Sue Becker had the recent pleasure of talking with Chelsea Blackbird, The Christian Nutritionist, and with Chelsea's permission, we are also sharing their conversation with you today.

Chelsea's story is sure to resonate with many, as over the years, she began to question the anti-bread and anti-grain teachings that give contradiction to God’s Word. This is when she was introduced to Bread Beckers, where she began to listen to Sue's teachings that lead to her to gaining a whole, new understanding of the unique health benefits of real, whole grains. Then, after 10 years of being gluten-free, Chelsea decided to make a radical change and introduce real bread, made from freshly ground flour, into her diet.

Be sure to tune back in next week as we continue with Part 2 of their conversation.

When Sue Becker speaks about whole-grains, she is including all foods that are the seed of the plant as well as the fruit of the plant, which of course, would include both grains and beans.

Beans are one of the most versatile and commonly eaten foods throughout the world. In fact for many people groups, beans and rice are a staple food if not one of the only foods readily available for them.

Dry beans are also seeds that are considered a very nutrient rich food. Beans are a truly nutrient dense food group and contain only a moderate amount of calories. And, because of their high concentration of health promoting nutrients, consuming more beans has been shown to improve over all health.

We, at Bread Beckers, love to hear stories of improved health - especially from those who have begun to mill their own grain and make their own bread.

Darrell Bice definitely has a story that may sound very familiar to some. He was suffering from many stomach issues that left doctors baffled and confused. These symptoms prohibited him from living a normal life, which included not being able to travel far from home and always needing to know the location of the nearest restroom.

We know that you will be just as blessed and encouraged by his story as we are!

Topics mentioned in this episode: stomach issues, digestive disturbances, IBS, irritable bowel syndrome

In this episode of Sue's Healthy Minutes, Sue Becker introduces us to another little seed that we will want to include in our whole foods menu - Buckwheat. But, in spite of its name, buckwheat is not related to wheat at all, nor is it even a grain.

Buckwheat, however, can be used in similar ways to grains. It can be milled into flour, boiled whole and eaten, and even enjoyed raw to add a little crunch to salads or granola.

Buckwheat flour is also an excellent choice for making pancakes, muffins, and crepes. Crepes made with buckwheat flour are less delicate, and this allows them to work very well when used as wraps and tortillas.

Today, Sue Becker continues our journey in exploring the goodness of whole grains, by introducing one of her favorite little grains – Millet.

Contrary to popular belief, Millet is not just a birdseed. Millet is far too nutritious and delicious to just be given to the birds, and in this episode, Sue confirms this for us, as she also reveals that the Farmer's Almanac has officially declared 2023 to be the International Year of Millet.

In today's episode, Sue Becker gets a little "corny" as she continues to inspire us to be adventurous with our whole-grain choices.

Corn tends to get a bad rap, that's why Sue encourages us to know our sources. Corn is also at the top of the list for food allergies, so Sue includes information about the corn components that most likely cause adverse reactions.

Over the years, Sue Becker has been asked many questions, and one that has possibly been asked more than others is, "What is a serving?" In this episode, Sue begins to answer this exact question.

Sue answers this question regarding fruits and vegetables, and of course, whole grains. She also combats the phrase, "Eating healthy is expensive" and gives great healthy alternatives to expensive grocery store snacks.

There is such a diversity in the world of grains that one should never get bored with the varieties available, and today, Sue Becker focuses on one that is sometimes a less popular grain of choice by many - Rye.

Rye is unique, versatile, and very nutritious. It is most popular in many areas of the world with harsh weather conditions, due to its ability to grow in extremely cold climates. It can also be considered superior when looking for weight-loss alternatives.

If Rye is not suitable to your taste, Sue also gives alternate uses for Rye, other than just as bread.

Most Americans seem to make a New Year’s Resolution to lose weight, so today, Sue Becker delivers some good news to those who feel that cutting whole grains from their diet may help them obtain this goal.

Sue reveals a study, performed at the University of Kentucky, which shows that by adding whole grains (freshly milled at home) to our diets, we are more likely to lose weight, while also lowering our cholesterol, correcting blood sugar levels, and reversing multiple bowel issues.
