The French Organic Revolution

Few days ago, I watched this French DVD production, aka "Nos enfants nous accuseront" ( Our children will blame us ) and I really want to share this information.

Honestly, I was not expecting it to be a real story from agricultural France, where we esteem the foods to be created by gods!

I invite you to watch the trailer and if you have the resources to buy the DVD, watch it with your family and friends, because we need to change the way we buy, select and process what we eat.

Bon appetit and enjoy the trailer..

Select your cosmetics carefully




What does this have to do with nutrition?

Well, I used to work for NuSin many years ago, so the phylosophy was:
"Food for the skin, must be all of the good and none of the bad."

Okay, I understood that, but when I read the labels on most cosmetics or food stuffs, I read that a majority of these ingredients have no benefit at all for your skin nor stomach. Even worse, they are damaging.

So next time you buy, do some research. Google is there for you!
Be informed and no longer ignorant. Health care is too expensive to be ignorant of this.
When you buy a BMW, you make sure you have all the guarantees and the right engine in it and put the right oil and fuel.

Treat your body liewise! It is more valuable than a BMW..

Vegetables That Fight Abdominal Fat

A unique way that a few specific vegetables can actually stimulate the burning of abdominal fat...

(article by Mike Geary, Certified Nutrition Specialist)

Flat six pack,I bet you didn't know that there is a specific class of vegetables that contain very specific phyto nutrients that actually help to fight against stubborn belly fat.

Certain chemicals in our food supply and our environment, such as pesticides, herbicides, and certain petrochemicals from air and water pollution, household cleaners, cosmetics, etc can react with your body and make your body store excess abdominal fat.

These chemicals are known as xenoestrogens.

Xenoestrogens are chemicals that you are exposed to (and are hard to avoid in the modern world) that have an estrogenic effect in your body. Excess exposure to these can cause hormone balance disruptions for both men and women. So these can wreak havoc in the body for both guys and gals.

These estrogenic chemicals that we are exposed to on a daily basis can stimulate your body to store belly fat, along with many other problems (including cancer risks in the long term).

Cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, kale, cabbage, etc. contain very specific and unique phytonutrients such as indole-3-carbinol (I3C) that help to fight against these estrogenic compounds...

And by fighting against these belly fat stimulating estrogenic chemicals, this is just 1 more step in helping you to win the battle against abdominal fat!

Another (good) excuse to do what Mum always told you and eat more broccoli!

PS. In particular, I like to eat steamed Brussels Sprouts with some pepper or muscat powder over it!

Can we eat to prevent or starve cancer ?



Cancer, obesity ... what should we eat to prevent it?

Resveratrol (red wine), Lycopene (cooked tomatoes), blueberries ... funny...I seem to read this also in the book of Genesis.

Let your Food be your Medicin





Hippocrates
was not the first one in saying this!


Some quotes:

"1/4 of what you eat keeps You alive, 3/4 of what you eat keeps your doctor alive."

"We are poisoning ourselves with processed, nutrient depleted foods."

"We are genetically modifying foods we don't know anything about."

Tasty Food = Healthy Food ?

Not if you understand what is behind so called tasty food found in most of the restaurant, processed, canned and packed foods offered.

MSG. Mono Sodium Glutamate is not a food ingredient! Though it has become a food additive, contributing to many of the modern day diseases and illnesses.

Next time, you'd better ask your waiter what they put in your food or you are slowly killing yourself and especially your kids who are very sensitive to these excitotoxins !!

For more info on this, see Dr Russel Blaylock dedicated web site.

or if you have time see this documentary:

Green Smoothies


.
.
Last December I was with my family visiting some friends in North Thailand. We arrived very early in the morning by train and were ready for breakfast in his home. Marcus gently enquired of us if we eat fruit in the morning and if we had heard of green smoothies.

We were already adding more and more raw veggies to our diet, but this blew my mind.
He started putting some green leafy vegetables in a blender, ice water, topped with some tropical fruits and stevia and: WOOOOSSSHHH ... a minute later this green mix was served in a nice cocktail glass!


It tasted great. Since then, I have been a bit hooked on these smoothies... so much so that I even blend my lunch salad now.
So much easier to eat and digest! and no need to add seasoning, etc...


Here are some links to some useful info on how to start:
