SWEET STUFF: Do We Love It or Are We Addicted?

REAL Sweetness Comes From Nature

What in the world has us think real sugar is BAD and synthetic sweetners are GOOD? I hope you still don't think this...and if you do, i am hoping this article may change your mind. It has been decades since TAB softdrink (like diet coke for you young folks) hit the shelves. And like magic a market for diet products was created....we've been getting fatter and sicker ever since. 

You all know about Aspartame (951/E951)...and if you don't you need a slap. This stuff is poison. Google it and get ready to throw out your diet foods forever! Today i am going to feature a good friend of Aspartames...yes another sweetener. (Like we need more of them). Check it out!! 

Acesulphame Potassium (950/E950)

Potential Effects: Prohibited in foods for infants (there's a hint), reported to have produced tumours, leukaemia, and chronic respiratory disease in animal studies. 

Uses: mints, custard powders, dips, snacks, jelly, sauces and toppings, softdrinks, sugar free food and oral care products.

Now I am no rocket scientist but it doesn't take a genius to consider that if they prohibit this stuff in foods for infants, then it can't be good for anyone right?!! Then why is it allowed to be put into our food.

I am glad i have become aware of the things put into food to improve flavours, prelong shelf life and cause us to become addicted. I simply choose not to eat foods like this. It is amazing how my tastes have changed.

I wonder if in 20 years our kids will look back at these times with disbelief....well i hope they do.

My Daughter Loves Natures Lollies

My daughter loves the sweet goodies from natures table and often asks for natures lollies. These include: dates, strawberries, blueberries, cherries...just to name a few.

Whenever Sammi comes home from a birthday party with the bag of lollies she asks me what to do with them..."should we throw them in the bin mummy or give them away". Normally she tosses them in the bin. Occasionally she asks if she can have one...and i say this "baby, close your eyes and see how your body feels. See that it is relaxed and happy. By all means have a lolly, but i want you to take notice how your body feels in about 10 minutes. It is your body and you have to make your own choices about what you eat. Just notice how you feel and become aware of what is in these things".

Later she would tell me her body feels jumpy and yucky. I would then look up the lollies online and tell her what was in it. She rarely asks for them nowadays.

WATER: What's All The Fuss About?

I am not going to rave on about how important water is, you should already know that. Instead I will give you some insights about water you don’t typically hear about. After all folks, we really do need this fabulous free resource to live…you know that right?

What You Need To Know

Drink it! Yep, that’s about it. Drink water and you may just resolve every health complaint in your life. Drink 1 Litre per 22kgs of body weight (0.25 gallons per 48lbs) each day. There are huge debates on whether to drink warm, room temperature or cold water. I say, you choose….just make sure you drink it. That’s the most important thing.

What You May Not Know

Water needs to be alive…yes folks it can be dead and be no value at all to you. Rivers run, Oceans move, rain fall. Nature has magically set this up for us to put electricity into our water.  Look what happens when your fish tank pump dies…so do your fish. This is because the water loses life. To bring your water to life tip your bottled water into a glass (through the air like rain) and then tip it into another glass and repeat once more. That’s it!  

For Those Who Don’t Like Water

WTF!! You got to ask yourself one simple question: what has happened to your tastebuds or your emotional connection to water that prevents you from enjoying the most important requirement of the body (second to air)? Here are a few guesses: you drink soft drinks, you drink instant coffee, you have a diet high in processed food, water makes you go to the bathroom a lot and it is a pain, you forget to drink it.

I knew someone who drank only diet coke, no water. I was blown away! He told me he had Leukaemia and was on 23 drugs a day. My intuition told me there was a direct link. After a quick discussion about water and the addictive and deadly chemicals in diet drinks he decided to go cold turkey and only drink water. 2 years later he was on no drugs (let me repeat that) NO DRUGS and was leukaemia free. Sounds amazing doesn't it. Well, this is a true story and he now enjoys a healthy and happy life.

Makes me wonder what else could be caused by 'non water' drinks.

Your Body Will Drink Bath Water

Your body will exchange about 1 litre of water per hour (or thereabouts) if you soak in a bath. So enjoy a good soak. Add ‘good’ salt to your bath…and don’t add chemical bubble baths etc. because these will soak into your body with the water…not a good idea.

Water Kills Plants

Dead water and microwaved water will kill plants if used as there only water source. A young girl did an experiment with mircowaved water on one plant and filtered water on another. The plant getting microwaved water died in nine days whilst the other plant thrived.

What does this tell you? What this tells me is that ditching my microwave oven 10 years ago was a smart choice. It also shows the importance of live, moving water. Go check out this and many other experiments online. Get water wise.

What's Obvious

·     Drink fresh, live (energised), ‘real’ water; it is the easiest change you can make.

·     If you don’t like the taste of water, your tastes are more than likely governed by addiction.

·     Commercial waters with extra ‘you need it’ chemicals in them are no good for you.

·     Water: drink it, swim in it, bath in it, dance in and celebrate it….it IS a life saver.

What's Next?

Get up, walk over to the cupboard, grab two empty glasses, fill one with water, now tip it into the second cup and repeat. NOW DRINK IT...nice huh.

Next time you go to drink ANYTHING other than water STOP!!! and see if you have the 'will' to put it down and grab a glass of water instead. If you can't then perhaps you may have an addiction to the chemicals in whatever it is you 'need' to drink....just sayin.

WTF is Nude Food? Glad You Asked

Nude food (well this blog) is an open discussion on the simple wonderments about food from natures table. Yep folks, I have come over from the dark side...I have become an healtharian...here's why.

The Deb Field Nude Food Story
In 1996 I ended up in the fetal position on the floor of a supermarket with severe pain in my abdomin. Steve grabbed me and took me to the hospital as he thought my appendix migth be about to burst. They injected pain killers right away...and after some tests the doctor discovered gallstones.

WHAT??!! How did this happen?!! My doctor told me to have my gallbladder removed as it was a normal procedure and I didn't really need it anyway. I assumed a doctor would know better than me about my body. It didn't occur to me to question cutting me open. Or to wonder why I had a body part I didn't really need. So I had it removed.

A few years later I found myself with irritable bowel syndrome and, after a terrible time with it, I connected with a traditional chinese medicine practitioner who resolved it... in 3 days. AMAZING! But then she told me that I hadn't needed to get my gallbladder removed, that the stones could've easily been fixed. This intrigued me. How could they have been "fixed"? And why didn't my doctor know about this?

And so started my journey of discovery. I decided to take my health into my own hands and learn about how this body really works. Since then I have been able to resolve my own health issues as well as support other people on their holistic health journey.

The amazing information and simple magic of food astounds me. I am absolutely certain that any human condition of dis-ease can be resolved using the ancient wisdom from natures table.
