Nutritional Likes and Dislikes

broccoli and toddlerWe all have likes and dislikes in our nutritional diet, don’t we?  In the energy science we call them cravings that are physiologic and nonphysiologic  The former should be satisfied like being thirsty after sweating a lot  But the latter are problematic for us  and often stem from our past history, friends, teachers, but some are darn right desires that try as we might we can’t explain why we avoid or are attracted to them.

So we like things such as coffee, tomatoes, carbonated drinks, hot spices everyday, animal foods such as beef, duck, lamb, pork. We all have that salivation list.

If we look at these through the lens of an energy science nutritional approach we find them as yea and nay, that is yes for you but not for another; and vice versa no for you and yes for the other.

But there are foods and drinks that are universally Nay for everyone and Yea for everyone. Take a look.

Nays  Raw tomatoes, bread with yeast(not toasted), miso, store bought yogurt, pork and lamb, chocolate, coffee, hard liquor, carbonated drinks, icy cold drinks, white sugar, and poor food combinations.

Yeas  Sweet apples, applesauce, sweet berries and cherries, cooked beets, cooked carrots, green beans, cooked leeks, okra, cooked peas, sweet potatoes, summer squash, seitan, sprouted wheat bread(nonyeasted), split mung dal, goat’s milk cottage cheese, egg whites, freshwater fish, ghee, aloe vera, sweet berry juice, tea, grain coffee, grape and mango juice, peach nectar, all the cooling spices, supplements such as calcium magnesium and zinc in moderate amounts, chlorella.

Three observations come to mind for me. There are more yeas than nays. YEA!

Secondly the nays have a lot of attractiveness to them for us in general. White sugar, chocolate are screamers but bread with yeast(if not toasted), and carbonated drinks are also engaging as well.

And lastly, the message is that no matter what energy pattern combination you are as revealed at foodsheal.com there is plenty to eat without risking nutritional imbalance. What a deal, huh?

The Origin of IC: What It Means To You

Einstein and R with NatureThe traditional healing systems such as Ayurveda from India and the Traditional Oriental Medical system both saw the body as an energy field and built elaborate healing sciences around the concept that the body is an energy field.  Today we know from Einstein that this is indeed correct, that what is energy is matter and what is matter is energy, from the famous equation E=MC2.

One of the greatest gifts that the energy science of Ayurveda gives us is the understanding of how all diseases begin in the body.  Ayurveda began with this understanding 5000 years ago and the Greeks who were students of the medical disciplines of India began to realize this as well, hence leading to the above quote from Hippocrates that all diseases begin in the gut.

But this observation of the gut and disease is difficult to understand from the molecular model of the allopathic tradition.  It’s only when we see that the accumulation of imbalancing qualities that leads to deficient agni  Over time these qualities circulate and energetically affect other tissues.  In the IC bladder pain syndrome(intersititial cystitis, vulvodynia, chronic prostatitis, IBS, GERD, and fibromyalgia) the tissues of the nervous system in advanced cases become the landing point due again to low agni that cause the advanced symptoms of IC.

So this simple observation from the energy science healing traditions can give our current matter field healing discipline valuable insight as to the propagation of disease and the interrelationship of disease and food.

And this observation is why nutrition is central to prevention of disease!  Eating foods that resonate with your own physiology on a regular basis, avoiding poor food combinations, ensuring a good digestive fire to burn slip ups, and paying attention to the interrogatories of nutrition will ensure optimal health.

The Meaning of Food Combinations and IC: 3 Things That You Can Do

What Are You Looking For question asking your mission, goal, queThose with IC know that  acidity has something to do with their bladder pain and other symptoms either intuitively or reading what others have to say about IC and its causative factors

This leads to a large number of dietary recommendations to eliminate the acidity from the diet and to reduce symptoms of pelvic pain

You can go a long way toward resolution of your symptoms if you do fundamental changes in your nutritional format just by eliminating known trigger foods from your food choices  But as I have written before what foods to avoid often comes down to “who’s doing the eating?” because from an energy science viewpoint the nutritional format can be meaningful

Food Incompatibility

At times we don’t know that what we are eating is making us sick  Did you know that pain from IC can also be related to the acidic loading that occurs from poor food combining?

Some foods don’t belong with one another  For example, fruit with any other food is commonly practiced yet it can lead to poor digestion and symptoms of bloating and abdominal pain if done frequent enough  In the energy science of Ayurveda every food has qualities and when foods are combined which are antagonistic to one another they may be toxic to the mindbody

Here’s a list for you to consider

Beans Fruit, cheese, eggs, fish, milk, meat, yogurt
Eggs Fruit (especially melons), beans, cheese, fish, kichari, MILK, meat, yogurt
Fruit As a rule, with any other food. *There are exceptions, such as certain cooked combinations, as well as dates and milk which have the same rasa, virya, and vipaka.
Grains Fruit, tapioca
Honey ** With equal GHEE by weight (e.g. 1 tsp honey with 3 tsp ghee); boiled or cooked honey
Hot Drinks Mangos, cheese, fish, meat, starch, yogurt
Lemon Cucumbers, milk, tomatoes, yogurt
Melons EVERYTHING — especially dairy, eggs, fried food, grains, starches. Melons more than most fruit should be eaten alone or left alone.
Milk BANANAS, cherries, melons, sour fruits, bread containing yeast, fish kitchari
Nightshades, e.g., potato, tomato Melon, cucumber, dairy products
Radishes Bananas, raisins, milk
Tapioca Fruit, especially banana, mango, beans, raisins, jaggary
Yogurt Fruit, cheese, eggs, fish, hot drinks, meat, MILK, nightshades

A strong digestion which I’ll cover in the future is the most important physiologic tool to deal with poor food combining aside from not combining in the first place

An Energy Science Nutritional Approach

From an energy science approach nutrition is more than diet   The study of diet concerns itself wit h molecules of the food ingested   But nutrition takes into account not only the qualities of the foods taken in and how these qualities interact but also the impact of the digestion of foods on the mindbody physiology   This is a very significant difference between matter science and energy science nutrition

So here are 3 things that you can do right now to stop or reduce the flares of IC

1 Check out who you are energetically

2 Choose a nutritional format appropriate for your mindbody energy makeup

3 Go to the orange box and sign up to become a member our growing IC Ayurvedic energy science community

IC and Eggs: 3 Tips for Their Use

chicken and eggThe pain of IC can be unpredictable which is distressing anxiety provoking in itself  Let alone that you have to contend with the IC bladder pain syndrome(interstitial cystitis, vulvodynia, chronic prostatitis, IBS, GERD, and fibromyalgia)

And sometimes diet suggestions of well meaning matter science dieticians(RD) work and sometimes they don’t  Much of the current state of dietary recommendations is anecdotal even though touted as good molecular science  Diet recommendations are not as exact a science as we would like   If you feel good then the recommendations must be correct  If you’re not feeling good then that information makes the foods consumed in question

But what would it be like if you knew exactly what to eat according to your mindbody energy makeup regardless of how you felt after eating foods?  For example if you ate a piece of sweet apple pie and soon had a flare and then had ketchup and tomatoes on a burger with no flare, what gives?   The sweet apple pie shouldn’t have given a flare and the tomatoes should have  Very confusing and yet that is the state of our current dietary molecular knowledge

So to know exactly what to eat and know that it is correct for you regardless of symptoms is very valuable  Let’s see how this plays out with a particular food that is molecularly recommended as good when you’re having a flare

Eggs and IC

From an energy science point of view egg whites are an excellent choice for everyone  And you can separate the white from the yolk in prepartion or simply buy egg whites in the store

But egg yolks?  They should be used once or twice per week   Why?   If you recall acidic loading is the hallmark of all inflammatory conditions including IC  If you look at the molecular constituency of egg yolks they are loaded with fatty acids  From an energy science nutritional view any acid is inflammatory although some more than others based on other factors

Therefore eggs (white plus yolk) in moderation is the energy science recommendation  Not particularly useful for flares as the matter science dietary advice recommends  In short egg yolks have the potential of causing IC pain

What Gives?  Flare But Eating According to Recommendations

This is a simple question with a somewhat complex answer  It may be that the flare pain is related to past foods consumed two to three days ago that along with other foods produce an aggregating effect  It may be that the foods taken in were not appropriate according to your energy mindbody makeup  It may be that your digestion is not up to par(that’s a whole different topic and for another blog post)

Or it may be this represents a release   What’s a release?

If you’re doing everything nutritionally correct then the mindbody necessarily want to release excess energy patterns(in this case Pitta and Vata) to bring about balance

The bottom line  There is no guesswork with energy science medicine  It’s clear, scientific and it works to cure IC pain!

What Can You Do Right Now?  Some Useful Tips

1 Eat according on one’s constitutional makeup  Go to foodsheal.com right now and take the quiz    Then choose the appropriate nutritional format and print the pdf format off so you have it to follow  This will help show you how often you can use whole eggs

2 Egg white substitutes  If you want to use eggs more than twice per week even though they are in the moderation column then you can use egg whites

3  Read the incompatable food combination list and print off that file as well and post both on your refrigerator so you can reference them regularly  Avoid milk with eggs, fruit with eggs, meat with eggs, cheese and beans with eggs
