From Brian Clement
A good way to keep your body free of congestion is by vigorous daily exercise. Unless you are active, your body deteriorates very quickly. The fact that your body contains more than 700 muscles is an undeniable indication of the fact that your body is created to be active. Many people habitually fall into the trap of inactivity, thereby experiencing the catch-22 vicious cycle, whereby one avoids exercise because he is grossly out of shape, while the reason that one is out of shape is that he does no exercise!
You must be determined and motivated to exercise daily, thereby eradicating the restrictions — physical, mental and emotional, that result from inactivity. Sluggishness of body, thought and feeling is manifested as a pervasive internal stagnation that constrains most of the organs to function at only a percentage of their capacity, which inevitably results in a toxic accumulation. An improper diet and lack of exercise constitute a potentially-literally-deadly combination.
When you exercise vigorously, you are giving your body a thorough house cleaning. Among the important functions of your bloodstream, three are particularly-health-promoting and very much benefited by exercise.
The bloodstream carries nutrients that are extracted from the food that you eat to every cell in your body. Exercise facilitates the journey of these nutrients to their destination while, at the same time, generating enormous amounts of oxygen in the bloodstream. The intensely-oxygenated blood helps the nutrients that constitute our fuel to be burned more completely when they reach the cell. It might be more-than-figuratively said that exercise helps to feed our cells.
The bloodstream is also the corporeal sanitation-department, eliminating the residue that remains after the food/fuel has been burned. Every microscopic cell is akin to a tiny oven in which low-level combustion occurs. And, since the body must eliminate large amounts of residue and toxic waste daily, only an unimpeded bloodstream that is powered by vigorous exercise can do the job thoroughly.
An unimpeded bloodstream obviously keeps the veins and arteries open, because it inhibits the accumulation of cholesterol on the inside walls of these channels. Exercise helps to maintain our internal cleanliness and, when arteries and veins are clear of obstructions, blood-pressure is normal. Exercise strengthens the heart, and a strong heart works at a slower but more efficient pace. The more one learns how the body functions, the more one can understand the importance of exercise.
Just got this article and thought of you.
How are you gorgeous goddess? everything ok? still not a 100%, need to go to bed earlier tonight... Yet life is great and I am looking forward to the raw spirit festival next friday, saturday, sunday. Will let you know all about it, i know it is going to be lots of fun.
Haven't made them yet but was thinking that you may like to play with a couple recipes I have in my head. You need to adjust the amount of each ingredients to your taste and/or to achieve the right texture.
Zucchini-sundried tomatoes hummus
2 medium zucchini, peeled and chopped
Sundried tomatoes (1/2 cup or a little more) packed in oil
Garlic, fresh better but dry ok, 1 or 2 cloves or more to taste
Lemon juice, start with 1/4 cup but may require more (i like everything with lots of lemon as you know!!!)
4 tablespoons (up to 6) raw tahini
6 tablespoons sesame seeds (white, soaked) or hemp seeds
Salt (1/2 to 1 teaspoon) or white miso to taste
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Pinch of cayenne, optional
1 or 2 tablespoons of water if needed
Combine all ingredients except the tahini and sesame/hemp seeds in a high-speed blender and puree.
Add sesame seeds and blend until perfectly smooth and creamy.
Add tahini and blend again.
Serve in romaine lettuce leaves and pile on top chopped tomatoes, finely chopped red bell pepper and lots of sprouts. Rehydrated wakame would be nice too!
Red Bell pepper Curry Hummus
2 zucchini, peeled and chopped
1/2 red bell pepper
1 clove garlic
¼ cup sesame tahini
¼ to 1/2 cup hulled (white color) sesame seeds (soaked for 2-3 hrs) or try with unsoaked hemp seeds
2 to 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 or 2 teaspoons curry powder
1/2 teaspoon Himalayan crystal salt
1/2 teaspoon of salade de pecheur or nori flakes
Putting first all the liquid ingredients at the bottom of your high-speed blender, blend until smooth.
Adjust seasonings to taste and enjoy
PS : if too runny add sun-dried tomato powder (blend sun-dried tomatoes, use dry not oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes)
