- Few people know it, but the ground provides a subtle electric signal that maintains health
- We don’t all have the ability to sing out over a racing train, but we do have the power
- In looking for people to hire, you look for three qualities:
- It is nutrient-rich food the places a sparkle in the eye, luster in the hair,
- The desire that guides me in all I do is the desire to harness the forces of nature
- To be free from pain through an injection or a pill has nothing to do with
- We live and boast of what we own; We die . . . and only get a stone.
- The superior doctor prevents sickness; The mediocre doctor attends to impending sickness;
- Constipated despite a real food diet, detox, exercise, water (and more)?
- A man too busy to take care of his health is like a mechanic too busy to take care of his tools.
Sugar Does Not Equal Love
Traditional Chinese Medicine views the desire for sugar, or the sweet flavor, as a craving for the mother (yin) energy, a craving that represents a need for comfort or security. ~Elson Haas, M.D., Author and Speaker on Nutrition and Detoxification~
We crave what’s in our blood – get that clean and the cravings go away. Sugar is an inflammatory. Notice what happens when you eat a lot of sugary foods before bedtime… you wake up puffy. How many times can we allow our skin to stretch? This is a sure way to get wrinkles. What’s happening on the outside is only a fraction of what’s happening on this inside.
There are healthier sugar alternatives such as xylitol, stevia, raw honey, maple syrup, raw agave nectar, molasses, and the newest one I read about it Lakanto… zero calorie, zero glycemic index, and zero additives, just to name a few of its reported benefits. There is no one-size-fits-all sweetener and there will always be conflicting views. Use your best judgment and follow your gut. One thing most can agree on is to avoid white sugar… it is not as sweet as you think. It is also not the sugar I or people of my Baby Boomer era grew up with.
Consider adding more bitter greens (arugula, kale, dandelion, etc) to your meals and/or adding probiotics (kombucha, kefir, sauerkraut) as a side dish or drink to sip, both will help lessen the craving for sugar. Another key factor in avoiding a sweet tooth is to balance your meals.
Change in all things is sweet. ~Aristotle~
