In Vegetables We Trust

So I have an obsession with oatly oat milk at the mo, they’re getting a lot of stick for saying that their oat milk is “like milk but made for humans”, but I think they’re pretty rad. I may of said that before, but, its still rad. Their milk is rad, thier oat cream is rad and everything is rad….. RAD.

Viktor Frankl – Meaning from the Noetic

Sevilla King, LICSW

Of the thinkers and artists that have influenced my approach, Viktor Frankl is one of the most instrumental in how I envision healing for my clients. There is a reason Viktor Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning can declare on its cover, “over 12 million copies in print”. Within the slim volume contains some of the most profound ideas for transcendence of suffering that has graced modern thought.

Frankl, in his 4 years in various concentration camps, including Auschwitz, made the profound observation that prisoners who had something to live for upon release, even if the chances of that something actually manifesting were miniscule, had a chance of survival – and in rare cases, could even thrive. Those who did not were doomed. The latter often gave up, lay down and died. Frankl observed that those who had meaning in their lives were much better able to endure suffering, and even…

Sprouted-grain sourdough bread

The day before Yom Kippur we eat 2 meals with bread to feast in preparation for the fast. Sprouted Grain Sourdough Bread Recipe:

The Gourmet Alkaline Lifestyle

5 Benefits to Sourdough Preparation

(taken from Real Food Forager)

Click here for the full article.

1- Increases beneficial lactic acid

The longer rise time needed for sourdough increases the lactic acid and creates an ideal pH for the enzyme phytase. This enzyme breaks down phytates more effectively than in yeast breads. Sourdough rye has the least amount of phytates making it a healthier bread.

2- Predigestion of starches

The bacteria and yeast in the sourdough culture work to predigest the starches in the grains, thus making it more easily digestible to the consumer.

3- Breakdown of gluten

Here again, the longer soaking and rising times in the preparation of sourdough breaks the protein gluten into amino acids, making it more digestible.

4- Preservative

The acetic acid which is produced along with lactic acid, helps preserve the bread by inhibiting the growth of mold.

5- Better blood glucose regulation
