Is breakfast the most important meal? It may be, when good judgment and the cleansing nourishment of whole grain (WG) sets a tone of centered steadfastness.
Whole grain tunes our receptors to the order of the universe. It vitalizes intuition and its clarity. Intuitive guidance is precious. It can be an immediate reaction to circumstances, or a gut feeling about them. Being able to receive and follow your intuition is a blessing. “The only real valuable thing is intuition.” – Albert Einstein.
Whole grain fosters intuition.
Sugary, chemicalized, Genetically Modified (GMO) food and drugs disconnect us from intuition. They prevent its reception and function.
Those who take a hearty breakfast tend to eat less and choose healthy food. A day begun with WG improves mental, physical, and emotional performance that day, while it lays a foundation for further positive developments.
The precise food for a good start is pure, unrefined WG (whole grain). Avoidance of modern, reassembled, commercial, denuded, imitation WG is wise and compassionate.
A short time ago, whole grain was a mainstay of American homes. Hot, cold, puffed, shredded, and flakes of oats, buckwheat, corn (now almost completely GMO’d), wheat, barley, rye, and millet as cereal, sides, in baked goods, and as recipe ingredients were the norm. Sweeteners of sorghum, barley malt, fruit, honey, and molasses were preferred. The minimally processed, essential whole grain was bracing, soothing, immune strengthening, and satisfying daily fare. Whole grain powered America. Today’s grain foods have become merely food-like; empty shadows of greatness masquerading in overly processed commercial versions.
In nine out of ten American homes today, highly processed, nutrient-depleted, GMO polluted, sugar and chemical laden cereal is the only available option.
Complete Benefit
Whole grain causes people to burn 25% more calories, has superb protein, complex carbs, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, fiber, and phytonutrients that subdue appetite by satisfying thoroughly, for longer. Generally, whole grain eaters do not have weight management difficulty, but do have energized well-being, mental acuity, and a much nicer quality of life.
Scientists at the USDA Human Nutrition Research Center at Tufts University say, “Whole grain helps regulate blood sugar by slowing down the conversion of complex carbohydrates into sugar. In fact, low-glycemic index food such as whole grain reduces hunger and can help to control weight.” Scientists at the Agriculture Research Service completed a study of more than 2,000 people concluding, “at least three or more servings of whole grain everyday could reduce the chances of developing metabolic syndrome – a condition marked by a combination of abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, poor blood sugar control, low HDL ‘good’ cholesterol and high blood fats.”
Joyous Revival
Understanding macrobiotic principles and natural foods has inspired awareness of the multi-faceted, multi-dimensional benefits of pure whole grain cereal. Irrefutable fact has caused the medical community and the U.S. government to acknowledge the role of whole grain in human health. The inevitable appreciation of whole grain is growing. It is regaining popularity. Healthy intuition guides us to it.
Real organic whole grain, like EDEN Cereal Flakes and Muesli Cereals, is a necessity. Eden Foods has sourced organic food from North American organic growers we know and trust, since 1969. It is common knowledge among organic farmers that Eden Foods’ customers must have crops from long-term organic soil that taste the best and have exceptional nutritional value. These salt-of-the-earth growers have used organic methods for decades. The rich vital soil they steward teems with life. Their practiced tending produces spectacular food. Annually, Eden visits the families who grow EDEN organic food. Visits at kitchen tables exchanging details, sharing facts, ideas, experiences, and walking their land and buildings is the only way we know to maintain mutual trust, understanding, and obtain what we seek.
One must be a discerning, knowledgeable food buyer to acquire the pure food being sought, Eden Foods is a model for doing so. Leaving it to chance is reckless. We are an informed, fussy buyer. The dynamic of fraudulent commercial organic demands it. The USDA-defined marketing term “organic” is used, in many (most) cases, to reduce the positive value of organic food by making it easy, facilitating fraud, and legitimizing those who fake it.
