"God
satisfies my mouth with good things so that I stay young and strong like
an eagle." --
Psalm 103:5
Following
is some basic nutrition information in a nutshell. However, everyone
is different, and so you must experiment with foods to discover which
foods help you to feel your best. And use your intuition! Here
are some general guidelines that I think would benefit everyone.
Remember, as a rule of thumb, to eat foods the way God created them.
The less they are processed the better.
1.
Eat natural foods the way God created them - not overly
processed by food manufacturers.
2. Eat whole foods, for example, an orange rather than orange
juice (though juices have their place.)
3. Eat small frequent meals. "Graze",
especially if you tend to have unstable blood sugar; and never eat
too much at one time. This puts a tremendous strain on your digestive system and your energy in
general.
4. Avoid, or cut down on white sugar, aspartame, high fructose corn
syrup, and all other
artificial sweeteners. Try Stevia or Blue Agave. They
are both low on the glycemic scale.
5. Try eating whole grain breads, cereals and pasta, instead
of white flour and white flour products These items are among those
which create an ACID condition in the body resulting in numerous
conditions, one of the most common being candida (yeast
infection). White flour products also have no fiber, and few
nutrients.
6. Use salt sparingly. Sea salt is best.
7. Use butter in moderation, rather than margarine or
other hydrogenated fats.
8. Avoid all products that have any kind of artificial
additives in them. Read the labels!
9. Most people are affected adversely by caffeine. Try drinking
green tea, herb teas, or decaffeinated, organic coffee instead.
10. Eat LIVE, preferably raw, or properly cooked
foods. Buy organic if possible.
11. A low glycemic diet is best. Most high fiber foods are
also low glycemic foods.
12. And
whatever you eat, eat with mindfulness and thanksgiving!
Always
remember that only nature has the power to heal, IF given the proper
nutrients which are the building blocks of the body.

Eat Your Veggies, Raise
Your Vibration
by Jenna Avery
(used with permission from
the author)
As sensitive souls, we are deeply affected by
what we take in. This includes information, sensory input, the energy
and emotions of other people, what we drink, and what we eat.
How we might be affected negatively by what we
eat is obvious when it comes to foods we have allergies too, foods
that include chemicals (like MSG), or things like alcohol, sugar,
highly processed foods, and caffeine.
But we can be affected by food positively as
well. In fact, what we eat makes a huge difference in our ability to
function masterfully. This is because there is a vibration to
everything we eat, and it affects our own personal vibration in turn.
High-vibration foods carry a natural,
positive, uplifting energy. You can feel it when you eat them. They
are fresh, whole, natural, organic, “sunlight” foods, grown with
sustainable, clean farming practices. Vegetables and fruits in
particular are naturally high-vibe foods.
My recent story:
I tend to eat very well — I choose fresh,
organic, whole, natural, and unprocessed foods often. Every once in
while, I’ll fall into a bit of a rut and get off track. I noticed
recently that I was feeling less than my usual energy levels, and
realized that I hadn’t been eating enough fresh, high-vibration
foods lately, particularly green vegetables.
Part of the reason was that I simply wasn’t
feeling inspired by the vegetables we were preparing and how
we were preparing them, so I asked for help.
I called my best friend, and said, “I need
to know your favorite veggie stand-by dishes!” She emailed them to
me, and I thought I’d share them with you, too (below).
I also fished out my notes from a great book
called "The Yummy Mummy Manifesto". Anna Johnson’s book motivated me to
think about vegetables (and eating) in a new way with her writing
style. She uses delicious words to describe food, asking things like,
“Why dump a steaming pile of chard on your plate when you can sexy
it up with roasted yams, toasted sesame seeds, chopped carrots,
raisins, and a mustard dressing?” Yowsa. This has become a favorite
recipe of mine, though I make my version with kale, currants, and
sweet potatoes.
The difference is in how she thinks
about the food. I feel it in the vibration her words carry. She adds
adjectives like “chunks, heaps, fresh, whole, and raw” that get my
taste buds intrigued and send me to the grocery store (actually my
husband does most of our grocery shopping) with visions of great
vegetable dishes in my head.
How to Eat High Vibration Foods
Here’s how it works: If you not only make
good food choices, but go beyond that to making high-vibration
food choices, you’ll see positive results in your energy levels,
mood, your ability to manage stimulation and to concentrate, and to
stay grounded, present, centered.
I hear you asking, “But Jenna,
how do I do that?” Here are a few tips to choosing high-vibration
foods:
- Eat lots of vegetables and fruits
that are fresh, whole, and organic, preferably from small
local farms where they are grown by people who care about what
they are doing (yes, this DOES affect the vibration of the food).
If you can’t afford ALL organic, try to eliminate the “dirty
dozen.” You’ll cut down on your pesticide intake by 90%.
- Notice how you feel after you eat
something. This is doing a “vibe-check.” How is your
energy? What is your mood like? If you were to rate your vibration
on a scale of 1 to 10, what would it be? This will help you steer
clear of food choices that leave you in a low vibration state.
- Keep your eyes out for superfoods
like nuts, berries (blueberries, acai, gogi), raw foods (cacao
nibs, veggies) and nutrient-dense foods, like lacto-fermented
vegetables and kefir, and add them in where you can.
- Try to get at least 2 to 3
vibrantly colored foods on your plate at each meal,
preferably different colors (no, brown doesn’t count).
I like to have roasted beets, grated carrot salad, and steamed
greens, along with a grain and a protein, for instance.
- Stay inspired with what you are
eating by getting ideas from other people (see below),
reading great cook books, and mixing and matching your veggies
with other delectable treats, like fresh herbs, Celtic sea salt,
nuts, seeds, cheeses, and dried fruits.
- If you get off track, balance the
not-so-high-vibration foods with the good ones to bring
yourself back into alignment.
- Aim to make 50 to 70% of your plate
be high-vibe veggie-filled!
The best part about all this is that eating
well is great self-care, and will help your intuition and sensitive
radar work clearly and cleanly!
Quick Veggie Ideas to Inspire You
- Roasted yams or sweet potatoes, lightly
steamed chard or kale, toasted sesame seeds, grated carrots,
goji berries, currants, or raisins, and a mustard-sesame oil
dressing.
- Spring Pea Salad — Peas, goat cheese
crumbles, onion, tomato, dill, salt, pepper, vinaigrette dressing.
- Greens with roasted nuts, ginger, dried
cranberries, or garlic and sesame oil.
- Roasted anything — cauliflower, carrots,
red pepper, onions.
- Crunchy raw veggies dipped in hummus,
roasted red peppers blended with walnuts and goat cheese, or
cooked broccoli blended with plain kefir and fresh herbs.
- Broccoli cole slaw (get or shred broccoli),
or marinated broccoli salad (softens the broccoli).
- Red cabbage salad with peanut sauce or
Asian vinaigrette dressing.
- Wilted spinach salad.
- Eggplant pouches — boil eggplant strips
in salted water, lay two in a cross shape, add basil and
mozzarella, top with chopped tomatoes and onions, fold up into a
pouch, and bake.
- Add green veggies to your meal wherever you
can — put cooked spinach into your polenta, or make Pasta
Primavera with hardly any pasta and mostly veggies.
- Stuff bell peppers with chopped veggies and
a protein.
- Add spinach and fajita-style veggies to a
Mexican dish.
- Roasted beet salad with feta, walnuts, and
vinaigrette.
- Grated carrot salad with unsweetened
shredded coconut, toasted pumpkin seeds, poppy seeds, currants and
vinaigrette dressing, OR grated carrot salad with slivered
almonds, chopped fresh parsley, and dressing.

What's This About "Frequency"?
Robert O. Becker, M.D. documents the electrical frequency of the human body in his book, "The Body Electric".
A
"frequency generator" was developed in the early 1920's by Royal
Raymond Rife, M.D. He found that by using certain frequencies , he
could destroy a cancer cell or virus. He found that these
frequencies could prevent the development of disease, and others would
destroy disease.
Bruce
Tainio of Tainio Tech. in Cheney, Washington, developed new equipment to
measure the biofrequency of humans and foods. He used this
biofrequency monitor to determine the relationship between frequency and
disease.
Measuring
in megahertz, it was found that processed/canned food had a zero MHz
frequency.; fresh produce measured up to 15 MHz; dry herbs
from 12-22 MHz; and fresh herbs from 20-27 MHz. A
healthy body typically has a frequency ranging from 62-78 MHz, while
disease begins at 58 MHz.
Frequency
is a measurable rate of electrical energy that is constant between any two
points. Every living thing has an electrical frequency.
Our
bodies have an electrical frequency. A healthy body has a frequency
from about 62 to 78 MHz, while disease begins at 58MHz. Foods need
to be as fresh and alive as possible. It was found that
processed/canned food had a 0 frequency, while fresh produce measured up
to 15MHz.
