Clearly, there are more benefits to be had in the healthy foods we eat than is obtained from the most common nutrients often associated with them, such as vitamins C, E, beta-carotene, and niacin.

By now, everyone has heard of low-density lipoproteins, very-low-density lipoproteins and high-density lipoproteins. HDL's are the good guys; VLDL'S and LDL's are the bad guys. They are all made by the liver. However, VLDL's and LDL's, like so many miniature oil tankers, deliver the cholesterol into the body's systems, and HDL's clear it out of the system. Furthermore, LDL and HDL are made from different kinds of fat. | | Dietary fibers are usually defined as those vegetable substances which are not digested by the enzymes of the human alimentary tract (15). They are derived from plant cell walls and from the nonstructural polysaccharides in natural foods.

The flour is used to make noodles, one of the most common Japanese foods. Interestingly, among those Japanese social-economic groups most heavily Westernized—the rich and urban—Kelp consumption has been decreasing and all of the above diseases have been increasing. Among the the poor and the rural people, Kelp consumption has been increasing and the disease rates have been decreasing. That's why Kelp occurs in so many of the blends in this book. | | LDL is composed primarily of saturated fats such as butter, bacon fat, beef fat and vegetable oils like coconut and palm oil, and saturated fats made by the liver. HDL is made up mainly of polyunsaturated fats which cannot be manufactured by the body, but must be consumed, such as corn, safflower, soybean and sesame oil. By consuming polyunsaturated (essential) oils and eliminating saturated fat, we reduce the number of oil trucks carrying the cholesterol to the system and increase the amount of HDL, with the net result of keeping serum cholesterol levels within normal limits. |

"I also find that kelp tends to normalize the periods in weakly women, and does much to banish the depression sometimes associated with the appearance of the menses.
"For ovarian disorders, kelp does as much as it accomplishes for weakness of the uterus. Quite often the two troubles go together and what aids one organ directly affects the others. |

Heating a water menstruum permits the more rapid solution of a plant's soluble matter, but a frequently encountered disadvantage inherent with this phenomenon is that the heating process extracts substances which later separate out from the solution upon cooling. |

See book keywords and concepts |  The intangibles, such as animal or vegetable quality, shape, color, aroma, taste, texture, direction of growth, and climate or season of origin have, it is held, nothing to do with the appropriateness of one food or another.
According to the systems approach, however, all the above factors play a role, and we must consider the context in which nutrients appear, as well as their proportion and relationship to one another. When that relationship is altered, the body has to make adjustments that are not always comfortable. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Formulas containing mayapple were summarily dismissed as "vegetable soup" by the American Medical Association. But half a century later, this same traditional usage was vindicated, and two important new drugs, Etoposide and Teniposide, emerged into oncologic practice. You have to wonder what other excellent drugs remain hidden in Western herbs, such as the ones discussed in this book.
Many herbs were examined and rejected in the past. But we must remember that there are new ways of evaluating botanical agents, which can more accurately predict whether or not they would benefit patients. |

Olestra: Hero or Villain?
Olestra is one of the most controversial of the fake fats. It makes great-tasting, low-fat junk food; however, by passing through the digestive tract unabsorbed, it causes diarrhealike symptoms and intestinal gas in some who eat it. It also binds to fats in the digestive tract, including the fat-soluble nutrients, such as vitamins A, D, E, and K. | | A slice of vegetable pizza with a large glass of orange juice will boost energy just as well as a bowl of cereal.

See book keywords and concepts | | The moral viewpoint holds that it is wrong to kill living creatures in order to eat them, since there is enough nutritious vegetable food to be had. The health-oriented viewpoint holds that eating animal protein causes illness because our bodies are not built to process those foods: Our teeth are designed for grinding and chewing, not tearing; our intestines are too long, and meat putrifies during its slow passage through them, causing body odor, indigestion, and illness. |

Pollen—A Geriatric Wonder Food
Some Chinese herbalists suggest a special method for using honey bee .pollen for elderly people whose bodies have been debilitated by many years of inadequate nutrition and ill health. According to the Chinese view, such conditions indicate that the whole organism is out of Yin-Yang balance; blood, glands, and organs are not working in harmony. |

Vitamins are organic compounds (containing carbon and hydrogen) found in all foods, vegetable and animal. Their presence is needed for the smooth metabolism of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, the formation of body tissues, and cellular energy exchanges. Some vitamins can be obtained by bacterial syntheses in the intestines (mostly the B vitamins) or on the skin in the presence of sunlight, as with vitamin D. On the whole, however, vitamins must be obtained from food. | | During the fermentation process, in the presence of salt or a mold culture, microorganisms develop that alter the composition of vegetable or animal foods by increasing the amount of lactic acid present in them. This in turn changes the food's taste and aroma, making them both stronger and more distinctive, and sometimes more sour.
Although there may be some loss of vitamins and water-soluble minerals during pickling and fermenting, the overall influence of fermented foods on our health is quite favorable. | | The only vegetable foods that are acid-forming are cranberries, plums, and prunes. I would like to add raw tomatoes with seeds to that list, as they sometimes provoke acidic reactions, such as mouth sores or bumps on the tongue (well-cooked, seeded, salted tomatoes seem more alkalizing). Sugar and other concentrated sweeteners, starches, grains, flour, fats, and most animal protein foods also create an acid condition upon being metabolized. | | On the other hand, there are people
* Hauschka says that this is because it's harder to convert vegetable protein into human protein, and the extra effort needed is like exercise that develops our inner powers and soul strength. I've noted that the opposite also applies: when people take up meditation, they often find themselves eating less and less animal protein, even if they didn't purposely set out to do so. (However, these observations in no way imply that people who eat meat can't be spiritual. |

FATS FOR FITNESS
In the average American diet, we receive nearly half—that's 45 percent—of our total calories from fat. This has taken its toll in making Americans some of the least nourished and most overweight people in the world. While we should not avoid fat completely, numerous studies have confirmed that a high percentage of fat intake is a huge contributing factor in all kinds of diseases, from breast cancer to heart disease. | | A reminder: I am recommending that you drink water in addition to the fruit and vegetable juices suggested as part of this protocol.
You then need to increase the nutrients, like B complex, vitamin B12, and vitamin C. The amount of vitamin C needed will be different for each person. If you go out in the sun, you need more vitamin C because the sun causes free radical damage. When you've been in a stressful situation, you need more vitamin C, which is very important, as is alhpalipeic acid.
Evening primrose oil nourishes joints and the immune system. | | Amaranth outstrips all other common grains as a source of protein—16 percent as opposed to 10 or 12—and as it is extremely rich in lysine, the amino acid that controls protein absorption, and Methionine, an amino acid missing from most beans, it is more complete than most other vegetable proteins.
Jane Brody, in her Good Food Book, says that the quality of amaranth protein is so good that it exceeds cow's milk in its ability to sustain life, containing as much as 30 percent protein. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Stress and Fat Don't Mix
As if there wasn't enough wrong with high-fat diets, a study from the University of Maryland at College Park reports that high-fat diets, especially vegetable oils, raise stress hormone levels and interfere with the body's ability to calm itself even after the stress is over. Cutting back on fat and adopting a low-fat vegetarian diet lowers Cortisol levels.
Cortisol is secreted from the adrenal glands.
NPY levels increase, while serotonin levels decrease. more

The Chinese advise that fenugreek seeds be used daily in powdered form, adding the powder to soups, broths, vegetable or fruit juices, or sprinkling it over foods. Fenugreek seeds are also available in tablets which may be used instead of the powder. From eight to ten tablets are taken daily.
The Chinese point out that individual needs should be considered. Some people find the powder works best, while others find they get better results by using the tablets. |

Folkloric claims. The health claims for hechima center on cancer prevention and its reputation as an immune booster.
Evidence. Extracts from members of the gourd family (cucurbitaceae plants, including green and yellow squash) may contain one or more of eight distinct but related proteins that have anticancer, antiviral, anti-AIDS, and immune-enhancing properties.37 There are more than twenty studies on hechima's special proteins alone.38
Usage. Hechima is best used as a healthy adjunct to your Okinawa pantry. |
