Eating healthy,BODY ECOLOGY Style

Hi everybody!Hope your all doing good.Today I want to discuss eating healthy,but taking it up a notch.It may seem hard at first to eat really healthy but we just take baby steps.Especially with children[and husbands]you have to ease them in it and be a little sneaky.I am working on my exams right now and am learning alot about how important our PH is.Most of us are too acidic and eat far too much protein.We need protein but not in near the large doses that is being promoted.A few things we can do to help digest our protein meals and also help alkalize us when we eat acidic foods such as meat or refined foods are to add sea salt or cayenne to our food.Organic sodium is very alkalizing.Also, having raw apple cider vinegar or lemon juice in warm water with your meals,and eating cultured vegetables or kefir with every meal.All these things help restore good digestion which is the foundation to good health.Another that we need to do more of is to presoak all our grains beans and nuts before eating them,especially the grains and beans because this helps break up the phytic acid in them which is a huge factor in the prevalence of grain and gluten allergies.Freshly ground flour is also much healthier because the chemical components in flour change after three days of being ground.I have ordered me agrinder and will be soaking and grinding my flour and making my own pasta from now on.Sprouting is wonderful too.A book that I have that will teach you everything you need to know about restoring balance to your health through fermented foods and how to do these things is THE BODY ECOLOGY DIET.They also have a free newsletter that is very helpful and I have learned a lot from them.Their principles go right along with the courses that I'M taking.I finally got to taste the cultured vegetables that I made and they are delicious.You can season them and add them to salads,sandwiches,smoothies or just eat them straight.My dog even loved them.If you really want to be healthy then it is so important to get rid of the candida,and all of these diet changes will help to do that.For those who are gluten sensitive or severely grain intolerant then their is a fermented grain supplement that is designed to help cure that along with following these priciples .It is calledB.E. WHOLEGRAIN LIQUID.This supplement is safe for celiacs as well as the gluten in the grains is destroyed through the fermentation.I will send a link to the website to order it I got it for us as we have severe grain sensitivities and will keep you posted on how we are feeling.https://shop.bodyecology.com/prodinfo.asp?number=BE050
