Food - What is Food - Real Food? Kale Salad

Food - Do we really know what REAL food is anymore?

Real - Whole - Food...

Think about it...  Have you had any Real - Whole - Food today?  By that I mean, have you had fresh produce, cut it up, and prepared it how you wanted it, not from a package, or can.

Now you could have gotten it from the freezer, but even then you have to watch the ingredients.  Read the label and find out, has whoever processed that food, in that package, put preservatives on that food?  If they have, then you can't really count it as whole food.  Whole food doesn't have added preservatives.

I find it interesting that there are VERY limited restaurants that have Real - Whole - Foods on their menus.  They try, but what they have isn't really nutrient dense. 

Now don't get me wrong, there are a lot of good restaurants, with good food, and more now with the food network shows promoting good preparation of whole foods, great tasting, chef made, with fresh ingredient, dishes.

But the question is, are there foods that don't have the preservatives, and additives, or even are they non- GMO?

This week I challenge you to add to your daily intake, one fresh piece of green produce.  At best, try preparing it raw, uncooked.  If you can't do that, then just slightly blanch or steam letting it be bright green.  

Here is one idea for a green to add.

Kale Salad

One bunch of Kale - Chop Kale into small pieces
Lemon juice - squeeze the juice of a whole fresh lemon
Lime Juice - squeeze the juice of a whole lime
sunflower seeds - 1/4 cup of sprouted raw seeds
red onion - chop desired amount of red onion (to your liking)
grated Ginger  - small amount of grated ginger

mix with hands - massage it kind of squeezing the kale (this breaks down the kale a bit and makes the flavors of it soften.

Add whatever else you would like - here are a few ideas
 mushrooms
gogi berries
hemp hearts
nutritional yeast
olive oil
avacado
sea salt


Then toss if you add these items or more.  Plate and enjoy!!

Fill out the form and then schedule your Holistic Health history with Lynn today!  The appointment can be done via the internet, google chat, skype, or at her practice location if you live in the Portland, Oregon area.  These appointments are held in the evenings and weekends, Pacific Time.

Investor Request - Are you interested in the health of our country and have money to invest?

If there are any investors out there who would want to invest in a great idea to bring wonderful, health, good tasting, whole food to travelers around the US, contact me. 

I have a great idea, that I believe is wanted, desired, and needed in our airports, (Just to start). 

Being a Raw plant based Foodist now since February 2013, AND traveling a lot, it has been eye opening, on how lacking the choices are for nutrient dense Raw foods. 

If travelers had these choices, they would not only fill their tummies with great nutrition, they would also feel better while traveling. 

I have the knowledge of Holistic Health and vision for this endeavor - You have the money and potentially other talents and expertise to add. 

I would love to chat with you about this Vision and Business Plan.

Thyroid Function - Is your Thyroid Function off?

In my 20's and early 30's I had Hashimotos and Hyperthyroidism, and for the most part didn't know.  At 36, and pregnant they found a nodule on my thyroid.  It was folicular and papillary carcinoma.  Since that time I have learned a lot about thyroid issues and how to live without a thyroid.

If your thyroid is not functioning properly you may want to consider changing some things in your diet.  You are what you eat, and our endocrine system takes a huge hit from the 'food like substances' we as a society eat.

Don't take your body for granted.  Can food really heal my body?  Yes, REAL food can.  If you have questions and would like guidance to regain heal.  Schedule an appointment with me.  It doesn't matter where you live, we can have a phone consultation, or skype.


Thyroid info and nutrition you can change to improve your thyroid function. 

Selenium: Produces and regulates the T3 hormone and is a mineral critical for the proper functioning of your thyroid gland. It can be found in foods such as shitake mushrooms and brazil nuts.


Zinc, Iron and Copper: You only need these minerals in trace amounts. If you have low levels of zinc, your TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) can show low.  If you have iron deficiencies, you could have a decreased thyroid efficiency. Copper helps the production of thyroid hormones. Foods such as, spinach, mushrooms, turnip greens and Swiss chard are great to have in your diet to help get these minerals into your body.


Omega-3 Fats: We know play a huge role in endocrine health and especially thyroid function.


Coconut Oil: Coconut oil is made up of mostly medium-chain fatty acids and has many different health modes.  Just taking a tablespoon a day of Coconut oil is healthy for many funcitions within your body, one of which may help to increase metabolism, along with thyroid benefits.

Antioxidants and B Vitamins: Oxidative stress can damage the thyroid.  So by adding antioxidants and B Vitamins your body will neutralize the oxidative stress in your body helping your entire endocrine system, especially your thyroid function.  The manufacture of thyroid hormone in the body can be promoted by vitamin B intake and plays an important role in healthy thyroid function.

Stay away from soy, gluten and aspartame, for thyroid function but for any reason.  Soy and aspartame should not be part of anyone's diet.
