Feed My Body: The Concept

There are certain foods that feed your body. They nourish and energize.

When you put these foods in your mouth your health is elevated. As they proceed through your digestive system your pancreas and other enzyme-secreting organs are at rest: there is no need for them to concoct an enzymatic cocktail to process the food. There are certain foods that enhance your immune system once the food and fiber enter your small and large intestines.There are foods that build bones, blood, immunity, health. There are foods that regulate hormones and thus affect your emotions. There are foods that highly oxygenate the blood and thereby oxygenate the brain: they enhance mental clarity. There are foods that flood your body with vitamins and minerals effecting a magnificent boost to the immune system.There are foods that heal.

Conversely there are foods that harm.

Foods that are instantly acidic to the body starting with their placement into the mouth. You are sold these foods under the moniker: food. But they are not food; they are chemicals, preservatives, genetically modified aliens to the original. These non-foods look yummy, taste delicious and are advertised as healthy. These foods are dead, they carry no nutritional enzymes. Your liver, pancreas and gall bladder must work together to take these non-foods, determine an enzymatic mixture that will break down these non-foods to usable substances. When no usable function is found for these non-foods, they are stored.Stored in your large intestines, stored in your waist, fat, hips, thighs.

Your body is miraculously self healing if given foods that feed your body:
Fruit - whole raw fruit. Not mixed in a drink or skinned. Just the whole raw fruit with it's own natural waters.
Vegetables - whole vegetables steamed, sauteed or raw. Eat them by themselves without condiments. Add whole food condiments if from the vegetable family: extra virgin (raw) olive oil, apple cider vinegar. You can find whole food condiments by looking at the ingredient list and making sure there is only one ingredient. For example: sea salt.
Nuts - whole raw nuts. No preservatives added. Best to buy organic. You can mash the nuts by running through a juicer or food processor but once again, make sure it is one ingredient only. For example: almond butter: almonds.
Beans, legumes - Whole, organic beans cooked to firmness carry more absorbable protein and vitamins than a steak. Learn to soak, steam, and boil beans with distilled water, fresh herbs and whole food seasoning.
Grain - there are only 2-3 grains in America that are sold that contain their entire shaft.Quinoa, rice and millet. All wheat grains are chafed of their beneficial qualities. I repeat,there is no healthy "whole wheat" pasta in America. Stick to rice, quinoa and spelt for pasta products, crackers and bread. Whole grains react completely different in your intestines than wheat products. You will poop within hours after eating a whole grain product. This never happens with wheat.
Water - Health will be elusive without distilled water. Drink half your weight in ounces of water every day. The change in your health will astound you.
