Are You Eating Organic

Chapter 2 EAT YOUR FOOD, DON’T THROW IT OUT Some things have value, like food preparation. We don’t pay attention with what we use and sometimes foods are discarded or misused by mistake or by lack of knowledge or ignorance. For example, we peel the potatoes and the peels we throw out. Why, I ask? Potato peels have nutrition. Under the skin, you will find natural sodium, good for all your joints, stomach lining, and eyes. The explanation is simple, where the blood doesn’t reach, the sodium will. Manmade sodium chloride - you don’t want to use it - the second ingredient is sugar. In a watermelon, the top red part that we eat is very cleansing and soothing. However, did you know that the bottom white part contains chlorine and sodium, both excellent cleansers? Another mineral routinely thrown out is calcium, found in beet tops and the leaves we cut off. Grapes contain seeds; we eat the grapes and throw out the seeds. If you were to chew them, you would find their taste bitter. What you are tasting is potassium, which is good for natural bowel movement. Potassium is one mineral that we need to have plenty of at all times. Out all this good stuff goes to the recycle bin. The bin is healthy, not us. We eat almonds, which are very rich in calcium, iron, manganese, potassium, phosphorus and carbon nitrogen, but unless you soak them overnight in water, you won’t digest them properly and then you will have to chew them at least 20 times. Another thing we don’t do properly; raisins should be revived in hot water for a few minutes. This way, the amount of sugar released to you at once is reduced. Dry fruit has very high levels of concentrated sugar. It’ll be a sugar shock, but if there was a bee or a wasp laying their eggs, the hot water would kill the eggs originally laid there by insects.
