We saw an interesting article about starvation in which the comment was
made that there are really two types of starvation. One, of course, is
caused by too little or no food at all. But there is another type of
starvation caused by serious malnutrition, and even though the U.S. is
the fattest nation on the planet, our bodies are starved for important
nutrients and enzymes. It’s partly why we’re so fat, because we keep
eating and eating, but we’re eating highly processed, cooked foods that
have the essential components burned out of them. Cooking removes up to
80% of food’s important amino acids, fibers and vitamins.

Food that is grown or raised without chemical pesticides or chemical
fertilizers is called “organic.” We’ve become so accustomed to getting
by with foods that have been grown with fertilizers and that contain
harmful toxins, that we’ve forgotten what it’s like to feel truly
“well.” We don’t know how good we can really feel.

Eating raw foods is a way to give your body some of the nutrition it
desperately needs. Many of us are at least slightly overweight, and
even the morbidly obese are starving for essential proteins and amino
acids. All the processed, cooked foods we eat give us only a small
percentage of what we need. Consequently, we eat and eat and yet we’re
still not nourished. Psychologists try to tell us we’re eating to make
up for an emptiness in our souls. Wrong! Our bodies our empty and
trying to tell us so.

You don’t need butter or flour to make soup thick and creamy. Instead, stir in a cupful of rolled oats or quick oats, and cook for 20 minutes or more. Then whirl a hand blender in the pot to make the soup smooth and extra creamy. Try this in the delicious recipes below, or invent your own.

Incredible Creamy Clam Chowder
1 large onion, chopped
6 cups bouillon
1 medium cauliflower, cut in chunks
1 cup quick-cooking or rolled oats
1 teaspoon oregano
pinch cayenne, or to taste
1 6.5-ounce can chopped clams, undrained
Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Pasta has existed since the days of the Roman Empire and remains one of the most versatile cooking ingredients, as no storage room or cupboard should be without it. It can be combined with meat, fish, vegetables, fruit, or even a simple herb sauce to create a mouthwatering and nutritious meal within minutes.

Most pasta is made from durum wheat flour and contains protein and carbohydrates. It is a good source of slow-release energy and has the additional advantage of being value for money.

Eating a healthy dessert doesn’t have to break the bank. While it’s true that Twinkies and Ding-Dongs do cost less (in dollars) than quality healthy foods, the cost to our health is truly frightening!

Follow these tips for low-cost healthy desserts:

1) Try fruit! Full of natural sugars, and naturally fat free, fruit is a great dessert choice! Fresh kiwi, apples, pears, plums and oranges can all be found for about 50 cents per serving.

2) Fat-free pudding costs only 79 cents per box and is quite low in calories!

Potato salads are not just for picnics! They’re good year-round, and the variations are endless. Try adding chunks of red-skinned potatoes to just about any tossed salad recipe, or make your own versions of my recipes by adding any other ingredients you like.

I never peel potatoes for salads. The skins of the red ones are pretty in a salad and if you throw them away, you waste their fiber. Just scrub the potatoes with a plastic scouring pad.

Fish is one of the best foods for you, and has even been approved by the American Heart Association as being part of a healthy heart diet. There are more varieties of seafood than any other class of food. Tastes in seafood vary from the strong pungent taste of the English Kipper to the delicate taste of Alaskan crab. There is something for everyone, and comes with lots of health benefits:

1. Fish is high in protein. Protein is essential for maintaining and building muscle. Protein helps your body repair damaged muscle and aids you in developing muscle. It is good for those involved with bodybuilding, muscle strengthening and lots of aerobic exercise.
