Comments on: Is it Best to Eat One Single Food at a Time – The Renegade Health Show Episode #465 http://renegadehealth.com/blog/2009/12/21/is-it-best-to-eat-one-single-food-at-a-time/ Sun, 12 Feb 2012 22:16:21 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Sharon http://renegadehealth.com/blog/2009/12/21/is-it-best-to-eat-one-single-food-at-a-time/#comment-65836 Sharon Wed, 30 Dec 2009 00:57:10 +0000 http://renegadehealth.com/blog/?p=2127#comment-65836 There are airtight glass containers mentioned in Carol Alt's book. I forget the name of the company but they are VERY expensive. They come with a vacuum type hose to suck the air out of the container. Produce can last for weeks in the fridge so I suppose they're worth it if you can afford the investment. I don't use plastic much and store my stuff in glass but I do freeze my bananas in a plastic bag. Freezing won't release BPA's if that's the concern. Only heat will so if you reuse them, just rinse with cold water, not warm or hot. Tupperware also doesn't contain BPA. There are airtight glass containers mentioned in Carol Alt’s book.

I knew that fruits could be frozen, (a nice desert), but did not think any freezing would apply to vegetables, without some sort of prior cooking, - correct?

Find a biodegradable kind or an organic supplier and they will use them too. It is my alternative to plastic bags and are for all intensive purposes exactly the same. :) Old fashioned cellophane bags made out of cellulose not plastic.

Dr D'Adamo does not present solid scientific evidence supporting his assertions. It is just theory with no documentation. Simply put he got a best seller because he appeals to the bad habits of many.

When we simply chew a salad, about seventy to ninety percent of the cells are not broken open. As a result, most of the valuable nutrients contained within those cells never enter our bloodstream. Blending raw, leafy greens guarantees that a higher percentage of nutrients will be absorbed into your bloodstream for your body to use." - Quote from Dr Fuhrman Regarding Green Smoothies or Blended Salads:

I use the older glass Corning Ware dishes, Pyrex, and Fire King that my parents used. These dishes all have glass lids. I have seen the Fire King dishes in antique shops. Maybe they could be found at a resale shop or some place similar. The lids are not air tight so for freezing after putting on the lid I use foil or plasic wrap around the container. The food never comes in contact with the over wrap. The Corning Ware says on the dish for range & microwave but does not say anything about freezing. Love the show. Have learned much!

I was also told the worst food combination was fruit & fats, which is what Flaxseeds are, and you are putting flaxseed oil in your smoothies. Do you have any problems from that? The funny thing is that i used to love to eat fruit with nuts, cottage cheese or yoghurt but stopped when I found this out, but I do sometimes get reflux symptoms from the fruit alone which I never noticed before. Nutrition is all so confusing. In regards to freezing I use pyrex glass containers that do have plastic lids but the food never touches the lid. No problems with freezing the glass but i had never thought about the plastic lids being an issue. I also freeze fruit in freezer bags & the frozen fruit I buy also comes in plastic bags. What are we to do? I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you and AnnMarie for all your hard work and effort this past year. I learn so much from you guys and love watching the show. It is my breakfast ritual as I live in Australia & that's when I get them. Merry Christmas to you both and your families and wishing you good health, happiness and prosperity for the New Year.

Simplicity in meals, variety over weeks, months, years. Look into the large research been done on food combining or otherwise known as trophology. Certain foods digest better when eaten alone or when eaten with similar food groups. When you eat 15 - 40 different foods at a time, especially heavy proteins with sugars, and proteins with carbohydrates, the digestion can slow to a point of stagnation, allowing bacteria to feed on undigested particles leading to acidity, and other problems. When you eat simply, the body can digest these foods easier, thus passing them quickly through the digestive track. In nature, it would be very difficult to gather 15-40 different varieties at a time. As our bodies and digestion system generally haven't changed much over the course of time, it is most likely that when we found abundant food sources, we would eat until we were full rather than wander around until we had "variety". Simplicity in meals, diversity over the weeks and months. PS Bob, You might want to change your words from preach to teach if your goal is to help people rather than condemn them. Just a thought :) Reply to Bob M.

Thanks for the snow, there was no chance of us seeing that this year. :) We are always trying to minimize our plastic use, GREAT question. It is a very difficult process, given our choices. As I see, we are not alone... We were just looking the other day for ice trays that are not plastic. To freeze our panini juice. Mmmmm.... Chris said they werent plastic "back in the day" . Lol. Anybody know where to get stainless ice trays, let us know. Kev, a warm ocean could satisfy all of your sporting/nature needs... 80 degrees and sunny most days. Something to think about..... Miss you guys! Well be back on the Inner Circle chat this Thurs. Thanks for finally mentioning the Inner Circle membership on the show... People need to hear about how awesome it is and all the great info. INCREDIBLE. We love it. Thanks for all of your hard work. Happy Holidays! ALOHA C&S Hi Kevin and AnnMarie,
