Welcome back and I have a post today about one of my new and better habits for a better life, I have decided to teach myself how to view food for its nutritional value and to choose food and menus that give me good nutrition, no chemicals, no hormones or fertilizers in my body, fresh organic food and to eat every three hours but small portion of no denature foods, more organic vegetables and fruits.
Today we are covering Alkaline Cereals, organic and gluten free.

Learn to see food as a source of nutrition for the body, a source of energy and to eat certain foods depending on your constitutional archetype which is a reflection of energy balance in your body. All dis-ease is a manifestation of disharmony in the body and it is caused by the energy that we live in; our thoughts, self talk, emotions, the food that we use to nourish our body, the way that we cook and preserve the food that we eat and the environment we live in which it is our extended body; color, air, relationships, living beings around us and the flow of energy in our lives.
Love your body. Love your-self and eat healthy. :)
