Goat cow's milk cramps endo diet food goat's milk health healthy eating hormones natural organic oklahoma city oklahoma

Aug 23
Hey Everybody! It’s time to drink some goat’s milk! I have been drinking goat’s milk as a replacement for cow’s milk. Goat’s milk is a natural solution to minimize cramps while I am on my period as it has far less estrogen (a cramping trigger) than cow’s milk. Goat’s milk only contains trace amounts of Casein which is also a cramping trigger and one of the main proteins which causes an allergy for people in dairy products. To top it off, check out these other awesome things you are doing for yourself when you drink a cold glass of goat’s milk. I don’t know about you, but I think the reason 10 year old girls are having periods is because of the excess of unnatural hormones in the food that we are eating every day. Sounds crazy, but check out some of the benefits of goat’s milk! Goat’s milk contains 13 percent more calcium than cow’s milk Goat’s milk has 25% more vitamin B-6, 47% more vitamin A, 134% more potassium, and three times more niacin. There is no antibiotic residue, growth hormones, BST, or other contaminants used on the goats. In addition, the mechanical pasteurization process used for cow’s milk releases xanthine oxidase, and enzyme which can create scar damage to the heart and arteries. Goat’s milk has an alkaline pH, so it does not produce acid in the blood on intestinal system. (Acidic blood and intestinal pH levels are associated with fatigue, headaches, muscle aches and pains, sore pressure points, excess weight, blood sugar imbalances, and Candida Albicans infections.) Goat’s milk is good It is delicious (no, I wasn’t paid by a goat milk man to write this post) I really love goat’s milk Plus, goats are cute So, next time you are picking up some groceries, grab a carton of goat’s milk and check it out. It is a great alternative to the cow products that are filled with hormones.

Juice It Up!!!!!

Spring is here in Oklahoma! To accompany this sunny weather try this light detoxifying juice! This is one of my favorite juice recipes that I have come up with- It makes a beautiful creamy pastel orange color and the taste is light, spicy and sweet. 

  • 2.5  Granny Smith Apples
  • 4 inch piece of Ginger (Less if you want it less spicy)
  • 2 Golden Beets (I trimmed the leaves, but if they are in good shape, juice the stalk and everything) Rule of Thumb: Don’t drink beet juice on its own, it is very harsh on your throat and will make it scratchy and irritated.
  • 3 inches of Organic Carrot
  • 1 Organic Yam
  • 4 inches Organic Cucumber

Don’t let this combination of fruits and veggies freak you out, the juice is sweet and palatable with a crisp zing of ginger. 

Why Juice These Veggies? (a brief explanation)

Apples: High in antioxidants and also provides energy for the body. Low in Calories. 

Ginger: Anti-inflammatory, ginger has been linked to slowing the growth of cancer cells and lowering cholesterol. 

Golden Beets: Unique source of phytonutrients called Betalains. These have been found to lessen tumor cell growth. High in Folate and beets are a great internal organ detoxifier. 

Carrots: High in Beta Carotene and Vitamin A. The Beta Carotene maintains the epithelial tissue (surrounds internal organs) which makes the organs far less susceptible to cancer growth. 

Yams: High in Beta Carotene and and B6, which breaks down Homocystein, (damages blood vessel walls). High in Potassium, great source of Manganese which helps with carb metabolism and also increases energy. Also great thing to eat for PMS. 

Cucumber: High in Antioxidants and Vitamin C- Great for treating acne, sunburns and puffiness/swelling. Has high Silicon and Sulfur which promote hair growth! Great for weight loss as it provides electrolytes and restores hydration in the body. 

Enjoy!

WHAT DOES THE STICKER ON YOUR PRODUCE MEAN? Those little stickers are the gateway to finding out exactly WHAT you’re eating. Check it out!  If there are only four numbers in the PLU, this means that the produce was grown conventionally or “traditionally” with the use of pesticides. The last four letters of the PLU code are simply what kind of vegetable or fruit. An example is that all bananas are labeled with the code of 4011. If there are five numbers in the PLU code, and the number starts with “8″, this tells you that the item is a genetically modified fruit or vegetable. Genetically modified fruits and vegetables trump being organic. So, it is possible to eat organic produce that are grown from genetically modified seeds. A genetically engineered (GE or GMO) banana would be: 84011 If there are five numbers in the PLU code, and the number starts with “9″, this tells you that the produce was grown organically and is not genetically modified. An organic banana would be: 94011 Info quoted from this awesome article written by Dr. Frank Lipman

Turkey Marinated in MRSA, Pregnancy Hormones in a Can…and We Thought Pink Slime Was the Worst of it! The 9 NASTIEST THINGS FOUND IN YOUR GROCERY STORE FOOD-  Thanks to Rodale,I found this write up on the 9 most disgusting things in grocery store food and I wanted to share it with you- You can find all 9 items and the details here- (this includes lettuce covered in rocket fuel, vet meds in beef and other SICK things!) Did you know? Pregnancy Hormones in a Can The Gross Factor: Bisphenol A (BPA), a chemical that acts like the hormone estrogen in your body, is used to create the epoxy linings of canned food. What food processors don’t tell you is that the chemical was created over 70 years ago as a drug that was intended to promote healthy pregnancies. Though it was never used as a drug, the food industry saw no problem adding this pregnancy drug to a wide range of products, including canned food linings and plastic food containers. “Low levels of BPA exposure has been linked to a wide range of adverse health effects, including abnormal development of reproductive organs, behavior problems in children, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic changes that result in altered insulin levels, which leads to diabetes,” says Sarah Janssen, senior scientist at the Natural Resources Defense Council. And its use in canned food is the number one reason why 90 percent of Americans have it in their bodies.

A Lunch So Good- Here is my how-to guide on how to lunch so well, you won’t even remember that dairy, gluten or meat even exist- Step 1- You need a GREAT GLUTEN-FREE BREAD. This step cannot be skipped because it will ruin your entire sandwich. I have obsessed over this bread in a few posts, but in case you forgot I am in love with FOOD FOR LIFE . (My fave is the Brown Rice Bread) Enjoy it Best Tip: Keep it in the freezer and toast (twice) when ready to chomp. Step 2- A GREAT SPREAD. Get something good to put on your bread, maybe make a pesto or use mustard, but I like to use VEGANAISE. Also, don’t forget to season it! I like to add Seasalt, Cayenne Pepper and Lime Pepper to mine. Step 3- Put SOME GOOD FOOD ON IT! I go for something green, something pickled, something creamy and something crunchy. (AND of course I am covering it in Chia Seeds, my other obsession) Side note: Do you love cheese? I suggest grabbing the Lisanatti Foods Almond Cheese next time you’re out grocery shopping. I always get the Jalapeno Jack Style.  You might be freaked out at first but this cheese tastes like a pepper jack version of string cheese and  I think it is delish. You can get less expensive soy cheeses, but soy promotes the production of estrogen which increases menstrual cramps, so I don’t eat that!!!!!!!!!!!!  I paired my sandwich with some Blue DIamond Nut Thins (They are gluten-free and super good and come in a lot of great flavors!) *What I ate: Food For Life Brown Rice Bread, Veganaise Spread, Arugula, Fresh Avocado, Shredded Carrot, Vlassic Sandwich Pickles, Lisanatti Jalapeno Jack Almond Cheese, Sweet Onion. Lightly dusted with Chia Seeds, Cayenne Pepper and Lime Pepper.
