A Healthy Breakfast Just some quick thoughts. We really need to listen to what the Lord teaches us about our own bodies. I takes so much time to become in tune with what works best for us and our loved ones. Don't ignor what you've been taught! We all have different needs but basically the thing that fits all our basic needs is improving nutritional content of our food. I have been a student of natural health for a good ten years now. But I am still human and too often eat what tastes good or just what's available at the time rather than for nutritional value. Eating whole foods is really the easiest way to improve health and teach children how to stay healthy. When we fall off track our bodies let us know and Lord willing we can make the adjustments that we need to. Are you having a 'bad' week with the kids or other relationships? Stop and listen to your body. Stop and look at what you have most recently been feeding upon. Your emotions often tell it all. Frazzled ? Beef up on vitamin B's. The more refined sugars and flour you allow in your diet the more your vitamin B balance is at risk! Grab an old copy of Adele Davis' books Let's Get Well and Let's Cook it Right are excellent books. I am pretty sure they are still in print although you may have to request at your local healthfood store. Quote from Let's Get Well A lack of the vit B niacin results in confusion, disorientation, clouding of consciousness,  and  can cause hallucinations it can cause totally mental breakdown... Mild deficiencies associated with irritability suspicions, imaginary unfairness, and mental  depression... are common and can prevent family life from being happy. Let's take a look at increasing our vit B's, niacin, B6, B12, pantothenic acid, and women especially take care to get folic acid. Also get plenty of calcium magnesium. HTH Jacinda
