We’ve all heard that an apple a day keeps the doctor away. Well, it seems the benefits found in good organic apples also can be found in good organic Apple Cider Vinegar. These include:
1. Beta-carotene for healthier cells.
2. Boron for healthy bones.
3. Enzymes for good digestion.
4. Good pectin fiber lowers bad cholesterol.
5. Iron for good health.

This past week I’ve had a sore throat and have successfully treated it with an apple cider vinegar and honey drink, and some drops of Wild Mediterranean Oregano Oil. This is in contrast to the same sore throat my wife had earlier that developed into a painful strep throat that affected her for many weeks, even with antibiotics. (I have no idea how I would have picked up her sore throat.)

You can find all of these products at one of our advertiser’s websites: www.AzureStandard.com where you can search for apple cider vinegar, oil of oregano, and raw honey. If you live in Utah or Southern Idaho you can also look at the deliver web site www.AzureDelivery.com for information related to the product delivery.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on how vinegar has helped you or what other ways you have found to use apple cider vinegar. Be sure and leave your comments below.

This study by the Environmental Working Group involved 10 umbilical cords. Other researchers have conducted similar blood studies. These studies dispel the myth that a mother somehow, magically keeps cancerous chemicals from her fetus. People that are not in tune with natural organic whole foods are shocked to find that these chemicals come from common consumer products.

If you are expecting, hoping to get pregnant, or nursing. Please remember that whatever you eat affects your baby. If you eat a lot of processed foods this will affect your baby. I remember how the midwife we have used has all kinds of tests to keep the mother’s health as good as possible to make for an easier delivery. My wife can testify that taking all the vitamins and watching her diet wasn’t always fun, but the results were a lot better than any OBGYN ever helped her achieve through conventional medical practices.

So remember our baby’s health begins with us. As parents we need to lead by example eating the natural organic whole foods that will not only make us live a healthier life, but also pass that same health on to our children. Our little ones want to be like us, (at least while they are young) so we need to give them natural organic whole foods that are good for them and taste good. If I won’t eat right, how can I possibly expect my children to eat right?

Would eating primarily natural organic whole foods have changed this? I am becoming convinced that the answer is certainly, YES! The reason is two fold. First of all there are so many chemicals used in food production today that cause a wide range of trouble for our bodies. For example I recently read an article that while many dangerous pesticides like DDT have been banned for use in our country since the year I was born (1972) most American’s still get DDT into their systems by eating vegetables from our grocery stores. This seems incredible until you consider that a lot of vegetables are grown outside the country and shipped in so we have a lot of variety year round. In other countries there are no bans against these chemicals and they are still used. We are then slowly poisoned and our bodies actually show signs of early aging because of the stress these chemicals can cause our bodies to have to deal with all the time. A diet that primarily consists of natural organic whole foods, avoids this poisoning.

Also there are many vitamins and minerals that we need in our bodies to maintain a healthy and active life. These are found in much higher quantities in food that you grow organically and naturally in your back yard. Locally grown natural organic whole foods, definitely seem to be an important part of a healthy lifestyle.

Let me know what you think about this, by posting a comment to this blog post below. I would like to hear your opinion on this question. Do you think natural organic whole foods are really healthier and better for you?

The formula is simple, avoid processed foods, eat natural organic whole foods, preferably that are locally grown and add a few good activities to your life and you will achieve the weight loss you desire naturally. You don’t have to be crazy about this, but avoiding processed foods will change most people’s lives. Having a few natural organic whole foods as better tasting alternatives to a diet that is full of processed fast food, canned foods, or foods with lots of preservatives will not accomplish this. You simply need to eat food in the closest state to the natural as possible. In your food preparation, use methods of cooking and preparation that preserve the natural vitamins and minerals found in the foods you eat.

Let me know your ideas and thoughts on becoming your appropriate weight, and natural weight loss in your comments to this post.

An analogy on this subject of natural organic whole foods can be drawn from the vehicles we drive. Gas is getting more expensive these days, so should we still put good quality gas in our cars? Well why don’t we just water down the gas a bit with some water? The water can be found for free and it shouldn’t effect the car that much. Now it depends on the car, and some will work ok with some water in the gas. I mean they’ll sputter and choke some, but will keep on going.

That is sort of how it is with our bodies. You don’t’ have to eat natural organic whole foods to survive, but your body will certainly run better on good fuel. Only with your body with pesticides and preservatives ad up the medical bills are a bit more than a trip to the mechanic. At the same time if you use your body up, your health goes and your body dies. One of the things we have found with our modern life is that although we can extend life with drugs, the quality of that life really isn’t that good in a lot of cases. Eating right now, including natural organic whole foods choices will make all the difference in the quality of your life down the road.

I would love to hear your thoughts on why you choose to eat natural organic whole foods. Leave your comments below and let me know.

Today I would like to share with you something that I have recently read and am now investigating. There is a fiber that is derived from the Konjac Root, known for centuries in Asia. The plant is native to Japan and China and has been used for centuries by women to maintain a healthy weight.

Konjac Root’s main component is called Glucomannan, and my initial research indicates that this root is a water soluble starch and has the effect of helping people to loose weight (it can swell up to 17 times in water) because it helps maintain a “full” feeling. Also various studies show that this konjac root has been effective in reducing bad cholesterol while increasing good cholesterol. Also Konjac Root seems to have the effect of helping regulate blood sugar levels. Both low blood sugar and high blood sugar conditions have been dramatically improved. In one place I read of a type two diabetic who was able to get completely off insulin and eat normally because of using Konjac Root!

Now at this point I don’t have enough information to claim that this Konjac Root is a natural organic whole foods miracle, but it certainly is worth learning more about. I have ordered some of the flour made from the Konjac Root and will begin doing some experimentation myself. I’ll let you know the results.

In the mean time I would appreciate your comments and letting me know what other ‘healing foods’ you know about in particular foods that are natural organic whole foods that heal. Also whatever you know about Konjac Root in your comments below would be appreciated.

The natural organic whole foods you buy have already made the trip from the field to the market to you and the farther away the field is the longer it has probably been since the food was harvested. This means that there is a limited time for you to use your natural organic whole foods before they turn to a rotten goop. This makes planning ahead important.

We have all probably heard the saying “Waste Not – Want Not”. If you take the time to shop wisely, prepare your natural organic whole foods in the appropriate times and quantities you will discover that your grocery bill goes down. The fresher your food is the better it will taste and also the better for you it tends to be. So buy less at a time, prepare less at a time and you will find less food rotten in your refrigerator, and have more dollars in your pocket too.

Of course, when you do loose food to the natural process, there are always ways you can put this “rotten food” to good use. You can feed the food to your chickens, and if you don’t have chickens you can get composting red worms and they will be happy to turn your organic waste into the perfect natural organic fertilizer. So lets think about how we can waste not, lower our expenses, and get more out of our natural organic whole foods lifestyle.

Let me know what you have done to “waste not” in your comments below.

Whole foods didn’t even have this title 100 years ago, but this dentist became a pioneer in the discovery that raw whole foods seemed to make a huge difference not only in dental problems, but also in all other aspects of health. We discover also in the video below that another doctor, Dr. Francis Pottenger, did a 10 year study on the effects of processed foods on cats. This study demonstrated that processed foods caused all kinds of problems and after only 3 generations the unhealthy cats were all dead, and could not reproduce.

Whole foods really will save your life! You can see the problems of many “petroleum based” food additives in Danika Amott’s article in the current issue of the Harvest Source Whole Foods Journal magazine. I am also convinced that we can do much better in regard to our dental practices.

It turns out that a lot of other people feel the same way about modern dental practices. This would show why Dr. Robertson’s ad is doing so well in the current issue. You will find his ad titled “Is Your Dentist Killing You?” on page 24 of this same Spring issue. Dr. Robertson’s effort to be a dentist that is good for you, instead of one that just hurries through the job and ends up causing the patient health problems down the road because of mercury poisoning or dental decay that was not completely removed.

Whole Foods really can and will make a difference in your life and the life of those that you love. I would highly recommend that you increase your whole raw food consumption to at least 50 percent of your diet. The dentist talked about in the video below, Dr. Weston Price, has proven years ago that eating the locally grown whole raw foods and vegetables will save your life and make you healthier. His studies show that if you only eat whole foods 30 percent of the time, you will still be unhealthy. I must acknowledge that I am responsible for my own health and should start paying better attention to what I eat. Nobody has ever forced me to eat anything! I need to choose wisely if I want whole foods to give me health I must make sure I include enough in my diet to make a real difference.

One of the comments that I hear all the time when I tell people that I am associated with a magazine in the Natural Organic Whole Foods Industry is “I would like to do that but organic foods are just so expensive” Yes, foods grown organically can be expensive when you simply compare one apple to the next, but if you consider all of the costs involved in eating unhealthy foods, natural organic whole foods are pretty cheap next to medical bills.

But one of the things that got my attention recently was the idea that many people are every year eating the best healthy vine ripened produce and aren’t paying anything for it. Yes that’s right they get it for FREE! All they have to do is the work required to grow the vegetables in their own back yard or even on a small patio in pots many things like tomatoes for example do very well. Some of these people have been doing this for more years than the natural organic whole foods “industry” has even existed.

With a little bit of TLC you can take a package of seeds that costs a few pennies or a hot house start and turn it into hundreds of pounds of fresh food. Not only is the cost nearly nothing, the taste is so much better that many have grown their own vegetable gardens for generations only because the food tastes so much better. You don’t have to worry about where the vegetables came from or who else has handled them either, because you will know how truly organic your food really is.

Organic gardening may not be for everyone, but there certainly are ways to deal with the challenges of growing your own vegetables without using poisons and various other dangerous chemicals. The food tastes better and everything is so much better for you. For more information about doing this yourself, the NOW Foods Institute has a whole bunch of videos and other information for their members that you may find helpful. You can consider there educational resources at www.nowfoodsinstitute.com.
