Eating for Heath:

It seems many of us have gotten far away from healthy eating, with all of our pre-packaged, pop it in the microwave, save a minute in the kitchen attitude about food.   And many people don't really know what is healthy anymore.    So let's start with the basics and then build from there.    Start with fresh, organic if possible,  fruits and veggies, whole grains, good fats and good protein.  

In the fifteen years I've been working with and suggesting the blood type diets, I've seen many people turn their health around.   Check out Peter D'Adamo's books:  "Eat Right for Your Blood Type" for your basic plan, and if you want more in depth knowledge about food as medicine, there is "Healing With Whole Fooods"  by Paul Pitchard, an amazing book that reveals each food's attributes from Chinese Medicines principles of taste, temperature, organ systems affected, and much more.

Patients are always asking me what do I eat.   Right now I'm eating a sweet potato - garnet, that was baked in the oven.   I put coconut oil on it though have been known to use butter - always raw and organic and I prefer lightly salted!   With a cup of organic black cardamon tea, loaded with lemon juice and a bit of raw honey and a teaspoon of Maca powder!    Often I'll soak Chia seeds in warm water till they're sorta slippery, and throw those in a blender with 1/2 a lemon with the peel on.... make sure it's an organic lemon!   I'll toss in whatever fruits I have on hand or I may go with a veggie smoothie, either way, just make it with things you enjoy.   The chia seeds are a great source of protein and one of the best sources of healthy fats. and you only need a tsp of them to give you energy for hours.   Be sure to drink good fluids when you're consuming chia seeds as they are water lovers and will absorb fluids from your intestines..... and you don't want to constipate yourself!.    

More to follow.... right now I have a kitten who doesn't feel well and I need to take care of her!
