Well, Live Well!
Our Suggestions for Eating a Balanced, Organic
Whole Foods Diet
If health problems exist, we strongly recommend
that you seek guidance from a healthcare professional.
Our suggestions are not intended to replace specific
dietary advice.
It is not difficult
to learn to eat naturally, and the rewards are
plentiful. A healthy diet of natural foods will
provide your body with most of the vitamins and
nutrients it requires. Whole foods contain within
them all the different nutrients and enzymes our
bodies require to utilize them properly. For instance,
many people avoid eggs because of the cholesterol
level in them. However, while eggs do contain
cholesterol, when prepared properly and eaten
with a healthful, balanced diet, eggs provide
the body with the nutrients it needs to make the
best use of the cholesterol. Food can be your
best medicine. You simply need to be aware
of what is real food, and what is not.
How we prepare our foods is also very important,
and in what quantities and combinations.
In general terms, learn to
feed yourself with foods in the manner in which
they have been created naturally. Avoid packaged,
processed, pasteurized, and synthetic products;
anything that comes in a box, can, or carton is
suspect.
Here's
our simple list of do's and don'ts
Learn to follow
the guidelines outlined below and you will be
well on your way to a balanced and healthy diet.
---> DO
eat fresh fruits and vegetables!. DON'T
eat junk food and soda pop! <---
|
 DO!
- Enjoy these natural and healthy
foods!
|
| Fish,
Poultry, Eggs, Fruits, Vegetables, Beans,
Whole Grains, Sprouted Grains, Raw Nuts
and Seeds |
| Organic
and unprocessed foods when available are
far more easily digested and provide nutrition
to promote health in your body without
harmful additives. |
| Fish
are also an invaluable source of protein.
However, bottom feeding, raw fish and
shellfish should be avoided and all fish
should be served with garlic for proper
digestion. |
| Poultry,
eaten skinless, and served with mustard
or ginger will facilitate proper digestion.
Note:
The chicken releases toxins through its
skin, and skin contains the most saturated
fat. |
| Eggs,
poached or soft boiled only, provide your
body with a valuable source of nutrients
including cholesterol which can be utilized
efficiently by the body when prepared
properly. |
| If
you eat beef, follow this guide - Beef Chart Muscle
protein is important for muscular health
in many people. Select cuts of natural
humanely-raised beef, free from nitrites
and nitrates, provide a valuable source
of protein and help ground our body
and mind. For proper digestion, beef
should be cooked rare to medium rare
in 4 oz. servings and served with horseradish
which aids digestion. Avoid hind quarters
as this is the area where the animal
itself accumulates toxins. |
| Fresh
squeezed fruit and vegetable juices
|
| Vegetables
eaten raw, steamed, or in soup, the shorter
the shelf life the better to preserve
valuable vitamins and minerals.
|
| Vegetables
according to their seasons tune the body
to nature's balance. |
| Lettuce,
green or red leaf, or romaine provide
essential nutrients. |
| Rainbow
Salads, as many colors as you can find,
eaten frequently provide your body with
a variety of essential nutrients.
|
| Potatoes,
baked not boiled (can be cooked in soups),
retain the nutritional value of an easily
digested carbohydrate. |
| Basmati
Rice contains a fuller nutritional value
than any other rice and is easy to digest.
|
| Raw
nuts only. Oiled nuts can be rancid and
make it very difficult for your body to
digest properly and retrieve the valuable
nutrients contained in them. |
| Raw
Apple Cider Vinegar is a good cleanser
and good for the health of the liver.
|
| Cold
Pressed or Expeller Pressed Oils are a
good source of easily digested essential
oils. (Avoid Canola oil.) |
| Tupelo
Honey has the lowest glycemic index and
is easily digested. |

desserts |

non-caffeinated teas (see Herbal Blends) are a wonderful
source of refreshment while providing

and minerals |

it alone. |

have honestly found it very easy to
maintain a healthy diet under all
circumstances. In fact, over
the years, we have perfected the art!
When
eating out, follow these simple suggestions.
-
Request
Romaine Lettuce in your salad rather
than head lettuce or iceburg lettuce.
-
A
slice of lemon makes a very nice salad
dressing.
-
Request
your beef rare or medium rare with
a side of horseradish.
-
If
eating Chinese, request no msg, or
ask which dishes do not contain msg.
-
Request
honey instead of sugar.
-
Just
say *No* to black pepper.

Even
if eating at fast food restaurants,
order as usual, (avoiding the fries)
and eat the sandwich without the bread.
Onions and green chilies are always
a good accouterment
