The Most Powerful Anti-Inflammatory, Alkaline Foods On Earth! (GardenCast)

drsteve — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 21:26:14 +0000

In addition to being one of my favorite things in the world to do, gardening in cool weather makes the most powerful foods on the planet! GREENS!!!

My mantra to all my clients and students is "More Green, Less Grain" because the bottom line is this…green food by its very nature is ANTI-INFLAMMATORY!

You CAN heal from serious degenerative disease as well as get rid of allergies, asthma, chronic pain, fatigue, colds, flu, bronchitis, and just about any dis-ease known to human kind with this powerful stuff!

Humor me and yourself for a week or so and eliminate all grains from your diet and replace those calories with a dark green leafy salad (NO ICEBERG, OK?).

Get some mixed greens and some romaine and go to town!

Another way to flood your cells with these intense anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory alkaline nutrients is to juice them or put them in a green smoothie.

Here's a quick recipe even your kids will like!

1 large green apple
5 to 10 pineapple chunks
BIG bunch of Kale or Spinach or mix of both
half an avocado
half a lemon
4 OR 5 ice cubes
fill with water to just about the top Blend THOROUGHLY!

Drink up and feel the POWER!!!! As your palate develops to really enjoy the taste of green food, you can cut back on the sweet stuff to lower the insulin response and you'll be AMAZED at the increased energy and vitality you feel!

Try it and let me know how you do by leaving a comment below!

See you next time!

Can A Blender Destroy Nutrients? Plus…”A Big Smile on My Face”

I Get Mail

Today I’d like to share with you a couple of recent emails that I think we all can learn from…Enjoy!

- – - – - – - – - –

Dr. Hoffman,

Quick question…I just saw the "living well- health master blender" on TV, it heats blended food, does that destroy the nutrients of the food? Can blended veggies be warmed on the stove, and still keep the nutritional value of the food? I just meant warmed, not cooked or boiled.

Thanks – Teresa

Hi Teresa, that’s the one with Montel Williams, right? I caught a bit of it one time and it looks like another similar to vitamix and blendtec.

Those high powered dudes can heat up food but the bottom line is whether or not they can break the plane of 105 degrees where enzymes begin to denature or up to 118 degrees where they are completely destroyed.

NUTRIENTS and ENZYMES are distinct, remember…

You can still get nutrients from cooked food (although the quantity is greatly diminished) but you cannot get the enzymes…therefore it will take more of YOUR energy and enzymes to get the energy intensive digestive process done.

So it will TAKE energy from you verses GIVNG you energy (I’m speaking of free electrons that provide your electronegative charge that neutralize the damaging free radicals in your body)

So a food thermometer is the only way…especially if you attempt to use the stove.

But YES, you can enjoy a nice 100 degree bowl of raw soup and still get the enzyme benefits…one of the awesome reasons to have some sort of high powered blender!

See you soon!

And of course, these kind of unsolicited emails ALWAYS make my day!

Hey Dr. Steve – just a note to say thank you for helping me yesterday. My pain and stiffness has disappeared (at least for now), and it is amazing what a relief it is.

I walked around all day yesterday with a big smile on my face. I woke up this morning after the first restful night of sleep in six months and couldn’t wait to start the day. What a difference!

I filled out the form for the trial this morning. I am excited to get started (if I’m accepted) and to work on these issues so that I do not have to deal with pain my whole life. I am concentrating on my breathing patterns as you suggested, and this is making a difference already.

Thanks again!! Talk to you soon. Have a wonderful day.

Jennifer

Jennifer is referring to our "Pain Relief Through Muscle Balance Trial" where our study group is helping us test our new home functional fitness training and posture transformation dvd program along with weekly treatments and training sessions here at the office.

So far it’s going great in that we’ve learned A LOT and have a ton of valuable feedback that will help us make this home program ROCK when we officially release it.

Until then, we’re still looking for more people to help us test our new product and so we are offering it at better than HALF PRICE in exchange for you feedback and success stories! You can CLICK HERE to learn more about our new product and get in on the special bonus we have for early responders!

Think good thoughts, eat good food, and for goodness sakes…KEEP MOVING!

After witnessing "the impossible" at a holistic cancer clinic in Mesa, Arizona while visiting my snowbirding parents early last spring,(see scenic video and photo here) my eyes were opened to the amazing healing power of a raw, living food diet.

No, since then I haven’t been forcing raw veganism on my clients and students BUT it did inspire me to organize the Louisville Area Raw Food Meetup Group this past March. And now we’re growing every week and currently have 58 raw food advocate members and our potlucks, food demos, and educational meetup have been a BLAST! (to join our meetup group, CLICK HERE)

Since I’m the area meetup organizer, Matt contacted me last month and said he and Angela are traveling through the Louisville area in October so we’ve set them up for an afternoon of eduction, motivation, and inspiration to help you learn how to incorporate more vibrant, energizing food into your life.
