Popcorn is Not a Food. Coffee is a Stimulant.

Popcorn is not a food.  Coffee is a stimulant.  Giving up coffee and popcorn will cut you loose from two addicting foods.  They are not needed to live a happy, healthy, abundant life.  The promises they hold out are false, and they are not needed.  The goal is "everything you need, and nothing you don't".

Popcorn is not a food.  Addiction to non-food items, such as clay, ice, and POPCORN, could indicate the need for more minerals from leafy greens.  When the craving for a non-food item hits, ask yourself how you can give the body more minerals.

Coffee is a stimulant - pulling from the reserves of energy.  There is no energy in the coffee.  The energy surge is coming from the body's stored energy, leaving you poorer in the end.  Stopping the energy leaks will allow the body to begin to build up vitality.Stimulants take a heavy toll.  

Do you use stimulants to drown out that inner voice that is saying, "You are not good enough"?  That is the ego talking.  The ego is not the truth teller, though.  The ego always speaks first - and loudest.  Realize it for what it is.  The truth will speak in a stiller, smaller voice.

The choice is Head vs Heart.  Giving up addictive foods...such as coffee and popcorn...will make it easier to hear the still, small voice.

Stimulants and addictive substances have a negative impact on the pineal gland...the seat of the soul...the sixth sense.  Descartes said it is the location of the mind.  The pineal gland produces melatonin in the dark, while we sleep.  Melatonin regulates our body rhythms.  As we age the pineal gland calcifies and melatonin production decreases, which triggers the aging process.

Dopamine connects to spiritual experiences and the pineal gland.  It can become narcotic because it puts your mind ahead of your body.  When dopamine is increased, you can have insomnia.  You overwork the adrenals, and mess with your pineal gland and intuition.  It puts you out of balance.
You are resistant to giving up coffee because it is connected to the feel good hormone dopamine which influences the pineal gland.

As I get back on track with my biogenic lifestyle, I will be required - led by the heart - to let go of caffeine.  It is not needed.

Walked 3.10 miles yesterday.

Yesterdays Food:
I had coffee and popcorn both.  That is why the morning pages spoke to me about eliminating those two foods.

Lunch:  1/2 papaya, kiwi, coconut, apple, almond butter, 1/2 avocado, 1/2 grapefruit, 2 small slices of raw milk cheese, trail mix.

Lunch - I didn't eat the banana.

Dinner:  chopped salad with dressing, seaweed tamari crackers, sauerkraut, 1/2 avocado, cooked cabbage.

Dinner salad with crackers. Reading material is a lesson from my Natural Hygiene course.
Salad:  bagged salad, tomato, onion, pickle, cucumber, carrot, celery, Topped with chopped avocado.



Lucy looks pretty with her new haircut.

Happy in the Garden

Yesterday I worked in the garden instead of walking around the neighborhood.  It is a different feeling. It's true that I only got in about 6500 steps by the end of the day instead of over 10,000, but it was a different feeling.  Travis planted some tomatoes and peppers, I cleaned the lower deck and pulled some weeds.  Lucy dug in the dirt and felt so happy.  I felt the same way. Working in the garden makes you feel happy and productive. I was puzzled by a plant growing in the herb garden as a weed.  I started pulling them out but decided to check if they are edible.  Edible weeds, such as dandelion,  can be used in our smoothies.  I put a picture on Facebook to ask for help identifying the weed, and the consensus is that it is plantain.  Some say edible and some say not, but I am inclined to think that it is edible.  My brother, Max, lives up in the mountains, and his neighbor says it is edible and the smallest leaves are best with...

The Lou Corona Story

Yesterday, we went to Magic Springs with our daughter, son-in-law and three grandchildren.  The landscaping there is beautiful this year.  This one little flower didn't let a little concrete stop it.     Lunch today was three bananas which I ate about 1:30.  I'm letting my body rest a little bit after eating too much food the last couple of days.  I did domestic chores today.  But Travis made a trip to the City Compost Facility for another load of compost.  We'll use it on the trees we still have left to plant. We have a volunteer tomato plant coming up in one of the garden beds.  It's doing pretty well, too.  I have it on my to do list to buy some more tomato cages. The arugula I planted is up. The kale Travis planted is up. The new plum tree is planted. Here is a volunteer Poke Salat that came with the blueberry plant.  Travis planted some more blueberries in the blueberry row that lines our driveway. The...

Alko Shredder

 It was chilly this morning, but I got out and worked a bit in the garden bed that had the strawberries moved out yesterday.  I fed it with the mineral supplement and fertilizer.  I started putting on compost, but ran out of time before I finished.  We are going to plant some kale in this bed. Bed #3 weeded, minerals added, fertilized, and partly composted. Travis and I went to an estate sale today.  First thing we saw was a garden shredder.  We bought it for $60.00 and brought it home.  There are lots of leaves in my yard that could be shredded. Our new used Alko shredder...made in Germany.    For dinner tonight I made a soup.  The inspiration came from Dara Dubinet on her You-tube video, but mine was different because I used what we had. My vegetable soup recipe:  Juice a beet, 6 carrots, 3 broccoli stalks, and a sweet potato.  Then heat a pot of water on the stove, but do not boil.  In the Vita-Mix, put 3 med...
