Let's compare therapeutic to conscious
cuisine.
We might as well begin with the concept of consciousness.
CONSCIOUS CUISINE
The first thing to do, to become conscious of your
cuisine, is to check ingredient lists.
Conscious cuisine is free
of:
- synthetic ingredients, including colors and
preservatives
- synthetic sweeteners
- corn syrup / high-fructose corn syrup
[
YES, IT REALLY IS THAT BAD
FOR YOU]
bleached
sugars, including "brown sugar"
trans fats [i.e., hydrogenated & partially hydrogenated
oils]
refined, enriched and bleached flours
hormones
anti-biotics
MSG
It is simple to find "conscious" Oreo-style
cookies. The thing to keep in mind, is the ingredients may not be absolutely
perfect. That is, the "natural cookie" may be loaded in natural sugars.
The natural choice may contain refined oils exposed to high temperatures, which
destroy the therapeutic componant of the oil. The natural cookies may be low in
fibers even though the flours are pesticide-free. Nevertheless, the
conscious cookie will be dramatically more nutrient-dense than its mainstream
version. The conscious version may not be therapeutic, but will have a greater
spectrum of available vitamins, minerals and will often contain some plant
fibers. Plus, you will usually feel better after having ingested them, in
the appropriate dose.
WATCH THE CARBS!
The word "conscious" in the context of
cuisine, indicates ingredients are not, in of themselves, toxic. However, in
large doses, even conscious cuisine can become toxic. As previously mentioned,
conscious cuisine may, at times, contain high amounts of glycemic natural sugars
[e.g., dehydrated cane juice, honey, maple syrup, fruit syrups, dates, raisins, etc.]. These
more nutrient-dense sweetening agents rapidly raise blood sugars just as fast as
their refined counterparts. That's naughty news for diabetics, heart patients,
cancer patients, or anyone suffering from an inflammatory condition aggravated
by lifestyle.
REMEMBER: Sugars and starches are both stored as triglycerides
(blood fats), so overdosing on them aggravates heart disease. Over-dosing on sugars
and starches compromises immunity and triggers generalized inflammation,
switching on an array of symptoms. So, watch the dose... even if the cuisine is
made with conscious ingredients. Lots of sugars and starches can have a toxic
effect.
For instance, these bars are
super-nutrient dense. The first five ingredients tell you, by weight, what the
product consists of... When dates and raisins are listed within the first
five... by weight, the product will be at least 50% dates and/or raisins. These
are high-glycemic sweeteners, although super nutrient-dense.
The Protein + Pulse Bars contain whey
powder within the first five ingredients. Therefore, they will have a lower
glycemic load on the system...per bite... since the protein slows down the rate
sugar enters the bloodstream. The pulse bars with protein are better choices to
manage blood sugars over time. Otherwise, have the Pulse Bar or the "Nice
Bar" with a glass of organic milk,
organic soy milk, or a protein-rich beverage.

THAT SUGAR BUZZ
Munching wildly on sugars and starches in response
to stress or boredom also numbs your senses and keeps you from focusing. To stay
alert throughout the day, watch your dose of carbohydrates, which triggers the
release of serotonin into the mix for a mind-numbing experience. The more sugar
and starch, the more serotonin released. However, because conscious sugars and
starches have been spared the bleaching process, you may feel as if you have
contributed a few vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants to your body's bank
account, instead of robbing it! Nevertheless, watch the dose, if you want to
stay conscious.
THE BALANCING ACT
As a dietitian, I must remind you to balance
carbohydrates with enough protein to control the speed at which sugars and
starches enter your bloodstream. Balancing the right dose of protein with
carbohydrate-rich cuisine will manage blood sugars for roughly 3-5 hours. For
instance, soy milk or organic cow's milk both provide enough protein to balance
a carbohydrate-loaded bowl of fiber-rich, nutrient-dense breakfast cereal,
granola mix or breakfast bar.
 
Muffin
Mix
Cherry and Blueberry Pulse
The nutrient-dense
Muffin Mix contains organic cane sugar. It is used
to whip up super healthy cakes, cookies, pancakes or muffins. Each package makes
12 small or 8 large muffins. Be sure to have your carbohydrate-rich snack with a
glass of organic milk, or a protein-rich beverage.
This mix contains whole-grain flours,
raw seeds, legumes, egg powder, and other whole-food ingredients. This mix also
contains "nopal", an extract from a Mexican cactus. Nopal is a good
source of soluble
and insoluble fiber.
