FROZEN FOOD: IS IT HEALTHY?

Food that is frozen immediately loses most of it nutritional value.

Upon changing the temperature of food, its chemical and anatomical makeup is greatly altered. It can never return to its natural and pure state.

When the food is frozen, it is vulnerable to many sorts of viruses, toxins and poisons during freezing and thawing. Fruits and vegetables, in particular, freeze due to its abundant makeup of water. All the nutrients, vitamins and minerals of fruits and vegetables live in their water content (its like their blood). Upon freezing, those nutrients, vitamins and minerals are experiencing a type of "death." The thawing leaves the fruits and vegetables with very little of anything because the water melting is holding its nutritional power.

Any sort of partially cooked meal that is frozen should never be eaten: regardless of whether or not it is organic, vegan, vegetarian, "just breakfast food", or anything else. That frozen food is stored in a plastic after being partially cooked. It is not possible for the consumer to know the time between putting it in the plastic, freezing and delivery to your local market. Then factor in the time where you buy it and then eat it. It could easily be 3-5 months before an actual frozen meal is eaten (considering the time of cooking, packaging, freezing, and then your consumption). Also, if it is something that is warmed in the oven, all of the frozen water and "things" frozen in the product melt back into the product: all for your consumption. Think about this deeply when you travel internationally and eat food on the plane...

So what to do? Eat freshly prepared food. Simple. Easy. Take the time and energy to prepare your fruits, vegetables or cooked meals. If traveling, pack a meal that suits your appetite. Also, airports are now making an effort to have more freshly prepared foods in the cafes and restaurants before you take-off.

Clean up your food intake. The body is cleaner than the external environment. Make it your life-long project to keep it that way.

PLASTICS AND YOUR FOOD

Plastics are not good for your food. Plastic is made with a slew of chemicals including and not limited to petroleum. Get rid of the plastic. Avoid using it for food storage and avoid using it for eating.

We have a natural tendency to eat food with plastic utensils. It is much better to eat with your hands or pack your own steel utensils or buy wooden ones (which are readily available). Plastic usage can lead to a number of diseases and ailments.

If you are one to store your food in a plastic container of sorts, consider making the switch to using glass or steel storage containers: both of which are more natural.

When buying food contained in plastic, remove it from the plastic as soon as you can and store it in a glass or steel container. Do the same with beverages. In particular, avoid buying water contained in plastic containers. There are a few companies out there now that are bottling water in glass containers. Water is the most pure and abundant liquid on planet Earth. That said, it is very sensitive. In a short time, it absorbs the chemical makeup of the plastic it is stored in.

Plastic is affordable for many companies. Don't let that afforability on their part put your health at a potential risk.

Clean Eating is not supposed to be complicated; but because we live in a complicated society, it is a project.

Together as a people, we shall move in a conscious direction to purify our lives again...

CANNED FOOD: ITS HEALTH AND YOUR HEALTH

Many supermarkets, natural markets, health food stores and food sellers across the board are selling canned goods; it is a viable business and it is an easily sold product to many consumers. Many consumers these days don't make the time to prepare the food that would normally come pre-made in a can. Though it is a harsh reality, humans have come to rely on the producers of such products to help them save time when preparing meals for the family.

However, let it be known, canned foods (organic or not) are not neccessarily good for you. Recent studies have shown that 71 out of 78 canned goods contain a synthetic harmone called BPA; it has been shown to bring about cancers and some other diseases of the body. Read more here:

In general, canned food cannot be good for you. The food is sitting on the shelf sometimes with a purported shelf-life of a year or greater. This is not even considering the time between it being partially cooked and canning. Then there are all sorts of "preservatives, vitamins and types of water" that are used to extend the shelf-life of the product. Is this the sort of food you want in your body? Is this the sort of food you want moving into your blood, into your major organs, into your bodily systems?

Take the time to prepare a clean meal for yourself and your family. I know at times it seems as though a canned vegetable addition to the meal is adequate to fulfill your nutrition requirments. In the long run, you could be jeopardizing the health of you and your family.

Develop patience. Cultivate Love. Prepare with harmony. Your flesh and your food eventually become one.

Enjoy a clean meal...
