Thrive, Going Against The Grains
What If You Stop Eating Grains for 14 Days? Click Here to View Learn why Wheat, Quinoa, Spelt and Other Grains Should Be Avoided Length: 13 Minutes Consider Spending time in nature is healing energy. – Source Unknown Shark Tank is a television show where fledgling businesses seek capital and mentorship from affluent entrepreneurs. On this reality show, potential investors are called ‘sharks.’ In a January, 2023 episode, tortillas made from jicama flour were pitched as an alternative to wheat and other grasses-grains. [Jicama is a root vegetable native to Mexico.] During this segment, Oscar-winning actress-become entrepreneur Gwyneth Paltrow mentioned that her health-oriented cookbook contains jicama. Along with Paltrow, more people are avoiding grains like wheat, oatmeal, spelt, rice and others because of their connections to: SIBO [Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth] Tooth decay Exposure to toxic molds (mycotoxins) Heart disease Inflammation Read more about, “Why Grains Are Bad For You and Grains to Avoid.” Four side effects in the article, ’10 Reasons to Avoid Grains” are: Gas, cramps, constipation, diarrhea and candida Phytates in grains inhibit fatty acid and mineral absorption Insulin spikes High arginine amino acid can cause herpes outbreaks, indigestion, bloating and gout The article “10 Reasons Grains Make You Sick,” says, “Flawed studies and pressure from the agriculture industry have convinced us that grains are a healthy part of a balanced diet. In reality, they’re a leading contributor to many of our most common ailments.” Yet, some believe grains have places in the human diet. The Tufts Health and Nutrition Newsletter advises, “the vast majority of science do not support the idea that all grains are bad” “whole grains are associated with positive health effects” “If you experience physical symptoms that you think may be associated with eating grains or grain-based foods, work with a healthcare provider to look for a cause.” In “Is a Grain-Free Diet Healthy?” Health Times answers, “A grain-free diet may reduce inflammation, aid weight loss, and improve digestion and blood sugar levels. It may also promote mental health and alleviate pain in people with fibromyalgia or endometriosis, though more research is needed.” If foods like wheat spelt, millet, rice, sorghum, oats, dried corn, teff and amaranth should be avoided, how can a grain-free diet be satisfying? “A Beginner’s Guide to Grain-Free Diet” recommends filling up on, fruits like berries, oranges, grapefruit, and apples healthy fat sources like nuts, seeds, avocados, and olive oil healthy grain-free products like almond flour and coconut flour starchy vegetables like sweet potatoes, potatoes, and butternut squash nonstarchy vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, and asparagus animal and plant-based protein sources like chicken, fish, eggs, and lentils Here are some recipes: How to Make Cauliflower Rice 18 Grain-Free Pasta Recipes That Can Be Made in 30 Minutes includes “One Pot Kung Pao Chicken Zoodles [zucchini noodes]” and “Sesame Cucumber Spiralized Salad.” 25 Grain-Free Vegetarian Recipes offers “Roasted Cauliflower with Creamy Cilantro Pesto” and “”Pumpkin & Pecorino Soufflé.” Videos Benefits of jicama flour pitch on Shark Tank [6 minutes] Gwyneth Paltrow makes jicama tacos with non-dairy sauces.

Your Heroic Heart, Money Multiplies
The “Heroic Hearts” series is inspired Succeed and Soar’s August 21, 2021 post. There, Eleanor Roosevelt said, “We do not have to become heroes overnight. Just a step at a time.” How do we change the world? One random act of kindness at a time. –Morgan Freeman On March 12, 1904, in New York City, the Deed of Trust created by steel industrialist Andrew Carnegie opened, Gentlemen: We live in a heroic age. Not seldom are we thrilled by deeds of heroism where men or women are injured or lose their lives in attempting to preserve or rescue their fellows; such the heroes of civilization. The heroes of barbarism maimed or killed theirs. * Carnegie then created a fund from which “the heroes and those dependent upon them should be freed from pecuniary cares resulting from their heroism.” One of the first awardees was Richard X. Hughes of Bangor, Pennsylvania. Hughes was 42 and working in a slate quarry. Hughes sought shelter when an explosive blast was set then noticed John R. Owens had been blinded by burning powder and both could not find his way and stood near a cliff. With his own life in danger, Hughes ran from his safe place and carried Owens from harm. The 10,000th Carnegie Hero was Vickie Tillman of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. On February 19, 2017, Tillman stopped her car and called 911 when she saw Billy A. Aime being assaulted and bloodied, resulting in a concussion. The 56-year-old cafeteria worker next left her car and jumped on the attacker’s back to keep him from grabbing the police officer’s gun. She then restrained the assailant until help arrived. [The lady looks pretty petite in this picture.] ‘Hero’ comes from ancient words meaning demi [half, unfinished, almost]-god and to watch over, to protect. A “Random Act of Kindness” qualifies, as in this post’s video. Imagine a world where everyone goes to bed a hero.
