Those processed 'natural' bars still can't compete with the vast array of natural benefits from a wholesome fresh and organic produce lifestyle and should be consumed in moderation only and is no substitute for a healthy / balanced lifestyle(very handy when you're out and about with nowt to eat). They're still processed food and mass-produced in a factory(albeit a smaller and ethically-aware one).<br />
<br />
The best fuel for mind, body and soul nourishes, hydrates, strengthens and sustains are cells, brain and structure.<br />
<br />
The best fuel gives us valuable oxygen to bring life into all our cells<br />
<br />
The best fuel remineralizes our physical structure<br />
<br />
The best fuel balances our hormones(think green:)<br />
<br />
The best fuel strengthens and supports<br />
<br />
The best fuel nurtures our brain, organs and glands<br />
<br />
The best fuel dispels negative thoughts and makes us naturally-happy<br />

The 'secret' is all down to the quality of fresh produce:) I hope you love it as much as I do, ENJOY!<br />

and STOP consuming foods I don't really enjoy ie cooked / processed food: long grain brown rice, cooked lentils, miso, tamari, nutritional yeast etc. One man's food or 'medicine' can be another man's 'poison' in the same way, one man's trash is another man's treasure' . I will eat to nourish and sustain. I enjoy and thrive on water-based(I'm a crab after all:) foods so the simplest creations in nature will suffice(no dyhydrator for this one, I wouldn't mind a Vitamix thought:). I eat what I eat because it's empowering and it keeps me strong(yeah baby:)!Cosmichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16914679393048652782noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1933222395427897082.post-49666027508302063212011-01-17T06:08:00.000-08:002011-01-17T06:08:42.553-08:00Simply Peachy Buckwheaties(Breafast today:)Appreciated a scrummy bowl of white peaches(sourced by OH from the market :), buckwheaties and ground cardamon for brekkie today.<br />

Started my Sunday with the most satiatingly-sublime green smoothie brunch: organic pointed sweet cabbage,<br />
3 small local(Kent) apples, juice of 2 lemons(lemon and lime juice are soo incredibly-versatile and adds a real depth of flavor to any juice, smoothie or meal:) and a small, but perfectly-ripe avocado; ah what bliss in a glass. It was DELICIOUS! Go on try it for yourself(you know you want to:0), I dare you?!

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Choose which habits you are going to destroy in the New Year. Make up your mind about them and stick to your decision. Resolve to give more time to God: to meditate regularly every day, and on one night each week to meditate several hours, so that you can feel your spiritual progress in God. Resolve that you are going to practice Kriya Yoga regularly and that you are going to control your appetites and emotions. Be a master!<br />
<br />

<br />
I'm about to embark on a experiment to cut down the amount of chemicals pollutants(I say cut down as it would be foolish to think we can eradicate poisonous chemicals altogether more so especially on existing budget.<br />
<br />
I plan to this year radiate my talented gifts and light to the world!<br />
<br />
My wee helpers include:<br />
<br />
* Yoga and Meditation<br />
<br />
* Conservation work<br />
<br />
*Concentrate on one's innate healing abilities(we all have the capacity to heal:)<br />
<br />
* Very simple plant-based diet<br />
<br />
* Consuming pure water<br />
<br />
* Community work of some kind ie making more folk aware of the poisonous effects of common house-hold cleaners ie bleach and offering suitable safe non-toxic alternatives<br />
<br />
Big Hugs and Thank-you to *Veronika Robinson and indeed ALL the amazing Light Workers out there(you know who you are:), I'm indebited to you all.<br />
<br />
Veronika is a entrepreneurial mother and the founder of 'The Mother' magazine.<br />

Almonds are wonderfully versatile that can transform the simplest ingredients into a high-energy meal in itself. Great for ultra-healthy milks, vegan ice creams, desserts, sweet / savoury pie an tart crusts, you name it the humble almond is a handy kitchen staple. Alkaline, pure protein, Essential B Vitamins, vitamin E, calcium, Mg, it's got the lot.Cosmichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16914679393048652782noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1933222395427897082.post-70239281358508185952010-12-28T13:03:00.000-08:002010-12-28T13:03:50.655-08:00Creative Festive Treat!Created a wonderfully-decadent and rich(well, the festivities are coming to a close until next year:) dessert made from almonds, ripe bananas, few unsulphured apricots, lacuma and ground cardamom.

For brunch I succumbed to two massive bowls of wholewheat penne pasta(tomatoes, olive oil, black pepper, sea salt and of course chili:). Dangerous territory indeed! pasta(and indeed all cooked processed carbs etc.) is poison to this individual. I have been known to gorge my way through mounds of the stuff ( it's the highly-addictive opiates) and at least one 500g pack in one sitting. Having lived this mortal coil for decades now I have to conclude that all cooked and processed foods is poison and destructive and one is better of abstaining from them. I'm fortunate that my favourite food is fruit so here's to my angst-free and water-blessed life. Has anyone read 'Your Body's Many Crys for water' by a Dr, Batmanji(sp) and another good very thin publication is 'The Choice is Clear' by American physician, Dr, Allan E. Banik ? Well worth a read I say(as is Colon Health by Dr. Norman Walker)!<br />
<br />
I'm feel quite fortunate to have this platform to help myself and if Clare Nasir can transform her figure in such a short space of time(I'm envious) that I can be motivated to get fit for life!

I really enjoyed my sage and onion festive-inspired, plant-based 'living' main course of sprouted sunflower seeds, red onion, dried sage, grated carrot, turmeric Haidi), chili powder and tamari. So easy to prepare with a day (or two) germinated seeds and a few basics, simply serve with seasonal greens and roots. A dish that even a hard-core carnivore can't say no too! I created this on a whim when I craved a Christmas savoury meal and it really hits the spot. As for baby Jesus' birthday itself I craved good a ole' black eye bean curry(I've been craving curry for months:).<br />
