As a medical practitioner many of the complaints I hear, like weight gain, feeling sluggish, difficulty sleeping, feeling depressed or anxious would be helped dramatically by eating more live greens, fewer french fries and other processed foods. Many people eat the same nutrient poor, processed foods over and over again and don’t know why they feel lousy. The foods you eat fuels your brain and your body. You can either supercharge your body with top quality fuel or choose a fuel that makes you feel weak, tired and low energy.
The best thing you can do for your brain and body is to eat fresh, live foods from the earth. This means eat mostly greens, vegetables, sprouts, nuts and seeds. If you eat live greens and fresh organic foods your brain and body will thrive. You will have more energy, sleep better, feel more alert and will be overall healthier. By super charging your body with live foods, you provide your body with the optimal nutrition for health.

“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” – Hippocrates
The foods you eat will either nourish you or pollute you.
A plant-based diet of organic produce rich in enzymes will grow a healthier you. What you eat and drink will determine your vitality, energy, overall health and longevity. Eat local organic or unsprayed, non-GMO seasonal fruits and veggies. Eat nutrient dense leafy greens from the earth like kale, arugula, watercress and from the ocean like spirulina, chlorella, and seaweed. Explore and include sprouts like sunflower, broccoli and radish sprouts, in your meals as they are enzymatically rich, have a concentrated nutrient profile and many other health benefits. A shot of wheatgrass or green juice is an immune system elixir.
Eat raw, unpasteurized nuts and seeds after soaking to reduce phytic acid and eliminate enzyme inhibitors that bind to minerals in the gastrointestinal tract and may cause digestive problems. Soaking nuts and seeds, performed routinely in traditional cultures, increases the bioavailability of important nutrients and activates enzymes to increase nutrient absorption.
Make nut milks, dips, dressings, and healthy treats. Eat probiotics by adding fermented foods like sauerkraut, pickled vegetables, and kimchi to your meals. Create large salads of leafy greens, veggies, avocado, fermented foods and seeds with homemade plant-based dressings, veggie soups or stews. Soak chickpeas, lentils, and beans overnight before adding to veggie soups and stews. A green smoothie is a yummy, quick, nutrient dense meal as well. God has gifted us an abundance of veggies, herbs and spices to use in the creation of rainbow colored meals. Consider your food shopping, meal preparation and eating practices as part of your spirituality and long-term health plan. Best to eat as clean as you can. Make your health a priority. Make you a priority. Create good habits: go to a weekly farmers market, join a CSA or community garden, grow sunflower sprouts and other micro greens indoors. Keep it simple by starting a garden with a few pots. Create breads, fruit snacks, kale chips in a dehydrator. Remember: Eat well. Strive to eat a better, more wholesome plant-based diet. Pace yourself as this is a marathon, not a sprint. Take time to research and explore new plant based dishes. You will look better, feel stronger and think clearer when you eat a cleaner diet. Find simple, sustainable recipes you enjoy, for everyday eating, birthdays and holidays too. When cooking, be conscious of the oils you use as they have different smoke points – temperatures in which they break down and become carcinogenic. The smoke point of avocado oil is approximately 520 degrees, grapeseed oil is 410 degrees, high quality/low acidity extra virgin olive oil is 405 degrees and coconut oil is 350 degrees. Use oil judiciously as it slows down digestion. Caveat: If you do not feel your best on a plant based diet, you may be detoxing, have an autoimmune disorder, or not eating a balanced plant based diet.

We have evolved from an agricultural society to a modern, automated society with a very different landscape. Since the industrial revolution began in the late 1800’s, production methods and manufacturing processes have become more efficient and science has made tremendous advancements. Over the last few centuries, our daily lives have changed dramatically. We have been ushered into a modern age of fast food, disposable materials and synthetic products. This new post-industrial age has caused environmental pollution on a grand scale. This climate of toxicity affects the air you breathe, the water you drink and the food you eat. These pollutants cause harm to your body, threatening your vitality and limiting your longevity. Day by day, your internal toxic load grows – challenging your physical health. Many children born today begin their lives with a genetic toxic load inherited from their parents. Pets are becoming ill from herbicides, pesticides and drinking water runoff contaminated with chemicals. Face masks are worn daily in some parts of the world to filter out air pollution. Water pollution is a pervasive problem that affects our drinking water, cooking water and We have evolved from an agricultural society to a modern, automated society with a very different landscape.

Many children born today begin their lives with a genetic toxic load inherited from their parents. Pets are becoming ill from herbicides, pesticides and drinking water runoff contaminated with chemicals. Face masks are worn daily in some parts of the world to filter out air pollution. Water pollution is a pervasive problem that affects our drinking water, cooking water and bathing water. Soil depleted in minerals produces vegetables depleted in minerals. Pesticides sprayed on growing food is ingested in baby food. Technological advancements have created daily, moment to moment, media coverage, and programming. Modern devices, especially hand-held ones, allow us to be entertained and engaged during all hours of the day and night – interfering with our natural circadian rhythm. The hijacking of this internal rhythm, which regulates the sleep-wake cycle, contributes to sleep deprivation. We have moved far away from an agricultural society which wakes with the sun and turns in with the moon. Sleeping is crucial to our health as bodily healing, recovery, and recharging takes place at this time. Noise pollution, especially in cities, deprives us of opportunities to listen to nature, and to hear the whispers of the universe and the divine within us.
