is there a good food for spiritual health

is there a good food for spiritual health?
Just wondering if there is other kinds of food like garlic that can help with spiritual health and healing... like the spirit and chakra cleansing... other than meditation. Not to say I won't do meditation... I'm just wondering if there is also a nutritional element to consider.

I don't know but I'd be interested in finding out so I'll watch your question with interest. Saying that, I think you can't go wrong with Green Tea. It just seems so healthy and spiritual to me but I think that's just my personal opinion. It goes without saying that any spiritual food would be vegetarian but I'd guess that it would be more to do with how you feel about that food than the food itself as it seems to me that this would be a psychological thing.
2 :
maybe it's more important to avoid foods/drinks that overstimulate or dull the senses and moderation of intake,as never eat til you are full? a few yrs. back i had become a flexitarian( i ate vegetarian over 90% of the time,little dairy-yogurt and cheese-no meat or eggs but occasionally fish and also avoided all sugar and caffeine but i still drank a beer or two on weekends for some reason)and after about half a yr. i had this incredible mental clarity and develop so much natural energy that i started to eat very little because i had no desire to eat much. i am certain most days i didn't even eat 1200cals at 6' and 165lbs.(down from about 190) and i felt the best i ever felt in my life. it lasted for about 2yrs. until i had an extreme and long lasting stressful job related situation that i let take over my life and i quit taking care of myself correctly. the money i gained wasn't worth what i lost. i did a some vipassana meditation retreats yrs. later and it was the only time i regained that same level of mental clarity for a while

If you're refering to frozen foods such as pizza, nuggets and frozen corndogs, then regardless of whether they are frozen or not, those foods certainly aren't going to be healthy. But if you're talking about vegetables or meats, they only lose a slight amount of their nutritional value, meaning it's still definately better to eat frozen veggies and meat that go and buy a big mac from mcdonalds!

Went to the health food store looking for a good anti-oxidant/anti-inflammatory and was barraged by bottles of?
so many "superfruit berries" and went home empty handed and confused-mangosteen? gogi? acai? nopal cactus? what? What is the best and how are they different? I am clueless. Please help!

1 :
Good sources of antioxidants come from berries and things with vitamin C. Coconut oil also contain antioxidants. Wheat grass also contain antioxidants. Antiflammatory: tea tree oil, coconut oil. Why exactly are you looking for anti-oxidants? It's best take in antioxidants fresh from its source.
2 :
It is overwhelming, lost in a sea of bottles, promises, claims, so I feel your pain. Let me help.. Gogi, Acai, Nopal, Agave, Amla Fruit, Magosteen are amazing fruit with plenty of antioxidants, rich in vitamins but overdone by the media. Hype made them very expensive, small 8oz bottle of acai is over $4 ! That small bottle will give you same benefits as a full glass of orange juice. Yes, it is proven if these superfoods are taken in huge concentrations the result is amazing. Sipping 8oz bottles each day wont make a difference. I did various studies on delivery of antioxidants, and ORAC numbers (oxygen radical absorbance capacity) has become the current industry standard for assessing antioxidant strength of whole food. Highest concentrations are found in Tea (called EGCG), chocolate, grape seed, oregano red wine and french pine bark. There are 3 answers that will blow you away; 1. Grape seed extract 200mg daily (make sure the only product in the pill is "grape seed", cheaper diluted pills also have grape skin, stems, which are a filler. Grape seed effect happens in progression, minimum 3 months. It is most popular antioxidant, benefits are staggering The other two both come from France; maritime pine bark extract (Pycnogenol) and Wine Tonic. Pine bark is more potent than grape seeds, but it is controlled by France, they sell them to different vendors due to a patent then distrubited world wide. This is the best antioxidant, and most expensive ($60 for 90 80mg pills), same effect as grape seed but potent! Be careful it thins your blood, so taking it with certain thinning blood medication is bad 3. Last is almost too good to be true, holy grail. A red wine tonic, it is a extraction of the ingridient Polyphenols, a chemical found in red wine. It is said red wine is good for many reasons, in moderation due to alcohol. A capful of this extraction is equilavent to staggering 130 bottles of red wine (of course minus alcohol). There is plenty of research on this mirace, in major papers magazines,shows.. It can actually reverse aging process. 130 bottles a day is still a fraction of what this thing can do. Hope this helps..
3 :
They are scam products. Just eat a healthy balanced diet for all the nutrition you need. If you need an anti inflammatory, see your pharmacist. Read this article: "MonaVie and Other "Superfruit" Juices" http://skeptoid.com/episodes/4086
4 :
Try making yourself a hot drink from a teaspoon of turmeric in a cup of hot water. Add a little black pepper to add the absorption of the active inflammatory substance. http://www.naturalremediescures.com/2008/06/benefits-of-curcumin-turmeric-enhanced-by-black-pepper/ Try eating berries instead of drinking bottled berry juice

What can i feed my goldfish for good health?
Fish - 4 Answers

1 :
Never ever have only 1 goldfish, it will get lonely and eat itself out of loneliness. Make sure there are NO decorations or little plant things in the tank, your fish will eat these whole and poo a LOT then die out of weight loss. Feed your fish one little flake every day, even skip a few days. They do not need much. You can also sprinkle some pepper on top of the water, this is very good for the fish and also makes them happy. However do not feed them salt, this makes their poo come out very hairy.
2 :
Ignore narwhal/ lisa whatever that persons name is. She is spamming a bunch of questions with idiotic answers. Anyway, a variety of food is better then just one. I used to feed hakari goldfish food but cant find it anymore so feed my goldfish something that looks like tiny fruit loops. They also get bugs and algae. Flakes are fine as are pellets and some fresh fruits.
3 :
Any kind of goldfish flakes or pellets are fine, plus defrosted frozen peas with the shells removed to help with their digestion once or twice a week. It's always better to give a variety of food, but it's not absolutely essential.

How many human beenigs have unsatisfied basic needs (Food, Health, etc)

How many human beenigs have unsatisfied basic needs (Food, Health, etc)?
Also, what porcentage of world's population had unsatisfied basic needs before, was it bigger, how bigger? Do you know where to find straight and relieful "world numers" like this? Most of my spelling errors are carelessness-related. Most of my grammatical errors are intensional. "Wrong category" when refering to philosophy is even more subjective than my unanswerable "Q" (I will assume that's "question", in any case it should be "Q." but maybe such mispunctuation is related to not beeing able to tell orthography from gramatics). My terrible writting is less evident when I write in my home language, instead of the others I handle. Fortunately, I constantly improve my writing skills, meanwhile I've chosen not to wait untill I master a language before I dare use it. What I am looking forward to read is prescisely the diverse views of those who care and are versed on this matter (and I think the tone of my question shows this). Filómata (as should be obvious to anyone who speaks english) is spanish for Philomath (lover of learning). I always correct people when they express themselves incorrectly, instead of saying that I don't mean any offense.

With no real offense meant as it relates to your spelling or grammer, and the fact that you're asking in the wrong category, I suggest that statistics regarding your Q are likely impossible to compose. I'll offer that it is likely in the billions. AND unsatisfied is a nebulous, subjective, and relative word to describe the situation you ask about. I live in the USA. I live at a level I consider UNSATISFACTORY, and often below "Poverty" level standards,,,but I count myself fortunate that NEEDS at a subsistence level are avilable to me, usually through "Social Services" Many occupants of various countries have NO support systems available,,,as I do,,, and swallowing my dissapointments and egos may not fill my belly, but many in the world don't even have that option. Steven Wolf
4 :
G'day Filomata, Thank you for your question. The best place to look for answers is in places like the World Bank, UNESCO and so forth. Poverty is defined as the lack of essential services such as food, clothing, shelter and healthcare. The World Bank defines extreme poverty as living on less than US$ (PPP) 1 per day, and moderate poverty as less than $2 a day. It has been estimated that in 2001, 1.1 billion people had consumption levels below $1 a day and 2.7 billion lived on less than $2 a day. The proportion of the developing world's population living in extreme economic poverty has fallen from 28 percent in 1990 to 21 percent in 2001. Much of the improvement has occurred in East and South Asia. In Sub-Saharan Africa GDP/capita shrank with 14 percent and extreme poverty increased from 41 percent in 1981 to 46 percent in 2001. Other regions have seen little or no change. In the early 1990s the transition economies of Europe and Central Asia experienced a sharp drop in income. Poverty rates rose to 6 percent at the end of the decade before beginning to recede. I have attached sources for your reference. Regards
5 :
Hello, Filomata, We can appreciate your interest in such statistics. If you seek 10 different media for information you will get 10 completely different statistics.which one would you believe. Moreover , the basic needs like food for an American may be Cereals, eggs, bread and jam and yougart. The basic need for a labourer in India is just some quantity of rice. he is more happy than the American. The health care in America, for example is so expensive unless you have insurance. In India every city has FREE hospitals where anyone can get free treatment.No insurance. Everywhere there are pockets of problems .Whatever you and I can do for these will be a step forward.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_percentage_of_population_living_in_poverty check that link out...it will give u some reliable infos
7 :
NEED implies cannot live without it. Human beings who do not get their needs met DIE. Looking at children alone, 10.5 million die each year because their needs are not met. This is very close to the number of people who will die from tobacco related causes. The issue is not just meeting needs, it is providing people with a safe and secure environment and enough education to prevent self destruction through Drug abuse (including tobacco) and AIDS and other health issues.

Do you work in food service or health care and have to cut corners to keep your boss off your back

Do you work in food service or health care and have to cut corners to keep your boss off your back?
The maids in hotels are expected to do more, in less time, for less money these days. Nurses, Nurse's Aids, Cooks, and various medical workers, are mostly forced to work very fast to the point that they violate state, city, and federal rules. Do you feel forced to break the rules to keep management off your back?

Absolutely!!! I work in a restaurant - I have worked in various different restaurants over the last five years from casual dining to fine dining, from waiting to managment. In every single situation I have been put in situations where I do not feel comfortable with what I am being asked/forced to do. I have been forced to underpay staff who are known not to check their payslips because we can get away with it. I have been forced to work for fourteen hours unbroken and to make others do the same. Food that is sub-standard is sent out because we know most people won't complain. Cleanliness and hygeine are only an issue when the health and safety officers are due to come by - believe me we always know when they will come. The health and safety of both staff and consumers constantly come last in the food sector. In my experience of being a patient in hospital I an say that medical services are little different.
2 :
I worked as a chambermaid in a hotel that whenever 1 maid left or was put off the other maids had to do extra to make up. This went on until it got so that no matter how had and fast you cleaned it was impossible to do a through job, then they would hire another 1 or 2 maids. But for a time they had 1 or two less wages to pay. Where I am now I have to do 1 day at my employers mothers house but still keep up here. Also at times when I have asked for time off ma'am will say "Oh Kim please make sure so and so is taken care of before you go won't you". This will almost always mean that my time off is shortened because doing "so and so" takes longer than the time she has allowed. For example, if there is some ironing I haven't finished because it is not urgent she will say "please finish the ironing before you go" even though nothing in the basket is required

I have been known to eat these when my son is not around because I like fries and I like them a lot. Here lies the split between what I know to be healthy and what I know I want to eat. I need to train my brain to do the former again and again and again. For the most part, I eat healthy but some kind of backward reward is for me to be able to order what I want once a month. Life in most things is about balance. It is about progress and not perfection. Thank goodness the first lady is working on the things we need to do for ourselves to have a healthy lifestyle. Our kids are the first generation who are not expected to live as long as we may live. Lets make hamburgers healthier.

triscuits/carrots/celery/pita bread & hummus (skip the ranch....there's SO much better you could much than the processed oils and junk in dressings Fruit smoothie (frozen fruit, yogurt**, ice, milk**, etc) Grapes, berries, etc. Half a tomato, avocado sandwich toasted on wheat bread Yogurt** (or dip berries/apples in yogurt) Dried fruits-mix them in cereal or make a trail mix with nuts Nuts/soybeans--see above LOTS OF WATER Apples & Peanut butter Hard boiled egg cottage cheese and pineapple/peaches Favorite breakfast EVER: Instant oatmeal with lots of soy milk and craisins in it YUMMMMMM---OOOOO! Be very careful to keep hydrated, your body con misinterpret thirst as hunger. But healthy isn't just what you're eating, it's the quantity/portion too! I snack every two hours at work...every two-three days I carry in to work a large bag filled with pre--portioned snacks of all of the above, as well as things for lunch if I forget or don't get time to get out. Chunky Soup/Campbell's Soup, Ham Sandwich (no mayo, no cheese**) Don't forget to indulge once in a while! I sure as heck keep a bar of 780% dark chocolate in my drawer and I do indulge--but one square does me! Good luck, take it slow, you might slip and fall, but get up again and keep on going! PS--I say soy or lacotse free--I don't do dairy of any kind--it doesn't like my tummy.

celery and carrot sticks.... whole fruits.... granola...yogurt is always good...... I have a fixation on anything made with whole oat oatmeal. Sushi is good, too. Good Luck and Goddess Bless.
9 :
well i am on a steady diet of trying to eat healthy.So i would suggest your favorite flavor lite yogart and granola. If you dont like yogart try fat free cottage cheese.There's always salad, but i get sick of having that so i like to change things up. Theres many choices of fruits and vegetables as well. So try to mix things up a little bit, and it will be easier to eat healthy.

fruit, veg, crackers, nuts

In lab rats, yes. As a human you would have to consume such massive amounts that all you could do was eat 24 hours a day. Here's a link: http://www.healthyeatingadvisor.com/cancer-causing-ingredients.html Draw your own conclusions.

yes... there is so much info on this subject, and i recently read that they do know long term affects. there are plenty of books and research out there, and once you start investigating, you may never eat anything boxed, genetically altered, non organic and such. ever again! some foods and ingrediants in the u.s. aren't even legal in other countries. sorry.. i could go on and on
