Speaker 2 (00:35):
Welcome beautiful people to organic healthy Lifestyle and I'm Nanciatis
and your host, and I love to start off my
show with prayer, so if you're joined me in whichever
way you would like, today, I'm going to read the
Lord's Prayer translated straight from Aromatic into English, which is
a very different version than what year from Aramaic to
(00:57):
Greek to Latin to English. Hold on to your hats,
a cosmic birther of all radiance and vibration. Soften the
ground of our being, and carve out a space within
us where your presence can abide. Fill us with your
creativity so that we may be empowered to bear the
fruit of your mission. And let each of our actions
(01:20):
bear fruit in accordance with our desire, and doow us
with the wisdom to produce and share what each being
needs to grow and flourish. Untie the tangled threads of
destiny that bind us as we release others from the
entanglement of past mistakes. Do not let us be seduced
by that which would divert us from our true purpose,
(01:43):
but illuminate the opportunities of the present moment. For you
are the ground and the fruitful vision, the birth, the power,
and the fulfillment as all is gathered and made whole
once again. And I ask this in the highest good
of all concerned, for everyone listening now and for everyone
listening in the future, and thank you. And so it is.
(02:06):
So today, I've been having people ask me about nutrition things.
So today I thought, I would, you know, talk about
various things that help us be healthier. But I did
just get noticed from a group called the Million Podcasts Group,
and they said that I've been recognized as a top
(02:28):
one hundred healthy eating podcast and also as a top
one hundred nutrition podcast, So you know, that was very
nice to get that recognition. And they also upload my
shows to the public library and the Philippines, which is
just really fascinating and lovely. And I've worked with various
(02:52):
people from the Philippines in my life and they're delightful people.
So it's so nice that because of the technology today
were able to connect with people around the world, and
I'm thrilled that they love my shows. So I'm going
to answer some questions today from listeners and then also
(03:14):
if any of y'all are listening now and you have
a question, you can you can ask them here as well,
and my sound engineer, Rebel, will let me know what
they are. So one of my first questions, and I
thought this was really interesting, but I've had people ask me,
you know, why would you not want to drink out
(03:36):
of like the carton and your refrigerator, you know, especially
if you're like live by yourself, then you don't have
to share that carton of you know, whatever it is
for juice with anybody else. Well, the thing is about
drinking out of a container is in our mouth. We
have lots of enzymes and it's probably the most absorbing
(04:00):
part of our body. But it's also where we start
digesting our food, and so in our mouth we have
very powerful digestive enzymes that are always working. And when
you take a sip of something like you know, say
there's a cart and of orange juice in the refrigerator,
and you know, somebody comes in and takes a big
(04:22):
swig of it and puts it back in. Some of
his digestive enzymes from his mouth have gotten into that
particular fluid or whatever's in that container, and it will
start to break it down, so it will it will
start oxidizing it and breaking it down so that it's
(04:45):
not as healthy and it's not as full bodied or
full of nutrition as you would have, you know, thought
it would be. And you know, it's kind of the
same thing with mauthwash. I think a lot of people
just you know, take us out of their mouth wash bottle,
but really the ideal way to do it would be
to pour it in a glass and drink it from there,
(05:07):
because whenever you're putting your life enzymes into that container,
whatever it may be, it's going to start disintegrating in
its quality. And really our food is challenged enough today,
so we don't need to like disintegrate it anymore. And
then they've probably already done that, So you know, it's
(05:31):
just always good to be aware of little things like
this and just you know, have a little cup there
that you pour, you know, you pour your your drink
into or something. And I have to admit, I look
at doing dishes these days as like meditation, and I
think so much of what we do with our lives
(05:54):
it's it's that story in our brain, what's going around
in our brain while we're doing it it and does
that make us feel good or does it not make
us feel good? Well, I esppecially, you could make any
situation you have to do positive or negative, depending on
how you want to look at it. And so I'm
(06:15):
going to just challenge all of everybody out here that
that's listening. I just want to challenge you to, you know,
really start and you can even keep a journal on this.
I and I've done this before and it was it
was actually very surprising to me some of the things
that I've found out. But if you keep a journal
(06:37):
of your thoughts, you know, like what's popping into your
head at what time and catch yourself, you know, coming
from victim mode or coming from lack or you know,
being too hard on yourself for you know, not being
perfect or or something like that, and you know, give
(06:59):
yourself a pat on the back for just being present
and being conscious. And really what's interesting is you can
start to curb that around, Like now, when I have
thoughts pop in my head that may not be you know,
the best positive thought. I say, thank you for showing up.
(07:20):
You know, I don't need this thought anymore. I have.
I have decided to go in a new direction with
that or something of that sort, and I just literally
change my thoughts and so you can do that. Let's see,
I'm getting a question here from Harriet. How quickly do
(07:41):
things from our mouth state in the cartains that we
drink from? Harriet, I really have to admit I have
no idea, because I suppose that would depend on the
size of the carton, how big is sip you took
from it, how much of your you know, body mouth
fluid got into it, what that particular thing is, and
(08:04):
you know, is it a big, huge bull carton or
is a little bitty one which is a tiny bit left.
I would think the one with the tiny bit left
would disintegrate faster because your enzymes would get to more
of it quicker. So I'm not sure about that one,
hear it. I think it would vary from container to
container and from whatever's in that container. And also kind
(08:28):
of maybe how how healthy you are, I mean, how
how active are the enzymes in your mouth? Because you know,
frequently as people age or or get sick, or if
they're chewing gum or something that uses up your enzymes
a whole lot, then you're going to age quicker and
(08:49):
you're not going to have the enzymes in them that
you might. So we're born with a certain amount of
enzymes in our body, and as we age, we use
those up and they and they disintegrate, and so as
we age, we need to, you know, not do things
(09:10):
like okay, So when you start chewing, you're telling your
body you're going to digest food. So every time you're chewing,
your body's going to make digestive enzymes and and you're
going to be using the precious limited supply of your
digestive inzymes. So people who like chew gum are the
(09:32):
people at chew gum are using up they're a very
precious limited store of digestive enzymes quicker than someone who's
not chewing gum. So they're, you know, the person chewing
gum is telling their brain they're going to eat something,
but they're not eating anything, they're not swallowing anything, they
don't need to digest anything, so they're really kind of
(09:52):
wasting their enzymes. And when our enzymes are gone we die,
we depend on those enzymes, so it's very important. Let's see,
I have a message here from Lance. It would take
a lot of time to write dots down, wouldn't you think? No,
not necessarily Lance. So let's just say you're keeping a
(10:14):
journal and you're going through your day and this thought
pops in your head and you and you're becoming aware
of your conscious thoughts and you you see that, Oh
my goodness, that thought was, you know, not an encouraging thought.
Let's say you know you were going to do something
(10:36):
and you kept telling yourself you were going to be late. Well,
are you actually creating that system of being late by
focusing on that and enlarging that particular energy or you know,
pinon you and I've done this before, focus on where
I'm supposed to be, and I imagine myself walking in
(10:57):
in perfect time and more time said, not that will
actually happen, But you know, it doesn't mean you have
to write a whole novel about everything. But you could
catch yourself having like a negative thought or you know,
oh I had a negative thought about this, or you know,
I haven't really healed over that trauma because you know
(11:20):
that thought came popping in, you know, and I think
many times we beat ourselves up over things we've done
in our life where we really believe that we could
have done a better job doing it, whatever that was,
but we did the best at the time that we could.
And I think, you know, we try to, you know,
(11:42):
look back on things and think that we're superhuman or something,
or you know, everybody should be perfect and nobody's perfect,
and we just try our best. So, you know, a
lot of it is just kind of seeing where your
thoughts go. And I have to admit I found out
my thoughts were more negative than I wish they were,
(12:05):
and I've really worked on changing that around. So so
deb is asking, how do we replenish enzimes. It's such
a great question. So we do that by eating a whole, raw,
organic living food. So what does that mean living food?
You know, when I grew up, we ate fresh food,
(12:26):
fruit off the tree or fresh fruit out of the garden,
right off the vine. That is raw and living food.
That is food that has not been cooked over one
hundred and eight to one hundred and ten degrees. It
hasn't been processed, it hasn't been radiated, it hasn't been
microwaved foods that are raw in their most natural form
(12:50):
is what provides enzymes, and so you know, this is
food that really nourishes the body. And so my in
my book Diabetes in Your Diet, one of the things
people have found over the years is that eating a
more or mostly raw food diet, and many people eat
(13:11):
one hundred percent raw all the time, that is the
best form for your health, and it replenishes your own
enzymes because you know, let's just take in for an example,
let's say you eat an apple. Well, that apple is
going to bring with it forty to fifty to sixty
percent of the live enzymes with it that you need
(13:35):
in order to process that apple in your digestive system.
And so it's supplementing your enzymes. But when you eat
cooked food or cooked you know, foods that have been baked, boiled, microwave, radiated,
any of that that's dead food has no live enzymes.
(13:56):
It can't replenish your body. It literally is like they
call it dead food. So if you want to have
you know, really vibrant health, it's really important to eat whole,
real food and its real form. And I've had clients
come to me and I health counsel people every day,
(14:19):
and if you would like to have me health counseling,
you please contact me at my website or getting healthylife
dot com, or you can email me at Nancy at
Nancyadison dot com and set up an appointment. But one
of the things that I have found is that so
(14:41):
many people grew up on fast food or microwave food
or process food, and they literally don't know how to
eat real food. And as I transition people from eating
orange juice to actually eating a whole orange that has
the fiber and all the nutrition in it, then you know,
(15:03):
just a orange juice that's got fourtified chemicals in it
and a lot of sugar. And of course, whenever you
do a pure fruit juice, you're just basically injecting pure
sugar into your bloodstream and causing your body to get diabetes.
So you know, I always say avoid raw fruit juices.
(15:24):
You've always got to have the fiber with it in
order to slow it down so it doesn't you know,
put pressure on your organs and make it tough for
your body. But you know, I'm going to challenge all
of you, see how many pieces of actual real food
can you eat in a day like I start off
(15:46):
my morning quite literally every morning, I peel an orange
or grapefruit or you know, some beautiful piece of fruit
to have. I had pineapple last week, organic pineapple. I
was able to find lush last week in a in
a grocery store. And you know, this week, I have
(16:08):
been having lots of oranges lately, which are super high
vitamin C. But now I'm doing grape fruit because our
bodies crave variety, and they crave seasonal So in North
America here, if you're listening and you're here and you're
you know, have this availability of all this fresh food,
(16:28):
I challenge you to, you know, see how many you
could eat in one day. You know, I like to
eat as much whole raw food in it's in its
real form, every day and as a little process cooked
food as possible. And that's really my ideal diet, And
(16:50):
especially in the summer when there's so much fresh food
available to us. In the winter, your body's meant to
handle a little bit of a more cooked food, Like
I may do some warm soups things like that in
the winter because those help your body handle different seasonal changes.
And so you know, it's just something that that I
(17:14):
think is so important, and so you know, instead of
instead of always reaching for something to cook. And I think,
you know, carbohydrates can be very, very appealing, but I
think there's also some some drawbacks to that. So anyway,
I would like to encourage everyone to eat some whole
(17:36):
real food and get those live enzymes in your body,
replenish those enzymes. What I found is when I start
working with someone with diabetes or cancer or you know,
some you know, really heavy duty health challenge that they
might might be having, if I get them started on
a whole, real organic food based up, they always, they
(18:03):
always start flourishing and their health starts turning around. And
it's amazing how just doing something as what seems as
simple as that has such a huge impact on your health.
And when I grew up, there was a saying called
an apple a day keeps the doctor away. And I
(18:25):
have no idea why you don't hear that anymore. But
the apples have so much nutrition in them. They've got fiber,
they've got vitamin C, they've got apple pectin, which you know,
doctor Brian Artist just loves apple pectin. He thinks the
fiber and apples is, you know, binds with such terrible
(18:48):
toxins and can really help heel the body in many ways.
And it can it can bind also with the really
toxic things. And you know, he talked about this when
he was talking about various toxins that they've been putting
in our water supply, in our air and things, and
(19:09):
so you know, it's always important to you know, really
just embrace eating, you know, real food and try to
avoid all the processed foods because I mean, these days
it's hard to even know what's in it anymore, and
the labeling is so misleading, and they've changed, they keep
(19:29):
changing the GMO terminology forum and now it says, you
know that they have a biological something in them. And
you know, you just have to do your best in
maneuvering the grocery store. But I highly encourage you to,
you know, find the outskirts where there's the fresh food.
(19:50):
Look for the organic, really by organic if you possibly can,
if you have access to that, because it's it's set
at least being looked at and tried to be grown
with a subtle chemicals as possible, whereas the alternative is
just the opposite. I mean, it's just so full of
(20:11):
chemicals in toxic herbicides grown with them and possibly genetically
modified seeds that you know, it's hard to even know
what what you're eating. So is particularly important for children
because their bodies are still growing and their organs are
(20:32):
still forming, so whatever they're ingesting is going to be
really important to you know how healthy they are. And
then recently I've had some people asking me are telling
me they were eating hydrolized protein, and some people were
saying that they're even giving their animals like foods with
(20:56):
hydrolyzed protein in it, and they didn't know what that was.
So tell you what hydrolyzed protein is. Hydrolyzed proteins are
actually flavor enhancers that have been chemically broken down into
amino acids, and as they're broken down during digestin digestion,
(21:20):
the result free glutamate joins with the body's free sodium
and it forms MSG, and free glutamate can cause the
body to react as if you're got a stimulating drug,
like it's introduced into your nervous system and it can
affect your insulin metabolism and create excessive insulin secretion by
(21:43):
the pancreas, and it can cause. It can cause symptoms
like anxiety attacks or asthma like symptoms, or attention deficit
disorder or burning sensation, or even a carpal tunnel syndrome.
You can also get chest pains and depression and diarrhea
(22:04):
and disorientation and dizziness and fatigue with this. So if
you're experiencing any of these things, then you want to
make sure you're avoiding anything that has monosodium glutinate in
it or MSG or hydrolyzed proteins. And in fact, it's
(22:25):
not just hydrolyzed proteins that is this MSG, that monsodium
glutinate that is just so addictive and incredibly bad for you.
Doctor Russell Blaylock wrote a book on this called The
Taste that Kills, and he says that you know, when
(22:47):
this is created in your mouth, it actually sends these
signals to your brain and it makes the pleasure part
of your brain think that it's eating something delicious, but
it's actually electrocuting that part of your brain and destroying
like the pleasure centers in your brain. And he is
(23:09):
a brain surgeon, and he discovered this when he was
working at you know, surgery on people's brains, and he
was like noticing these horribly unusual looking brains things in
the brains, and he started researching it and he found
out it's this MSG monaesodium glutenate. They still actually write
(23:33):
it out on some products, like I think it's the
Lay's potato chips, in the Doritos things like that Cheetos,
it's actually written out as like the third or fourth ingredient.
So it's got a lot of that in there. And
he said that it will actually cause brain damage. So
(23:54):
there's a lot of reasons to avoid this, and so
we want to, you know, be very thoughtful of it.
He says that there's a lot of additives in your
food that can contain this MSG. So hydrolyzed oat flour,
textured protein, yeast extract, plant protein extract, hydrolyzed plant protein,
(24:19):
hydrolyzed proteins, in hydrolyzed vegetable proteins. And I think they
put a lot of these in like fake meat products,
I know, and some people try to give up eating
meat and they go vegetarian, they have trouble, you know,
missing the meats that they ate, so they may eat
(24:40):
these fake meats that are made of soy and have
this MSG and type stuff in it. And personally, I
think you're better off eating the meat than the fake
meat or the soy or the MSG. And note I
just got another quite it says does the MSG have
(25:02):
to be on the label? No, it actually does not,
And in fact, it's very tricky. I mean it could
actually in the ingredient list, say it's something like flavoring
or natural flavoring, or seasons or spices or stuck or
broth or multi flavoring. I mean it can be in
(25:24):
any of those in the food and you would never
know it's the MSG. And so you know, the FDA
doesn't want us to know what's in our food, and
they make it so hard for us to be able
to tell. But you know, some of these MSG's are
in certain things in the food, and it's when it
(25:46):
touches your saliva that it gets turned into MSG. So
they can actually say it doesn't contain MSG, but then
when you put it in your mouth, then it's MSG.
So it's very very tricky. So I just you know,
the things they do to our food, it's really quite remarkable.
(26:09):
So we have another question here, what type of things
can they put into our food? Supply without putting it
on the label. Well, it sends to me just by
reading what I read, they can pretty much put an
unbelievable amount of not even food items in your food,
(26:30):
but chemicals and everything else. And if it ever has
the word natural on it, the word natural means absolutely
nothing as far as food labeling goes. It can be
one hundred percent chemical and be labeled natural. So you
really have to put on your Sherlock homes hap whenever
you go to the grocery store and read those ingredients,
(26:54):
because they're putting the ones on there they're forced to
put on there. But certain ingredients that they put under
a certain amount, they can put it in there without
even listing it on the package. So this is just
another reason why you would want to eat real food
in its whole, real form, like a real apple or
(27:15):
eat a real orange. And when you're doing that and
you know it's been grown with a certified organic seed
or you know hopefully they have grown it that way,
then you can be a little more assured that you're
eating real food. And so I have another question on
(27:38):
bioengineered food. So bioengineered food is food that where they've
basically taken the seeds and they've spliced certain things into them,
and usually that's a toxic poison because many of the
times when they're doing this type of thing, they're thinking
(28:01):
weed prevention, pest prevention, that kind of thing, and so
they build the poison right into the food. Like let's
take for instance, corn. So corn in the United States
has been genetically modified to have a bt toxin in it,
which actually makes a pesticide in your gut after you've
(28:25):
eaten this. And what this is supposed to do when
like insects are on the crops when they're growing, it's
supposed to eat holes in the insects stomach and then
they die. But what the studies found in Canada was
that let's say they're growing this bet tox and corn,
(28:48):
which actually if you eat it, it makes holes in
your own stomach and it also can get into your
gut and make your gut make its own pesticide, which
is quite shocking and alarming in itself. But they found
out that if they were feeding that to like animals,
like to cattle, and then you ate the meat from
(29:12):
that particular cattle that ate that food, then it's going
to eat holes in your stomach too, because it hasn't
been destroyed in any of the digestive processes. In these
these poisons that they build into the seeds, you know,
you can't just make them go away at the blink
(29:34):
of an eye. They are there. And it's like doctor
Artist was sharing on one of my shows recently that
there have been well over a thousand patents to put
poison and snake venom into our fruits and vegetable seeds
in the last year and a half two years. And
(29:55):
you know, like lsu is splicing toxic snake venom into rice,
and being a vegetarian that eats things like rice and quemua,
I find this quite alarming, and so I always really
encourage everybody, you know, join the Organic Association. Let your
(30:18):
voice be heard, speak up and really vote with your dollars.
If you are buying organic every time, and you're supporting
the farmers that are doing the right thing and not
destroying the world or the earth, then you know, that's
a really good thing. So think about how you're spending
(30:39):
your money. Your money is like your vote, and so
you know, if you care about something, then that's where
you should probably be directing your money. But so anyway,
I hope that answers some of those questions about the enzymes,
and I think it's just really important. But I think,
you know, let's just talk a man about carbohydrates because
(31:01):
I think, you know, there are many of the most
popular foods we have and they usually have a lot
of refiner process flowers in them and some sugar, and
you find them in you know, what you would consider
the healthy section of the grocery store. You got baby foods,
you've got children's cereals, You've got all kinds of these things,
(31:22):
and many of them have huge amounts of added sugar
and refined carbohydrates, and so you know, you want to
really think about, you know, what's the combination of food
that you're eating, and is this food nutrient dense where
it's going to like support your health or is it
going to take away from it. So with carbohydrates, you know,
(31:46):
this can be a real interesting journey there because the
more refined they are, I feel, the less healthy they
are for you. So for me, if I'm getting bread,
I like to get organic whole grain, sprouted whole grain,
so that means that the grains have been sprouted, meaning
(32:08):
they've been activated, they've had the inenzimee inhibitors removed from them,
and then they've been ground up and added to the
to the cracker or the bread or the dough. And
then as this food comes together, it has that quality
to it of a whole sprouted grain, which is I believe,
(32:31):
more digestible and easier in your stomach than the refined
ones that I have no fiber. And if it has
no fiber and you're eating carbohydrates, then you know, especially
if they've got gluten in them. So the root of
the word gluten, it goes back to the word glue.
(32:52):
And back in the nineteen sixties, Archie Daniels decided they
were going to take a bunch of these grains and
they were going to increase the gluten and they did
by like eighty percent. And then they they also made
it more addictive. They wanted to make it more addictive
than cocaine, and they did that, and they it has
(33:13):
equality to it that also shuts down your thyroid. So,
you know, one of the reasons in the United States
where we have such a problem with with weight and
obesity and things like that, is because our fid's been
tampered with in such a way that it doesn't benefit
(33:33):
people's health, it actually makes it more challenging. So you know,
were they working in cahoots with the pharmaceutical companies that
you know, want to sell people drugs for being sick.
You know, I tend to think a lot of these
corporations probably have you know, little little you know, connections
between them where they support each other and a lot
(33:56):
of their different different things. But you know, when you're
eating white refined like crackers or bread or flour or
something like that, it doesn't have the fiber in it,
and if its high amounts of gluten in it, that
can get down into your gut and not be digested.
Be like having a big kind of lump of glue
(34:18):
sitting in your intestinal track. Well, that can get hutred
and then can because of it, you know, just disintegrating
in your gut and not being able to be expelled
from your body. Then that can attract parasites and it
can attract all kinds of health problems. So you know,
(34:38):
try to eat whole grain, sprouted grain foods if you're
going to eat those types of thing, and try to
get the organic one. And you know, I don't know
if you've ever seen the Ezekiel bread and the frozen
food section at the grocery store, but that is an
organic sprouted bread that you can get in the United States.
(35:00):
That is, you know, basically what I'm talking about. And
then if you get one that is sour dough, then
you get one that has more like probiotics in it
and it's been broken down even more so it's you know,
just a little bit healthier for you than what you
might have been having. Also believe it's also back in
(35:24):
the nineteen sixties when they used to put iodine in
all our bread, which supported your thyroid and really helped
your overall health, but they switched it out for potassium bromate,
which shuts down your thyroid. And potassium bromate is really
(35:45):
outlawed in food in most parts of the world but
not in the United States. So you know, we basically
have to maneuver our food food jungle. You know, like
you're like seriously looking for quality. You really you just
want to look at it and go, okay. Let's say
(36:07):
you have choices of foods and you think, okay, which
one is the in its most god given form? Which
one has been tampered with less by man, and that's
the food you want to get. And you know, you
may have different choices in different parts of your life,
in different times of your day, but if you can
(36:29):
kind of go by that standard of you know, I
have these choices available to me, I have to pick
one of them, which one is the best choice, and
just look at it that way. And I think that works,
you know, pretty well, And so that that would be
what but I would recommend for that. And then also
(36:52):
I cannot stress it enough to get hydrated. I mean,
people drink these carbonated dreams or they drink these sodas
or different things. Those are not hydrating. When you drink
anything carbonated carbonation, it's like your waste. So whenever you're
(37:14):
drinking that, it's actually dehydrating, but you're also just drinking
in waste. So it's not really a positive thing in
my opinion. And so I would you recommend you if
you have to drink anything out and you're looking for
like a clean water or something, I would get one
(37:36):
hundred percent organic coconut water. And because coconut water is
like a real food, right, So and if you never
really liked coconut water, if you try it and try
it a few times, your taste beds will adjust and
you may start liking it more. But it is such
(37:58):
a wonderful fluid because it's extremely hydrating at kinkura heat stroke.
And I think, you know, it's way better than gator
aid or pediolite or anything like this because it doesn't
have chemicals in it that would shut down your thyroid
or anything like that. So you know, I really encourage
(38:19):
everyone to drink some coconut water. And it's also good
for animals. Animals need the real food, they also need
the hydration as well. And you know, I read a
book once by doctor Botemanji, and I'm not even sure
I'm pronouncing his name properly, but he was in prison
(38:44):
for being a medical doctor, I don't know, in the
Middle East somewhere. He'd probably been put in there for
whatever reason. And he found that most people there were
sick from chronic intercellular dehydration, and he started literally just
giving people water with some mineral rich salt, and white
(39:06):
refined salt is not the same thing as mineral rich salt,
and mineral rich salt is necessary for life. You can't
live without it. You can't hydrate without it, and so
he would put salt under someone's tongue and have him
drink water. And he just cured people, like thousands of
people in prison, and he called it his water cure.
(39:31):
And so you know, don't underestimate the value of water.
And sometimes when we're hungry, we're actually dehydrated. And you
want your water to have electrolytes in them, which is
a fancy medical term for the word salt. So if
anybody's using a reverse osmosis water purifier or any kind
(39:52):
of a filtering system to clean your water from all
the toxic chemicals and pharmaceutical drugs and various things that
are in the munisc water in the United States, then
you know you can add this salt back into the water.
Because when you're filtering something, it's non selective, so it's
(40:12):
going to take out all the bad things in the water,
but it's also going to remove all the good things.
So you need to add the good back in. And
you really need to have these minerals with your water
or you cannot absorb them. And if you're drinking empty water,
water that has no minerals in it, then your body's
going to deplete your own body more of those minerals
(40:35):
to try to process that, and that can be really
dangerous and that's what ends people up in the emergency room,
has staut from dehydration because you have to have these
salts in order to live. Your enzymes, like we were
just talking about, your enzymes cannot even function unless you
(40:56):
have these salts in your body. So if you want
to look this doctor David Brownstein, who is just amazing
medical doctor, thyroid expert. He wrote the book on the Thyroid.
He wrote a book on iodine you cannot live without it,
and he also wrote a book on Salt Your Way
(41:17):
to Health. And he believes that if you are low
in these salts, then your body actually becomes toxic. And
you know, people say to me, but Nancy, you know
I had high blood pressure, not supposed to eat salt. Well,
they did a very comprehensive study in the Netherlands where
they took a big group of people who had high
(41:40):
blood pressure and they took half of those people and
changed this one ingredient in their diet and they had
them start eating mineral rich salt with their food, and
the other group they just left on their own doing
their high blood pressure medication and eating their normal way.
(42:01):
And at the end of this study, they found that
the people who had literally just added this one healthy
ingredient to their diet, which is the mineral red salt,
that these people had as good a blood pressure as
the people on the medication, and they weren't taking any
drugs that had those side effects to them that all
(42:22):
the pharmaceutical drugs have. So, you know, you might consider
the fact that, you know, a lot of doctors are
not taught nutrition in medical school, and they haven't understood
the difference between white refined salt that's had the minerals
removed and high fre corn syrup added to it and
(42:44):
preservatives added to it. And I believe the body reads
that like a poison, whereas if it's a mind mineral
red salt rich with these minerals which have color in them,
So your salt should have some color in it. It's white,
it's most likely been bleached and had the minerals removed.
(43:05):
But when you add that ingredient to your diet, it's
amazing how it makes the flavor of your food better,
but it also helps you actually absorb more of the
nutrition from your food. So let's say you put salt
on your watermelon. Now my grandmother did this, and you
(43:27):
will actually absorb more of the nutrition from that watermelon
with a little bit of that salt on there than
if you don't add it. So it's really an interesting
kind of viewpoint. But so many of these foods work
in symphony together, and when you're missing one, sometimes they
get isolated and they can't be utilized. So like if
(43:51):
you're lacking in magnesium, which is a natural mineral. If
you're lacking in that mineral, you cannot utilize your vitamin
D in your body, even if you have a plentiful
amount of vitamin D. Vitamin D needs magnesium in order
to work, and also sulfur and those three combinations go together.
(44:15):
And doctor Stephanie Senneff has shared this with us on
one of the shows she was on, but she studied
how vitamin D, sulfur, magnesium, and cholesterol all work together
to heal the body. But you need that combination. So,
you know, doctor Thomas Levy, the cardiologist who I love
(44:39):
to have on the show, I need to ask him
to come back on. You know, he says you really
need magnesium every single day and he wrote that book,
Reversing Disease with Magnesium. I think there's like twenty eight
health challenges you can cure by just taking magnesium every day.
And it's in leafy greens, it's in magnesium chloride flakes
(45:01):
that you can buy for putting in your bath water.
I have a magnesium chloride spray that I spray on
the bottom of my feet when I get out of the shower,
and you know, and it helps you helps your muscles
function better, your heart will function better, You'll feel calmer,
you'll you'll sleep better, and so you know, just you know,
(45:25):
adding a few of these things into our daily regiment,
it's you know, it can get easier if it's outside
of something that you've ever done before. If you just
start implementing it somewhere and start you know, putting it
into practice, then every day is going to get easier
and easier, and before you know it, you don't even
(45:46):
think about it anymore. It's just it's just part of
who you are. You're the person that eats real food
and feels great and is thriving on you know, being hydrated,
and so you know, I really do wish this for
all of y'all, and you know, I just love talking
(46:09):
to y'all each week and sharing information with you. Next week,
I've got Kathy O'Brien coming back on. She's really quite
a remarkable woman and such an incredible story that she
tells of her life, and so that should be really exciting.
And this week it's the end of July. I think
(46:30):
we've had a really interesting summer, and I'm really hoping
that all of you have safe and loving families and
the ability to get good food in your in your
family's stomachs and on the table. And I just want
to tell you how much I appreciate all the emails
(46:52):
and letters I get, and I really greatly appreciate you
sharing your valuable time with me on this show. And
I do love your suggestion, so you know, keep keep
those coming in. And you can always sign up for
my free newsletter on my website, organ A healthylife dot com,
(47:12):
and I would love to have you join me and
you can keep up with the events I'm doing and
what's going on with different food aspects. I always do
recipes and different help update information for nutrition or lifestyle
or anything like that. And so you know, let's think
(47:32):
about this week, let's focus our mind on things that
are positive and really, you know, create the life we
want to live. Is we are magnificent beings and we
really are connected with God and I truly believe this.
And what you put in your body is what is
what your temple is made out of. So honor that
(47:54):
temple and you know, give it the quality it deserves.
And and tell yourself those thoughts as well, the thoughts
that you know make your mind feel good and expand
on the parts of your life that you want to
expand on. Right, So what we focus on expand so
(48:16):
you know, don't be you know, I would say avoid
focusing on problems and focus on solutions. And you know,
if that is with your health and things, then focus
on you know, eating real whole quality food and loving
yourself well. So until next week, everyone, I just want
(48:38):
to tell you how much I love you, how much
I want you to stay strong and have just amazing
perfect health. And as we go through our lives and
you connect with those around you, just remember to add
that main ingredient, and that main ingredient is always love.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
Welcome beautiful people to organic healthy Lifestyle and I'm Nanciatis
and your host, and I love to start off my
show with prayer, so if you're joined me in whichever
way you would like, today, I'm going to read the
Lord's Prayer translated straight from Aromatic into English, which is
a very different version than what year from Aramaic to
(00:57):
Greek to Latin to English. Hold on to your hats,
a cosmic birther of all radiance and vibration. Soften the
ground of our being, and carve out a space within
us where your presence can abide. Fill us with your
creativity so that we may be empowered to bear the
fruit of your mission. And let each of our actions
(01:20):
bear fruit in accordance with our desire, and doow us
with the wisdom to produce and share what each being
needs to grow and flourish. Untie the tangled threads of
destiny that bind us as we release others from the
entanglement of past mistakes. Do not let us be seduced
by that which would divert us from our true purpose,
(01:43):
but illuminate the opportunities of the present moment. For you
are the ground and the fruitful vision, the birth, the power,
and the fulfillment as all is gathered and made whole
once again. And I ask this in the highest good
of all concerned, for everyone listening now and for everyone
listening in the future, and thank you. And so it is.
(02:06):
So today, I've been having people ask me about nutrition things.
So today I thought, I would, you know, talk about
various things that help us be healthier. But I did
just get noticed from a group called the Million Podcasts Group,
and they said that I've been recognized as a top
(02:28):
one hundred healthy eating podcast and also as a top
one hundred nutrition podcast, So you know, that was very
nice to get that recognition. And they also upload my
shows to the public library and the Philippines, which is
just really fascinating and lovely. And I've worked with various
(02:52):
people from the Philippines in my life and they're delightful people.
So it's so nice that because of the technology today
were able to connect with people around the world, and
I'm thrilled that they love my shows. So I'm going
to answer some questions today from listeners and then also
(03:14):
if any of y'all are listening now and you have
a question, you can you can ask them here as well,
and my sound engineer, Rebel, will let me know what
they are. So one of my first questions, and I
thought this was really interesting, but I've had people ask me,
you know, why would you not want to drink out
(03:36):
of like the carton and your refrigerator, you know, especially
if you're like live by yourself, then you don't have
to share that carton of you know, whatever it is
for juice with anybody else. Well, the thing is about
drinking out of a container is in our mouth. We
have lots of enzymes and it's probably the most absorbing
(04:00):
part of our body. But it's also where we start
digesting our food, and so in our mouth we have
very powerful digestive enzymes that are always working. And when
you take a sip of something like you know, say
there's a cart and of orange juice in the refrigerator,
and you know, somebody comes in and takes a big
(04:22):
swig of it and puts it back in. Some of
his digestive enzymes from his mouth have gotten into that
particular fluid or whatever's in that container, and it will
start to break it down, so it will it will
start oxidizing it and breaking it down so that it's
(04:45):
not as healthy and it's not as full bodied or
full of nutrition as you would have, you know, thought
it would be. And you know, it's kind of the
same thing with mauthwash. I think a lot of people
just you know, take us out of their mouth wash bottle,
but really the ideal way to do it would be
to pour it in a glass and drink it from there,
(05:07):
because whenever you're putting your life enzymes into that container,
whatever it may be, it's going to start disintegrating in
its quality. And really our food is challenged enough today,
so we don't need to like disintegrate it anymore. And
then they've probably already done that, So you know, it's
(05:31):
just always good to be aware of little things like
this and just you know, have a little cup there
that you pour, you know, you pour your your drink
into or something. And I have to admit, I look
at doing dishes these days as like meditation, and I
think so much of what we do with our lives
(05:54):
it's it's that story in our brain, what's going around
in our brain while we're doing it it and does
that make us feel good or does it not make
us feel good? Well, I esppecially, you could make any
situation you have to do positive or negative, depending on
how you want to look at it. And so I'm
(06:15):
going to just challenge all of everybody out here that
that's listening. I just want to challenge you to, you know,
really start and you can even keep a journal on this.
I and I've done this before and it was it
was actually very surprising to me some of the things
that I've found out. But if you keep a journal
(06:37):
of your thoughts, you know, like what's popping into your
head at what time and catch yourself, you know, coming
from victim mode or coming from lack or you know,
being too hard on yourself for you know, not being
perfect or or something like that, and you know, give
(06:59):
yourself a pat on the back for just being present
and being conscious. And really what's interesting is you can
start to curb that around, Like now, when I have
thoughts pop in my head that may not be you know,
the best positive thought. I say, thank you for showing up.
(07:20):
You know, I don't need this thought anymore. I have.
I have decided to go in a new direction with
that or something of that sort, and I just literally
change my thoughts and so you can do that. Let's see,
I'm getting a question here from Harriet. How quickly do
(07:41):
things from our mouth state in the cartains that we
drink from? Harriet, I really have to admit I have
no idea, because I suppose that would depend on the
size of the carton, how big is sip you took
from it, how much of your you know, body mouth
fluid got into it, what that particular thing is, and
(08:04):
you know, is it a big, huge bull carton or
is a little bitty one which is a tiny bit left.
I would think the one with the tiny bit left
would disintegrate faster because your enzymes would get to more
of it quicker. So I'm not sure about that one,
hear it. I think it would vary from container to
container and from whatever's in that container. And also kind
(08:28):
of maybe how how healthy you are, I mean, how
how active are the enzymes in your mouth? Because you know,
frequently as people age or or get sick, or if
they're chewing gum or something that uses up your enzymes
a whole lot, then you're going to age quicker and
(08:49):
you're not going to have the enzymes in them that
you might. So we're born with a certain amount of
enzymes in our body, and as we age, we use
those up and they and they disintegrate, and so as
we age, we need to, you know, not do things
(09:10):
like okay, So when you start chewing, you're telling your
body you're going to digest food. So every time you're chewing,
your body's going to make digestive enzymes and and you're
going to be using the precious limited supply of your
digestive inzymes. So people who like chew gum are the
(09:32):
people at chew gum are using up they're a very
precious limited store of digestive enzymes quicker than someone who's
not chewing gum. So they're, you know, the person chewing
gum is telling their brain they're going to eat something,
but they're not eating anything, they're not swallowing anything, they
don't need to digest anything, so they're really kind of
(09:52):
wasting their enzymes. And when our enzymes are gone we die,
we depend on those enzymes, so it's very important. Let's see,
I have a message here from Lance. It would take
a lot of time to write dots down, wouldn't you think? No,
not necessarily Lance. So let's just say you're keeping a
(10:14):
journal and you're going through your day and this thought
pops in your head and you and you're becoming aware
of your conscious thoughts and you you see that, Oh
my goodness, that thought was, you know, not an encouraging thought.
Let's say you know you were going to do something
(10:36):
and you kept telling yourself you were going to be late. Well,
are you actually creating that system of being late by
focusing on that and enlarging that particular energy or you know,
pinon you and I've done this before, focus on where
I'm supposed to be, and I imagine myself walking in
(10:57):
in perfect time and more time said, not that will
actually happen, But you know, it doesn't mean you have
to write a whole novel about everything. But you could
catch yourself having like a negative thought or you know,
oh I had a negative thought about this, or you know,
I haven't really healed over that trauma because you know
(11:20):
that thought came popping in, you know, and I think
many times we beat ourselves up over things we've done
in our life where we really believe that we could
have done a better job doing it, whatever that was,
but we did the best at the time that we could.
And I think, you know, we try to, you know,
(11:42):
look back on things and think that we're superhuman or something,
or you know, everybody should be perfect and nobody's perfect,
and we just try our best. So, you know, a
lot of it is just kind of seeing where your
thoughts go. And I have to admit I found out
my thoughts were more negative than I wish they were,
(12:05):
and I've really worked on changing that around. So so
deb is asking, how do we replenish enzimes. It's such
a great question. So we do that by eating a whole, raw,
organic living food. So what does that mean living food?
You know, when I grew up, we ate fresh food,
(12:26):
fruit off the tree or fresh fruit out of the garden,
right off the vine. That is raw and living food.
That is food that has not been cooked over one
hundred and eight to one hundred and ten degrees. It
hasn't been processed, it hasn't been radiated, it hasn't been
microwaved foods that are raw in their most natural form
(12:50):
is what provides enzymes, and so you know, this is
food that really nourishes the body. And so my in
my book Diabetes in Your Diet, one of the things
people have found over the years is that eating a
more or mostly raw food diet, and many people eat
(13:11):
one hundred percent raw all the time, that is the
best form for your health, and it replenishes your own
enzymes because you know, let's just take in for an example,
let's say you eat an apple. Well, that apple is
going to bring with it forty to fifty to sixty
percent of the live enzymes with it that you need
(13:35):
in order to process that apple in your digestive system.
And so it's supplementing your enzymes. But when you eat
cooked food or cooked you know, foods that have been baked, boiled, microwave, radiated,
any of that that's dead food has no live enzymes.
(13:56):
It can't replenish your body. It literally is like they
call it dead food. So if you want to have
you know, really vibrant health, it's really important to eat whole,
real food and its real form. And I've had clients
come to me and I health counsel people every day,
(14:19):
and if you would like to have me health counseling,
you please contact me at my website or getting healthylife
dot com, or you can email me at Nancy at
Nancyadison dot com and set up an appointment. But one
of the things that I have found is that so
(14:41):
many people grew up on fast food or microwave food
or process food, and they literally don't know how to
eat real food. And as I transition people from eating
orange juice to actually eating a whole orange that has
the fiber and all the nutrition in it, then you know,
(15:03):
just a orange juice that's got fourtified chemicals in it
and a lot of sugar. And of course, whenever you
do a pure fruit juice, you're just basically injecting pure
sugar into your bloodstream and causing your body to get diabetes.
So you know, I always say avoid raw fruit juices.
(15:24):
You've always got to have the fiber with it in
order to slow it down so it doesn't you know,
put pressure on your organs and make it tough for
your body. But you know, I'm going to challenge all
of you, see how many pieces of actual real food
can you eat in a day like I start off
(15:46):
my morning quite literally every morning, I peel an orange
or grapefruit or you know, some beautiful piece of fruit
to have. I had pineapple last week, organic pineapple. I
was able to find lush last week in a in
a grocery store. And you know, this week, I have
(16:08):
been having lots of oranges lately, which are super high
vitamin C. But now I'm doing grape fruit because our
bodies crave variety, and they crave seasonal So in North
America here, if you're listening and you're here and you're
you know, have this availability of all this fresh food,
(16:28):
I challenge you to, you know, see how many you
could eat in one day. You know, I like to
eat as much whole raw food in it's in its
real form, every day and as a little process cooked
food as possible. And that's really my ideal diet, And
(16:50):
especially in the summer when there's so much fresh food
available to us. In the winter, your body's meant to
handle a little bit of a more cooked food, Like
I may do some warm soups things like that in
the winter because those help your body handle different seasonal changes.
And so you know, it's just something that that I
(17:14):
think is so important, and so you know, instead of
instead of always reaching for something to cook. And I think,
you know, carbohydrates can be very, very appealing, but I
think there's also some some drawbacks to that. So anyway,
I would like to encourage everyone to eat some whole
(17:36):
real food and get those live enzymes in your body,
replenish those enzymes. What I found is when I start
working with someone with diabetes or cancer or you know,
some you know, really heavy duty health challenge that they
might might be having, if I get them started on
a whole, real organic food based up, they always, they
(18:03):
always start flourishing and their health starts turning around. And
it's amazing how just doing something as what seems as
simple as that has such a huge impact on your health.
And when I grew up, there was a saying called
an apple a day keeps the doctor away. And I
(18:25):
have no idea why you don't hear that anymore. But
the apples have so much nutrition in them. They've got fiber,
they've got vitamin C, they've got apple pectin, which you know,
doctor Brian Artist just loves apple pectin. He thinks the
fiber and apples is, you know, binds with such terrible
(18:48):
toxins and can really help heel the body in many ways.
And it can it can bind also with the really
toxic things. And you know, he talked about this when
he was talking about various toxins that they've been putting
in our water supply, in our air and things, and
(19:09):
so you know, it's always important to you know, really
just embrace eating, you know, real food and try to
avoid all the processed foods because I mean, these days
it's hard to even know what's in it anymore, and
the labeling is so misleading, and they've changed, they keep
(19:29):
changing the GMO terminology forum and now it says, you
know that they have a biological something in them. And
you know, you just have to do your best in
maneuvering the grocery store. But I highly encourage you to,
you know, find the outskirts where there's the fresh food.
(19:50):
Look for the organic, really by organic if you possibly can,
if you have access to that, because it's it's set
at least being looked at and tried to be grown
with a subtle chemicals as possible, whereas the alternative is
just the opposite. I mean, it's just so full of
(20:11):
chemicals in toxic herbicides grown with them and possibly genetically
modified seeds that you know, it's hard to even know
what what you're eating. So is particularly important for children
because their bodies are still growing and their organs are
(20:32):
still forming, so whatever they're ingesting is going to be
really important to you know how healthy they are. And
then recently I've had some people asking me are telling
me they were eating hydrolized protein, and some people were
saying that they're even giving their animals like foods with
(20:56):
hydrolyzed protein in it, and they didn't know what that was.
So tell you what hydrolyzed protein is. Hydrolyzed proteins are
actually flavor enhancers that have been chemically broken down into
amino acids, and as they're broken down during digestin digestion,
(21:20):
the result free glutamate joins with the body's free sodium
and it forms MSG, and free glutamate can cause the
body to react as if you're got a stimulating drug,
like it's introduced into your nervous system and it can
affect your insulin metabolism and create excessive insulin secretion by
(21:43):
the pancreas, and it can cause. It can cause symptoms
like anxiety attacks or asthma like symptoms, or attention deficit
disorder or burning sensation, or even a carpal tunnel syndrome.
You can also get chest pains and depression and diarrhea
(22:04):
and disorientation and dizziness and fatigue with this. So if
you're experiencing any of these things, then you want to
make sure you're avoiding anything that has monosodium glutinate in
it or MSG or hydrolyzed proteins. And in fact, it's
(22:25):
not just hydrolyzed proteins that is this MSG, that monsodium
glutinate that is just so addictive and incredibly bad for you.
Doctor Russell Blaylock wrote a book on this called The
Taste that Kills, and he says that you know, when
(22:47):
this is created in your mouth, it actually sends these
signals to your brain and it makes the pleasure part
of your brain think that it's eating something delicious, but
it's actually electrocuting that part of your brain and destroying
like the pleasure centers in your brain. And he is
(23:09):
a brain surgeon, and he discovered this when he was
working at you know, surgery on people's brains, and he
was like noticing these horribly unusual looking brains things in
the brains, and he started researching it and he found
out it's this MSG monaesodium glutenate. They still actually write
(23:33):
it out on some products, like I think it's the
Lay's potato chips, in the Doritos things like that Cheetos,
it's actually written out as like the third or fourth ingredient.
So it's got a lot of that in there. And
he said that it will actually cause brain damage. So
(23:54):
there's a lot of reasons to avoid this, and so
we want to, you know, be very thoughtful of it.
He says that there's a lot of additives in your
food that can contain this MSG. So hydrolyzed oat flour,
textured protein, yeast extract, plant protein extract, hydrolyzed plant protein,
(24:19):
hydrolyzed proteins, in hydrolyzed vegetable proteins. And I think they
put a lot of these in like fake meat products,
I know, and some people try to give up eating
meat and they go vegetarian, they have trouble, you know,
missing the meats that they ate, so they may eat
(24:40):
these fake meats that are made of soy and have
this MSG and type stuff in it. And personally, I
think you're better off eating the meat than the fake
meat or the soy or the MSG. And note I
just got another quite it says does the MSG have
(25:02):
to be on the label? No, it actually does not,
And in fact, it's very tricky. I mean it could
actually in the ingredient list, say it's something like flavoring
or natural flavoring, or seasons or spices or stuck or
broth or multi flavoring. I mean it can be in
(25:24):
any of those in the food and you would never
know it's the MSG. And so you know, the FDA
doesn't want us to know what's in our food, and
they make it so hard for us to be able
to tell. But you know, some of these MSG's are
in certain things in the food, and it's when it
(25:46):
touches your saliva that it gets turned into MSG. So
they can actually say it doesn't contain MSG, but then
when you put it in your mouth, then it's MSG.
So it's very very tricky. So I just you know,
the things they do to our food, it's really quite remarkable.
(26:09):
So we have another question here, what type of things
can they put into our food? Supply without putting it
on the label. Well, it sends to me just by
reading what I read, they can pretty much put an
unbelievable amount of not even food items in your food,
(26:30):
but chemicals and everything else. And if it ever has
the word natural on it, the word natural means absolutely
nothing as far as food labeling goes. It can be
one hundred percent chemical and be labeled natural. So you
really have to put on your Sherlock homes hap whenever
you go to the grocery store and read those ingredients,
(26:54):
because they're putting the ones on there they're forced to
put on there. But certain ingredients that they put under
a certain amount, they can put it in there without
even listing it on the package. So this is just
another reason why you would want to eat real food
in its whole, real form, like a real apple or
(27:15):
eat a real orange. And when you're doing that and
you know it's been grown with a certified organic seed
or you know hopefully they have grown it that way,
then you can be a little more assured that you're
eating real food. And so I have another question on
(27:38):
bioengineered food. So bioengineered food is food that where they've
basically taken the seeds and they've spliced certain things into them,
and usually that's a toxic poison because many of the
times when they're doing this type of thing, they're thinking
(28:01):
weed prevention, pest prevention, that kind of thing, and so
they build the poison right into the food. Like let's
take for instance, corn. So corn in the United States
has been genetically modified to have a bt toxin in it,
which actually makes a pesticide in your gut after you've
(28:25):
eaten this. And what this is supposed to do when
like insects are on the crops when they're growing, it's
supposed to eat holes in the insects stomach and then
they die. But what the studies found in Canada was
that let's say they're growing this bet tox and corn,
(28:48):
which actually if you eat it, it makes holes in
your own stomach and it also can get into your
gut and make your gut make its own pesticide, which
is quite shocking and alarming in itself. But they found
out that if they were feeding that to like animals,
like to cattle, and then you ate the meat from
(29:12):
that particular cattle that ate that food, then it's going
to eat holes in your stomach too, because it hasn't
been destroyed in any of the digestive processes. In these
these poisons that they build into the seeds, you know,
you can't just make them go away at the blink
(29:34):
of an eye. They are there. And it's like doctor
Artist was sharing on one of my shows recently that
there have been well over a thousand patents to put
poison and snake venom into our fruits and vegetable seeds
in the last year and a half two years. And
(29:55):
you know, like lsu is splicing toxic snake venom into rice,
and being a vegetarian that eats things like rice and quemua,
I find this quite alarming, and so I always really
encourage everybody, you know, join the Organic Association. Let your
(30:18):
voice be heard, speak up and really vote with your dollars.
If you are buying organic every time, and you're supporting
the farmers that are doing the right thing and not
destroying the world or the earth, then you know, that's
a really good thing. So think about how you're spending
(30:39):
your money. Your money is like your vote, and so
you know, if you care about something, then that's where
you should probably be directing your money. But so anyway,
I hope that answers some of those questions about the enzymes,
and I think it's just really important. But I think,
you know, let's just talk a man about carbohydrates because
(31:01):
I think, you know, there are many of the most
popular foods we have and they usually have a lot
of refiner process flowers in them and some sugar, and
you find them in you know, what you would consider
the healthy section of the grocery store. You got baby foods,
you've got children's cereals, You've got all kinds of these things,
(31:22):
and many of them have huge amounts of added sugar
and refined carbohydrates, and so you know, you want to
really think about, you know, what's the combination of food
that you're eating, and is this food nutrient dense where
it's going to like support your health or is it
going to take away from it. So with carbohydrates, you know,
(31:46):
this can be a real interesting journey there because the
more refined they are, I feel, the less healthy they
are for you. So for me, if I'm getting bread,
I like to get organic whole grain, sprouted whole grain,
so that means that the grains have been sprouted, meaning
(32:08):
they've been activated, they've had the inenzimee inhibitors removed from them,
and then they've been ground up and added to the
to the cracker or the bread or the dough. And
then as this food comes together, it has that quality
to it of a whole sprouted grain, which is I believe,
(32:31):
more digestible and easier in your stomach than the refined
ones that I have no fiber. And if it has
no fiber and you're eating carbohydrates, then you know, especially
if they've got gluten in them. So the root of
the word gluten, it goes back to the word glue.
(32:52):
And back in the nineteen sixties, Archie Daniels decided they
were going to take a bunch of these grains and
they were going to increase the gluten and they did
by like eighty percent. And then they they also made
it more addictive. They wanted to make it more addictive
than cocaine, and they did that, and they it has
(33:13):
equality to it that also shuts down your thyroid. So,
you know, one of the reasons in the United States
where we have such a problem with with weight and
obesity and things like that, is because our fid's been
tampered with in such a way that it doesn't benefit
(33:33):
people's health, it actually makes it more challenging. So you know,
were they working in cahoots with the pharmaceutical companies that
you know, want to sell people drugs for being sick.
You know, I tend to think a lot of these
corporations probably have you know, little little you know, connections
between them where they support each other and a lot
(33:56):
of their different different things. But you know, when you're
eating white refined like crackers or bread or flour or
something like that, it doesn't have the fiber in it,
and if its high amounts of gluten in it, that
can get down into your gut and not be digested.
Be like having a big kind of lump of glue
(34:18):
sitting in your intestinal track. Well, that can get hutred
and then can because of it, you know, just disintegrating
in your gut and not being able to be expelled
from your body. Then that can attract parasites and it
can attract all kinds of health problems. So you know,
(34:38):
try to eat whole grain, sprouted grain foods if you're
going to eat those types of thing, and try to
get the organic one. And you know, I don't know
if you've ever seen the Ezekiel bread and the frozen
food section at the grocery store, but that is an
organic sprouted bread that you can get in the United States.
(35:00):
That is, you know, basically what I'm talking about. And
then if you get one that is sour dough, then
you get one that has more like probiotics in it
and it's been broken down even more so it's you know,
just a little bit healthier for you than what you
might have been having. Also believe it's also back in
(35:24):
the nineteen sixties when they used to put iodine in
all our bread, which supported your thyroid and really helped
your overall health, but they switched it out for potassium bromate,
which shuts down your thyroid. And potassium bromate is really
(35:45):
outlawed in food in most parts of the world but
not in the United States. So you know, we basically
have to maneuver our food food jungle. You know, like
you're like seriously looking for quality. You really you just
want to look at it and go, okay. Let's say
(36:07):
you have choices of foods and you think, okay, which
one is the in its most god given form? Which
one has been tampered with less by man, and that's
the food you want to get. And you know, you
may have different choices in different parts of your life,
in different times of your day, but if you can
(36:29):
kind of go by that standard of you know, I
have these choices available to me, I have to pick
one of them, which one is the best choice, and
just look at it that way. And I think that works,
you know, pretty well, And so that that would be
what but I would recommend for that. And then also
(36:52):
I cannot stress it enough to get hydrated. I mean,
people drink these carbonated dreams or they drink these sodas
or different things. Those are not hydrating. When you drink
anything carbonated carbonation, it's like your waste. So whenever you're
(37:14):
drinking that, it's actually dehydrating, but you're also just drinking
in waste. So it's not really a positive thing in
my opinion. And so I would you recommend you if
you have to drink anything out and you're looking for
like a clean water or something, I would get one
(37:36):
hundred percent organic coconut water. And because coconut water is
like a real food, right, So and if you never
really liked coconut water, if you try it and try
it a few times, your taste beds will adjust and
you may start liking it more. But it is such
(37:58):
a wonderful fluid because it's extremely hydrating at kinkura heat stroke.
And I think, you know, it's way better than gator
aid or pediolite or anything like this because it doesn't
have chemicals in it that would shut down your thyroid
or anything like that. So you know, I really encourage
(38:19):
everyone to drink some coconut water. And it's also good
for animals. Animals need the real food, they also need
the hydration as well. And you know, I read a
book once by doctor Botemanji, and I'm not even sure
I'm pronouncing his name properly, but he was in prison
(38:44):
for being a medical doctor, I don't know, in the
Middle East somewhere. He'd probably been put in there for
whatever reason. And he found that most people there were
sick from chronic intercellular dehydration, and he started literally just
giving people water with some mineral rich salt, and white
(39:06):
refined salt is not the same thing as mineral rich salt,
and mineral rich salt is necessary for life. You can't
live without it. You can't hydrate without it, and so
he would put salt under someone's tongue and have him
drink water. And he just cured people, like thousands of
people in prison, and he called it his water cure.
(39:31):
And so you know, don't underestimate the value of water.
And sometimes when we're hungry, we're actually dehydrated. And you
want your water to have electrolytes in them, which is
a fancy medical term for the word salt. So if
anybody's using a reverse osmosis water purifier or any kind
(39:52):
of a filtering system to clean your water from all
the toxic chemicals and pharmaceutical drugs and various things that
are in the munisc water in the United States, then
you know you can add this salt back into the water.
Because when you're filtering something, it's non selective, so it's
(40:12):
going to take out all the bad things in the water,
but it's also going to remove all the good things.
So you need to add the good back in. And
you really need to have these minerals with your water
or you cannot absorb them. And if you're drinking empty water,
water that has no minerals in it, then your body's
going to deplete your own body more of those minerals
(40:35):
to try to process that, and that can be really
dangerous and that's what ends people up in the emergency room,
has staut from dehydration because you have to have these
salts in order to live. Your enzymes, like we were
just talking about, your enzymes cannot even function unless you
(40:56):
have these salts in your body. So if you want
to look this doctor David Brownstein, who is just amazing
medical doctor, thyroid expert. He wrote the book on the Thyroid.
He wrote a book on iodine you cannot live without it,
and he also wrote a book on Salt Your Way
(41:17):
to Health. And he believes that if you are low
in these salts, then your body actually becomes toxic. And
you know, people say to me, but Nancy, you know
I had high blood pressure, not supposed to eat salt. Well,
they did a very comprehensive study in the Netherlands where
they took a big group of people who had high
(41:40):
blood pressure and they took half of those people and
changed this one ingredient in their diet and they had
them start eating mineral rich salt with their food, and
the other group they just left on their own doing
their high blood pressure medication and eating their normal way.
(42:01):
And at the end of this study, they found that
the people who had literally just added this one healthy
ingredient to their diet, which is the mineral red salt,
that these people had as good a blood pressure as
the people on the medication, and they weren't taking any
drugs that had those side effects to them that all
(42:22):
the pharmaceutical drugs have. So, you know, you might consider
the fact that, you know, a lot of doctors are
not taught nutrition in medical school, and they haven't understood
the difference between white refined salt that's had the minerals
removed and high fre corn syrup added to it and
(42:44):
preservatives added to it. And I believe the body reads
that like a poison, whereas if it's a mind mineral
red salt rich with these minerals which have color in them,
So your salt should have some color in it. It's white,
it's most likely been bleached and had the minerals removed.
(43:05):
But when you add that ingredient to your diet, it's
amazing how it makes the flavor of your food better,
but it also helps you actually absorb more of the
nutrition from your food. So let's say you put salt
on your watermelon. Now my grandmother did this, and you
(43:27):
will actually absorb more of the nutrition from that watermelon
with a little bit of that salt on there than
if you don't add it. So it's really an interesting
kind of viewpoint. But so many of these foods work
in symphony together, and when you're missing one, sometimes they
get isolated and they can't be utilized. So like if
(43:51):
you're lacking in magnesium, which is a natural mineral. If
you're lacking in that mineral, you cannot utilize your vitamin
D in your body, even if you have a plentiful
amount of vitamin D. Vitamin D needs magnesium in order
to work, and also sulfur and those three combinations go together.
(44:15):
And doctor Stephanie Senneff has shared this with us on
one of the shows she was on, but she studied
how vitamin D, sulfur, magnesium, and cholesterol all work together
to heal the body. But you need that combination. So,
you know, doctor Thomas Levy, the cardiologist who I love
(44:39):
to have on the show, I need to ask him
to come back on. You know, he says you really
need magnesium every single day and he wrote that book,
Reversing Disease with Magnesium. I think there's like twenty eight
health challenges you can cure by just taking magnesium every day.
And it's in leafy greens, it's in magnesium chloride flakes
(45:01):
that you can buy for putting in your bath water.
I have a magnesium chloride spray that I spray on
the bottom of my feet when I get out of the shower,
and you know, and it helps you helps your muscles
function better, your heart will function better, You'll feel calmer,
you'll you'll sleep better, and so you know, just you know,
(45:25):
adding a few of these things into our daily regiment,
it's you know, it can get easier if it's outside
of something that you've ever done before. If you just
start implementing it somewhere and start you know, putting it
into practice, then every day is going to get easier
and easier, and before you know it, you don't even
(45:46):
think about it anymore. It's just it's just part of
who you are. You're the person that eats real food
and feels great and is thriving on you know, being hydrated,
and so you know, I really do wish this for
all of y'all, and you know, I just love talking
(46:09):
to y'all each week and sharing information with you. Next week,
I've got Kathy O'Brien coming back on. She's really quite
a remarkable woman and such an incredible story that she
tells of her life, and so that should be really exciting.
And this week it's the end of July. I think
(46:30):
we've had a really interesting summer, and I'm really hoping
that all of you have safe and loving families and
the ability to get good food in your in your
family's stomachs and on the table. And I just want
to tell you how much I appreciate all the emails
(46:52):
and letters I get, and I really greatly appreciate you
sharing your valuable time with me on this show. And
I do love your suggestion, so you know, keep keep
those coming in. And you can always sign up for
my free newsletter on my website, organ A healthylife dot com,
(47:12):
and I would love to have you join me and
you can keep up with the events I'm doing and
what's going on with different food aspects. I always do
recipes and different help update information for nutrition or lifestyle
or anything like that. And so you know, let's think
(47:32):
about this week, let's focus our mind on things that
are positive and really, you know, create the life we
want to live. Is we are magnificent beings and we
really are connected with God and I truly believe this.
And what you put in your body is what is
what your temple is made out of. So honor that
(47:54):
temple and you know, give it the quality it deserves.
And and tell yourself those thoughts as well, the thoughts
that you know make your mind feel good and expand
on the parts of your life that you want to
expand on. Right, So what we focus on expand so
(48:16):
you know, don't be you know, I would say avoid
focusing on problems and focus on solutions. And you know,
if that is with your health and things, then focus
on you know, eating real whole quality food and loving
yourself well. So until next week, everyone, I just want
(48:38):
to tell you how much I love you, how much
I want you to stay strong and have just amazing
perfect health. And as we go through our lives and
you connect with those around you, just remember to add
that main ingredient, and that main ingredient is always love.
