Probiotic Ginger and Lemon Tea Chicken Recipe

Probiotic Ginger & Lemon Tea Chicken Served with Rice Noodles

By Cyndi Morel DuPree

The video

Delicious healthy and inexpensive meal in 30mintues.

All the ingredients are to taste. For this particular meal I used the whole bag of the Tyson's grilled and ready chicken and half of the bag of rice noodles. I used about 1/2 a cup of water, 2 table spoons of agave, one pack of tea, 1/4 lemon juice, two table spoons of extra virgin olive oil, and a table spoon of sesame seeds. I sprinkled the pink salt salt and garlic to taste.

When using raw organic chicken or any other meat the meal takes 5-10 minutes longer. To safe time you can start cooking the meat on low while you make your sauce.

Quinoa is a grain crop used for its seeds. It is delicious and extremely healthy.

Quinoa is gluten free. Quinoa is high in protein and fiber! It contains a lot of nutrients.

Forbes names Quinoa a superfood and it notes 7 important the reason why.

There are many dishes that use Quinoa. The the simplest is to use it as a rice or potato replacement.

The Truth About Salt: Salt and the Human Body

Salt And The Human Body

By: Cyndi M. DuPree

What is salt?

Salt (Sodium Chloride) is composed of the elements Sodium and Chloride. It is the chemical compound NaCl.

The functions of salt in the body:

Salt is a hard worker and has many essential jobs in the human body. Some of it's functions are;

-Retains water

-Regulates the body's PH balance.

-Helps the body use vitamins and nutrients.

Not all salts are alike:

There are many different types of salt. Salt can be found around the world with subtle differences.

White table salt is the least expensive salt. In the process of making table salt the beneficial nutrients are lost. This is the type of salt everyone should avoid. My favorite salts include: Himalayan salt, Kosher salt, and Sel Gros (large coarse sea salt).

They say Salt is bad for your health.

The miscomception of consuming salt.

If salt is essential to our health.... Why are we constantly told to stay away from salty foods?

The over consumption of salt is responsible for serious medical conditions that lead to organ failure. The daily recomended amount of salt can easily be consumed through fruits and vegtables. This makes it unessary and dangerous to add more salt.

Salt in Senegal makes bright pink bodies of water.

Being a GMU Alumni I have to mention that George Mason University has semester abroad to Sengal.

Using Food as Energy Medicine By author Heidi DuPree.

Using Food as Energy Medicine

This guest post is written by Heidi DuPree, RN, CTN, holistic nurse, Certified Traditional Naturopath, and energy healing therapist athttp://HeidiDuPree.com. She is also the author of the award-winning book, “The Other Medicine…That Really Works: How Energy Medicine Can Help You Heal In Body, Mind, and Spirit,” and a transformational healing blogger at You, Me, and My DuPree Knee.

I think most people are aware that eating raw food is “good” for you, but may not realize why. As our Western system of healthcare is based on the premise that the body runs of biochemistry, you may think raw food is good for you because it improves biochemistry, and that certainly is a factor. But we now know that it is energy that initiates the biochemical processes in the body.

Good Vibrations

The truth is, health is a reflection of the vibrational frequency of your energy systems. Poor health indicates a state of lowered frequency. Good health indicates a state of higherfrequency. One of the ways to improve health using energy medicine is to introduce a high vibrational substance into the energy systems of a person with compromised health -- to raisetheir frequency. This can be accomplished through such means as homeopathy, flower essences, essential oils, and food. Simply put, raw foods are good for you because they have a high vibrational frequency.

“Live” versus “Dead” Food

Processed foods have little to no vibrational frequency and are a drain on body resources because they lack the energy required to digest them. The digestive enzymes inherent to raw food are destroyed during processing methods such as canning and pasteurization. These “dead” foods include processed cow’s milk, juice, baby formula, cooked meats, coffee, tea, chocolate, white bread, white flour, white sugar, margarine, jam, and alcohol.

Unprocessed foods have a high frequency. These would include raw fruits,vegetables, and juices, sprouted seeds, and raw cow’s milk and human milk. These foods are “alive” in that their nutritional components, antioxidants, and enzymatic activity are intact. Their high frequency Unprocessed foods have a high frequency. These would include raw fruits,vegetables, and juices, sprouted seeds, and raw cow’s milk and human milk. These foods are “alive” in that their nutritional components, antioxidants, and enzymatic activity are intact. Their high frequency produces a healing physiological response in the body – maintaining proper body pH and promoting detoxification.

Organic food has a high frequency as well. Below is an unaltered picture a client sent to me taken while she was holding a plate of organic food at a farmers market. This picture is completely unaltered, and you can actually see energy emanating from the plate!

When we decrease our consumption of processed food and add more raw and organic food to our diet to raise our energetic frequencies and improve our health, food becomes medicine...energy medicine.

Thank you Heidi DuPree for your wonderful post.

Stay healthy,
