One bite at a time.
Welcome back everyone.
Skip Mauney, co-host slashproducer, back in the studio
with owners of HolographicHealth Inc.
Reverend Anne-Marie Byers andRochelle Janaris.
Good to see you, ladies bothagain.
How's your week been?
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Good Skip.
How about yours?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
It's been great, but
I am thankful that it's Friday,
as I'm sure you are as wellAwesome.
So today we are nourishing theconversation with a deep dive
into alkaline, an alkaline diet,and why it's more than just a
wellness trend.
(01:15):
Ladies, let's talk about theimportance of an alkaline diet.
Take it away.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Well, years ago I had
a cancer diagnosis and I had a
good friend who was a medicaldoctor who said have you read
Alkalize or Die by Dr TheodoraPeruti?
And I had had this book on mybookshelf for years but I had
never actually read the book andit talks about the importance
(01:47):
of eating an alkaline diet, howcertain foods produce alkaline
ash in the body and how virusesand bacteria really cannot live
in an alkaline environment.
The thing that's true iscancers in an alkaline
environment.
The thing that's true iscancers.
(02:08):
So I read the book and finallyfound that Dr Baruti lived in
the same city I did and ended upwith a practitioner doing a
holographic health assessmentthe day before I had my first
surgery, the day before I had myfirst surgery, and so I met Dr
(02:29):
Baruti after that and embracedthe whole holographic health
system because I utilized thatto heal.
But the importance is foodsthat create an alkaline ash in
the body are your fruits andvegetables.
Some of the best alkalineproducing foods are lemon and
(02:52):
watermelon and you hold a lemonin your hand and it feels kind
of acidic, but when you ingestthat it creates an alkaline ash
in the body and you want to eat.
At least we have an 80-20 chartthat lists the alkaline
producing foods in order.
(03:13):
So, on the alkaline end are,you know, of course, the lemon
and watermelon, but it's alsohow you live your life.
But it's also how you live yourlife, the love and kindness,
the prayer, the meditation,those are all alkaline forming.
And then it moves over into theacidic foods and the acidic
(03:40):
lifestyle, and acidic foods arethe acid producing foods, are
meat and sugar.
Sugar is one of the most acidicfoods and acid-producing foods.
And then of course, there areartificial sweeteners that are
even worse, if you can imagineand overwork anger, fear,
(04:03):
jealousy, stress, all of those.
And you have, you know, a rangeon our chart of foods, going
from the alkaline to the acidic.
So you want to stay more onthat alkaline end.
And then you want to combineyour foods, and in the very
(04:27):
center of the Alkalizer Di Dietbook is a chart that Dr Brugge
developed on how to combinefoods to create an alkaline
environment.
And so vegetables need to bethe very center of your diet and
they have the good fiber andcombine well with anything.
And then you have fruits, whichshould be for eating first or
(04:51):
alone and are all moderatelyalkaline forming, even when
eaten together.
Then you have the heavyproteins, the meats and the
starches.
You should never combine meatsand starches.
So a sandwich or meat andpotatoes is the worst thing you
can do because those areextremely acid forming.
(05:16):
If you're going to do a protein,doing a light protein, like
beans, nuts, cheese, etc.
Those combine better Nowcombined with vegetables.
Those are slightly alkalineforming and those are only
slightly acid forming whencombined with vegetables.
(05:38):
So rule of thumb never eat meatand potatoes.
Eat good fruits and vegetables.
Eat fruits first or alone.
And if you're going to do aprotein with the meal, do nuts,
cheese or beans.
And if you follow this and youreduce stress, you take care of
(06:01):
yourself and balance your lifewith some prayer and meditation,
drinking lemon water anddrinking good water we talked
about that in another segmentthen you will do a lot better in
your health and this is what isso important, and so I found
(06:24):
this to be true.
The big part of my diet was howI was combining things and then
reducing stress and followingthis chart, eating more berries
and nuts and that kind of thing,and I've been a vegetarian
since 1990.
That was not the issue, but itwas how I was combining things
(06:45):
as well, and I think Rochelle isgoing to talk a little bit
about how you get children toeat a better diet.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Well, before you do,
I want to jump in and say I'm
now depressed because meat andpotatoes not together.
So what about fish and potatoes?
Or is it the same?
Speaker 3 (07:05):
it's still a heavy
protein.
Fish is not as heavy a proteinas beef or chicken etc.
But it's still.
You know it.
Beef is the most acidic, alongwith drugs and cigarettes and
pork and sugar, and then next ischicken and deer and rabbit and
(07:29):
that kind of turkey, and thendown one step from that is fish.
So at least fish is not asacidic as chicken or beef, but
it's still up there in themoderate.
Beef and chicken are up in theextremely acid-forming category,
(07:54):
according to Dr Brudy, but thenfish is down in the moderate
category and so it just goesdown from there.
So it would be better to eatfish than beef, but it would be
(08:14):
better to eat any of that withvegetables instead of potatoes
or bread.
Eggs are really kind of in thesame.
They're down in the moderatecategory.
They are not as acidic as fish.
(08:37):
So they're still in themoderate category, but less
acidic than fish.
You'd be better off with an eggthan fish, better off with fish
than chicken, better off withchicken than beef.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
The key here is don't
overindulge in one food group.
Make sure that, like Anne said,the meat of your meal is
vegetables and then build it outfrom there, Keeping in mind
that you know the meats and theheavier proteins are going to be
more acid forming in your body.
So keeping that balance in mind, of like how to build your
(09:32):
plate to be more balanced, notlike a food pyramid, because
that's out of balance, but moreof like vegetables at the center
and then add a few littlethings out from there and not
overindulge in any one thing,but not to not enjoy your food
too.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Enjoying food is
extremely important and you know
eating something like anavocado and some berries for
breakfast and maybe having yoursourdough bread then.
Then maybe for lunch you have agood salad, and if you are a
carnivore and you want to dofish, then you know you can do
that, and maybe for dinner youcan do your potatoes and some
(10:08):
beans instead of you know a meatwhich is a lot more healthy,
with some good fiber and or somenuts and cheese.
You know, depending on yoursensitivity to dairy, we don't
want to overdo the dairy, butcheese is acceptable in small
quantities.
(10:28):
So you know having a good chilithat is meat-free at this point
and maybe saving your meat fora lunch with some cheese, with
some salad or some othervegetables.
So it's figuring out how tobalance that out so that you're
(10:51):
eating more of an 80% alkalineto 20% acidic.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
Gotcha Brichelle, I'm
sorry, I interrupted you
earlier about you were going totalk about how kids but what's
been going through my head aswe're talking is like I kind of
I'm very scientific when I thinkabout food, but I think of like
a petri dish, right, and you'vegot, which is our body, and
then you add things to it andwhat we don't want to happen,
(11:18):
like Anne said, is these likecancers to form and grow, or
candida or you know things thatare really, that can really
overtake our body and and behazardous to our health.
So when we're combining foods,we're almost thinking of ways to
add things to that petri dishwithout anything happening.
(11:38):
So it's almost like a challenge, like what can I add to my dish
that will keep it in harmonyand balanced so that things
aren't growing and festering andtaking over my body that I
don't want there?
Um, but, yes, so kids, my childis a picky eater.
Um, I was a little picky when Iwas a kid too, so that can be
(12:01):
kind?
of challenging.
I still have my favorites, notgoing to lie.
But there's a way to becreative when we're working with
our palates and our preferences.
So you parents know their kidsthe best right.
So looking at, well, what doesmy child like, what do they
(12:23):
enjoy, what do they avoid?
I'm 99% sure that somethingthey like is alkaline for me.
So looking at what they enjoyand what they like, that is also
.
You know minimal ingredients,you know we're talking like
whole foods.
And then building, making surethat they're eating a lot of
that alkaline forming food andminimizing especially the sugar
(12:48):
for kids these days isimperative.
I I mean just looking at like abottle of ketchup.
There's so much sugar inketchup.
I saw a graphic the other daythat a gentleman posted on
social media a bottle ofbarbecue sauce and, no joke,
like 80% of it was filled withsugar.
Like he had the empty bottlewith the amount of sugar and
(13:09):
then the real thing and 80% ofit or more was just pure sugar.
And I'm like this is disgustingto think about it, which is
probably why my husband, when hehas barbecue sauce, his stomach
hurts all night long.
I digress anyway.
So finding what your childrenenjoy and what they like and
then kind of building their mealaround that, making sure that
(13:30):
they're never limit the alkalineforming foods like eat as much
as you want.
You know you got to have someprotein to build those muscles.
Make sure it's a lighterprotein, especially for our kids
because they do not want to beweighed down.
But also, you know, making sureespecially the vegetables.
That's, I know, hard for somekids.
(13:50):
I don't know that my daughter'sever eaten a vegetable, but a
good, a good multivitamin tokind of support that as they're
learning to eat and grow andwhat they eat, and don't
pressure them.
I know a lot of parents arereally worried about my kids not
eating this.
They should be with pressure onthem.
Usually it's a turn off.
Encourage food, play.
(14:11):
Maybe they don't want to eatthe carrot, maybe they'd rather
build a fort out of it.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
That's okay but if
they'll eat the cantaloupe or
the strawberries as much as theywant, it's good yes and then
you know peanut butter is a goodoption for kids.
Don't buy the peanut butterthat's loaded with sugar.
Really read your labels and youknow you don't want these
(14:38):
terrible hydrogenated oils.
You don't want the coloringsand you know nasty stuff.
Look at for a more naturalpeanut butter, but still
something they will eat.
Or maybe they like eating nuts.
You know nasty stuff.
Look at for a more naturalpeanut butter, but still
something they will eat.
Or maybe they like eating nuts,you know, once they get old
enough to do so.
Yeah, nuts are a wonderfulsource.
Walnuts are really good for thebrain and a developing brain
(15:01):
would be really good on walnuts.
And you know some kids thereare very few kids that don't
like peanut butter that's true.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
And if they can't
have a peanut butter, there are
plenty of options like sunflowerbutter, cashew butter, to kind
of fill that that niche in thepantry.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
But what about almond
?
Speaker 4 (15:23):
butter almond butter.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Yeah, that's good.
You know it has been said notto overdo the almonds.
A little is good.
Now, sunflower butter is myfavorite.
Several of us have kind of asensitivity to peanuts and
sunflower butter is excellent.
You can get an organic varietythat's very creamy, tastes
(15:49):
extremely good.
It's great for cooking.
If you want to cook with it,you'll substitute it for peanut
butter, and that's what we haveused for years.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
I've never had
sunflower butter.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
Yes, you ought to try
it.
It's really good.
It's more of a naturally sweetnut butter, if you will.
Yeah, it's my favorite.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Wow.
Well, ladies, I can't tell youhow interesting this has been.
And you know I'll try to getover my meat and potatoes
depression, but I try to eat.
You know, I try to eat a lot ofvegetables and I try to eat
fish.
I'll try to eat more fish thanmy wife.
However, she's a meat andpotatoes kind of girl, so I'm
going to have to share thisepisode with her for sure.
(16:36):
So, um, but appreciate it and,uh, we'll see you in the next
episode on holographic health.
