"Let thy food by thy medicine" said Hippocrates.. as mimicked on this existing page http://www.consciousazine.com/let-thy-food-be-thy-medicine.html This new page in wholly stick is standing behind that idea, the idea food can be used for more than turning your stomach into a rubbish dump or that eating is a chore and must go by some strict regiment(experiential grid like veganism). On this page the aim is to show a novice how to move through stages of modification of their consumption habits to a point they feel totally fulfilled/nourished/painless by what they are eating whilst enjoying their food to the fullest leading a vitalic long life: Benjamin Couwenberg and other healers will slowly build a step by step and meaning full, guide, to fooding in the 22nd century:
"how do my soups taste so super? well like any shaman knows like when u go to the forest guys for instance and they give you their little bowl of healing brew for your depression your cancer whatever, they add things like fish oil fats because fat and oil carry, flavour. so iv found adding olive oil to be the best, and how much? well like david wolfe says the day u start measuring is the day it stops being fun.
so anyway i wouldnt do it with coconut oil too often sometimes its legit, it just works with some ingredients, But it can throw the flavour olive oil never seems to throw the flavour off. seseame seems to thin and i dont know flavourless or bland also so i dont get great results with it as nice as olive but i sometimes use that because its all i have, and for instance avocado oil with i dont know if thats tannin flavour or i should just call it bitterness, also can throw it. I always throw my greens in like parsley(again neutral or well i love the flavour say spinach would throw the soup flavour too much so with greens follow the same logic as the oils) at the end just before its done only to seep out and make more bioavailable the nutrition." ~benjamin couwenberg 2017
Emotional eating is something that everyone does once in a while. The problem arises when emo-eating becomes a regular occurrence. Many people who frequently emotionally eat usually have a tough time coping with strong, unpleasant emotions that they are currently experiencing. Eating becomes a way for the person to "escape" from the situation because planning what you will eat, preparing the food and then escaping into a probable "food coma" all are temporary distractions from whatever is going on in that person's life at the moment. If you find that you are reaching for food when you're not hungry quite often, use the following steps to help you curb the emo-eating habit for good. 1. Acknowledge that you are actually emotionally eating You can't possibly know that your emo eating until you take a moment to ask why you are eating in the first place. Ask yourself, "Am I physically hungry right now?" If the answer is no, then move on to the next step. 2. Ask, "Why am I eating?" You'll need to come up with a list of reasons like, I'm stressed, bored, tired/need an energy boost, procrastinating, need a break from a lame activity, etc. The more you explore these reasons why, the better you will be able to understand your emotional eating triggers (more on that in #5). 3. Now that you have your why, ask "What do I need right now?" The reason emotional eating is such a huge problem for so many people is because most of us were never taught to deal with our emotions in a healthy way. It's the reason there are so many people with substance addiction problems -- they usually stemmed from not having the skills necessary to deal with unpleasant emotions. By asking "what do I need right now?" you are helping yourself discover what you actually need in lieu of food. Some needs might be a hug, a listening ear, something fun/exciting to do, a good long cry, alone time, a break, etc. And guess what? The thing you come up with will never be "eat the entire jar of Nutella." 4. Make a plan. Once you find out what it is you need, come up with a list of things you can do to fill those needs that have nothing to do with food. Take a piece of paper and write some of the basic emotions that you normally experience that usually make you eat, and list them across the top. Make them into columns. Under each emotion column, make a list of activities that you would enjoy to do instead of eating. Post this list in your kitchen -- either on your fridge, above your kitchen table or on your pantry door. This list can contain anything that suits you -- the Internet is a great resource if you get stuck, just Google "things I can do when I'm_______ (name the emotion)." Some examples include: Boredom: If you're bored and you are eating to take up time, you can grab out your phone and play a game, like Tetris. Sadness: Journal, have a good cry, create or color or craft something, take up a new hobby. Exhaustion/Tiredness: You need to go put your head down for 15 minutes or take a nap if possible. Anger: Exercise (especially vigorous) is a powerful way to dispel your anger. Procrastination: Procrastination eating, or as I call it "Procrastieating," is usually a sign that you need to take a break from the task at hand or find a way to make the task fun or enjoyable. You could also postpone the task (if possible) in order to keep you from eating to avoid it. Fear/Worry: Call a friend who listens really well or can calm you down when you feel fearful or worried. 5. Get to know your "Triggers" and then work to eliminate them. Once you've practiced handling your emotions without using food to cope, you need to start noticing what triggers your emotions or your desire to eat in the first place. When you're discovering your why for emotional eating use these unpleasant emotions as a guide for what's not working for you in your life. If you're finding that you feel a strong urge to eat an entire bag of chips after you talk to your mom about your parenting, you might want to come up with ways to avoid that particular trigger. Maybe avoiding that subject all together could be the answer, or perhaps a simple conversation with your mother about how she makes you feel when you talk about parenting might be also be a good solution. Maybe you feel bored at cocktail parties so you sit by the appetizer table and munch all night long to cure your boredom. In this case, you need to avoid attending them all together, or challenge yourself to meet four new people at the party and fill your boredom with interesting conversation on topics that light you up.
"The no1 healer for emotional eating i have found, is consciously grounding AKA earthing or re-anionization and conversing with madre. If you are still hungry after, then drink phytoplankton waters, coconut waters and have some oils in on you, before proceeding to eat a meal." ~benjamin couwenberg site creator www.consciousazine.com
The problem gives way to the solution, the problem and the solution are not separate. Thus for our true well being, the less karma we build up would be most beneficial. The video the meat industry doesn't want us to see: Secret footage of hatchery shows baby chicks killed and tossed into black bin-liners as others are processed on assembly line like they are already dead Shocking footage reveals the inhumanity of how chirping chicks are treated on the first day of their lives, processed like meat on an assembly line. The footage shows how weak chick's heads are torn off - while they are still alive - while the more unlucky ones are thrown in black bin liners without even being killed if they are not considered suitable for the meat industry. The video, filmed secretly by an animal rights campaign group, shows them being packed into crates by the thousand and shut in dark cupboards to be stored. The tiny animals are poured from boxes onto conveyor belts, where workers throw them from section to section by the handful, tossing them carelessly as though they are inanimate objects. The birds can be seen being shot through chutes onto the next section of the assembly line. Some chicks that hatched late are not even separated from the broken shells. They can be seen being crushed along with the broken egg shells. Those that survive to the later stages of the factory line are then dropped onto a carousel, where they pile up. Workers then pick them up, stab them with a vaccination needle, then throw them down a hole in the middle within seconds. The video goes on to highlight how the chicks are sent to industrial growth farms and pumped with growth hormones, growing to full size within just 40 days. Some will grow so fast that their legs cannot keep up, and they become immobilised in the battery farms. The video, by a group called Animal Equality, describes it as 'what the meat industry doesn't want us to see'. The footage, which has now been viewed more than 30million times, is believed to have been shot in the USA, although practices are similar in Britain. Millions of chicks born on egg farms every year never make it through their first day as they are killed simply for being born male. The chicks, which are useless as they cannot lay eggs, are either gassed or thrown into macerating machines, which kill them instantly. The British Egg Information Service (BEIS) claims that they are 'humanely gassed', and has admitted in the past that this happens whether the eggs are free range or not. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3466633/The-video-meat-industry-doesn-t-want-Secret-footage-hatchery-shows-baby-chicks-killed-tossed-black-bin-liners-processed-assembly-line-like-dead.html
