Eat Me! The 4 Principles for Health



Every day is certainly a new way to start fresh and begin a healthy eating plan. If anything it's a lifestyle change that should weave its way into becoming daily habit. Who doesn't want to feel their best and not regret what they ate? Nothing happens overnight. And in fact you didn't get to be the way you NOW are overnight, it took months and years to accumulate all the undigested foods, fats, carbs, etc that have attracted bacteria, yeast, parasites, and unwanted disease in your beautiful body.


In this Dan McDonald interview with Lou Corona, Lou goes into his story and what led him to the path of ultimate health and self-healing.. When Lou was 21 instead of living it up like your average twenty something year old. Instead he was on the edge of his death bed suffering from a tumor in the back of his bead,  severe acne, asthma, arthritis, and only went to the bathroom once every 3 weeks!!!! In six months Lou turned his life around -- 41 years later Lou is strong, healthy and more powerful then ever at the young age of 62.

Within 6 months Lou was able to reverse and make his horrible suffering go away after adopting the 4 principles:
  1. Cellular Communication - every cell responds to how we think, feel, to what we do, our intentions, how we eat and drink, and what we do with our lives. THEY RESPOND CONSTANTLY - negatively or positively.  Realizing the power of communication and words and t begin to start thinking more positively with empowering thoughts and less disempowering thoughts and words. Learn to communicate better. Learn to listen. Learn to love and forgive. 
  2. Cellular Environment - incorporates the elements, embracing the sun, breathing slow and deep, drinking good pure alkaline structured water, being grounded. 
  3. Cellular Exercise - how do you stimulate the lymphatic system? Are you releasing/detoxing toxins/waste from the body regularly? Work that lymph system with hot/cold therapy, swimming, to stimulate and drain that lymph. People with excess weight ---> sluggish lymphatic system. Since we are so clogged up, getting that lymph moving is ideal. 
  4. Cellular Nutrition/Food - how do you feed your body from the cellular perspective? We need to eat the food that we need and digest it properly. That includes being able to break it down completely. Most people are still cooking their food when they think its healthy and good for you. But every time you eat cooked food the body has to use more of its own enzymes to digest the food, even more than your body makes...... this is what causes the ENZYME DEPLETION to take effect. So in essence, people become enzyme deficient over time with cooked foods.

The goal is to master the art of digesting everything you eat.

 

So when your body becomes enzyme deficient, then you are no longer able to digest all your proteins, carbs, and fats to the micro level (micro-nutrients like amino acids, glucose, fatty acids). Unfortunately what you'll end up with is Partial Digestion................

Basically what this means is that some of your food gets digested while some does not. Anytime you have an accumulation of undigested protein/carbs/fats then end up putrefying/ferment in the body. This junk gets into the intestinal tract, blood, tissues, brain, organs, glands, etc. This accumulation attracts parasites, viruses, bacteria,yeast and causes inflammation.



Feel inspired today!

Get into the daily habit of making good food choices. It starts with that one fruit or vegetable..... apparently people that live the longest have a enzyme rich diet aka living foods.

Great Snack Idea: Oranges  
I been buying 4lb bags of Sunkist organic oranges and eating a few a day. It is great for killing tummy fat!

Eat organic! Try to buy as much organic fruits and vegetables as possible. Less harmful pesticides and toxins to worry about. Also, organic foods tend to taste better in general.


What are Alkaline foods? 

Foods that are alkaline are able to raise the the amount of oxygen that your blood takes in such as dark green leafy veggies, fruit such as watermelon, young coconut, herbs, spices, wheat grass, sprouts, etc. .Other foods derived from animals and processed foods are acidic, the opposite of alkaline.(Source)


Alkaline Foods : beet greens, pumpkin, spirulina, dandelions, sea vegetables, broccoli, watercress, alfalfa, radishes, celery, mustard greens, cabbage, collage greens, tomatoes, cucumber, chlorella, kohirabi, sprouts, wheat grass, spinach, dulce, carrot, lettuce, cauliflower, peppers, garlic, barley grass, kale, and more!

100% Carrot - Protein Vanilla Chai Tea

I just poured myself a nice big glass of 100% carrot juice by Bolthouse Farms. At the moment, buying these supermarket juices is steering me into the daily home juicing habit. According to the 32 fl. oz (1 qt) bottle there's 24 1/2 carrots equating to 8 servings of vegetables per bottle. The ingredients is simply listed as carrot juice.

I really also like their Vanilla Chai Tea protein tea & soy drink -- 9 grams of protein per 8 fl. oz serving.  It contains  30 per cent daily value of calcium, vitamin C, iron, Vitamin B6, vitamin B12, zinc, and magnesium What I have been doing to my hot teas lately is putting a little bit of this vanilla protein chai tea in with a large cup of spiced chai tea. It's an awesome way to keep your sugar down and great for a boost in energy with the power of tea!

I Love Avocados

Lately, I been eating more avocados than usual. The benefits are too amazing to ignore. I have been putting a half to a whole avocado into my daily salad. And I have to say -- I love the taste of it in my spring mix/spinach salad along with marinated mushrooms, basil, cilantro,  tomatoes, and olives (as pictured).


According to wikipedia, avocado is a tree native to Central America and Mexico, classified in the flowering plant family Lauraceae. Avocado aka alligator pear also refers to the fruit, botanically a large berry that contains a single seed. This amazing fruit/berry is packed with healthy monounsaturated fat and vitamin E. This delicious fruit is packed with blood pressure reducing nutrients magnesium and potassium among almost 20 nutrients total. Also, forget the mayo and butter as a spread -- Avocado is nature's butter! Make that choice to incorporate avocado into your daily diet and reap the benefit's like nobody's business.


In a recent study conducted by the Hass Avocado Board, researchers discovered that study participants who added 1/2 of a fresh avocado to their lunch reported a significantly decreased desire to eat by 40% over a three hour period and 20% five hours later -- compared to a regular lunch meal without avocado. Not only this, the group also reported an elevated feeling of hunger satisfaction by 26% during the three hours following the meal.



What do I really love about Avocados ..... you can make Guacamole !!!!!

I always make sure to squeeze lemon or lime juice on my avocado once I cut it open to prevent the beautiful yellow/green insides from turning a yucky oxidized brown... and to keep it looking  and tasting fresh.

Other nutrients in avocados include: fiber, folate, vitamin B-6, vitamin C, vitamin K, and lutein.
