In the Kitchen – What are Some of the Best, Healthiest Foods to Have on Hand?
Hippocrates is believed to have said that our food should be our medicine and our medicine should be our food.
As we work to stay healthy and live long lives, this statement cannot be overdone.
What are some of the best foods we can eat as we work to stay healthy? An important component in this statement is that we tend to eat what we keep in our kitchens. So the question isn’t what are some of the best foods to eat but, rather, what are some of the best foods to keep in our kitchen?
Begin with leafy greens: spinach, kale, watercress, and arugula. These leafy jewels help clear our arteries of cholesterol, reduce blood pressure, and lower our risks of cancer.
Cancer fighting greens include broccoli, kale, cabbage, Brussel sprouts.
If we’re concerned about heart disease, some forms of cancer, and immune system power, onions and garlic top the list.
Big cholesterol fighters include nuts.
Yogurt is important for its probiotics, important for digestion. For vegetarians, yogurt is a good source of protein as well. It’s also a fermented product which we don’t get enough of.
Yellow and orange foods strengthen our blood vessels, cartilage, tendons, and ligaments. They also help prevent allergies, inflammation, and strengthen veins and arteries. Yellow and orange foods include oranges, tangerines, lemons, limes, gratefruit, papaya, pineapple, and nectarines.
White and green foods are anti-inflammatory, anti cancer, fight allergies and asthma. Again, think onions and garlic.
Green tea has powerful anti cancer properties. Green tea is believed to be more powerful than Vitamins C and E.
An important concept to remember is that your body is made up of whatever you put in your mouth.
When asked if we eat a healthy diet, the most popular response is usually “Yes.” But, for three days, step back from your diet and look at each food you cook with, serve, and eat as if you had never seen it before. Read the labels. Ask yourself objectively: is this food really good for me? If the answer is “no” or “I’m not sure”, do some research. Eliminate from your diet those foods which are not good for you.
The goal is to not get caught in the trap of eating products manufactured to be eaten which are, in fact, not food. The goal is to eat the food.

Respiratory System: Bottom Line Information, Essential Oils, Foods that Nourish the Respiratory System and Improvements to be Expected from Regular Sessions.
The respiratory system has highly emotional and spiritual facets to it. People dealing with chronic respiratory issues are often grieving. While it’s not necessary for you to know what’s causing the grief, it’s helpful to be aware of the grief process and the part it may be playing in your client partner’s health issues.
Essential Oils Nourishing the Respiratory System Include: eucalyptus radiata, frankincense, German chamomile, lavender, lemon, peppermint, ravensara, Roman chamomile, rose, thyme, and wintergreen.
Foods Nourishing the Respiratory System Include: almonds, apples, apricots, beans, cantaloupe, carrots, chicken soup, crab, decaffeinated coffee, eggs, fish, fresh fruits and vegetables, garlic, hot peppers, lamb, leafy greens, legumes, lemons, low-fat milk, non-fat cheeses, nuts, onions, oysters, papaya, pineapple, pumpkin, salmon, soy, spinach, sweet potatoes, tea, tofu, tomatoes, water, wheat germ, watercress, whole grains, yogurt.
Of the foods in the above list, the following foods are also on Johnny Bowden Ph.D.’s list of the 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth: amonds, apples, apricots, beans, cantaloupe, eggs, fresh fruits and vegetables, garlic, lamb, lentils, lemons, low-fat milk, non-fat cheese, onions, oysters, peppers (hot), pineapple, pumpkin, salmon (wild Alaska), sweet potatoes, tea, watercress, yogurt.
So, you’ve actually got two lists here. The top list is the list of foods nourishing the respiratory system. The second list is those foods on Johnny Bowden’s list. This is a little complicated but worth knowing. Please let me know if you have a problems with the information and how it’s listed.
Improvements to be Expected from Sessions to the Respiratory System:
Congestion and inflammation should be cleared. Asthma can be improved. Breathing should improve when it becomes regulated, slower and deeper. On a spiritual level, this will assist the client partner to live life more fully. Inflammation should be alleviated. Regular sessions help expel mucus.
On a spiritual level, working the respiratory system not only addresses the physical issues, but assists in dealing with the associated processes. People with respiratory issues who are willing to face whatever fears are preventing them from living life to the fullest will be able to benefit more fully from the physical improvements to the respiratory system offered by Reflexology for the Spirit sessions.
Recovery from colds, coughs can be improved.
