Shopping for the Condictive Diet - Breads & Grains

Typically, the first major symptom is digestive disorders.  These foods simply do not provide the enzymatic fortitude within the microflora of the gut to digest food.  Grains in particular are difficult to digest because they have only recently been introduced into our diet in the last 10,000 years which is nothing compared to the millions of years our cells have been adapting to a grain-free buffet of vitamins, EFA's, minerals, and amino acids.  And actually, it has only been in the last 100 years that grain consumption has become a dangerously major portion of the common diet.  This is why people develop allergies to it.  It is overly consumed and the body has a difficult time digesting it as well as metabolizing and detoxing the many chemicals that come with it care of commercial farming.  These by products build up, get in the way of healthy cell functioning and the body in turn, turns against it and provides symptoms to let  you know it doesn't want it anymore.

Many people are actually allergic to the grains in alcohol and this can actually serve to develop an addiction to alcohol.

Gluten is also an unhealthy component of many grains.  The fact alone that gluten is often used for stamp and envelope glues should scare anyone away.  Gluten is acid forming which throws off the gut's pH and makes it impossible to efficiently digest.  Not digesting well leads to malnutrition and this leads to imbalanced brain chemistry.  Gluten is sticky and gummy and literally lines the walls of the intestines which causes damage and malabsorption of nutrients.  This gumming up of the intestines is also experienced by tissue and blood cells throughout the body.  Cells become clogged and are unable to breath, detoxify- (eliminate poisons from within the cell wall), ingest nutrients, and communicate with other cells.  This sets the stage for many degenerative diseases- and if you follow the increased grain consumption reports, you will see that degenerative diseases have become epidemic with the increase of grain in the American diet.  Sugars and grains are the two most dangerous products when it comes to these diseases and many others.

So, what is the best way to include breads in your diet?  First, make sure you are not allergic.

Definitely steer clear of refined grains which are mucous forming and are glue-like in your intestines.  Refined grains are also a key player in developing neurotransmitter deficiencies and brain chemistry imbalances which can lead to addictive biochemistry.

Definitely avoid commercially farmed grains.  They are drenched in pesticides and many times are genetically modified.  Use organic always!

Avoid gluten containing grains such as wheat, barley, rye, oatmeal, and spelt.  Whole grain rice can be enjoyed occasionally, but rice is acid forming so keep it to a minimum.

The good for you grains that are actually seeds but pass as grains on the plate are millet, quinoa, amaranth and buckwheat.

Sprouted is preferred for many reasons, sprouting actually reduces the acids in grain which protect you from pH imbalances and serve to better digest the grain.

Also, look for seed (pumpkin, sunflower, etc.) breads, they are typically higher in protein and lower in carbs.

No sugar!

No soy!  And this includes soy lecithin which is commonly labeled as "vegetable oil".

A little honey or molasses once you are on the Ark program after the Krispy Kleen Detox is okay.

And remember, do the right thing for your body and you do the right thing for the planet!
