Food IdeasBeans and Rice, pinto and brown rice, not white rice. not overcooked cooked slowly at as low temperature as possible..... cook it slower but longer for best preservation of all nutrients. Can add little bits of bacon, ground meat, but prefer very small pieces, and only as a supplement to the complete protein of beans and rice. Dark green salads. The more green, the more chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is very similar to hemiglobin, and very helpful to the body. Take all you can get in what you eat. Different colored foods. Try to get as much as possible. You wouldn't want to eat all white food or all brown food, mix it up. Take advantage of God's color coded hints for variety. We don't have to know everything about all the details to benefit from all the details when we follow the big picture. If you know the big picture and stay within that framework, you should come out much better than going outside the framework, the big plan. That means, take some of the yellow squash, the dark green kale and spinach, the darker and red lettuce, the purple plums, the red tomatoes, the pink cherries, the brown rice, and the red beans. Moderate your meat. Listen to your body. Take as much as your body wants but try to eat as much as possible of the other foods, and not just use meat as a full meal all by itself. Let it be a supplement to the rest of what you eat. Takes a long time to digest beef. Give your stomach and intestines a rest from digesting beef sometimes during the week. Again, the temperature at which you cook the meat is important. Please notice that if you cook it at a high temperature for a long time, it finally reduces to ashes and charcoal and gas. That is the process of cooking, the end result of total application of heat. So use heat sparingly, use time more. Cook it for a longer time at a lower temperature. That will preserve more of the protein value in the meat. When you get meat hungry, mix and match your proteins for full coverage of all the amino acids. Milk, beans and rice, and meat gives a full spectrum coverage of the amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of the protein, which is what we want when we get "meat hungry". Take your olive oil. About a teaspoon per day per hundred pounds. More or less. It supplies EFA's. Your body needs it. Lots to learn about that. America's soil is deficient in nutrients. Take your mineral supplements. Too many are not getting sufficient soft minerals for optimum health, mentally and physically. The major minerals are calcium, magnesium, and manganese. Can use powdered milk added to soups, milk, stews, beans and rice, for extra calcium. Kelp and alfalfa are rich in mineral nutrients and other good things for the body. Either or both make a good general nutritional supplement which would benefit many. Debittered Brewers Yeast is a great natural all round B-Vitamin supplement. There are some studies reporting that man-made synthesized so called vitamins are not the same as those grown and produced in nature, by God's creation. So the Brewer's Yeast, Kelp, Alfalfa, and olive oil are recommended over man made substitutes for general nutrition support. There is great debate in the world on the above topic of naturally grown food substances verses laboratory produced chemicals. I prefer the naturally grown. Avoid GMF, Genetically Modified Food. Only God knows how the genetic alteration can affect your body chemistry. But some men , many ? still prefer to argue that point and try to make you believe it's perfectly safe for you to eat their version of corn or wheat or cow meat or pork, or whatever. Don't believe them. Their statements are an assumption on their part and have not been proven. Use filtered water, and drink enough each day. Take time to eat in peace. Take time to chew. Take time to be at peace.
COOKING:
Cancer and heart problems are happening to teenagers now. Olive oil will supply desparately needed nutrients to give the body what it needs to protect. Those two problems, cancer and heart, have increased as the American diet has decreased in EFA's. ABSOLUTELY DO NOT EAT ARTIFICIAL SWEETNERS. Huge commercialism fraud on this just like with cigarett ads of the fifties saying cigaretts were good for people. Ton's of info available on the internet. General guide. Soft and wet food is more helpful than brittle overcooked. Consider your body. It is supple, lots of moisture, and very sensitive to heat. So apply that thought to your foods and how you prepare them. Look at the big picture, accepting God's point of view, and expect good results. Eat the orange, and eat the white off of the orange peel. That white stuff contains Rutin. Affectionately known as Vitamin P by nutritionists. Rutin works synergistically with Vitamin C. Another words the two of them together accomplish more than either alone. Very important. Eat a bananna a day for the calcium. In Plane Geometry we have what is called "Extend the Line". It's a way to see where something is going. By applying that concept to everyday situations you can better evaluate some things. Example: it's easier to hit a target with a rifle than with a short barreled pistol. Why? On the rifle you have an extended line of sight by which to see where the bullet is going. Same thing applies to reasoning and understanding of many things. Take the experiment of burning sugar in a spoon over a flame and extend the example to include a piece of meat. Then consider if it was your thumb in the flame. Then a piece of potatoe or tomatoe. You get the point about using low temperature for food preparation if you want to preserve nutrient value.
A triplet for living.
Let God be your Supreme Authority
Keep your virtue.
Chose life always.
