WEEKLY NEWS
 There is a pearl of ancient Oriental wisdom that says: if onions make you cry, you are ingesting too many Yin foods. Yin foods refer to sugar in this case. Primarily simple sugar, NOT complex carbohydrate based sugars like brown rice syrup, although natural sugars such as brown rice syrup and fruit can also be taken in excess and cause the "crying" reaction to occur. Try limiting your sugar intake to one normal size serving of an all natural dessert per day, maximum, for a while (if not forever), and then try peeling an onion. You will find that the onion no longer makes you cry! Be on the lookout for hidden sugars in prepared foods, restaurant "sauces", salad dressings, alcoholic beverages, etc. All of these are huge sources of simple sugar and should be reduced and / or avoided. The "crying" experienced when peeling, chopping, and cooking raw onions is the bodies natural discharge of the excess yin / sugar. The onion is doing you a big favor in assisting the excess to come out, but you can do yourself an even bigger favor by not overdoing sugar in the first place. |
SPINEALIGNER
The SpineAligner* stimulates the points in shiatsu /oriental medicine known as the "extra points" which run along each side of the spinal column. One important meridan it stimulates is the Bladder meridan which regulates all the Internal organs.The SpineAligner also stimulates the nervous system, strengthens the muscles around the spine, and relaxes the neck and shoulders.
Reduce tension and stress!

WEEKLY ARTICLE An Onion A Day Keeps The Doctor Away
No, we did not make an error in the title of this newsletter. We did mean to say onion, not apple, although apples are a great idea too! 
We use so many onions in our Wholly Macro cooking, and they are such an amazing and incredible food, that we thought they deserved some special attention this week seeing that among the other fabulous dishes on this weeks menu, we have one of our favorites: French Onion Miso Soup with Mochi Croutons. Onions are one of humanity's oldest cultivated vegetables, and have been a staple in the diet of the earliest recorded Egyptian and Chinese records. In Oriental Medicine, the onion is associated with the stomach and pancreas, and is said to support the health of both. Onions have a strong and pungent taste when consumed raw, but when cooked, they become very sweet and delicious and impart a calming and peaceful energy. They are highly recommended for diabetic or hypo-glycemic prone individuals who must carefully watch their intake of simple sugars.
The following is a run down of some of the numerous reasons to make onions, organic of course, - in all of their various forms, such as: yellow, white, red, scallion, leek, chives, shallots, pearl, Vidalia, etc. - part of your daily diet:
~ Onions may lower the risk of stomach / intestinal cancer: In Georgia where Vidalia onions (special strain of super sweet yellow onion) are cultivated, mortality rates from stomach cancer are about half of the average for the rest of the United States. The Chinese are the largest population of notorious onion lovers, and their risk of getting stomach cancer is 40% lower than populations less enamored with onions. 
~ Onions are rich in several organosulfur compounds that seem to protect the body against a wide variety of cancers. One of these compounds, sulforaphane, is formed when the onion is chopped or chewed (remember how important chewing is - please see previous newsletters on chewing if you have forgotten this important lifestyle suggestion). Sulforaphane has been found to trigger the liver to produce enzymes that detoxify cancer causing chemicals, most notably chemically induced breast cancers.
~ Onions have also been found to lower cholesterol. The natural sulfur compounds in the amazing onion have been found to keep the blood nice and thin (think, no clots), and to reduce the bodies absorption of cholesterol.
~ Onions are also rich in flavonoids, a naturally occurring compound that helps protect against heart disease.
~ Onions seem to halt the growth of dangerous pathogens such as salmonella and E.coli. Onions are extremely rich in bifidobacteria, a friendly bacteria / microorganism thought to relieve inflammatory bowel conditions and boost immune function. (Friendly gut bacteria are directly related to a healthy immune system). Friendly bacteria's such as those naturally occurring in onions also fight fungus and provide relief from flatulence. 
Remember at the beginning of this article that we said onions are good for the pancreas? Well, cooking finely chopped onions in spring water with the top off to allow for concentration and evaporation of the water (also known as Sweet Vegetable Drink) will leave you with a deliciously sweet onion butter / puree / syrup that can be used as a special in - between - meal snack to stabilize blood sugar and treat hypo-glycemia. Prepared this way and combined with a few spoonfuls of cooked whole grains make it an excellent blood sugar stabilizing snack / home remedy for diabetics. Make your onion of choice the onions with the strongest flavor and aroma. They have the highest amounts of the super healers: the sulfur compounds. 
I think I am going to head to the Wholly Macro kitchen and eat a few spoonfuls of deliciously sweet onion butter leftover from earlier today right now. All of this writing has worked up my appetite!
In Health As Always. Gayle and Jaime / Wholly Macro

Here's some feedback from a consultation client..... " three years ago I discovered that I had breast cancer. I had heard of Macrobiotics years ago. I didn't understand the concept but immediately I knew that that would be the route that I would pursue. But where to go and who to see was the question. Thank God for reading the macrobiotic newsletter. For in the newsletter there was an article about Gayle Stolove. I just felt her strength and passion burn through the page that I was reading. I immediately made an appointment to see her and although I was still so frightened, I felt so comfortable talking with Gayle. Gayle guided me through the whole process. I thought that the macrobiotic way of life would be boring and just eating rice. Well, I love the foods that I eat and I just feel good about it all. You see, after the surgery, you are sort of left on your own.You have to make your own decisions, etc. Everyone gives you different advice as what to eat, what to do, etc. Doctors don't understand what the patient is going through nor do they understand what kind of diet they should follow. I adopted Gayle as my guardian angel. You can't find that with any nutritionist or doctor. I love receiving her weekly e-mailed newsletters. They are so full of wonderful knowledge and beautiful healthy recipes. Gayle is a remarkable human being. She truly cares for her clients and gives them her all, one hundred percent of the time. Gayle has been there and therefore she is so compassionate and dedicates her life to helping people like me....." a cancer survivor
