   Hey Sue ,

   Do I have a treat for you!

   The New Whole Foods Encyclopedia

   For nutritional information and how to heal pretty much any health problem with food, this book is an invaluable resource. Rebecca Wood has been in the field for 30+ years or something like that, she’s amazing.

   Hippocrates, the father of medicine, said “let your food be your medicine”. He also said “physician, heal thyself.”

   It’s amazing the difference in health and happiness that can occur from eating organic, whole foods, and staying away from chemically treated, processed foods. It’s like night and day.

   I can get kind of forceful about spreading this message on food, but it is only because I have seen the dramatic effects on health and happiness which eating well can have in a person’s life.

   This book is the very, very best book out there for this area of understanding, it can prevent the need for trips to the doctor, and ultimately I think that it can almost prevent the need for visiting the doctor altogether, after one has eated well for a year or two.

   Anyway, I had to share this book with you – it’s been revolutionary in the promotion of my own health and the health of my loved ones.

   Speak with you later Sue!

   Thank You Lucid Nomad!!!!

   I’ve known for years, too, that processing destroys the nutrients in our foods. The majority of us are eating more and more and getting less and less nutrition from it.

   I’ve watched over decades as ‘fear of not having enough’ has manifested on every level of reality. I’ve watched as we packed on pounds, knowing that ‘scarcity’ is what is on the minds of most of us, regardless of all the hooplah about manifesting ‘abundance’. It’s sure not on inner levels. What’s on inner levels are Fear, Insecurity and Doubt.

   Hello, I followed a link from the Naked Soul’s site to here, and wanted to thank you for this chart. I love these types of charts. but wanted to say as well that I too believe strongly that what we eat affects us so very much. If we properly nourish ourselves not only does it affect our physical health and being but our mental health as well.

   I did not realize this until about 3 years ago. I came upon eating what is called raw-food as a way of nourishment and I went ‘raw’ completely for 3 months to experiment with this. I could not believe how much it changed the way I felt and feel about everything. I shifted I think .

   Thank you for this chart and for your writings here, I see your categories and wish to know what is in them so will return to read more.

   Hey Sue Ann. Wonderful. My viewer is cutting off part, but this chart looks like something I have seen recently, but I can’t remember where. Thank you so much for sharing. I am not a raw foodie, but I read a lot and am very interested in that path. Most of the foods I eat naturally are raw: fruits, lettuce, vegetables. And I must agree, when I concentrate my days more on that food (I don’t eat meat/chicken/pork/etc.), I feel “lighter”, less complicated somehow.

   Ok, going back up to read your post and the comments again.

   I bet ‘lucidnomad’ will clarify the link for us!

   If we ponder how much human attention and what kind of human attention is given the preparation of the food we eat, we may come to understand how much Love we’re feeding ourselves.

   There really IS something to tlc, when it comes to energetically feeding us. It’s what makes a simple pot of beans prepared lovingly, of more value in supporting well being, then any 5 star meal prepared by a chef that doesn’t care. Much less a machine, that doesn’t feel anything at all, therefore has no energy of that level to add to it.

   Both nutrients and antioxidants are stripped from food, through processing. Making a lot of what we eat, virtually empty calories.

   There will come a day, where we all turn our lawns into gardens, just for the value of the fresh food.

   I’d also add to that chart that mustard helps support our immune system. When ever there is a ‘bug’ in the air around me, I’ll crave mustard. Once I eat enough of it, the craving goes away. The mustard, is to boost my body’s own immune system.

   Mustard on popcorn, that’s one of my favorites.

   You are most welcome here! Thank you for adding your insight to this blog. Sincerely, thank you.

   What I read from your words was how much you Loved yourself. Thank you for that, too. The more of us that travel down that path, the easier and bigger the path gets.

   And the more we love ourselves the more empowered we are to love others.

   Hey again all ,

   I’ll try to post the link again, I’m not sure why it didn’t work the first time, here goes:

   New Whole Foods Encyclopedia

   I think I missed a quotation mark the first time, but I can’t edit the original, so here’s the correct link, hopefully! It’s a great book, very, very worth picking up. It’s rare to find something with so much clear, helpful information in it,

   No doubt it took a lot of leg work to get all of that info totally right, truly one of those rare resources where everything in it is correct and truly helpful. A true help to those who find it.

   Take care all, peace, be well.

   -Joe

    what I find myself doing, since reading about raw food is breaking down what is actually in certain foods that I crave, like you say you crave mustard when bugs are about, but is it the mustard seeds themselves you crave? what the actual mustard seed has? or the turmeric that is added.

    I honestly have no idea Tumel. I am aware that certain Native cultures used the mustard seed for health and well being. 22 seeds a day for women and 23 seeds a day for men. About 1/4 tsp. Why the number of seeds is relevant, I have no idea. What I do know, is that I’m too lazy to count out 22 mustard seeds a day.

    It could very well be the mustard in the mustard. It could very well be the tumeric, added. Like a lot of screwy stuff that will just pop up from time to time, I learned to Trust the guidance coming from within and follow it, to my own benefit. So out comes the popcorn and mustard.

    A friend of mine sent this to me as is, with the request to share it, so that is exactly what I did. I thank all of us, for passing it on.
