The Key to Self-Healing is High Energy Nourishment! (Energy Soup)
-- from www.chiDiet.com, Lesson 6
Many easy-to-digest foods are consumed in the Living Foods Program. Most North Americans have low hydrochloric acid, which will increase as we eat Living Foods. By blending Living Foods, enzymes and other nutrients are easier for the body to assimilate. Energy Soup gives our cells fuel to nourish, which provides for self-healing in the quickest possible way. Also, it's easy to prepare.
Energy Soup is best taken about 5 times per day in small amounts (one cup or less per serving). Prepared with Rejuvelac, it's good for 2 days. You can add grated fruit or vegetables. Fruits are cleansers and greens are healers. Chewing is important so the food mixes with saliva and the body can better begin the digestive process. We suggest that you eat some energy soup most days for the first year of your rejuvenation.
There are many recipes for Energy Soup. If you are diabetic, don't add beets initially. Most energy soup recipes consist of:
1) Rejuvelac, or lemon and water, and sea vegetables
2) un-sweet fruit (eg. tomatoes, cucumbers, sweet pepper) or squash
3) sweet fruit
4) celery - for salt / potassium
5) greens
6) avocado (or banana, or sesame seeds, or sunflower seeds) - to thicken
7) shredded fruit, veggies or dehydrated soup chunks - to chew
Have some leftover energy soup? Dehydrate it to use as snack food. Or add flax seeds and seasonings to make dehydrated crackers.
Remember: If we eat food without chewing properly (perhaps because of inadequate teeth), if we over-drink or over-worry, we interfere with digestion. Energy soup helps us to avoid these problems by "pre-chewing" or "pre-digesting" the food for us! See "Why Chew?" in Lesson 1 for more information.
[About a month before Victoria's lecture about Green Smoothies I'd started eating more energy soup, and cut back my fruit consumption. Like Victoria, I'd noticed that I'd reached a health and weight plateau, but as soon as I cut back on fruits and started eating more greens, my health started improving even more. What I personally appreciated from Victoria's latest video (Green Smoothie Revolution) is the idea of adding mangos, papayas, bananas and other sweet fruits to the Energy Soup (Green Smoothie), because I admit I was getting bored with apples and pears as sweeteners. -- Jim Carey.]
