How to Nourish the Body on a Cellular Level

One of the keys to assimilating our nutrients is of course how well we digest the food we consume. Many people whom are interested in obtaining nourishment from nuts, seeds, wild rice etc. realize that in order to get the most benefit from these foods soaking them for at least 12 hours will ensure releasing any enzyme inhibitors.

Now if you want to take things to the next level of Cellular integrity you might consider taking those nuts, seeds or rice and culturing them. This means it is time to blend in a powerful probiotic so that the nuts/seeds/rice ferment and NOW the food is activated and easy to digest. Now you have Bio-Available Protein, Fat, and Carbohydrate that converts into Amino Acids, Fatty Acids & Usable Energy. Now your body can create beautiful hair, skin & bones and re-manufacture its’ own metabolic enzymes & hormones. This is really a lifestyle and a way to get the most out of the food you consume. Many people try eating raw or vegan and miss this step! This is the ultimate step as it gives the body an easy way to get nutrition that converts quickly.

Try the recipe below and let me know what you think:

1 cup soaked Raw Organic Almonds (24 hour soak and rinse water regularly)

4 young thai coconuts (open with a cleaver and scoop out white meat. reserve coconut water for blending).

1 cup of NON GMO Rice Bran Solubles (Tocotreniols)

1 -2 tsp of high quality plant based probiotics or instead of coconut water use Coconut Kefir water

Now put the meat and almonds into the blender. Maybe blend in intervals a little bit at a time. Add some rice bran and coconut water to the consistency of yogurt. Now add your probiotics or if you are using kefir water just add that instead.  I just save the coconut water and make kefir with my own probiotics. Then I have tons of kefir water to utilize.

Now strain the mixture thru a sieve.  Let sit on the counter with a lid unsealed (leave air to breath). Maybe check it after 6 hours. Could take a whole 24 hours depending on the probiotics and tempratures. It will puff up and have a slight zing to it. It is now activated.

To create variety of all your high quality nuts/seeds rotate what you culture. Try hemp yogurt, chia seed yogurt, brazil nut yogurt. Ferment wild rice! Have fun and enjoy nutrition on a true cellular level!!!!!!!!!!

One of Nature’s Most Powerful Healers Are Closer than You May Think. What are Probiotics and How Do They Contribute to a Strong & Healthy Body?

Our bodies are living cultures. When we take responsibility (meaning the ability to respond) to nourish and care for our bodies they give back to us ten fold! Everything is connected, once we re-establish the healthy flora in our bodies they will thrive in our bodies providing powerful and healing qualities that reflect into our physical world.

One of our first exposures to this micro flora is through our mother’s birth canal; we are coated with a layer of bacteria. If our mother was healthy she blessed us with a nice shield of friendly armor. If she may have been dealing with Candida at the time of birth or an unhealthy lifestyle than this too was transferred to the baby. This along with pharmaceutical drugs & tap water often destroy or suppress our own immune response thus killing off many of our friendly bacteria and contributing to disease in the body. An over-growth of unfriendly bacteria can easily create imbalances such as Acne, Allergies, Autism, Immune Disorders & the list goes on.

If this was the case for you as a child – you are not to worry! Our bodies are miraculous and come bouncing back with an abundance of energy when given natural care. The body wants to heal itself by its very nature. If you are starting a family this is something to consider for your own child’s health. We build our world one child at a time.

The best thing to do in order to re culture our gut is to feed it the friendly micro flora.

When the friendly bacteria proliferate we experience healthy skin, weight loss, increased immune response, better digestion & healthy bowel movements because these little sentient beings are constantly producing enzymes, B vitamins and other nutrients that support a healthy internal environment.

Internally our “gut” or intestinal system is our line of defense in keeping the skin healthy, vibrant & our immune system strong. Skin issues are often related to what is going on inside our gut. The ratio to healthy & unhealthy bacteria in the intestine is said to be best at 80/20. When this is in check rest assured the body will thrive.

Lipophilli Bacteria are fat-soluble microbes that live on the exterior of our skin. They keep viruses, infections and fungal issues at bay. This protective layer is required for our body to maintain a radiant & youthful glow. It is the harsh soaps & cleansers out there that strip these oils from the skin opening our immune system up to invaders.

Probiotics will also acidify the colon (maintaining a proper pH between 6.7 and 6.9); normalize our bowel movements; produce key minerals & vitamins; produce lactase (for lactose intolerance); & remove toxic waste from the body.

If you choose to supplement with Probiotics a good idea might be to take a teaspoon in the morning, on an empty stomach, and a teaspoon at night before bed. This way we coat the digestive tract and allow the organisms to proliferate without interruption. Choosing a high quality probiotic that is proteolytic, which means they break down the proteins into amino acids is crucial. This will allow the amino acids to convert in the body to create strong healthy bones, skin & hair. This allows us the ability to manufacture our own metabolic enzymes and hormones. Probiotics are key to vibrant health!

Other ways to get your Probiotics could be coconut kefir water, cultured vegetables & cultured nut seeds & cheeses. Colostrum is also full of probiotics.

As we modify the terrain the unfriendly bacteria will no longer have the environment to thrive. This really goes hand and hand with our world. We are learning to reinvent and recreate our world to be a happier, healthier place. As we clean up our own terrain we will see the manifestation in our physical world.

How To Make Cultured Coconut Hempseed Yogurt & Benefits

This morning I made a non dairy yogurt that is absolutely incredible and the health benefits are really outstanding.  It is fairly simple to make and because we let it culture for a few hours on the counter it creates a powerhouse of healthy bacteria to support your immune function, build a beautiful inner eco system and assist in breaking down:

1. Fats into fatty acids
2. Protein into amino acids
3. Carbohydrates into energy.

Essentially the micro-nutrients are now available for use in the body making it extremely easy to digest.

Recipe:

3 Young Coconuts (water and meat)

1 cup of Raw Organic Hemp Seeds

1 cup or so of coconut water kefir OR a Probiotic liquid or Powder

1/4 cup Raw Organic Ecuadorian Banana Flakes (Optional) – I like to add these to create a banana pudding.

1/2 -1 cup Rice Bran Solubles (Optional) -This is a super anti-oxidant and adds a creamy texture.  Another choice would be to add a Non-GMO Lecithin Powder

To Create: Place your kefir water in the blender add the meat of the coconuts and the hemp seeds. Put in a little at a time to blend well. Add more liquid as needed. You can add some of the fresh young coconut water b/c as it sits the friendly bacteria will feed from that sugar. If you do NOT have kefir simply add a nice teaspoon full of probiotic powder to the coconut water and you will get great results.

Add banana flakes and Rice Bran if desired. This should be a nice thick & creamy texture.

Scoop out into a glass container and sit the lid on top but do not fully close.  Let sit for around 8 hours. Check occasionally depending on temperature. It will smell slightly tangy and puff up.  Now enjoy or store in the refrigerator up to 3 days or so.

You can purchase the Kefir Starter on my blog by going to “Build Your Immnity Tab” on the right column or Products Page

To buy Probiotic Powder that is available under “Probiotcs & Enzymes Tab” or Products Page.

Enjoy this nutrient dense superfood.

Note: Hemp seeds are a TRUE super food Here is why:

• Bio available Amino Acids
• Mineral Dense
• Omega 3′s & Omega 6 Rich
• Beautifying due to healthy fat ratios
• Immune system building
• Provides Long Lasting Energy
• Regulates Cholesterol Levels

Nutrient Dense Food for Your Living Body!

How to Make Cultured Vegetables/Salsa and Coconut Kefir Water

Today I made a batch of cultured salsa & some coconut kefir water.

Fermenting or Culturing veggies is a great way to enhance the nutritional value of the vegetables.  The friendly bacteria in the culture starter proliferates and after it sits for 3-7 days (or longer is great) at about 70 degrees you have a nutrient dense food.  This is extremely easy on the digestive system and is great paired with all of your meals for better assimilation and utilization of your foods. So that you can build strong & healthy hair, skin and bones. Beyond that it keeps the immune system strong!

The recipe I made today is a cultured salsa.  I took organic veggies like cabbage, red bell pepper, jalapenos, onions, dandelion greens, cilantro, beets, carrots, tomatos, mineral salt, lemon juice and fresh pressed garlic.  I minced & cut the items as desired and mix them all together.

Then I take the Body Ecology Culture Starter (you can get this on my website by clicking on the tab, “Build Strong Immunity”) and mix it with 1/2 cup of 90 degree water and some form of sugar. I used organic sun dried coconut crystals.  I let this sit for 20 minutes to let the probiotics feed off of the sugar.

Next you make a brine. You take several cups of your veggie mixture and put in your high power blender. After this is well blended like a thick soup you take the culture starter and pour that into the brine.  Now pour this over the veggies.

Next take your clean glass jars and begin to pack the mixture into each jar leaving 2 inches at the top.  Now roll up a few cabbage leaves and place at the top of the jar. Seal and let sit for a 1 week or more.

Coconut Kefir Water is very healthy too. It is a probiotic drink.  This to me is like the finest champagne and good for you!  You can make this from the Kefir Starter that I offer on my website under the same tab, “Build Strong Immunity.”  What I do a lot of the time is take a small amount of kefir I have already made and add it to fresh organic young coconut water. I let this sit on the counter with a lid for 24-36 hours or until fizzy.  You can also use the Kefir starter, add the powder to the coconut water and sit in glass jar with lid for same amount of time.  Adjust time depending on temperature.

Please feel free to interact or ask questions/leave comments. Cheers to building strong immunity~ Love, The Sacred Farm House Kitchen of the Dodhisattva:)

A Wonderful Nutrient Dense Super Food

Why Culture My foods?

Since my website includes cultured food recipes I wanted to give a brief explanation as to why this is of utmost importance in your daily routine as you create wholesome living foods.

Culturing your foods allows for the food to be “activated.” It allows friendly bacteria to proliferate and actually digest itself. This is much easier on our digestive system as we go to eat. It is a great idea to eat cultured foods with every meal to make sure you are digesting everything you consume.

So…as we ferment and culture our foods the health and friendly bacteria is created and it allows for bio-available food to enter the body. When our food is bio-available we are able to build strong muscle, hair, skin and bones. We can then start to manufacture our own metabolic enzymes and hormones. This will ultimately lead us to radiance!

Some foods that you can culture are: Coconut water, Nut and seed milks, vegetables to make sauerkraut, seed and nut yogurts, seed and nut cheeses. The list goes on and on. Enjoy cultured foods today and try our Probiotic Blend Powder which is Proteolytic, which means it breaks down the proteins into amino acids. Not all probiotics are proteolytic or medical grade. Get these probiotics and consume them morning and evening to re establish friendly flora in the intestinal tract.  Use this probiotic to create your nut and seed cheeses and yogurts as well.  For recipes please go to my website: Http://www.dodhisattva.com

Quick Tip with Coconut Water Kefir

Groceries/Tools:

Buying the Young Coconut Water Kefir at the store for
13 dollars is not necessarily a bad investment. What you can do is save 1/4 cup of the liquid and put in a new bottle with  more fresh organic young coconut water allowing this to ferment over the next 24 to 48 hours will activate the entire amount of liquid. You now have another coconut kefir drink.  This makes that 13 dollar investment worth it.

Always start your day with a lemon ginger blast to wash the system.  Add parsely, carrot tops, and/or dandelion greens to clean blood and strengthen the kidneys/detox the liver.

Take long, slow deep breaths to oxygenate the body and ward off stale energy inside the body which attracts germs and eventually disease.

Note: You have the option of buying a premium quality probiotic such as NCP’s go to; http://www.enzymesandprobiotics.com and purchase here.  Then you have a lot of probiotic to create your coconut water with. The above mentioned recipe is if you may not have the resources to purchase it.

Living Plant-based, Enzyme-rich, Cultured Foods

As we look at the United States and see how the foods we eat are directly related to the dis-eases in the body we may start to remember our essence and get back to the truth. Most diseases in the body relate directly to what we are feeding them. If we are truly conscious when we feed ourselves and embody breath work we would find bodies of radiance, vibrancy, with an abundance of energy creating a lean, clean and serene body, mind and spirit.  First I must say that there are many things that come into play beyond what you eat.  Your thoughts, your level of gratitude for this life, your cellular environment and exercise all play a role.  Today I am covering the nutritional aspect.  One of the most inspiring parts of my mentor and friend is that he is living proof (37 years)  that these dietary guidelines indeed work.  They are not only in compliance with the body ecology but they are also in alignment with mother earth and father sky. Today I am just going to share the nuts and bolts (pun intended), because this information relates to those glorious nuts and seeds we can thrive on.

Nuts and Seeds are an ital part of a plant based living food lifestyle. But, what most people are missing is the soaking, germinating and culturing of the nuts and seeds. This is the key to unlocking the proteins so that they can be converted into amino acids to manufacture a healthy body.  Below I will share a simple recipe in order to create an amazing culture.  With this culture you can make dressings, patte’s, yogurts and smoothies.

1 cup of Organic, Raw Almonds (most Almonds in the health food store have been cooked due to laws).

Soak these in pristine clean water for 24 to 48 hours changing the water periodically as it requires. Next, you want to drain the water off and put into the blender with some structured water and 1 or 2 scoopfuls of NCP  Probiotic Blend Powder or other high quality probiotics.  When this is the consistency you prefer store in a glass jar with a lid loosely placed on the top so that it will culture. On a hot day it may only take 3 hours, on a cool day it could take 6.  Once this has cultured, you can store in the refrigerator with the jar sealed.

**Almond Coconut Yogurt- Some time try adding coconut meat and coconut water instead of alkaline water.  Create your blended mixture and add the Probiotic.  This is a base for a delicious smoothie.

Blessings and Thank You for caring so much about your health.  Please contact me for more information.
