Levels of understanding
It has been suggested to me
by one of our longtime customers that you,
the readers of our monthly newsletter,
may be interested in learning more about protein,
why it’s important to get a
clean alkaline source of protein,
and a bit about the
manufactured plant & animal protein powders
on the market.
The chart above only speaks to
Plant Protein versus Whey Protein,
which, at first glance, seems self explanatory.
***Yet there is a level of awareness and understanding
that has not been addressed.***
Let’s look at the “levels” of protein awareness.
a) Animal Protein…
beef, chicken, fish, pork, seafood, eggs, cheese etc.
Acid-forming in your body.
b) Whey Protein….
though whey itself is a natural by-product of milk
the product on store shelves is definitely
a Manufactured Animal By-product.
both natural & manufactured are
Acid-forming in your body
c) Plant Protein, Acid-forming….
hemp, flax, pea, rice, beans, lentils, most nuts and seeds.
These are plants
BUT
they are Acid-forming in your body.
The list of benefits on the right-hand side
of the chart are still true.
AND
they do not speak to the fact
that these plant proteins
are still having an overall negative, acidic effect
on the health of the cells in your body.
i.e. sickness, dis-ease & aging.
d) Plant Protein, Alkaline-forming…
Alfalfa Leaf, Almonds, Pumpkin seeds.
These overlooked champions
of Alkaline nutrition and health
have been like the proverbial “wallflower” at the prom.
The reason in my estimation….
simply, marketing dollars.
Properly grown and dried Alfalfa will put all other animal or plant proteins to shame!
There is a reason that the name Alfalfa
means
“Father of Foods!!”
The fact that the roots can go down 100 feet to collect up virgin nutrition is astounding!
Remember the value of a food to the human body depends solely on its nutritional content.
And where do naturally grown plants get the nutrients?
From the soil, the water and the air.
You can grow plants in a greenhouse in chemicals
and it can be a perfect looking specimen of the plant,
yet the age old question is…
“What have they been feeding the plant?”
Because whatever chemical cocktail has been fed
to the plant is exactly what you are consuming!!
Therefore if the plant is growing in a toxic soup of pesticides and fertilizers it is toxic to you too.
Thus the caveat,
NOT ALL Alfalfa Leaf powders,
capsules or tablets are created equal.
Neither are tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers etc.
Most Alfalfa products or products containing Alfalfa have come from California.
Suffice it to say that the ground water there
is a toxic soup and therefore I personally
would not consume any Alfalfa grown in that state.
I digress…
Many of you who have spoken to me personally and have heard me say,
” You will never eat 100% Alkaline!”
So why am I bothering to explain all of this to you?
Just because something is a plant,
doesn’t necessarily make it better for you.
Where the plant is grown, how it is grown,
how it is dried, packaged and shipped
make a huge difference.
I hear you…
“Cindy, we don’t have time
to do all the research and track down
the best foods
to nourish our bodies.”
I hear you, really I do.
I intend to live long enough to see
when all the food offered to us on this planet
will be of the uppermost nutritional benefit
to the human body.
It is beginning to happen already.
I look forward to where we don’t have to depend
on labels and certification
to tell us that our food was grown organically.
That will be the norm, one day soon.
It will be so freeing when everything available to us
is for our benefit
and not just a marketing ploy,
or money making machine
at the expense of the average consumer.
In the meantime a little awareness
regarding the food you put in your mouth
can go a long way
in the results you get at the end of the day.
Our passion is to empower you
to live a long, healthy, pain-free, drug-free life.
We offer our insights plus quality food tools
to help you achieve that
then the rest is up to you!!
Get Alkaline = Get Well!
Healthy, Happy Days to You!
