March 10, 2023 Episode 8, How to Learn to Love Cooking, Preparing Ingredients, Gluten Free Baking, Vegan Baking
In this episode we start with some information on properly preparing ingredients to maximize their health benefits. We share some of our secrets when it comes to gluten free baking and vegan baking. I talk a bit about why it’s important to give cooking a crack and as always, some hot tips and opinions thrown in along the way. Our quote this week comes from one of my favorite books, Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon. Bonus Recipe. Chickpea Roti; Blend together 2 cups of filtered water with 250g of organic Besan flour and 1 teaspoon sea salt until smooth. Pour this mixture into a jar or bucket and seal with a lid and leave on the bench overnight (cooler temperature) or in the fridge (warmer temperatures). The next day, using a 1/3 cup, cook the roti batter one roti at a time by pouring the mixture into a well oiled (ghee works well) pan. I use a 20cm neoflam pan. Cook each side until golden brown. These can be stored in a Tupperware in the fridge for a couple of days and reheated as needed. Or you just keep the mixture in the fridge and cook them up as you need them. The mixture lasts one week in the fridge. Enjoy

What is the best water to drink and why.
Ways to support detoxification.
-restructuring your water

How to nail the basics, expose yourself to sunlight, earth, drink good water, reduce toxins.
Toxins to be aware of;
-EMF's/ Wifi
-heavy metals in tap water
-fertilisers and pesticides in our food
-self care products like perfumes, deodorants, moisturisers, make-up etc
Hot tips:
'The solution to pollution is dilution.'
'Don't stop, just swap.'

Daily supportive practices to help detoxification:
-drink clean water
-only use low tox products (beware of marketing and green washing)
-eat organic food and whole foods, the less packaging the better
-practice tongue scraping and oil pulling
-practice skin brushing and body oil massage
-have cold showers
- minimise blue light once the sun has set, if you're looking at screens, wear blue blockers. Do not get sucked in to buying fake blue blockers that look fashionable, see suggestions below.

-infrared sauna
-cryotherapy
-colonics and enemas
-red light therapy
