When I Used To Live In Hong Kong And Went To Lunch With The Office Staff The Custom Was To Always Eat

When I used to live in Hong Kong and went to lunch with the office staff the custom was to always eat vegetables first, then protein and finally rice or noodles after a pause. The meal would last an hour at lunch and at dinner it would last maybe 2-3 hours. And each dish would come at intervals. And I used to never feel sleepy after the meal. It got me thinking. Should we save carbs for last and give it a 15-minute pause? A small study from Weil Cornell indicates glucose levels were 29%, 37% and 17% lower at the 30, 60 and 120-minute checks, compared with when carbohydrates were consumed first. They might be onto something. Give it a try and see if your food Coma is eliminated. And eat slowly. That could prevent the sudden rush of glucose. For diabetics this might be even more useful to control blood sugar levels. Apparently your body requires an acid base to digest proteins and an alkaline base to digest starches so keeping them separate might make even more sense.

One of many causes of diabetes and obesity is that we have the wrong type of gut bacteria in our stomach. You can search for the studies pretty easily. In one example when they inserted fecal matter from a thin person into an obese person, they lost weight. In another study showed Fecal microbiota transplantation was effective at improving insulin resistance.  While most people get on a diet program, fasting, cutting carbs and exercising, all good things, they should also pay close attention to changing their gut bacteria. Pickles are a cheap and effective way to get gut bacteria into your stomach. You need a variety of pickles not just one type. Once a week is enough really. Most people eat like 8-9 different types of vegetables only. That won’t give you enough types of good bacteria. Get it up at least twenty in a month. Different food stores have different types of bacteria in their food. Food rotation also helps. Good bacteria need fiber for food while the bad bacteria eat sugar. If you got sugar cravings it could also mean lots of bad bacteria are in your stomach. Which is why Ceylon Cinnamon is also an excellent idea. It takes out the bad bacteria without harming the good bacteria. In Sri Lanka they generally put a pinch of Cinnamon in many curries. They didn’t have refrigerators those days and the Cinnamon was probably a great way to keep any bad bacteria at bay.  They also discovered Ceylon Cinnamon adds a fabulous savory taste with deep flavors to curries, soups and stews when combined with things like tomato, cumin, lime, lemon and the like.

The fears of the Covid vaccine is understandable. Marcus Aurelius the Roman emperor known as the good emperor said “It is not death that a man should fear, but never beginning to live”. We will all die, but should we live in such fear that we forget to live? The benefits of the Covid vaccine at least the Pfizer vaccine more than outweighs any risks. Getting together with family and friends becomes normal. Even the most reclusive of us need people. If there is an elderly relative or a young child you reduce the risk of infecting them if vaccinated. Wearing those troublesome masks will become a thing of the past. Many employers especially in critical industries will not offer you employment. You get to travel freely. If you are single you can date again with less fear. And should something go wrong the United States government has the Counter Measures Injury Compensation program that takes care of you for any possible side effects caused by a Covid vaccine. Now that is a good guarantee. We are so lucky to have the best vaccine and insurance while other countries are crying for any vaccine. I got mine and nothing has fallen off yet. I would rather live well than die slowly from fear. Sometimes we have to have a little courage and be pragmatic. Life never goes according to plan.

I have not taken any vaccination, medication or supplements for over ten years. And not been sick either. But the Corona virus has me keen to get the vaccine. My parents got it and they had zero side effects. Did you know that you absolutely cannot get the Covid-19 virus from the vaccination? The greatest risk would be from side effects, but they have been statistically insignificant. It maybe because the ingredients in the vaccine are very simple. Take a look at our blog post as we delve deeper into the Covid-19 vaccine.

Wishing everyone good health in 2021.

Einstein was right. Knowledge is limited. Imagination is everything. Take Ceylon Cinnamon. First it was used a preservative because in ancient times we didn’t have refrigerators. Adding Ceylon Cinnamon allowed people to keep food from spoiling for longer. Then people discovered mixing it with citrus like orange, lemon and lime added a wonderful taste combination. More imagination and experimentation led to the discovery it works very well with spices like ginger, cumin, coriander, anise #cloves #cardamom, turmeric and nutmeg. Creating recipes with deep multi layered flavors. In Mexico they started combining it with chocolate and started making Cinnamon stick tea. And more imagination lead to the discovery it has powerful health properties. People in cold climates discovered it keeps you warm in winter. Others discovered the scent of Ceylon cinnamon Bark Oil improves the mood and reduces irritability. More imagination led to the discovery that Ceylon Cinnamon is a wonderful sugar substitute, negating the need to use so much sugar. What can your imagination discover about Ceylon Cinnamon?
