Wanted to share this- was looking at a site with great information, www.maketimeforwellness.com . Among other things, they have a recipie for a broth that helps with food cravings.  Just got back from purchasing the ingredients and am about to make some, but wanted to also post the recipe:

1 cup zucchini, 1/2 cup brocolli, 1/2 cup string beans, 1 T parsley, 1 mdium carrot, 1 medium potato, 1 stalk celery, 1 beet, garlic, onion, kelp to taste.

Add the above to 4 cups boiling water and simmer for 20 minutes. Discard vegetables and drink broth between meals or whenever cravings hit.

So often we eat because we are depleted nutritionally. Apparently this broth is rich in potassium, which satisfies our body and therefore curbs the appetite.

You may think that it’s unpatriotic to even consider that Americans could be declining in intelligence.

But alot of first grade teachers say that each year their students are dumber than the year before. (they may not always put it exactly that way, except for on very bad days, so let’s just say they’ve expressed concern that the intelligence of our children seems to be on the decline.) So, what could it be? Maybe our mass opiate, TV? Vaccinations? Additives in our food? Fluride in our water? 

All of the above? Or is this just crazy talk?

 Here’s one item that made me think about this topic -   CLICK HERE

If you’ve got any further information or insight on the possible dumbing down of America, and can share it with our group by emailing info to bethinwithin@gmail.com OR posting under comments on this blog, I’ll send you a FREE herbal detox body wrap!

Thoughts and feelings are living forces. That means you have a treasure chest, your mind and emotions, that you may be mis-using.

We are vibrating organisms, and thoughts have different vibrations. The faster, or higher, your vibration, the more power you have to create the life you desire.

So what happens if you complain all the time? What if you keep saying “I’m so fat” or “I’m so broke” etc etc? Well,  negativity is a low vibration. Your vibration creates your world. What you talk and think about is what you pull out of your treasure chest. Get it?

Can you change the  negative “self-talk” you’ve probably done all your life ? Sure, but it will take time. Most of us have been beating ourselves up for so long that we aren’t even aware we’re doing it.  But if you can start to appreciate your life as it is, the reward you will experience for this shift in thinking is beyond description in this short post.

The highest vibration is  gratitude. CLICK HERE and you may do some soul searching 

I know I did.

First, we can refuse to buy the foods that contain MSG. Save yourself the trouble of reading labels- there are at least 40 different names for MSG. Just stick to whole, unprocessed foods, or try to eat out in restaurants that offer whole foods. (Next trip I’m going to plan ahead, maybe pack a cooler.)

Have been enjoying smoothies for breakfast but realized the fruit is too much for me- my appetite goes crazy the rest of the day.  That’s because fructose, even the natural in fruit, can make some peoples’ pancreas (like mine) produce too much insulin.

 Too much insulin makes the body think it’s in a famine. As a result your appetite can go out of control. Then  more of what you eat is stored in the fat layer to protect against the “coming famine”.

It seems I need protein first thing every morning, then maybe a smoothie later with more vegetables than fruits. I need to limit myself to  just one fruit a day. Many of you could be trying to slim down by eating more fruit, and having a similar experience, so that’s why I’m sharing this info.

So, I was looking into some healthy proteins, particularly soy, to start the day with. What I learned is that many of the so-called “natural” soy products are bathed in something called HEXANE.

This seems to be a great  joke played on those who are trying to find healthy alternatives to meat.

I’m not laughing, though. You might not think it’s too funny either, once you learn about hexane. CLICK HERE

Soy is a great food, when it’s processed without hexane. Problem is, manufactuers seem to be willing to do anything and everything to our food if it widens their profit margin.

Spread the word!
