FOOD IS MEDICINE...EATING IS RITUAL: Reflections and Recipes

Namaste!
     Wonderful to have those of you in my Food is Medicine...Eating is Ritual Workshops.  Groups 1 & 2  will be merging together at Step 4!  However, I want to keep you clear and steady in your transformation toward true health: vitality, well-being, radiance, and longevity.  Until we all merge together, you want to cultivate more and more strength and refinement in what and how you relate to and eat food.  Here are the most important things to be honing in on:

1-Creating the proper ecological condition within the body or digestive tract for adequate and proper absorption of nutrients AND elimination of toxins and solid waste

2-Choosing those foods and medicines that are of or closest to their original, "god- made design" (avoid man made, processed, refined, packaged items)...

3-Focusing on WHAT YOU CAN EAT 

*organic fruits (focus on high, nutrient rich dense, berries) and vegetables (always at least 80% of your meals)

*organic grass-fed, free-range, locally raised protein sources or

*wild rice, basmati, brown rice & legumes or beans or even better:

*quinoa, millet, amaranth, buckwheat

*amazing fats: coconut oil, olive oil, avocados, hemp oil, flax oil w/ particulates, chia seeds

*organic, sprouted seed/nut bread if you must (ezekial sprouted breads are a good option along with organic, sprouted corn tortillas

*raw, live dairy if you must...goat milk products digest better

*nuts & seeds especially: soaked & sprouted raw almonds, cashers, brazil nuts, walnuts, sunflower...chia...hemp...sesame...

*herbal teas

*purified water w/ pinch of celtic sea salt or himalayan sea salt (hydrate on an empty stomach not while eating please)

*organic yogurts without added sugars, kefir, kim chee, sauerkraut, 

*organic raw cacao products & super foods 

*organic red or small fingerling or marble potatoes 

*spices/herbs (make food enzymatic, more digestible & medicinal)

*lemons/limes 

4-Supplements to clean out digestive tract:

*psyllium husk + caprylic acid or coconut oil + bentonite clay (little to no issues) or

*triphala cleanse + all the above or (medium issues)

*chia seeds w/ water + all the above  (sensitive issues in digestion)

5-Honoring Thy body & mind as a Temple through healthy habits:

*hydrating in the morning .5-quart of pure water w/ sea salt

*drinking warm lemon tea after to help remove mucous plaque from intestines

*intake supplements above to clean out digestion

*free your joints and/or do yoga asanas for detoxification

*intake BRAGGS organic, raw apple cider vinegar as a shot or tonic 10 min. before each meal and/or

*intake whole leaf aloe vera juice 10 min before meals 

*have your biggest meal at breakfast or lunch at latest

*eat your last meal before it gets dark

*digest meals completely before eating the next or snacking

*eat slow and make sure food is mashed up in mouth as completely as possible before swallowing

*eat no more than 80% full 20% for digestion

*a minimum of 80% vegetables 20 % protein

*layer food for proper digestion (see sample dish below as an example)

*if you must drink something while eating, let it be herbal tea

*intake enzymes especially if you have and eat contrary to what we've discussed

*get at least .5 exercise, good rest, 20 min at least of sunshine, fresh air, and good times with friends & family

*take yogic breaths to release stress, detox, and alkaline the body

*meditate or sit still with focus on your breath and keeping a clear, relaxed inner self

*keep a journal and open communication along this journey

*reflect and share with your support group about what you are feeling, discovering, and experiencing 

*keep each other motivated, inspired, and steady in stride

Prems Recipe Breakfast:

A big plate of baby arugula, chard, kale, spinach, & tat soi w/softly running poached eggs. This is dressed w/ Prems signature dressing: grape seed vegenaise, raw apple cider vinegar, namo shoyu, nutritional yeast.  Last, making it more digestible and yummy, layering lots of hemp seed oil, hemp seeds, raw goat feta cheese, lemon zest, paprika, cayenne, and lemon juice.  Warmed sprouted corn tortillas on the side :))

Food is Medicine Eating is Ritual: Kitcheree Recipe and update

Food is Medicine

Eating is Ritual

As we have learned, some of the main culprits that wreak havoc on our health are: all processed and refined foods, artificial and unnatural additives, toxins in our environment and products, white sugar, bad food combining, bad digestive habits, excessive use of stimulants, unnecessary or overprescribed pharmaceutical drugs, and lack or loss of intake of vital nutrients.  In the ayurvedic system of health which is the sister science of yoga, toxins or "ama" are the main cause of disease.  If not properly eliminated, they get recirculated in the body and/or lodged as fat deposits. The toxicity of these culprits manifests as arthritis, chronic inflammation, allergies, gastrointestinal issues, depression,  insomnia, hormonal dysfunction/imbalances etc..., the list goes on.  So, detoxing and purifying our diet, making sure we eat whole, nourishing and healing foods, and taking steps to insure optimal digestion (intake of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, good fats, fiber, hydration) as well as  timely elimination is key.  This is the core understanding of this workshop.

Last, we are learning how to relate to food by tuning into what we eat and why.  Understanding what our body needs at any point in time and choosing foods, spices, herbs, and medicine to achieve a more full and whole profile of nutrients.  Only with this empowered, mindful, and attentive approach can we truly attain our potential not just in body but, also in mind and spirit for what we put into our mouths and how we live serves as the foundation for higher levels of consciousness.  Eat more crudifying and acid forming foods and living a life of constant stress and pressure to go, go, go, you must ask yourself what quality of life would be attained?; what would be the quality of your thinking process and behavior?  Eat more whole, organic, pure foods that hold essential nutrients and healing properties that alkaline, balance, and harmonize the body/mind, living a life of ease and cultivating contentedness and ask how that would feel and look like.  How can you see yourself and your life changed?  

My goal with these workshops is to help you be empowered and feel healthy in body and mind!  This means vitality in your internal organs, radiance in you smile, longevity in your lifespan, and well-being in your heart such that life becomes so full of spirited life force that abundance and service just flows.  Empowered in right intention, thoughts, words, and actions, what better place to start, then the very food we choose to eat and how we eat!  We are going right to the source...learning to take better care of THIS BODY, THIS MIND, THIS LIFE right now!

Some recipes of the dishes we had that demonstrate some key concepts we discussed:

 KITCHEREE (left)

*A nice way to start detoxing by going on a mono-diet.  This is 3-5 day fast eating just kitcheree which in ayurveda helps detox the body and heal digestion.  

1-Soak 2 cups split red lentils for at least .5 hours

2-Wash 1 cup basmati brown rice at least 3x 

3-Add lentils and rice in a pot filling w/ purified water 2" above (add more as needed) bringing this to a boil for 7 minutes then cover and simmer for 20min

4-In sauce pan sautee in coconut oil: mustard seeds, cumin, corieander, fennel bulb, tumeric, ginger, garlic, onion, clove, cardamom, and cinnamon until mustard seeds start to pop...then add chopped cauliflower and carrot until tender

4-Add the sautee to the lentils and rice and stir well on low heat 

5-Turn off when everything is a soft, thick consistency

6-Add celtic sea salt to your liking and serve w/ cilantro and fresh squeeze of lemon on top

-stay tuned to my blog for recipe for:

 Shitake vegetable lettuce cups 

with asian slaw (right)

*Reminder to my Saturday Group:

You are doing castor packs, abdominal massage, and trying the mono-diet of kitcheree for 1-5 days...3-5 is recommended :))  Keep up with the changes you are making moving more and more into healthier options, substitutes, and ways of living!  Fourth step will resume to Mondays starting in June...I will e-mail to bring us together!

Namaste,
