I don't have the energy to watch 3 hours of the Great Food Debate... I'll skim Marke and Kev's notes tomorrow.

Best food item: Well, I didn't really have one. I guess it was rice noodles with leftover curry from Sunday. (with coconut milk!) I'm down to only oranges, overripe bananas, and apples, and I need more fruit around the house.
Off-diet: Just recalled that I could not sleep last night, principally due to being cold, being in pain, having a stomach ache, and general restlessness. I drank most of a Sprite and it helped tremendously... And has a substantial amount of sugar. Other than this, 10 pm, I'm perfect as a princess!
I'm TIRED of dark dark dark (80%) chocolate. I think I need to buy Harry & Davids or Dove dark - they have more sugar in them.
Time to read up on anti-inflammatory foods. I remember something about wild salmon being an anti-inflammatory, and that SURE sounds good right now!

Idea for a yummy pumpkin shake:
1/4 c pumpkin
low-fat vanilla yogurt,
banana,
spoonful of peanut butter
handful of ice cubes
milk to thin (Almond milk? Will coconut milk work?)
Cinnamon on top---
Remember yesterday's mention of how vegan/raw foodies need to be super aware of their B-12 intake? The show (link now expired) suggested under-the-tongue sprays or injections for great absorption, and says the compound's components are so large that when you eat a pill, most of it goes straight out the other end.
Renegade Health, an awesome site by the guy hosting The Great Health Debate, has a 5 minute B-12 episode.
There are three primary types to purchase. Metho-cobalamine is the one we're looking for...
He mentions an under-the-tongue pill. Hmmmm. Not sure if this is helpful or not given the info we heard yesterday. He also says fermented foods aren't quite good enough to give us B-12. I didn't even know this was an alternate source.
He mentions a test re: B-12, but says it is unreliable for vegans and those taking algae supplements. Order it here for $150. Norman Clinical Labratory. They will send a uMMA by mail
Blood homocysteine testing is more reliable. (Right. Right. Nope.)
Night 2 was an awesome interview! I'm sorry to hear you missed it! I recommend it much more than Night 1. I took a lot of notes but haven't had a chance to edit them yet.
ReplyDeleteTonight is Night 3 but I don't have the energy to listen to it. Will check it out tomorrow. One of the speakers is pro-fermented foods (saurkraut, yogurt, kombucha, kefir, etc) while the other is anti-fermented foods.
Thank you thank you!
ReplyDeleteI am at my mom's sewing right now, and will shortly begin streaming last night's show.
Cheers -
