Healing Foods

Foods are healing, no doubt 

I think we have heard of some  Cranberry juice for urinary tract infections, tomatoes for prostate health, whole grain bread for fiber, Starbucks for a pick me up, energy drinks for pep, and fast food, quick easy, and dependable  

Now some of these choices are considered healing but is that based on nutritional myths or sound science?

But let's consider the present science of nutrition

Contemporary View of Foods

From a molecular or matter science way of viewing nutrition foods are less important than the "healing molecules"that foods bring based on a present biochemical understanding of the mindbody

But as our cartoon suggests we have separated foods from molecules and by our consumer spending says that taking molecules(supplements, vitamins, etc) is more important than the foods ingested

This has catapulted the US supplemental industry expenditure in excess of $3 billion per year

What Happened To Foods?

Not only supplements but now drinks containing specfic formulae to ensure that we have adequate nutritional molecular support are working on the consumer dollar as well

While the matter science nutritional format is helpful in identifying molecules its approach is tending to sever our relationship to foods consumed 

And the danger in such an approach is that we continue to eat foods that are not balancing for us and subliminally believe that the molecules will augment whatever we don't get in our nutrition

This begs the question then, "What foods are best for us?"

Using a Different Scientific Approach to Nutrition

As we have discussed in the past there is a different way of seeing ourselves and the world we live in

We can see ourselves as matter fields or energy fields  As the former we use our current nutritional molecular information  With the latter we see ourselves and the foods we consume in terms of qualities that support us or bring about imbalance which eventually leads to disease

To restrict ourselves to just one way of viewing the  mindbody when it is both an energy and matter field is to limit our ability to understand and heal it

An Energy Science Nutritional Approach

Changing our biological model to include an energy science approach to nutrition will go a long way to helping us see the healing value of foods

My friends, real healing doesn't occur with adding more molecules!!

This approach educates us in understanding which foods are uniquely tailored to our mindbody energy makeups 

It shows us that cranberries and tomatoes are often not good for us and if we do use them they should be used in moderation  It tells us that coffee and energy drinks are not good for us  And it shows us that fast foods can be medicinal for perhaps 20-30% of us but the rest of us could do without the ease and dependability

So are there healing foods?  From an energy science view it depends on who you are
