December of Miracles To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it Mother Teresa Link to the Dec 2009 Newsletter Highlights of this Newsletter: Together with my good friend and natural healer Vishva (yes, despite his name, he is Israeli), we have just finished leading a 3-week detox program. We were a group of 17 courageous people who decided to take control of our health (both our mothers joined the program!). For 9 days I was mostly on lemon water with maple syrup … ---------------------------------------- Monthly Focus: Synchronisty Being at the right place at the right time “a miracle” Do you ever have those OMG moments? Like when you dial a friend and they text you at the exact same moment? ---------------------------------------- My Healthy tip for Chanukah Consider this: Instead of eating a sufganiya, you can choose a different round option: a dried fig, an apple, an orange, a persimmon… pay attention to how you feel when finishing it, compared to how others feel after eating a sufganiya. It’s an interesting experiment … If you do choose to eat a sufganiya, give it all your attention, sit down, smell it, look at it, chew it slowly, enjoy it, no guilt allowed. ---------------------------------------- Cooking Focus: Baking The Jewish holiday Chanukah which falls this year in mid-December is a Festival of Lights and you might say of Oils too. There is a lot of deep frying and eating very oily foods: Sufganiyot (deep fried dough filled with jam) and Latkes (fried potato patties). I am not at all against oil, but certainly am not for unhealthy, toxic, hydrogenated oils (soy, corn, canola, sunflower…) ---------------------------------------- Recipe of The Month: Healthy Baked Sweet Potato Latkes Going healthy certainly doesn’t mean depriving yourself of the foods you love but rather making a better choice, choosing a healthier option. Have a very bright, synchronistic and mildly oily Chanukah (olive, coconut or baked) |
