Creation Super-Stew, Secrets Revealed - 9 AM Today

 

I am using this photo in the video to offer the Big Picture in nutrition.

This version will have two parts, the first one offering a simple recipe, thanks to my vegetable and spice consultant. The second part has a lot of material about the advantages of the ingredients, good sources to follow, and research - thoughtful food or food for thought. My regular trips to Walmart convince me that 95% of the food offered is bad and will shorten one's life. The pharmacy and over-the-counter sections are 99% ineffective and often dangerous. I tell the pharm-techs, "My medicine is from produce and the frozen vegetables. Your section is only good for symptoms, not cures." Sometimes they agree.

I talk to cashiers often. One of them said, "How are you eating all this?" I said, in reference to my stash of frozen greens, fresh bananas and apples and blueberries, chickpeas, tomato paste, chopped frozen greens and vegetables - "I changed my habits which made me diabetic and I lost 42 pounds from eating these nutritious , healing foods."

Two Quart Saucepan

• 1-2 inches water water heated up
• blueberries (anticancer, phytonutrients, superfood)
• meat (sausage for Charlie Sue and me)
• walnuts (lowers cholesterol)
• add vegetables and spices, which can be medicinal:
• turmeric (wild ginger, reduces pain)
• black pepper (enhances turmeric)
• Italian seasoning
• allspice
• cardamom
• cumin
• mustard (activates blanched kale and  other cruciferous vegetables)
• curry powder
• chopped green/red peppers/onions
• tomato paste 
• seeds have unusual benefits

Bad Food Categories

Milk and cheese products are fat-centric and lead to brittle bones.

Eggs are fat and provide choline, both bad.

Juices are primarily colorful sweeteners with no fiber.

Bread bellies are self-evident, not very nutritious.

Processed foods? - easy expensive eating from the high cost of salt, fats, sugars.

Habits are skewed on the side of milk, eggs, fats, salt and meat overloads.

Nutrition Based on God's Creation, Compared to Processed Foods

1. Greens
2. Beans
3. Vegetables
4. Fruit
5. Seeds

The Standard American Diet (SAD) is based on fast foods (sugars, salt, fat, white bread), desserts, and snacks. Delivered fast foods and frozen foods are more of the same. The grocery stores glorify SAD and add enormous displays of candy, chocolate, chips, and fruit juices. In short, processed foods are easy and addicting to eat, but short on nutrition and good health.

Chopped frozen greens - kale, spinach, turnip greens, collards - are very high in nutrition, loaded with nutrition, filling, low in calories, and easy to blend in the stew. 

Kale beats all the greens

A single cup, or 21 grams (g), of raw kale contains (1Trusted Source):

• Calories: 7
• Carbs: 1 g
• Fiber: 1 g
• Vitamin K: 68% of the Daily Value (DV)
• Vitamin C: 22% of the DV
• Manganese: 8% of the DV
• Vitamin A: 6% of the DV
• Riboflavin: 5% of the DV
• Calcium: 4% of the DV

Chick peas (garbanzo beans) are a great source for protein and many other benefits. Healthline.com.

• Calories: 269
• Protein: 14.5 grams

• Magnesium: 19% of the DV
• Thiamine: 16% of the DV

Vegetables are high in fiber and flavor. 

They offer a delicious and ever-changing combination of herbs, spices, and mixtures of peas, beans, cauliflower, broccoli, onions, peppers, and mushrooms (a delicious fungus).

Fruits Replace Candy, Ice Creams, and Lame Excuses

Apples, oranges, bananas, watermelon, grapes are often bought as a side dish but should be considered a complete and healthy substitute for the Diabetes Derby (where nobody wins).

Two Nutrition Experts - 

Dr. Joel Fuhrman and Dr. Michael Greger

When I got my blood panel after Christina died, I was shocked into eating differently. Fuhrman's Eat To Live checkmated my live to eat. I found the book in my own library and began reading it over and over.

This is Dr. Fuhrman's link - https://www.drfuhrman.com/

Internet searches and videos got me interested in the work and studies of Dr. Michael Greger. One special advantage of Greger is his free connection to his essays and videos.
