Dr. Oz and Healthy Ideas for Dealing with Fatigue, Feeling Drab, Frazzled, and Basically Too Tired to Get Through Your Day
You would think that the production staff on the Dr. Oz show had been reading my Blog to get their healthy ideas for today’s TV show!
One of the experts that discussed ways to deal with fatigue, a case of feeling drab, and the stress that takes the wind out of your sails. She actually showed ‘teff’ and explained its value for a mid-day snack. Hemp seeds were mentioned along with chia seeds and nuts. Just don’t buy rancid nuts from a vending machine and make sure that all of these foods are organic, natural, and fresh.
The Versativa Hemp Pulse and Hemp Pulse Snack Bars are the ideal way to include hemp into your daily routine, especially when you need to take something with you to the office, while you are traveling, and when you can’t stop to get something to eat.
Gluten-Free Foods makes Teff Tortillas and you can find teff in your Whole Foods Markets to make your own from scratch. I am considering making injera commercially available which is usually found only in Ethiopian restaurants and households. It’s a flatbread that is made from teff that soaks up the sauces and is used much as we use a tortilla, papadam, or naan. Would you buy it from me?
She didn’t quite pronounce adzuki beans correctly, but she is trying to give examples of whole foods. The healthy fats of avocado were offered as an option which is better than the cheese. The idea was to eat every three hours to provide the body with protein, carbs, and fats in smaller quantities than a main meal, but enough to maintain an energy level that takes you through the rest of the day. In other words, you might want to learn how to ‘graze’, instead of gulping down big meals.
You can find adzuki beans in any health food store that carries macrobiotic foods and most Whole Foods Markets. You will usually find them in the bulk food section. Food Coops carry these delightful little red beans which can be prepared into both savory and sweet dishes.
When you eat beans like the little red adzukis, please remember to combine them with a whole grain or a soy food partner. This is the basis of the principle of good food combining which is practiced in countries like Japan and China and Mexico since ancient names.
Fermented or cultured foods were identified as an additional food that is good to eat during the day to maintain one’s energy levels. Kim Chi, sauerkraut, pickled daikon, pickled carrots, pickled beets, and some of the fantastic blends that you can get from two of our business associates are ideally suited to aiding your digestion and contributing to your metabolic balance throughout the day.
Vital Choice Cultured Vegetables
Cleopatra bathed in much more than milk. She used honey and pearl powder in addition to other Essential Oils that nourish and heal the skin. No matter how much you do for the skin’s surface with organic oils and creams, you simply get more bang when you nourish your skin from the whole foods that you eat daily.
Color Therapy is much more involved than the so-called experts on Dr. Oz today were able to describe for you. Blue light for pathogens like bacteria? No, honey, that’s not accurate! It’s UV Blue light…let’s spell that out for you novices. ULTRA VIOLET BLUE LIGHT which has been used for decades by those of us ‘in the know’. To set the record straight, blue light affects the Water Element which corresponds to the kidneys, the urinary bladder, and the reproductive organs.
Purple vegetables like carrots, tomatoes, eggplant, and potato are not only going to provide anthocyanins, but many other co-factors that can’t be isolated or taken individually. It’s more important to eat colorful whole foods for your general health, rather than just preparing for bathing suit season to be looking good on the beach while you burn your skin in the hot summer sun. Maybe Dr. Oz can find more experienced experts somewhere…
You will be at your healthiest when you eat a variety of colorful vegetables and fruits. Purple, blue, red, orange, yellow, green, and white…along with brown and so many other fabulous hues of the rainbow found in Nature’s garden. If you haven’t seen a great seed catalog lately, then get one from ‘Seeds of Change’.
