I’m super busy but keeping my blogging Monday through Friday 2000-and-now challenge before the end of each day in effect! Between writing upcoming books/guides with Maryl and getting our Shop ready to launch soon I have to literally set my alarm 8 times a day to make sure I keep drinking alkaline liquids throughout the day to keep hydrated. I was in design mode all day, but I wanted to share what sort of nourishing high frequencies foods were in my world today. This doesn’t include the GIAGANTOR (larger then giant…literally you should see my mixing bowl) dark green salad with a huge load of plant-based goodies in it that I’m going to go have in a little while. Know that I am currently extra OBSESSED with baked yams and Ceylon cinnamon. My FAVORITE snack…ever. I grew up eating yams all the time in Peru, so its always a staple in my alchemical kitchen but lately my body must be wanting loads of vitamin A and C for some reason cause I’m eating lots of red color items…. I like to cut them like the picture above and wrap them with strips of dulse (red algae)…YUM!
This is another red item that I have been having lately and it rocks my world and body. Don’t be deceived by appearances of red juices, it’s not just a beet juice, its actually a green mega nutrient dense smoothie, mix with other berrylicious antioxidant friends and plant-based goodness, but the red pigment takes over. The recipe of this ultra awesome drink (which is a super-mega detoxifying smoothie) will be available in our (maryl’s and I) upcoming nutrition/cookbook. YAY!!!!!!! Til tomm Darlings.
By the way: In case you are wondering what probiotics read this. I’m determined to make my own this year.
Reminder: read this in case you are wondering about the longer then life+run on sentences you may encounter.
Blueberries by HLife Photography
Memory: Scientists are reporting the first evidence from human research that blueberries – one of the richest sources of healthful antioxidants and other phytochemicals – improve memory. previous studies in laboratory animals suggest that eating blueberries may help boost memory in the aged, but until now there had been little scientific work aimed at testing the effect of blueberries on memory in people. The research, published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, found that participants who drank blueberry juice showed significant improvement on learning and memory tests. “These findings are encouraging and suggest that consistent supplementation with blueberries may offer an approach to forestall or mitigate neurodegeneration,” said the authors of the report.

It is said that there is no such thing as good or evil – just useless and useful stuff. It is also said that 80% of our immune system resides in our intestines. Taking these two premises, we’re going to introduce you to the key to intestinal – and consequently overall – health: Probiotics.
Probiotics (from the Latin pro meaning “for” and bio meaning “life” are dietary supplements that consist of microorganisms that are beneficial for our health. These beneficial organisms are the “friendly” bacteria that colonize our intestines (yes, they make cozy homes in there, and you’re about to find out why you should be very grateful for this, so stop saying “eew!”) and help boost our immune system by maintaining a balanced ratio of good (useful) or bad (disease-causing) organisms in our bodies. In case you didn’t know, our bodies are homes to zillions of microorganisms – many of which are bacterial – that either help or hurt us, and it is a balance of all of them that determines whether we get sick or not. The intestine is home to hundreds of different species of these guys and, as you can imagine, the struggle to see who’s gonna stay alive is constant and tough. Will the friendly bacteria prevail and keep you healthy? Or will the unfriendly bacteria take over and make you sick? It’s all determined by you and what you choose to eat. Read More…
