Thanksgiving: Dark or White Meat?
Celebration!!! Family, friends, Aunt Myrtle, football, and everything else
What a fun time around food; the holidays and turkey YES!
The energy science nutritional advice is ENJOY
To completely enjoy the holiday seasonal festivities, the energy science suggests that for PK the dark meat of the turkey is not so good and that white meat is best The energy science reason behind this is that the dark meat of any animal is loaded with fatty acids which bring the sour taste
The sour taste is the acid taste in Nature and the sour taste is provoking to Pitta and Kapha So the fatty acids provoke people who happen to have Pitta Kapha energy pattern makeups
For Pitta Vata, both white and dark meat should be used in moderation; that is, dark meat 1-2x per week and the same for white meat Vata as an energy pattern is balanced by the sour taste but Pitta energy pattern is still provoked so moderation is the guideline
To enjoy thanksgiving even more, there are some helpful suggestions
Avoid ice with the water
PK should use white meat only; PV can use dark and white meat in moderation, so mix it up
Use a churan when eating
Avoid poor food combining, such as fruit with other foods
Avoid dairy with potatoes when mashing; use soy milk
And HaVE FuN Life is here to enjoy

Nutritional Humor
Sometimes there can be a glitch in the reasoning process
Watch this for some yucks
In order to keep our metabolism from slowing down we need 1200 calories per day, that is our digestiive fire needs to be fed in order to keep it burning just like a campfire
But movement is required as our "athletes" found out in the pool
Can you relate to overeating your digestive fire as they experienced?

Channels of Energy Flow: An Anatomy Lesson
There are numerous examples of channels of energy flow in the body, the gastrointestinal(GI) system, blood vessels, the urinary tract, the reproductive system, the nervous system
Think about it, without bias and with fresh eyes
The GI system is merely a long tube that runs from the mouth to the other end; blood vessels are long channels of a tubular network, both on the venous and arterial sides, the heart being an expanded tube
The urinary system, although seemingly complex at the kidney level, is actually a series of tubes called nephrons that link with another tube, the collecting system which expands into a storage area we call the bladder, that then makes its way out to the body surface through a tube we call the urethra
In all of these examples the channels serve as conduits for, yes, blood, urine, and food that eventually is eliminated as stool But can we simply reframe blood, urine and food that is from another view, energy?
Food is energy, correct? The same can be said for blood and urine, correct?
So these channels are energy channels as well With me so far?
So what happens if I excessively consume the hot quality in the form of hot chiles, cayenne, horseradish, and tomatoes? Eventually the hot quality shows up in the GI channel experienced as acid indigestion(heartburn) and diarrhea
This hot quality is now seen in other channels such as the blood channel and urinary channels Then I begin sensing the hot quality in the blood channel as fever or feeling hot In the urinary channel I sense burning on urination, frequency and urgency of urination, and a doctor may diagnose that I have a urinary tract infection
But I don't have a UTI, I'm just expressing the hot quality in my urinary tract!
The energy science medical model gives doctors another dimension in understanding dis-ease and can be quite enlightening

Osteoporosis and Sesame Seeds
Foods can be important supplements of needed nutrients in our diets
As a matter of fact, foods are probably more important as a source of nutrients than our favored supplemental pills Why? How could this be?
The crystalline compounds that we ingest for, say, supplemental calcium are not in a recognizable state; they are in an unnatural form They are like the picture without the picture frame so the body doesn't recognize the picture
Now sesame seeds, that's a different story Sesame seeds are a good source of supplemental calcium and probably a whole lot cheaper than the pills
According to some sources a handful of white dried decorticated sesame seeds has 1200mg of calcium and 500mg of magnesium and is a great habit to do in the morning routine This alone can be helpful in reducing the risk of osteoporosis particularly in postmenopausal Pitta Vata women
Estrogen is necessary for maintaining healthy bone metabolism utilizing calcium, magnesium, zinc, and others for healthy bone structure
Since estrogen is reduced in postmenopausal women herbal replacement therapy would be advantageous as discussed in the past
And lastly improving the health of the colon is also important since it is is a primary mineral absorption site in the GI tract We can take all the supplements on the planet but if we don't have the ability to digest, absorb, and assimilate it won't be getting into the body
