Video: Fasting for Regeneration

Dear brothers and sisters,

What else is there to do, than proclaim a national fast? Imagine! A day of contrition, a day of healing, a day of just drinking water.

Yes, brothers and sisters,  just water. A day of rejuvenation and repair. A  day of  strengthening the immune system.

A day of losing weight. A day of getting to know one’s neighbors.  A day of rejoicing with colleagues and friends. A day of moms and kids, seniors and elders working together in a community garden.

Your forebears, the greatest generation, led us through in WW2.

You too will lead us through…. the cleansing and regeneration we so desperately need. You will reverse the cultural meltdown.

You have reached the point where you can do anything. If you will it, you can do it. You will redeem us, you will renew us. Together we will yet plant here a garden for the American spirit.

We follow with Ben with GrowVeg who gives us so many useful tips like growing nasturtiums among beans to attract pollinators and testing seeds that have passed the expiration date on the seed packet.

Then there is a recipe for no bake cookies with almond butter as an ingredient.

Macadamia butter is on sale this week. Regularly $20.99 now $17.99.

We have a magnificent video on ultra-processed foods. Given that 60% of the food that we eat is ultra-processed is it any wonder that we spend almost three times more on healthcare than any other country, but rank last in life expectancy among the 12 wealthiest industrialized countries.

Bob and Brad, the most popular physical therapists on the internet then lead us through five stretches to help relieve neck pain.

Your comments are invaluable. We want so much to hear from you.

Please accept our best wishes to you and family for vibrant good health, prosperity and success.

Recipe: Healthy No Bake Cookies

by: Eating Bird Food

recipe image from remote site

Healthy no bake cookies made with half the amount of sugar in traditional no bake cookies and coconut oil instead of butter. Dairy-free, vegan and refined sugar free.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Add melted coconut oil and almond butter in a medium mixing bowl and stir until combined. Add coconut sugar, cocoa powder, almond milk, sea salt, vanilla.

  • If desired you can heat the almond butter cocoa mixture on the stovetop over medium low heat to fully dissolve the coconut sugar, about 5-6 minutes. Sometimes I do this and sometimes I don't. Depends on how much time I have.

  • Add oats to a large mixing bowl and top with almond butter cocoa mixture. Stir until well combined.

  • Add oats to a large mixing bowl and top with peanut butter cocoa mixture. Stir until well combined.

  • Using a small/medium cookie scoop, scoop the dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Use your hands to press the dough down a bit and form the cookies into a cookie shape.

  • Place baking sheet in fridge until cookies are set, then serve. Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 weeks.

Notes

  • No oil version: I’ve also made this recipe with a mashed banana in place of the coconut oil. The cookies will turn out  a little bit more dry without the coconut oil, but still yummy.
  • Sugar: You can use granulated sugar instead of coconut sugar, but you will definitely want to heat the peanut butter cocoa mixture to dissolve the sugar.
