A Guide to Healthy Eating and Living

Why Eat Healthy?

Do you want to go through life feeling tired, needing a nap after you've eaten,

overweight, bloated and overfull, nauseous, with intestinal gas, cramps or pains

in your stomach, belching after you've eaten, with heartburn, constipation, foul

stools, dull and slow thinking, depressed, highly emotional, and so forth? If

not then it's time to take a good look at what you're eating and not eating, how

you're combining what you're eating and what you are drinking. In so many ways

we are deeply affected on many levels by what we eat. What we eat can make the

difference between really enjoying a day or dragging ourselves through a day

without any sense of joy or fun.

What we eat affects us physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. It's

not easy to have a loving and caring attitude when feeling fatigued, bloated,

buzzing around from a sugar high, or just feeling rather down and ill and not

knowing why.

Why Foods Affect Us Now That Never Bothered Us Before:

In my Vibrational Healing practice, I have found that the majority of people who

come to me have over the years become infected with a variety of invaders that

can include parasites, candida overgrowth, mould, infectious bacteria, viruses,

chemical and metal poisons and many other foreign toxins in their bodies. To

learn more about how to rid yourself of these invaders, please read all about a

Vibrational Assessment and Choming Essences at www.mkprojects.com.

One of the major effects of these invaders is a high degree of difficulty in

digesting many foods. Some practitioners call these food sensitivities, others

call it a leaky gut syndrome, I call it digestive food sensitivities. All it

means is that when you eat certain foods you will experience many types of

symptoms including the need to sleep, fatigue, intestinal gas, cramps etc. These

symptoms are indicative that you are having difficulty in digesting certain

foods.

Do Foods Have the Same Nutritional Value Today?

I personally do not believe that the meat, vegetables, fruits, grains, nuts,

dairy products etc., have the same nutritional value as the food we ate twenty

or even ten years ago. Farming today is highly technical and is based on

chemical fertilizers to maximize yield and profit. This means that the soil is

not worked in a manner that keeps it rich and full of nutrients.

In organic food farming or traditional farming practices, the soil maintains its

richness in nutrients and minerals through the rotation of crops, and other

farming practices that allow the soil to regenerate and re-mineralize itself.

This maintains the nutritional content of the soil.

When two, three or four crops are grown with chemical fertilizers, the soil

loses its balance and overall nutrition, and the foods grown in that soil cannot

provide people with the nutritional value they need to stay healthy. The fooler

is that the food looks so pretty, shiny, healthy and good. So often it is

tasteless, and more important, it's lacking in the minerals and nutrients we

need to stay healthy.

Vitamin and Mineral Supplements

Because the food being eaten today is so often lacking in the minerals and

vitamins required for vibrant health, I strongly recommend that everyone take

vitamin and mineral supplements on a daily basis. Minerals need to be chelated

or citrate, a treatment that ensures they are easily absorbed directly into the

blood stream rather than being flushed out with body fluids.

Major studies have been conducted that link many mental illnesses to mineral and

vitamin deficiencies. Some of the results from supplementation are quite

promising. This only reinforces the need to carefully review the need for daily

supplementation of vitamins and minerals.

Please go to a reputable health food store to purchase your vitamin and mineral

supplements. The quality of vitamins is very important and quality varies

greatly between different brands. Ask about the absorption of the vitamins and

minerals. Different treatments can make a big difference in the body's ability

to absorb the supplement. For example, minerals that are chelated or citrate go

directly into the blood stream and are absorbed more easily. Vitamin C buffered

with bioflavonoids, is absorbed more easily by the body.

Techniques such as dowsing with a pendulum or muscle testing can easily identify

if you are deficient in minerals and vitamins as well as the daily amounts of

supplements you need to take.

Magnesium: I'd like to make a special note regarding this mineral. A number of

studies have been conducted that have come to similar conclusions that much

depression being experienced today is the direct cause of a magnesium

deficiency. The results of these studies can be found on the Internet. If you

tend to suffer from depression, have a dowser or kinesiologist check you for

magnesium deficiency and have them identify the amount you need to take on a

daily basis. It's important to ensure you are taking the right amount and that

it is chelated or citrate. There are many causes of depression, but a magnesium

deficiency is one major cause that needs to be considered.

Sugar Consumption Has Serious Effects on Your Health:

The books " The Sugar Blues " by Duffy and " Get the Sugar Out: 501 Simple

ways to Cut the Sugar in Any Diet " by Ann Louise Gittleman describe in detail

the effects sugar can have on your physical, intellectual and emotional well

being.

So many of our everyday foods contain substantial amounts of sugar. Just look at

the content of all soft drinks, ketchup, ice cream, donuts, cakes, cookies,

alcoholic beverages, chocolate, etc. Most North Americans eat a lot of sugar

each day. It has been stated by many that many North Americans and Europeans

have now developed a strong addiction to sweetness.

The food we eat today is shipped all over the world and is often quite old by

the time we purchase it in the store. When food gets old the natural sugar in

the food turns to starch and the food then looses its good taste. We then add

sugar to give this food the flavor it would have had if we had been able to eat

it when it was fresh.

The more sugar you eat the more you need to eat to taste the same level of

sweetness. Just be highly aware the next time you eat ice cream. Notice how

sweet that first spoon or two tastes. Then notice how the subsequent spoons just

don't have the same level of taste or sweetness, as if your taste buds have

become numb to the taste of the sugar. The more sugar you eat, the more you need

to eat to keep tasting the sweetness. That is part of the addiction of sugar.

The increased energy boost is another part of the addiction of sugar. The

increase in short-term energy leads to a real let down, increased fatigue, and

depression in the medium and long term.

Healthy eating means eliminating foods that are made with refined white and

brown sugar from your diet. We do need sweet treats occasionally. Desserts made

with maple syrup or honey, both natural products, can easily satisfy that

craving for sweetness without setting up the addiction for sweetness.

Sugar Cravings

It seems the more sugar you eat the more sugar you seem to need to eat.

Developing a taste for sugar can lead to frequently craving more and more sweet

foods and drinks.

Sugar cravings can also be a symptom for parasite and worm infestation as well

as candida overgrowth. These types of invaders feed on sugar and actually set up

a craving that demands satisfaction. And the cravings they set up are very very

strong.

A client recently told me the following story. For the past thirty odd years she

has indulged what she called was her " sweet tooth " and had to have at least two

or three chocolate bars and other sweets every day. Her office drawer and her

refrigerator always contained chocolate bars. After two months on an elimination

and detoxification program with Choming Essences to eliminate her parasites,

worms and candida overgrowth, (for information and articles see

www.mkprojects.com ) she completely lost her craving for sweets. She is

absolutely shocked to realize that her cravings were not emotionally based, a

sign of weak character, or a lack of self-discipline.

We judge ourselves so harshly at times when we indulge this " sweet tooth " . A

deficiency in Vitamin C or other vitamins can be the cause of a craving for

sugar. A craving for sugar can be caused by emotional factors, addictive

behavior, difficulties with insulin, and many other causes. Sometimes the cause

is parasites, worms, candida overgrowth, or certain vitamin deficiencies. It's

important to slowly identify the cause of your cravings so you can deal with

whatever is causing you to eat sugar on a daily basis.

Potential Disorders Linked to Sugar

Sugar today is implicated in many physical, mental and emotional disorders

including hyperactivity in children and adults, increased aggression and

violence, depression, inability to think clearly and concentrate, increased

blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, nutrient deficiency, heart disease, cancer,

many serious illnesses and conditions.

Candida Overgrowth and Healthy Eating:

Many good books have been written on the special diets that you must follow in

support of eliminating a candida fungus overgrowth. It often includes the

elimination of wheat products, all yeast products, and all sugars, all fruits,

both fresh and canned and frozen. The reason these need to be eliminated is

because these foods feed the candida fungus helping it grow and become deeper

and stronger. All fungus has roots and candida overgrowth also puts down roots.

These foods will feed these roots as well as the fungus itself. So if you have

candida overgrowth, healthy eating means eliminating many foods from your diet.

Parasites, Viruses, Infectious Bacteria and Health Eating:

All invaders are fed by basically the same foods that feed candida overgrowth.

And so that means eliminating these foods groups while the invaders are being

eliminated. Most individuals who have these invaders are found to have a lot of

difficulty digesting wheat products, most dairy products, foods made with yeast

or any fermentation process, fresh and canned and frozen fruits, and the

majority of sugar products, especially anything made with white or brown refined

sugars. The elimination of these foods requires major dietary changes that are

normally implemented slowly and gradually. This is a drastic change in eating

and overall living.

Digestive Food Sensitivity to Wheat and Dairy Products:

Many individuals today have developed a strong digestive sensitivity to wheat

and dairy products and are unable to digest these foods easily anymore. There

appear to be a number of reasons for these digestive sensitivities but the

causes are not yet totally clear.

One of the major factors is the presence of parasites, worms, infectious

bacteria and candida overgrowths in so many people today. These invaders dump

many toxins into the body and blood stream daily. This affects all organs and

systems as well as the chemical makeup within the body.

To feel healthy you need to know whether you are digestively sensitive to wheat

products or dairy products. If you are sensitive and cannot digest these foods

easily you need to eliminate them from your diet. A few of the key symptoms to

watch out for are: needing to sleep after you have eaten; heartburn; many types

of intestinal problems; spitting up mucous after eating; mental dullness; poor

memory; wide swings in emotions; regular constipation.

Someone experienced in using a pendulum or who does muscle testing can let you

know quite easily. If you do read positive it's important to eliminate these

foods from your diets. A Vibrational Assessment ( www.mkprojects.com) will tell

you if you have difficulty digesting major groups of food.

Health Shops today offer many alternatives. You can purchase pasta that is made

from brown rice or other grains. This pasta tastes the same as pasta made from

wheat and comes as spaghetti or in many novelty pasta shapes. Breads, crackers,

cookies, and many other foods are made from other flours, e.g. spelt flour, as a

replacement for bread or pasta made from wheat.

Many alternatives exist for dairy products. You can purchase goat milk, goat

cheese, and other dairy type of products made from soy beans. These will help

you fill the voids in your diet when you remove foods you can no longer digest.

Protein Deficiency:

One of the readings I provide as part of a Vibrational Assessment is to identify

if a protein deficiency exists. Many people today are deficient in protein, even

when these individuals eat meat on a daily basis. It's difficult to fully

understand the cause of this deficiency. Perhaps the protein from animals is not

the same as it was many years ago.

Another cause of protein deficiency is the difficulty many individuals

experience in not being able to absorb protein as well as other nutrients into

their systems. This absorptive problem is often caused by toxins in the system

which eventually block the absorptive capacity. Absorptive difficulties can be

resolved through thorough detoxification and cleansing and rebalancing of

systems.

I strongly suggest that everyone begin their day with a protein drink, either

soy based or rice based. I find the vanilla flavors to be the best but a variety

of choices are available in most health food stores. After two or three months

the deficiency in protein tends to disappear with this type of supplementation.

A healthy protein level supports improved physical strength and subsequent

emotional and mental strength.

Salt and Salt Cravings:

Salt is a chemical compound that circulates in the blood and tissue fluids of

humans and animals. We all need a good balance of sodium in our bodies. But it's

important to consume the right type of salt and to understand the difference in

various types of salt.

Natural salt that is harvested properly contains more than 80 minerals, trace

minerals and nutrients that are essential to healthy and vibrant health. Refined

white salt is processed and the majority of minerals are processed out of the

white iodized table salt that most people use today. Many of the sea salts being

sold today are refined, have lost most of their mineral and nutrient values

through the processing, and have relatively little value, the same as refined

white salt.

Magnificent sea salts rich in natural minerals and nutrients can be purchased

from a small company in British Columbia called Celtic Sea Salts. They can be

reached toll free at 877-477-5123. The salt they provide is gray in color and

has such a rich salt taste, so different from other sea salts. This salt

contains the natural mineral, trace minerals and nutrients of natural salt.

If you have a craving for salt, take time to be tested for mineral deficiencies

since a salt craving can be one of the indicators of mineral deficiencies. Salt

cravings are also associated with low energy, the inability to taste food

properly, PMS, adrenal exhaustion, and diabetes. If you constantly crave food

you need to investigate all possible causes. However, a major cause that often

is overlooked is mineral deficiencies.

Food Combining:

Since the 1930's the linkage between health and eating different combinations of

types of food has been discussed and argued. There are those who dismiss it and

say it doesn't matter what you eat and combine during a meal, that all

combinations are equally good. Others strongly believe that since different

foods require different digestive processes and enzymes, that large stresses are

placed on digestive systems when we combine certain types of foods. I agree with

this latter group that only certain foods should be eaten at the same time. The

following is a summary of key foods in major groupings of foods for health

combining.

Starchy Foods

Low Starch Veggies

High Protein Foods

Grains

asparagus

beans

Pastas

broccoli

beef

Rice

brussel sprouts

poultry

Carrot

cabbage

pork

Potatoe

cauliflower

lamb

Eggplant

celery

all meats

Avacado

cucumber

seafood

Corn

green beans

seeds

Turnip

leeks

nuts

Squash

leafy greens

dairy products

Beet

onions

Peppers

Parsley

Radishes

Tomatoes

Low starch foods can be easily digested with either high starch vegetables or

high protein foods. However high starch foods should not be eaten with high

protein foods. This means that meat should not be eaten with potatoes or fish

should not be eaten with rice.

Fruits should be eaten as a separate meal, without foods from the other food

groups, or at least one and a half hour before or after a meal is completed.

They should not be eaten with high starch foods or with high protein foods.

Organically Grown Foods

Whenever possible, eat organic foods including all types of meat, fish, grain

products, vegetables, pastas, beans, dairy products, whatever is possible in

fresh, canned and frozen foods. Organic foods are not full of chemicals from

pesticides and fertilizers but are grown in soil rich with minerals and

nutrients. This helps to keep your body free of chemical toxins as well as

providing you with many minerals and nutrients.

Whenever possible, find the organic farmers market that meets on a Saturday

morning and you'll be delighted to find such a wide variety of farmers and

products. You'll find pure honey, croissants, many types of breads, all types of

vegetables, and many types of meats, even sausages. Sometimes you have to hunt a

little to find these markets, but once you do you'll keep going back. The food

tastes so much richer. The carrots and potatoes are denser. Be good to yourself

and go and find the organic farmer's market in your area. These are real farmers

and its real and healthy food.

Major grocers are now beginning to carry a wide variety of organic foods today.

You can find organic milk, butter, cheeses, cereals, meats, canned fruits, all

types of vegetables, nuts, beans, soups, certain fruits, and so many different

types of foods. You can also find organic personal products, makeup and hair

products, as well as home cleaning products.

Clean and Vibrant Drinking Water

I am a Canadian living in our capital city of Ottawa. Canada's difficulty in

providing its citizens with clean and healthy drinking water is becoming a

national disgrace for Canadians. Canada possesses nearly 10% of the worlds

renewable fresh water and is experiencing major crises resulting from water

contaminated with parasites, bacteria, chemicals and metals. In the past year

thousands of communities across Canada have had to issue boil-water advisories,

a sign that water contamination is making the water dangerous for human

consumption. It's a national disgrace that a country with massive fresh water

supplies and a population of only 30 million is unable to guarantee its citizens

clean and healthy drinking water.

An essential factor to healthy water is the vibration of that water. Many years

ago we would drink water that came from rivers. These rivers flowed and the

process of flowing provided water with a certain level of vibration. Today the

vibration of drinking water coming out of a tap is zero. That's the result of

chemicals and storage in containers.

Today water sits in metal storage tanks for long periods of time, is filled with

chemicals or treated with ultra-violet treatments to help eliminate parasites,

viruses and bacteria, is filtered to help eliminate dangerous metals and

chemicals, and is finally sent to our homes through pipes that are often old and

corroded inside. This type of water does not contribute to vibrant health, and

that is a major under-statement.

There are many filtering systems available to help screen out contaminants. But

it's essential to change the filter very regularly. There are a number of ways

you can provide drinking water with a good rate of vibration. If you know how to

run energy, just run some energy into the water for about 30 seconds.

A man called Slim Spurling from the United States makes what he calls Life Light

Rings that I have used for the past year. These rings are made so that anything

you place within the ring becomes highly energized. You can find information

about these rings at www.4dshift.com/products/slim.htm . They provide a high

rate of vibration and can energize food, water, anything you place within the

ring. There is one caution regarding these rings. They need to be used in

moderation and you should drink only 2 glasses of water each day energized

within these coils.

Coffee, Tea, and Other Drinks

Purists will tell you they never drink anything with caffeine. I believe that

you need to limit carefully the caffeine you consume, but a little does not do

any serious harm. There are many organic teas available today, both for hot

drinks as well as iced drinks in the summer time. You can find many delicious

types of organic coffees that are also delicious either hot or cold.

I strongly suggest you avoid completely all colas and carbonated drinks. They

are filled with so much sugar and other chemical ingredients that it's best to

eliminate them completely from your diet and that of your children. Organic soda

drinks are available, and at a reasonable price.

Eating With Gratitude and Relaxation

You can have the highest quality of organic food, the healthiest water from a

fresh spring in the mountains. We need to eat and drink this nourishment in love

and gratitude to Mother Earth for the bounty she provides us with. We need to be

relaxed when we eat.

Before you begin to eat, take a moment and give thanks to the Universe for all

we have been given. We are nourished in so many ways; Mother Earth shares her

riches so willingly. We need to show our love and gratitude.

Father Sun sends the powerful rays of energy to Mother earth so plants and

animals can grow and feed us. It energizes the water we drink. It energizes the

quartz in Mother earth, the foundation of so many new technologies today that

support our everyday needs. Mother Moon supports the inner rhythms within nature

so that they can thrive and reproduce. She is so nurturing. The planet Venus

sends us her energies of love. Before each meal, take the time to thank Mother

earth and all the planets in our solar system for caring for us so much and

giving us what we need to flourish and develop.

Before eating, take time to relax yourself. Food is more easily digested when

you are physically, emotionally and intellectually relaxed. Try to avoid

discussing subjects that make you anxious, angry or just frustrated. Love

yourself and eat within a positive environment.

Healthy Eating and a Healthy Sex Drive

There is a direct relationship between a healthy sex drive and what you eat and

drink. Eating large amounts of sugar can seriously affect your sex drive. My

experience shows that a lower rate of vibration also means a highly reduced sex

drive. So many men and women wonder, especially in their mid-forties why their

sex drive seems to have disappeared and are often too embarrassed to ask about

it.

As invaders such as parasites, worms, viruses, and candida overgrowth are

eliminated, the rate of vibration increases within a person and a healthy sex

drive returns. To learn more about vibrational healing, read other articles at

www.mkprojects.com . The presence of candida overgrowth, parasites, viruses and

other invaders can seriously reduce your sex drive.

Healthy Living Habits

We need to do many other things other than eating healthy to ensure we have

vibrant and energetic health. We need to exercise and have regular physical

activity; we need to detoxify our systems regularly; we need a good balance of

work, play and sleep; we need loving and caring friends in our lives; we need to

be intellectually stimulated on a regular basis; we need to work with our

emotions and learn how to process out certain emotions; we need to grieve our

losses, large and small; we need to we need to have a daily contact with our

Creator or whoever we believe in as our Higher Divine Being; we need to pray and

meditate; we need to continue learning and growing and moving towards our

highest consciousness. We need all these elements in our lives whether we are

retired, at home bringing up children, working outside of the home, a student,

disabled, or in any state of life.

A Living Habit That Really Hurts Us - Smoking

Every living person, tree, flower, rock, and animal, is surrounded by an energy

field called an aura. It is an electro-magnetic field. There are many books

today that provide a great deal of information about our auras. We also have

chakras, that are electro-magnetic, that I liken to energy transformers. They

take the energy from our auras and transform it and move it through our bodies

through what is called the meridian system.

Smoking is one of the most destructive things we can do to affect our auras. And

this refers to smoking of anything including cigarettes, marijuana, hashish, or

whatever else is being smoked today. Smoking systematically weakens and breaks

down our auras, eventually creating holes in them. Our energy leaks out of these

holes so that we feel weak and tired. External negative energies can easily

penetrate a weak aura or an aura with holes in it. Regular exposure to second

hand smoke is equally damaging to our auras.

We cannot experience vibrant and energetic health regardless what we eat when we

smoke or are around anyone who smokes. It's an important element of good health.

The Benefits of Healthy Eating and Living

The benefits of healthy eating are endless but the major benefit is vibrant and

energetic HEALTH. Without healthy eating you cannot feel healthy. Eating healthy

will give you increased energy; increased vitality; a revitalized sex life;

clearer thinking; you will sleep more deeply and quietly, require less sleep,

and feel rested when you wake up; some of your cravings may disappear making you

feel more in control; depression can ease; intestinal difficulties can lessen;

your emotional extremes can disappear.

You will live longer and enjoy your life more fully. Healthy eating is not going

to solve all the problems you might have, but it's an essential element to

healthy and happy living.
