pleasure,
or you were procrastinating, perhaps avoiding feeling an emotion, you ate out of boredom, or were exhausted and ate for a 'pick me up'. People turn to food as a replacement to feeling emotions all the time, even if we're not aware of it. One great approach, that is simple, easy and effective is the HALT approach. When we get home from a long day, we ask ourselves: Am I HUNGRY? or am I:Angry, Lonely or Tired? When we become mindful and aware of what is actually driving our hunger, besides being physically hungry, then we can start giving ourselves what we actually want. If we're feeling lonely, call a friend, play music. If feeling intense emotions, like anger, address those emotions through talking to God and writing in a journal. If we're tired give our bodies the rest/sleep we need. Do we eat for other reasons besides physical hunger? Sacred Source Nutrition |
Add spinach, kale, herbs to choc mousse and smoothies
"Is it okay to eat spinach, Isn't it high in oxalic acid?" Spinach is incredible nutritious, with many health benefits. Would I recommend eating 5 lbs of spinach a day? No, but I would recommend making it apart of the rotation of greens that you currently eat. There is some research suggesting that it's actually better to eat spinach raw, not cooked as many people happen to believe.
Different people have food allergies to a wide range of foods.
I would bet that there are a lot more people sensitive to peanuts than to spinach.
Some people are more sensitive to oxalic acid than others, but if you mix spinach in with your greens, you won't consume enough for it to be any problem and the nutritious benefits
are far outweighing the micro amounts of oxalates.
This is also good practice to tune into your own body and what it is telling you when you eat.
Tune into how you feel after eating a spinach salad. It's really about listening to what your body is telling you,
not what informational sources are telling you.

The process of lactic acid fermentation used to transform salt and cabbage into sauerkraut increases vitamins, particularly vitamin C and B vitamins, and food enzymes. Moreover, homemade sauerkraut is also extraordinarily rich in beneficial bacteria – friendly microorganisms which help to colonize the gut, train the immune system and manufacture vitamins in the digestive tract. In winter, when colds and flus make their rounds, homemade fermented foods which provide plenty of vitamins, food enzymes and beneficial bacteria coupled with fermented cod liver oil (see sources).

- 2 medium cabbage heads (about 4 to 5 total pounds, cored and finely shredded)
- 2 tbsp unrefined sea salt
- Toss cabbage and salt together in a large mixing bowl and begin to squeeze the cabbage and salt together with your hands, kneading it thoroughly to break up the cellular structure of the shredded cabbage.
- When the cabbage has become limp and released its juice, transfer it to a sauerkraut crock or vegetable fermenter (see sources). Pack the salted cabbage into the crock or fermenter as tightly as you can, eliminating air bubbles. Continue packing the cabbage into the container until it is completely submerged by liquid. Cover loosely and allow it to sit at room temperature, undisturbed, for at least seven days and up to three or four weeks, testing the sauerkraut every few days until it is done to your liking. Transfer to the refrigerator or other cold storage where it should keep for at least six months.
- NOTES: If scum appears floating in the brine of your homemade sauerkraut, simply spoon it off. You won’t be able to remove it all, but spoon of what you can and don’t worry about. The real key to preparing homemade sauerkraut, and any fermented food, is that the solid materials rest below the liquid. Fermentation is an anaerobic process and to expose your ferments to air increases the likelihood that they’ll become contaminated by stray microbes, yeasts and molds.

Magnesium is required for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body.
It's required for the transmission of nerve impulses, body temperature regulation, detoxification, energy production, and the formation of healthy bones and teeth.
Most of the magnesium (over half) in our body is stored in our tissue and bones and teeth.
We commonly hear that calcium is primarily responsible for healthy, strong bones and teeth. Magnesium, however, is responsible for the body’s ability to absorb calcium.
Without magnesium, little or no calcium absorption would take place.
Not surprisingly, an adequate intake of magnesium is also important for the prevention of osteoporosis.
Pumpkin seeds are an excellent source of magnesium.
So are, flax and sunflower seeds, quinoa, mangoes, almonds.
Magnesium is unique among the minerals because it is a component of the plant pigment, chlorophyll.
This means that all dark green leafy vegetables are particularly good sources of magnesium,
like kale, swiss chard, arugula, and collards.

Note-Don't be lulled into thinking we can transform ourselves merely by,
feeling better about ourselves, eating organic foods.
Eating organic will not of course make us live forever, our body will still age and die.
Just eating good food will not make us new in our soul and spirit,
nor make us forget past hurt.
We need to be IN the Lord Jesus so our spirit is safe for eternity
Only God makes our hearts new/heals our broken heart.
Once we know God, He can give us the power to choose how to eat right,
so our body/mind receives the nutrition to function as He made it to.
