Making homemade healthier bread

2012-10-08T05:18:00.000-07:00

The bread also known as sourdough bread because yeast is used as an ingredient to make the dough, is found in natural food stores and those that sell organic products. If you treat this bread, healthy food, without additives or preservatives, made with flour that can be stored in an airtight container for weeks.

The reason is that his rise was induced (from yeast or chemical): this process has been the phytic acid, a substance responsible for the immediate dryness of the bread itself. Even the special bread bakeries should be avoided since it contains lard, olive oil, fats, milk. The industrial bread (packed in medium and long term) that dominate supermarket foods have lots of additives and preservatives that can be harmful to the body.

Some bread, bread type also contain bleaching agents such as ammonia and ethyl alcohol. The prerequisites, to be a bread naturally healthier, is the type of flour used, yeast adopted and, especially, the time between the milling of flour and its use (best be within 48 hours). To grind flour deteriorate rapidly in light, heat or air, thus losing all the nutrients in the grain.

Do you think white bread usually buy in bakeries milled flour is mixed with at least three weeks? Buy the corn kernels and achieve make a bread recipe is the best option, getting a healthy bread, nutritious and filling. Among the breads is the increased consumption of wheat flour.

In shops kamut is also a completely organic bread is made from corn and does not require treatment with pesticides. For other cereals to ensure that the flour that comes with organic certification. It is healthy to incorporate in the daily diet different types of cereals and benefit of all its properties.

In addition, the dietary and health food businesses can find loaves with sesame seeds, sunflower, pumpkin, flax, rich in enzymes and fiber.

The ideal is to vary the type of bread each day, is not addictive and even the taste of the intestine is constantly stimulated to make bread at home (in the oven or on the machine).

Foods that heal sickness

2012-10-01T05:07:00.000-07:00

We continue on the path of responsible caring feeding our health. Did you know that in 1931 a scientist received the Nobel Prize for discovering the primary cause and prevention of cancer? Otto Heinrich Warburg (1883-1970), assure that cancer is the result of a physiological anti food and physiological anti lifestyle.

Lack of oxygen and acidosis are two sides of the same coin, discovered that cancer cells are anaerobic (can live or grow without oxygen) and can not survive with high levels of oxygen.

Healthy cells in a living organism and oxygenated alkali and live cancer cells in one acid only. Cancer is a defense mechanism that has certain body cells to stay alive in an environment devoid of oxygen and acid.

When you eat food, your body digests it and depending on the quality of the nutrients and / or processes to which it was subjected in its preparation, cause a condition of acidity or alkalinity of the body. These values can be measured with a scale called PH, whose levels are in a range of 0 to 14, being 7.4 PH a neutral PH.

I pulled up a list of foods that acidify the body:

Refined sugar and all its derivatives
Meat (all)
Cow's milk and all its derivatives
Refined salt
Refined flour and all its derivatives (pastas, breads, crackers, cookies, etc..)
hydrogenated margarines.
Soft (all)
Caffeine
Alcohol
Snuff
Drugs

Any food cooked, the longer the cooking, the food will be more acidic.

All manufactured products (those containing preservatives, colorants, flavors, stabilizers, etc.).

I approached the body alkalized foods:

All raw fruits and vegetables (some are acidic, but within the body is alkalized, the lemon has a pH of about 2.2, when you eat is alkaline).

Seeds (small if not active properly, you have to grind).

Grains and legumes: the only alkalizing grain is millet, all the others are slightly acidifying. But the sprouts are very alkalizing.

Honey is highly alkalizing.

The chlorophyll in plants (any plant) is highly alkalizing (especially wheatgrass and aloe vera).

The water.

Sodium bicarbonate.

The exercise oxygenates the entire body.

Hippocrates said that, "food be your only medicine and your medicine be food."
