Deep in the heart of the newly refurbished downtown Wild Rice Super Wholefoods store, self professed macrobiotic hip chick, Shiitake Jones was carefully inspecting a batch of new season biodynamic short grain brown rice in the bulk foods section. It seemed to be of reasonable quality so she filled several brown paper bags with it, collected her chickpeas, adzuki beans and barley and headed off in search of some rare quality wildcrafted kuzu collected under the full moon by Mongolian peasants in the middle of winter.

Serious health warning: Incorporating these suggestions into your
life may allow you to remain fit, healthy and sniffle-free all winter
long.

With the brisk chill of the colder months descending upon us,
thoughts of winter sniffles can have many of us reaching for a box of
tissues before you can even say “aaaaachooo…!!!” Although common as a
cold, respiratory infections are nothing to sneeze at. With increasing
numbers of deaths from antibiotic resistant pneumonia, bacterial
diseases and worldwide infectious epidemics, perhaps it is time to

instigating the scientific struggle to win the war with microbes, more

“the toxin is nothing, the terrain is everything!” may have found this
emerging wholistic approach empowering. Continue Reading »

lines year round. Continue Reading »

“To carb or not to carb?” This seems to be the question on everybody’s lips (or should that be hips?) these days. Disillusioned with the ineffective low fat, high carbohydrate diets that boomed during the aerobic crazed 1980’s and 90’s, and facing epidemics of obesity, maturity-onset diabetes and cardiovascular disease, more and more people are forgoing fat-free fare and turning to the high fat and protein food they used to shun.

CARE FOR YOUR KIDNEYS

Although wintertime is the season traditionally associated with the
kidneys, it is easy for these hardworking organs to become overstressed
by the extremes of summer living. Excess fluid intake in response to
food choices that make us excessively thirsty and overexposure to the
elements, an overabundance of cooling foods and drinks and lack of
adequate rest can all be taxing to the vital energy of these organs.
Give them a treat with this re-balancing home remedy and notice how you
feel. Continue Reading »

aging, has become one of the most consumed herbs in the world and the
fastest growing in terms of consumer demand.

Until the recent reintroduction of unrefined coconut oil on the
wholefoods scene, and the attempt to re-educate a public indoctrinated
by the margarine and refined oils industry of its supposed deleterious
effects, all that stood between artery obstructing, cell destroying
trans fats and a deep fryer was butter. Hardly a choice for most
macrobiotically oriented, whole food loving individuals. Continue Reading »
