  Carbohydrates: to Use or Abuse

  Category:  Health

  In a world plagued by food shortage that are reaching crisis level, carbohydrates are the easiest salvation and yet the greatest temptation to abuse. Ironically, the same is true in prosperous countries but for opposite reasons. Where food is desperately needed, vast portions of the ecosystem are obliterated to make way for a small handful of crops, particularly rice and wheat, that can provide abundant, cheap calories to a mass population. In well-fed societies where food can be channeled for diversion rather than raw fuel, refiners mangle natural carbohydrates to produce refined sugar and flour.

  • My carb intake is now well below 100 grams per day and I feel fantastic. My body fat percentage is down from 36.1 to 27.1 and I only work out three days a week for 20-30 minutes per. Much easier than expected after a few weeks but the first two weeks were a little daunting. Mindful eating is key. Always start any endeavor to change with firming up your belief in how good life actually is regardless of any life situations that are in place around you. They are just situations and they are separate from your life. Your life is it`s own entity. Do not confuse the two. Defining this separation is the key to happiness in this world. Once you are empowered with this new sense of separation from life situations you will quickly realize that changes are easier to implement across the board. Try it out, you will see what I mean. Great article! Life is good!

  • This is an absolutely remarkable article on carbs, to consume or not to consume. Thank you so very much for posting it with such extreme detail. I did read/listen on Dr. Andrew Weil`s FB post something about that the new crop of wheat(seeds) or the way wheat is processed in this day and age might contain gluten that is not consumable or causes inflammation(this goes to Dr. Mark Hyman`s point of trying to eat gluten free foods or atleast determine the gluten irritation/inflammation issue) . Dr. Andrew Weil did refer that he used to make gluten at home in the 90`s why is it different now?. I have given up gluten or take a minimal amount of gluten(try the gluten free option 99.99 percent of the time) and have seen a considerable increase in my energy throughout the day sustained energy so there is something to the gluten story. I would implore that people do need to pay attention to the "no white flour" "no white sugar" theory. I have also given up milk/milk products back to the 99.999 percent on that, there is something about the source of cheese and milk that it seems like the amount of hormones that are injected into cows/animals that produce the milk affects us. I also have heard Thich Naht Hanh make a reference to it not being sustainable renewable resource(milk, kind of seems like an unnatural process from an animal) so seem to be ok with giving it up all the more a great believer of renewable/sustainable sources. The more I follow everyone that is saying anything about food sources and health and well-being seems to be revolving around the theme of if it is manufactured in a factory by a human being don`t consume it. So instead of gatorade/powerade drink coconut water, instead of soda drink water or fruit juices, instead of boxed frozen food cook your own meals from fresh produce, clean and green. Being vegetarian my meal mostly consists of carbs(lots of fresh raw fruits and vegetables) so "Two thumbs up for carbs!" else I would have nothing to eat. I don`t think weight gain has anything to do with carbs, I did drink(am intoxicated with) the it is a mind/body/soul kool aid so do work on all aspects of it including the meditation downloads from the Chopra Center so do firmly believe and agree that it is an all round connection, mind/body/soul. Thank you so very much for this enormously informational article. I hope the additional info helps too.

  Presence of God

  Category:  Ask Deepak

  Question:
  
  I understand the good churches can do for people. But I have trouble believing there is a god. Our universe is what... 14 billion years old and there are untold billions of universes. How can a god be present? It's a scientific fact about the big bang theory and the universe is expanding. I don't believe there is a god and the people that told us about this were less educated then us. I think there is nothing that gives the comfort or support mentally of a god and people cannot handle it.... Please your opinion on the age of our universe and the possibility of a god making it. Common sense says otherwise

  • I walked into my corner store today and the owner behind the counter told me that god doesn`t like tattoos. I have a full sleeve that symbolizes letting go . People do live in fear and all I wanted was a couple coffee :-)

  • Yes:) it is the very intelligence at the source of existence, contained within the cosmos, it is our the source and blueprint ... The experience of which cannot be accessed through analyses., only through going in.

  Interconnecting Intentions

  • you have to control over your intention, yes and no,depends of situation, to determinate how people will love you back, this depends on the action you take and the raison why, for this perhaps you need to get inside of they internal world, and be helpfull also undertanding and changes principal, is very delicate process.everyone has the power to change they bleu print. what is a complexe world what we can see, complexe because you can shake in wich dimention you like it. There`s is no free will,our mind respond what as appeal to do, to take action of what concient notion comes in the moment,conciense this notion doen`t come over everytime on us, concience I believe is what the humain don`t have at most, but happens that the brain give us this power. to love back the only way is to enter into they inside world of the mind, on they on vision of life, they paradigme, or in they hole mind. I believe is possible to change mind of humain in all, but they burn very rapidly and it`s impossible to unify them in one square of mind thinking in all. I believe worlds can change the world in one perfect effect.
