Is your Kitchen a Pharmacy or a Mortuary?

“ So they poured it out for the men to eat. But as they ate of the pottage, they cried out, O man of God, there is death in the pot! And they could not eat it.” – II Kings 4:40

The kitchen is one important utility area of any house. It is so surprising how more attention is given to the living room than utility areas in several homes. Guess we are all guilty of trying to impress people by the quality of our sofas, the size and latest technology of the TV, etc. while we pay little attention to important areas like the rest rooms, bed rooms and the kitchen.

Your kitchen could either be a factory, producing nourishment for your health and the health of your family or it is a toxin producing factory, debilitating your health and the health of your loved ones.

Like the story in the scripture above, one of the sons of the prophet was doing all he could to serve the people and provide for their needs. In his innocence, his kitchen was dishing out death and poison that could have wasted an entire generation of prophets. Many women are also ignorantly destroying their health and the health of their loved ones thru their kitchen.

Your kitchen cookware is one important area to pay great attention. Several homes use aluminum pots while some go a step further to use non-stick pots which are usually coated with PTDA, a dangerous chemical with Teflon being the most popular brand. Aluminum is a dangerous metal which crosses into the brain causing neuro-degenerative disorders in later years especially in men.

If you have ever observed your aluminum pots develop holes after prolong use, don’t ask how the holes got there, they leached into your food and you consumed them. TEFLON used in non-stick pots is highly carcinogenic and causes cancer.

The alternatives to aluminum cookware are many. You can decide to use heavy stainless steel pots which you can verify by passing a magnet round every part of the pot. If there is any part that does not attract the magnet, then the pot is a mixture of steel and aluminum. Don’t buy! The weight confirms it is heavy as it should be heavier than the normal aluminum cookware.

Earthenware is a very healthy alternative. Sadly though, we have forsaken this and labeled the use as fetish in many communities. Foods cooked in earthenware do not require so much seasoning as they evolve their natural tastes enhanced with their natural sweeteners and nutrients are further preserved unlike several conventional cookware.

Titanum cookware though expensive is worth the buy for every home. Saladmaster is a popular brand for titanium cookware with global certification. They are non-corrosive and non-reactive. Titanium does not leach into your food because of their quality and they greatly preserve nutrients in food during the process of cooking among several benefits. The cookware is also very durable and could last generations. Surgical knives are made of titanium which attests to their durability.

Make a conscious effort to pay attention to your cookware. The quality of your health starts from the quality of what comes out of your kitchen.

PARENTS ALERT: FOOD & DIET AFFECTS YOUR CHILD’S BEHAVIOR AND LEARNING

By
This topic is a response to several demands and enquiry as regards the role food plays in behaviors, moods, addictions, etc. Special attention will be given to what parents should watch out for especially as children are returning to school. Our food has changed so drastically in the last few decades it is no wonder that food-related behavior and learning problems in children are increasing. What is clear is that children not only behave better but concentrate better, follow instructions better, and remember more when they eat healthier food. It should be noted that concentration, following instructions, and memory are fundamental building blocks of the learning process and vital for success at school. Moms and Dads certainly intend to do the best for their children, and part of this can mean feeding them “regular food” that won’t set their children apart from their friends. But in doing so, our children are being sabotaged in ways that make it difficult for them to ...

Ebola, Colloidal Silver & Nano Silver

By
A colloid is a substance in which particles of one kind (nano-micros in measure, so tiny) are dispersed throughout a medium of some other kind. “Colloidal silver is a suspension of silver particles in a colloidal base” – Food & Drug Administration (FDA) It is important to note that Nano-silver is a type of colloidal mineral which due to its anti-microbial activities, have been incorporated into many consumer products. These products include dietary supplements, laundry detergents, body soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, disinfectant sprays, kitchen utensils, clothing and children’s toys. The use of colloidal silver dates back to 1938. Before the invention of antibacterial soap, colloidal silver was used as a disinfectant. It is still most commonly used to kill bacteria. Silver is effective at both preventing and combating bacterial illnesses and infections because it does not corrode making it an effective choice of cookware though expensive. Ancient Greeks realised th...
