Therapeutic (Rx) Cuisine

Let's define the concept of "cream of the crop, therapeutic cuisine". 

The Rx food, beverage, spice or herb assists in healing by nourishing cells, helping the body rid of toxins, 
and achieving homeostasis [i.e., BALANCE]. Rx cuisine may help to manage moods and inflammation 
with omega-3's, or pH balancing elements...or both... like the phyto-plankton (raw green food from the sea) 
I mention in my Top Ten Favorite Rx Cuisine article. Some Rx cuisine may even help balance blood sugars 
with specials herbs or may be low glycemic. 

The Rx cuisine may contain nutrient-dense ingredients or enough protein to build lean mass. 
Like conscious cuisine, therapeutic cuisine is usually rich in phyto-nutrient-density. As always, 
check the ingredient list to avoid synthetic sweeteners, corn syrup, high-fructose corn syrup, 
bleached sugars, enriched flours, and trans fats [i.e., hydrogenated & partially hydrogenated oils]. 
Like Conscious cuisine, therapeutic ingredients will NEVER include synthetic hormones, anti-biotics, 
MSG, synthetic colors and preservatives. But, here's the difference. Therapeutic foods go the extra mile, 
to assist in healing body, mind and spirit.

  • Rx cuisine contains moderate amounts of sugars  
    [ratio: 15 grams of protein to 20 grams of carbohydrate]
  • Rx cuisine avoids using refined fats, 
    like poly-unsaturated oils exposed to high temperatures, 
    which are loaded with free radicals, to trigger low-grade inflammation
  • Oils are "cold pressed", "unrefined", and ideally stored in dark bottles 
    since exposure to light degrades oil and creates inflammation-forming free radicals.
  • Rx cuisine with nuts/seeds are raw, not roasted
    RAW Nuts and RAW seeds contain therapeutic essential oils.
    Be sure to store them in the refrigerator to retain their phyto-fat nutrient density.
  • Rx Cuisine avoids using carrageenan, which, according to Andrew Weil, M.D., 
    an integrative medical pioneer, "causes low-grade inflammation" in the body.
  • Products containing chocolate are NEVER treated with alkali,  
    which uses a process that destroys chocolate's inherent therapeutic properties.
  • Rx cuisine contains fibers to assist in balancing hormones naturally, 
    cleaning the digestive tract and managing blood sugars and fats.
  • Rx cuisine is "clean": spared exposure to herbicides, fungicides and pesticides  
    which acidify your system.

As you eat to nourish on a cellular level, you become leaner, healthier and energized. 
I CALL IT A METABOLIC MAKEOVER! When munching on healing cuisine, focus on products 
listed on the therapeutic grocery guide more often. That means products containing less sugar 
and starch per serving. Especially, if you suffer from diabetes, metabolic syndrome, 
cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, hormonal imbalances, eating disorders, or inflammation. 

It is possible to reduce blood pressures and blood fats. You can balance hormones, naturally, 
with phyto-estrogens and plant fibers. Manage inflammation and moods with omega 3's and greens.
 Food truly is medicinal. So, relax, and quiet your mind. Let your body talk to you. 
It knows exactly what it needs.

inflammation! It's about achieving physical, mental, and emotional balance. 


SKIN FOOD

  • Because skin is an organ, consider, that it "drinks" and "eats" substances it comes into contact with. So, the concept of therapeutic foods encompasses those ingested internally as well as the stuff your skin comes into contact with! That includes creams, lotions, hair products, as well as cleaning solutions for your bathroom and kitchen. What you place on your skin can be toxic or therapeutic. 
  • For instance, essential oils mixed into massage oils, can create a mind-body-soul healing experience. Arnica can be applied externally for healing, or as a poultice or salve. Vinegar is a wonderful cleaning aid, and aids in supporting the immune system. So, as you become more conscious of what you put in your body, begin to consider what substances your skin comes into contact with.

In summary, conscious cuisine is not necessarily therapeutic. 
But, therapeutic cuisine is always conscious

PLUS, what you put on your body, is just as important as what you put in your body. 

As you can see, to be considered therapeutic, in my book, 
the guidelines are stringent, yet many of the products available 
in today's natural products marketplace have enormous integrity. 
And, I am here to introduce all of the options to you.
