Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

Some good suggestions are in here. I 100% AGREE with Matt (NYCWriter) on what he has said. 

 

~ Make your own food or buy as close to 100% natural/organic as you can. That way, you eliminate the toxic food chain that humans seem to have come to depend on so very much. In a way, its disgusting. 

 

~ Don't bother with Food Pyramids and other bogus dietary statistics, including that utter Bullspit from your Heart Foundation, who say saturated fats are bad for you (http://www.heartfoundation.org.au/healthy-eating/fats/Pages/saturated-fats.aspx).

Yeah, I think they either mean the PROCESSED sh*t we stuff in our pie-holes or are justing BS'ing altogether (Upgraded members might recall the Catalyst series linked to in "Dirty Laundry"). 

 

~ If you want to eat meat, eat whatever suits your preference, but ensure that it is high-quality product from an independent butcher or farmer's market if you can do so. Don't eat more servings larger than the palm of your hand is a good rule though - since meats (particularly processed meats, like Sandwhich Meats and Deli meats) have been linked to bowel cancers (*Not cause!)

 

~ Completely REMOVE most dairy products, sparing yoghurt and butter OUT of your diet. If Human's were meant to be drinking milk as grown adults, Nature (or God) would have provided some means for us to breast-feed. Obviously, this is NOT the case. Milk is laden with antibiotics, hormones and unless you get good stuff, doesn't taste all that flash either.

I've even heard that our dietary foods are a better source of minerals than Cow's Milk - since it is boiled to death to save the old folk without immune systems before shipping. 

 

~ If you are worrying about Cholesterol, DON'T. Another study based on cherry-picked data. My local Pharmacist claims that I'm wrong (Yeah, 3 degrees and still can't see how selective they were in the 7 Countries Study). Its another scam to sell you supposed "Health foods" like Margarine, and Cholesterol-reducing drugs. 

 

On an interesting side note, if you do the research on Margarine, it was actually much nicer when originally conceived by the French Chemist. It was made from a blend of animal fats and skim-milk, I believe. Of course, that became in-ecnonomical, and was dropped in favour of various unstable vegetable oils - including Canola (or "Rapeseed"), the plant with lovely poison in it... 

 
 
Oh yes ...

"If you are worrying about Cholesterol, DON'T. Another study based on cherry-picked data.

98% of the cholesterol in our bodies is that which is MANUFACTURED by our bodies; it does not come from DIETARY cholesterol.

In other words, EATING cholesterol does absolutely nothing to the cholesterol levels in your body.

What does raise your cholesterol, ironically, is the so-called "heart healthy" diet pushed on us for decades by the American Heart Association: high in "healthy" whole grains, refined carbs, and low in fat. Most of the "whole grain" products on the store shelves today aren't really "whole" grains, and are most often made from genetically modified franken-grains. Breakfast cereals are amongst the worst offenders (I cannot believe how General Mills has gotten away with selling its Cheerios as "heart healthy" for so long -- even touting that it LOWERS cholesterol -- one of the most blatant advertising lies today).

All those carbs in your system are eventually turn into sugar by your body, forcing it to produce insulin on a near-constant basis.

Another cholesterol-raising culprit: fake sugars. That sip of "diet" soda tricks your taste buds into thinking it's getting the real thing. But the joke's on YOU; the taste buds alert the brain that "sugar" is on the way, better pump out some insulin to keep those sugar levels in check. The only problem is … there IS no sugar … and now the body has too much insulin. It forces the liver to produce even more cholesterol to flush out the insulin. Eating artificial sweeteners on a regular basis, therefore, puts the body in a perpetual state of insulin imbalance, forcing an overproduction of cholesterol, and eventually causing the body to become diabetic.

Of course, most doctors today are too damn arrogant to admit they've been wrong about all this. My regular doctor refuses to believe that I lowered my own cholesterol from over 200 to 95 not only by diet alone, but with a diet that completely flies in the face of "accepted" medical convention: dozens of eggs a week, WHOLE dairy products, olives and cashews by the fistful, and butter and oil by the spoonful.
 
This seems to echo your thoughts Matt: http://wellnessmama.com/575/how-grains-are-killing-you-slowly/

 

I guess that means I ought to give up Oats and Apple Sauce in the mornings, Brown Rice with Quinoa from my diet. I generally avoid breads - but prefer eating homemade wholemeal/multi-grain bread.

 

Now, I can't recall whether I've stated this before, but I seem to have some sort of "incurable" bout of IBS. Several "samples," blood tests and visits to the GP, and they claim that "nothing is wrong with me." Well, I beg to differ. If I eat lots of fruit, vegetables and eat well, I am "punished" (on "the porcelain throne"). If I eat garbage food - same thing. 

So, instead of just giving me a colonoscopy, they instead want me on "Mebeverine Hydrochloride," (Colese... Actually works, but you need about 3 doses daily till symptoms subside).

I even resorted to the "GAPS" Diet for a while - but could not progress onwards from yoghurt and chicken broth. So I lost 5-10kg's of weight, not that I had much to start with.

 

Do you have any suggestions? At this point, I'm just about ready to give up bothering and just put up with the repercussions...
 
Long Term Life and Health

Kevin @ VintageKitchen, just bear in mind at 29 years of age if you are not overweight it matters little what you eat, NOW, but the cigarets will not only likely keep you from making it past your 60s, but you will be unable to have decent lasting erections by your late 30s, please try to stop smoking now and keep trying until you succeed, Good Luck.
 
Good choice of premade peanut butters-those would be like what you make yourself-If you want crunchy homemade peanut butter process some of the nuts separately in the blender-just run it to crush them.Save those aside-then process the bulk of the nuts to liquid.Then add the crushed nuts and blend very breifly to mix.For those not wanting to make their own peanut butter-the ones shown would be good alternatives.Those are scarce in my area-but the cans of Planters Cocktail peanuts aren't.a 1 pound can does nicely-makes enough peanut butter for about a couple weeks for me.The blender used for peanut butter making MUST have a motor of over 1hp or it will overheat when churning the liquid peanut butter.Blendtecs and VM machines--no problem.Making the peanut butter in my 15A commercial machines is a breeze!takes only a couple minutes.
 
washer111 ...

... let me see what I've had in my files on IBS. It's been a while.

And tolivac -- did you realize we can grind our own peanut butter at Whole Foods? I've tried that, but for some reason it's very dry and I end up having to add extra oil just to make it spreadable.
 
NycWriter-Good you have one of those store peanut butter grinders-haven't seen one of those in many years.-Same with the in store coffee grinders.So,you don't need to use a blender.Sometimes with the blender method you may have to add a little oil to the mixture to make it circulate in the blender.Esp with farm picked nuts.There are LOTS of peanut farms here.
 
Shopped at a supermarket today, where I only shop now and then. Noticed that they had an isle with American products you don't see in other supermarkets. Noticed there was a sticker on a lot of products with a warning that it contained synthetic food colorants, that can influence the activity or attention of children. Goodness!

Also noticed a Betty Crocker carrot cake mix. On the box it says:"with carrot flavored pieces". Had a good laugh over that one! I mean, really!
