Did you ever wonder Why You Eat What You Eat? From the shock of watching the elder generation’s choices of what to eat I started my first great challenge. Using conscious willpower, I chose what I ate instead of eating what my parents fed me.
Did you ever wonder why you were the recipient of what your Mother and Father ate? Also, why you ate everything your Mother liked even if your Father didn’t and visa versa? Did you ever get nutritional choices and proper combining of food education?
In my late teens, the 1960’s – 70’s, I’m asking these questions. In my early 20’s I challenged myself to eat living food instead of mostly dead food. I cut out all flesh, pasteurized/homogenized and processed food and replaced them with eating, squeezing and juicing fruits on an empty stomach, eating raw and steamed vegetables (organic when possible because it even tastes better), fermented foods, pure water, soy milk, coconut milk and oil, yogurt, nuts, seeds, grains, beans, pastas, cheese and vitamins/minerals. I appreciate the chance to cook and create nutritious recipes. I educated myself on medicinal herbs, learn the balance between my structural (exercise)/chemical (everything you ingest or inhale)/emotional self (positive choices). The world of alternative health became my quest and passion. My interest is always open to different ways we can achieve wellness.
