 "Olive oil, like other plant-based fats have a heating point at which the oil tends to oxidize. Butter, lard and coconut oil are said to be saturated fats but they can be heated to a high temperature for cooking without turning into a trans-fat. However, many of us are averse to cooking with lard, butter or tallow. If you choose to cook with a vegetable-based oil, saute food at a lower temperature to prevent oxidation. Do not re-use heated oils for other cooking projects.
Choose foods in their raw form, such as fruits and vegetables, whole grains, nuts and seeds."- Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.) |
 "MAIMONIDES, JEWISH RABBI, PHILOSOPHER AND MASTER WHOLISTIC PHYSICIAN TO EGYPTIAN SULTAN
The first principle of the Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program to heal diabetes naturally is a prudent diet that we call the Culture of Life anti-diabetogenic diet: organic, plant-source only, live (raw) food, relatively high complex carbohydrate, 15-20 percent (low to moderate) plant-based fats, moderate protein, low glycemic index, low insulin index, high minerals, no refined carbohydrate (especially white flour and white sugar), high fiber, moderate caloric intake, and prepared with love."- Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.) "Instead of a "moderate" diet, the Culture of Life cuisine is a prudent, common-sense diet of extremely low-glycemic, low-insulin-index foods, organic, high mineral, hydrat-ing, live, with no animal or trans fat, 15-20 percent high EFA plant-based fats, high fiber, and thoughtful, prudent food intake. The healing of diabetes at the pandemic level requires the healing of the ecology of the planet and the consciousness of the people. To heal oneself requires the ability to love oneself enough to have the intention to reconnect with the Culture of Life which is our birthright." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.) |
 "Phytosterols are plant-based fats with a chemical structure similar to cholesterol. You may have heard of phytosterols in margarines like Benecol or Take Control. Consumed in sufficient
Nut Butter Wisdom
When buying nut butter, look for brands that don't have any added sugar or fat. The ingredient label should say "nuts" and nothing else, except maybe "salt." Remember that a little goes a long way-around 120 milligrams of sodium per 2 tablespoons usually does the trick!"- Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.) |
 "Consume healthy quantities of plant-based fats and oils, including raw nuts and seeds as well as avocados and even unprocessed, unrefined coconut oil. Coconut oil, in my view, is a healthy oil and does not have the same action in the body as saturated animal fats.
The best oils, of course, are omega-3 oils, and you can find these in flax or Chia seeds (currently my favorite source of omega-3 oils). You can also find omega-3 oils in some animal products including oily fish, salmon, or cod liver oil supplements (highly recommended)."- Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.) "Plant-based proteins and plant-based fats will help stabilize your blood sugar, avoiding the wild blood sugar swings associated with hypoglycemia. Plant-based proteins that I recommend include brown rice protein, which can be purchased as a powder. The manufacturer I recommend is Nutribiotic, and they offer a vegan vanilla rice protein product that's outstanding. I also recommend hemp protein from companies like Nutiva and Ruth's Hemp Foods. Other sources of plant protein are good. The only one I don't recommend is isolated soy protein because of some of the effects of soy protein." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.) "At the same time, start eating healthy, plant-based fats. That includes things like raw nuts, seeds and healthy plant oils like olive oil, avocado oil, or even cocoa oil, which is the fat from chocolate. Make sure you get your oils from plants, and if necessary, if you still need some meat, you can eat oily fish such as salmon in order to get oils from those fish. Just watch out for the heavy metal content of fish or seafood." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.) |
