Health is a journey
- not a destination
- not a destination
When I was a kid growing up, we listened to LP records. When we lived in Africa for two years my parents bought an enormous radio and we would be able to listen to the news from Israel. Back in Israel, for my 15th Birthday I was given a big radio tape recorder. Later on I got a walk-man, and a few years later I upgraded it to a CD man. Now, we all have these tiny little ipods.
None of us are using the same computer
we started off with …
Don’t get me wrong. Though there have been many electronic advancements and changes, I still love listening to the old records. But in regard to our food, it seems that instead of it also becoming better and better, it has become worse and worse: less nutrients, less fiber, less vitamins, less minerals, less phytochemicals and more toxic substances: saturated oils, refined sugar and salt, artificial chemicals, lab created vitamins, heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides …
In the USA every 3rd person is obese, or is on his way there, and kids have adult onset diabetes. Israel is rated number 7 on the global obesity ladder, and more and more people have cancer, heart problems, depression, diabetes …
We are digging our graves with our fork and knife.

Monthly Focus: Upgrading
Eating healthy doesn’t mean that you stop enjoying food. On the contrary!!
You choose a healthier, upgraded version of what you love. Doesn’t it seem totally reasonable that if we put natural, organic, healthy foods into our body it will have an effect on our moods, energy, thoughts, happiness, health, awareness … and overall quality of life?
Putting the focus on what is healthy and what we can choose - not on what we are “missing out on” - is one of the secrets.
Another secret that most people don’t know about is: the higher the quality – the lower the quantity. When eating that way, naturally and easily, we also lose weight.
Try it for a few weeks and see how an upgraded you is born. Once you feel the difference you won’t even dream of going back to that old slow computer.
----------------------------------------
Upgraded Food Choices
Take the foods you are eating and upgrade their quality.
Crunchy
Instead of crackers, chips, pretzels – choose apples, homemade apple chips, rice cakes, nuts, soaked peeled almonds, crunchy veggies (carrots, cucumbers, celery) with a dip (humous, vinaigrette, tahini, olive oil, favorite dressing), whole grain toast (with avocado, tahini, humous) …
Sweet
Instead of cookies, cakes, candies, unhealthy chocolate – choose fresh, whole fruit, sprouted bread with tahini and honey, dried fruits and nuts, apple sauce, use cooked leftover grains to make sweet porridge: drizzle on maple syrup and sprinkle with cinnamon, add bananas etc., or smoothies, homemade banana ice cream, freshly squeezed fruit juices, real dark chocolate – over 70% cacao, cooked root vegetables ...
Salty
Instead of foods filled with refined unhealthy salt - choose olives, home made pickles and pickled vegetables, tabouli, humous, tahini (all made with lots of leafy greens and unrefined Himalayan salt), rice cakes with sardines in olive oil and sprouts, steamed vegetables with soy + olive oil, nori seaweed rolls …
Liquids
Instead of drinking horrible toxic sodas go back to plain water, water with lemon and ginger, natural teas, vegetable juices, freshly squeezed fruit juices …
Superfoods – of course!!
Add these to your daily diet. These foods both ancient and new, are life transforming and help us upgrade ourselves instantly: gogi berries, caco beans, maca powder, spirulina, honey, bee pollen, chia seeds …

Strengthening your immune system
by natural means for Winter
DO NOT GET VACCINATED!!
I hope that by now you too are aware of the dangers of the H1N1 Vaccine and that to universally vaccinate everyone is a billion $ business.
Please don't listen to the massive propaganda!
Seek more information, question the system, and become more educated.
As always I recommend increasing your vitamin D through moderate sun exposure (get out there when it’s shining, and with no sunscreen on), strengthen your immune system by eating and living in a healthy way, get plenty of sleep, wash your hands, and use ancient Chinese wisdom.
