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.

I haven’t had a chance to really get into this recipe book at this point, or to go through the first half that talks about special diets required for those with particular health concerns, but at first glance it seems to show us that eating healthy natural organic whole foods that are healing foods will both help us heal, and prevent many common ailments. The list of health issues covered in this book include allergies, diabetes, cancer, arthritis, obesity, cancer and heart disease.

If we can help our loved ones avoid such life challenges as diabetes and obesity while at the same time healing or preventing the live threatening diseases like cancer and heart disease, shouldn’t natural organic whole foods be more important to us than going out to eat or enjoying a movie at the theater?

With economic times getting tough for many, and fears sweeping the nation that we are in for a long tough financial future, many are choosing to stop purchasing healthy natural organic whole foods because they are “too expensive”. I do agree that these foods do seem to be more expensive and being careful with spending your money is important.

However, we when we consider natural organic whole foods we must remember that many of tomorrow’s expenses are results of spending choices we make today. If you choose to spend a little more today on natural organic whole foods, it is quite likely that you will be avoiding spending lots more tomorrow with doctor bills and loss of health that perhaps hurts your ability to bring in an income. So don’t step over dollars to pick up dimes. When you take care of your health today with natural organic whole foods, your tomorrow will be brighter because you’ll have more money and also feel better and healthier.

Remember your health is much more precious than you realize and what you eat makes a huge difference on how you heal and even helps prevent many diseases. So go ahead and make the commitment to keep using natural organic whole foods, in the years to come you’ll be thankful you did.
