Roundup Food

Shannon Sliger

Glyphosate is the active ingredient in Monsantos's toxic herbicidal concoction Roundup.  Soy and corn crops are roundup ready.  Eat only non GMO, organic selections of them and their byproducts.  

Glyphosate is thought to have a role in diabetes, autism, Alzheimer's, digestive system disorders, infertility and birth defects.  

STOP MONSANTO. BOYCOTT ROUNDUP. BOYCOTT GMOs.

When Life Hands you Lemons

When life hands you lemons……make sure they're organic, and then squirt that stuff on everything.  By now you have seen a million posts about drinking warm lemon water first thing in the morning.  That is no joke.  My gastroenterologist doctor friend said he'd be out of a job if everyone did this.  

What does it do?  It switches the body from being acidic to being alkaline.  Funny since it feels like battery acid if you squirt it in your eye.  An acidic ash is left behind from our SAD diet of meat, dairy, processed foods and grains.  An acidic environment breeds inflammation which is the beginning of disease in the body.  

An alkaline environment is the ideal state to stay healthy.  This is the idea behind green juice.  You want to get your juices as green as possible with as little sugar as your palette can handle.  The more lemon added naturally preserves the juice's quality and taste.  

I like to do green tea with lemon and honey-kill two birds with one stone.  Or make it a Dtox H2O with alkaline water and cayenne.  This promotes a bowel movement first thing in the morning.  It helps to flush out mucous and speeds up the metabolism.  

Keep organic frozen vegetables ready to steam for a quick dinner.  Squirt the broccoli or green beans with lemon for a non-buttered, delicious, fresh taste that can alleviate or lessen the amount of salt needed.  

Lemons have a unique flavonoid compound with antioxidant and anti-cancer properties.  Full of vitamin C, lemons are a top powerhouse superfood.  

 

The girl w the one big boob

bigboob

Daylight savings time brings tired folks and late folks and the girl w the one big boob. Even though we put Ilsa to bed at the same time, she knew something was off. She, and therefore I, was up several times. By 5 am, I put her in bed w me to nurse. 1 hour later, my alarm went off for yoga.  She was still latched on. In laymen terms, she'd been eating on one side for an hour. I jumped up, dressed and ran to yoga.  

In Bikram style hot yoga, you stare at yourself in the mirror most of the class. How appropriate for those who know anything about the founder, Mr Bikram. I digress. 

As I plant my eyes, I notice my left boob is about 14 letdowns bigger than the right. Holy shit.   

Let it go.

As I move through the class, my balance is off. Way off. My balance is never off. It must be the boob. I mean it is literally the size of my head.  

Get out of your head-into your body. I did.  

Zoned out. Follow the breath.  

Later.

I noticed the teacher was laughing. Hard.  

I snapped out and looked and the teacher was looking my way laughing.  

Fyi-as a yoga teacher. Don't make inside jokes. Don't laugh at your own jokes. And definitely don't look towards the girl w one big boob and laugh and point. I'm still not sure if it was directed at me. Most likely not.  

Right?  

Happy Daylight Savings
