Nourishing Basics Cookbook

INTRODUCTION

The Nourishing Basics Cookbook provides basic nutrition information and delicious recipes for healthy meals, which are quick and easy to prepare.  Food is a substance that nourishes and promotes growth.  If food does not provide nourishment or promote growth, it is a pollutant to avoid.  Nourish your family and yourself with fresh, wholesome food in its natural state.

Choose a variety of colors when planning your meals.  The brighter the color naturally, the higher the amount of vitamins and minerals in the food.  Each color indicates a different mineral.  For example, the natural sodium in yellow and orange foods is good for the stomach, digestion, and joint mobility.  The iron in red, purple, and brown foods is good for the liver and blood.  The magnesium in green foods calms and cleanses the body.  The calcium in white foods helps to build strong bones and teeth.

READ the Ingredients section of all products you buy and learn about the companies and people behind them.  Choose companies committed to providing healthy products with quality ingredients rather than merely profiteering by using the cheapest ingredients possible.

Whenever possible, use organic ingredients.  Select fresh, tender, well-shaped fruits and vegetables with bright colors.  For protein, choose fresh or frozen quality products and grass-fed meats.  Organic frozen foods from reputable companies provide a second choice when fresh organic food is unavailable.  Never overcook, sear, or burn anything to preserve enzymes and nutrients.
