here i go again talking about sugar but it is because it is an issue in my eating habits. As someone who has always loved sugar too much i finally decided to tackle the problem head on as it not only is hindering me from losing weight but is negatively impacting my health. my teeth hair skin and energy all take a toll when sugar is consumed. so i have delved into reading a comprehensive Chinese medicine book to get to the root of the answers and grow from there. changing my thinking from carbs are bad to which carbs are not healthy is a huge help in understanding what to eat every day. sprouted grains are a great basis for a daily healthy eating regime. so i have started sprouting all my heirloom grains and rice to get more nutrients that are beneficial . also seeking out different sweet sources as the body does run on sweet and it is what grounds us to the earth. found date sugar and coconut palm sugar and the best of barley malt sugar. all contain nutrients and dont tax the body. added chia seeds for better digestion and omegas and my new favorite addition SPIRULINA and chlorella. super green foods. Spirulina contains as much protein as meat and amino acids as well as well as fighting cancer and degenerative diseases. so i have been making cookies from sprouted oat rice einkorn and quinoa flour. found out that not all oils are the same so started only using unrefined organic coconut and olive oils sparingly. the final part to this last months investigations into food with TCM is not eating past 7 PM allowing my body to digest properly and do other things during the night like heal rest and regeerate. its working i feel great have more energy and am already losing a few pounds. Knowledge is key.
