Our Body’s Relationship
With Foods
By Michele Avanti

The human body is one of the most amazing inventions of creation. It has everything you could want in a physical body. It is constantly working toward homeostasis or balance in order to keep itself ready to perform any task the soul driver requires.

The body will always respond to its controller, the mind. The mind gives the directive and the cells follow it. This, by the way, is not the conscious mind, but rather the subconscious mind.

We have encumbered our bodies through a variety of mental, emotional, tribal, cultural, societal, national and international agreements, which include cooked foods, sugary liquids and environmental hazards of every kind. We fill them with a variety of molecular structures that they do not need, and bombard them with waves, sounds, and fumes that the body must find a way to evacuate and re-balance.

How does the body tell if something is good for it?

Kinesiology is one way. To do this, first bring yourself to a clear, balanced state. Take a few deep breaths, ask the body to release any negativity or bias and open yourself to welcome truth for the health of your cellular universe. Then take the object, food, or a piece of paper upon which you have written the name of the item, and hold it gently to your heart. Within an instant, our body will respond. It may move forward or back. It may be a very slight or very large movement. Back means stay away, forward means go for it. It is just that simple.

There are many things in the American diet that contribute to dis-ease…foods that most people think are completely safe. Here are some really important things we need to remove from our homes and lives to avoid illness.

Soybeans: Soybeans in any form, except fermented. Make sure it is organic, because GMO soybeans are not healthy.

Soy is in almost every mayonnaise, salad dressing, dip, and oil based condiments. Most protein bars include soy protein. Nearly every frozen breaded product, as well as most pastry products, pies, pie crusts, cookies, crackers, and many breads including artisan breads have soy products.

If the label says hydrolyzed (this one includes MSG, which does a number on brain neurons) or isolated protein solids, that is soy.

Chocolate: Did you know nearly every single bar of chocolate contains lecithin made from soybeans. Not only is soy not good for you, it contains a high level of sodium.

Growth Hormones in meats and dairy.

You have to buy food carefully to make sure you are not getting growth hormones in these: butter, milk, cream cheese, cottage cheese, yogurt, as well as nearly every hamburger, taco, and pizza in this nation.

Meat must be hormone free. Buy organic. Look at the labels, if the meat does not have a statement indicating it is antibiotic and hormone free, don’t buy it. All dairy products should say this on the label. That means eating out at fast food places is simply not an option.

There are some quality yogurts in the market like Brown Cow, that pledge to be Hormone Free

A major offender is BPA - It’s a chemical that comes from plastic bottles and seeps into the liquid. Nearly every water bottle in America transports BPA into that nice clean water we buy. If it’s not in glass or states it’s BPA free, don’t drink it.

Another offender is really three different ingredients often seen together in products. They are Propylene Glycol (PG), Polyethylene glycol (PEG), and Parabens.

These are found in nearly every product in your bathroom or dressing room; from deodorant and mouthwash, to shampoo and makeup. People are putting these awful chemicals into their bodies by ingesting them or through the largest organ of the body, their skin.

Look for labels that say: “Propylene Glycol & Paraben Free”
Dr. Hulda Clark wrote a book titled: The Cure For All Cancers. She worked with thousands of people, and noted the dangers of these chemicals.

According to OSHA, there are at least 880 compound variations of chemi-cals harmful to the human nervous system which are used in personal care products, cosmetics, and perfumes.

Chlorine has always been identified as a poison, yet everyday across America, people are ingesting it, inhaling its fumes, or using it on their skin.

• Commercial potato chip manufacturers remove potato skins in a chlorine bath.

• All ground beef used in fast food has been washed with chlorine.

• All white flour products made from ‘bleached’ flour contain chlorine.

• Almost every paper product in this country from napkins and baby wipes to
toilet paper has been bleached.

There is one more item most people never consider, shower or bath water. Unless you have a water purification system for your entire home, or filters at every faucet, you are bathing in chlorinated water. The water used is usually hot, so your pores are open and it is soaked up by the largest organ of your body, your skin. An easy fix is to buy a shower filter, and when you take a bath fill your tub through it.

I hope this has been revealing and helpful. And one more thing…

Remember to bless and be grateful for what you eat. Change the frequencies and rebalance the energy content of the food you ingest…as frequency is everything.

Take your time and start becoming aware of your surroundings. Bless every- where you go and at the same time, consider how your body responds to the environment around you.

If you notice you become lethargic in certain places, or get headaches or start sneezing or sniffling, then your body may be experiencing an environmental discomfort. Pay attention to these things and work towards greater harmony with your environment. Sometimes a simple thing like a flower essence or rescue remedy will solve the issue.

Since writing this article, I have been asked to add names of products that are good for us. There are lots more today than ever before, some excellent companies include: Hain, Nature’s Gate, Umpqua Dairy, Trader Joe’s dairy products, Avalon Organics, Kashi, Muir Glen, Jason Organics, Amy’s, Nancy’s Yogurts…just to name a few.
