Avoiding Foods That Cause Problems

What most people do not realize is that almost every physical problem they experience, other than accidents, has a diet related cause.

Because our physical body is designed by God to be nourished with living (raw) foods, it is imperative that the greatest percentage of our daily food intake be composed of raw foods—and that we avoid the foods that are causing the problems in the first place.
Here are a list of foods that are excluded from The Hallelujah Diet. Although this list is far from comprehensive, using it as a guide will help you determine whether or not other foods are beneficial.

Beverages

• Alcohol
• Coffee (grain coffees like Pero and Roma are fine)
• Teas containing caffeine (caffeine-free herb teas are fine)
• Carbonated beverages and soft drinks
• All artificial and sugar containing drinks, sport drinks, and all juices containing preservatives, refined salt, sugar, and artificial sweeteners

Refined sugar suppresses the immune system and prevents its ability to protect us from germs, viruses, and bad bacteria. One 12 oz soft drink contains approximately 11 teaspoons of sugar and if consumed daily for one year, adds 15 pounds of weight.

Dairy

• All milk, cheese, ice cream, whipped toppings, and non-dairy creamers

Cow milk and cheese are some of the most dangerous foods we can place into our body. Read Dr. T. Colin Campbell’s book, The China Study for documentation (it will change your life).

Soy Milk and other Soy Products

• Most soy products should be avoided

Soy is high in estrogen. The estrogen in soy formulas has been known to cause baby girls to develop breast buds as young as two years of age, and the age of puberty, which should be past the age of 15 years, is now as early as 8, 9, and 10 years.
The growth hormones in animal flesh and dairy are also contributing to this problem. Estrogen can be a contributing factor in all female cancers, and the high protein content of soy can actually feed cancers.

Processed Fruits

• Canned and sweetened fruits
• Non-organic and sulfured dried fruits

Refined Grains

• Refined, bleached flour products, most cold breakfast cereals, and white rice

Refined grains are devoid of fiber and thus one of the leading causes of constipation. Animal-source foods are also totally devoid of fiber.

All Meats and Eggs

• Beef, pork, fish, chicken, eggs, turkey, hamburgers, hot dogs, bacon, sausage, bologna, etc.

All animal-source foods are harmful to the body and are the cause of up to 90% of all physical problems. Eliminating animal source foods can practically eliminate the fear of having a heart attack, stroke, cardiovascular problems, cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis, heartburn, gout, acid stomach, and the list goes on and on.

Certain Nuts and Seeds

• All roasted and/or salted seeds and nuts

Peanuts in particular are not a nut but a legume, and very difficult to digest.

Certain Oils

• All lard, margarine, shortenings, and anything containing hydrogenated oils or trans fats

Certain Seasonings

• Refined table salt and any seasonings containing it

Unlike mineral-rich unrefined salt, which is beneficial, refined table salt is devoid of such minerals, containing 97% to 99% sodium chloride. It is a leading cause of high blood pressure. Celtic or Eden Sea Salt, a natural, unrefined salt from the sea, is a good choice.

Certain Soups

• Any canned, packaged, or creamed soups containing salt or dairy products

Certain Sweets

• All refined white or brown sugar (brown sugar is simply refined white sugar with some molasses added for color)
• Sugar syrups
• Chocolate (carob is a wonderful chocolate substitute)
• Candy, gum, cookies, donuts, cakes, pies, or other products containing refined sugars or artificial sweeteners

Acceptable sweeteners include raw unfiltered honey, stevia, agave nectar, and pure maple syrup (use any of these sparingly).

Processed Vegetables

• All canned vegetables with added salt or preservatives
• Vegetables fried in oil

All Drugs

Though these are not foods, most are addictive and very destructive within the body:

• Alcohol
• Nicotine
• Caffeine
• Marijuana, cocaine, heroin, etc.
• Many over the counter and doctor-prescribed drugs

To Smoke or Not To Smoke

Your body is the temple of God. God lives in you, inside you. It's precious and you have to take care of it as good as you can. Don't burn it with cigarette or you will regret it someday. Smoking is bad for your health and it only brings you nothing but pain in the future. Remember, you will reap what you sow. So please stop smoking.

Please..

Ask God to help you. He will help you and give you strength to totally stop smoking. Cos nothing is impossible for God. And nothing is impossible to those who have faith in God.

Blessings!!

French Fries Recipe

French Fries is a crispy snack made of potato. Everybody loves it. Tapiiii kalo beli kan agak mahal tuh, belum lagi penggunaan pengawet dan penguat rasa yang ga bagus buat kesehatan qta. Sooo mendingan qta bikin sendiri aja dirumah. Cara pembuatannya ga susah kok..

Bahan-bahan:

• Kentang mentah
• 1 cangkir Terigu lencana merah
• Minyak zaitun untuk menggoreng :)
• 1 sdt Paprika bubuk
• 1 sdt Bawang Bombay bubuk
• 1 sdt Garam
• 1 sdt Bawang Putih bubuk
• Air untuk merebus

Cara Pembuatan

1. Kentang dipotong persegi panjang, lalu dicuci sekitar 4-5 kali untuk ngilangin getah kentang. Getah inilah yang membuat kentang cepat lembek setelah di goreng.
2. Setelah air cucian terlihat cukup bening, rendam kentang dengan air dingin.
3. Campur tepung dan semua bumbu ke dalam sebuah mangkok, tambahkan sedikit air sampai terlihat agak mengental.
4. Masukkan kentang satu per satu ke dalam campuran tepung sampai semua tercampur rata.
5. Siapkan minyak panas yang masih baru, goreng kentang hingga seluruhnya terendam minyak. Minyak harus dalam keadaan benar2 panas.
6. Angkat dan beri alas tissue dapur untuk menyerap minyak. 
7. Sajikan, dan siap disantap.

It's easy, right? Anyone can do it at home anytime. Daaan...sehat tentunya karena ga ada bahan kimianya. :) Have a great cook!

Blessings!!

Jus Wortel dan Seledri

Ini adalah Jus kesukaanku. Menu sarapan pertama setiap pagi sebelum Roti ato makanan lainnya. Soalnya Jus ini (en Jus apapun juga) harus diminum dalam keadaan perut kosong, supaya dapat dicerna dengan baik oleh usus. Baru 15-20 menit kemudian, aku makan Roti Gandum, Havermut or Nasi Goreng.

Bahan dan cara bikinnya gampang kok.. Untuk 1 gelas Jus ato kira-kira 8 oz diperlukan:

6-7 Wortel
1 Batang Seledri Import
Alat Juicer (bukan Blender loh..)

Caranya: Wortel dikupas trus semua bahan dicuci bersih pake air mateng, lalu masukin satu per satu ke dalam Juicer untuk diproses. Jadi deh..

Seledri bisa diganti dengan 1 buah Apel, Bayam ato seperempat Beet. Tapi tetap yg utama adalah Wortel, dengan perbandingan 30%-70%. Artinya campuran Wortel harus lebih banyak dari yg lainnya.

Nge-jus sendiri tentu hasilnya lebih baik daripada jus-jus kemasanan yg dijual dipasaran yg pastinya udah diberi pengawet, pemanis dan perasa yg telah terbukti merupakan zat adiktif yg menyebabkan berbagai macam penyakit.

So, buat aku, sekalipun agak repot dikit, ga papalah.. It's worth it kok, beneran.

I'll share about juicing and all the benefits in my other post, but for now, mudah2an ini bisa bermanfaat buat kamu.


Happy Juicing..!!
