FUN FACT:
We love this cute little blurb that we found in one of our favorite magazines recently:
"Some foods can
make you skinny - even if you don't eat them!
In a study conducted by Cornell Food and Brand Lab involving more than 700 cafeteria diners, the mere presence of healthier items, such as an apple, led about a third of the participants to select healthier lunches - even if they didn't choose the healthier item itself.
Healthy items, or so called trigger foods, seemed to remind diners to eat more nutritious fare".
The moral of this story: Simply ordering Wholly Macro's food and keeping it around you can motivate you and remind you to resist the bad stuff! |

ABOUT THIS WEEKS MENU
Eat Right To Stay Strong For The Season
We have so many goodies on this week's menu. It is such a nice melding of beautiful, local, and seasonally appropriate whole foods.
Herman Aihara (1920 - 1998) was a macrobiotic pioneer and leader. He taught that we get more out of life when we eat mainly seasonal whole foods. He said that when we eat only parts of foods we become malnourished.
"When we eat only part of a whole food and discard the rest, such as vitamin pills, white flour, and refined salt, the food becomes harmful to our health".
Herman Aihara used refined salt to further explain: It is almost nothing but sodium and chlorine, sometimes fortified with synthetic iodine, and is harmful to the body in this form whereas real, whole, natural sea salt is rich in many other minerals, including real iodine. |
When we single out parts of a food, and discard the rest, we lose the many vitamins, minerals, and enzymes present in the whole that are needed to properly digest and assimilate it.
Herman Aihara also said that: Humans are healthiest and strongest when they live on the products of their nearby surroundings. "Humans can adjust to almost any climate, but we must keep certain factors, such as temperature, water, sugar, and mineral levels quite constant merely to stay alive, and even more constant if we want to be healthy".
The best foods for maintaining constancy of physiological and mental conditions are those from the plant kingdom that are seasonal, whole, and local.
And Wholly Macro just so happens to have an entire menu planned for you this week that is entirely plant kingdom based, seasonal, whole, and as local as possible (we shop at local organic markets, and grow all of our own herbs!).
|
Back to the seasonally appropriate part of this newsletter for a minute:
Suddenly, people are starting to drop like flies all around us due to colds and flu. Have you noticed?
Not to worry. Wholly Macro to the rescue!!
We have a nice Smoldering South Of The Border Refried Bean dish on the menu for you this week. Beans are good sources of immune boosting iron and zinc. And they are also loaded with vitamin B6 which helps create infection fighting white blood cells called lymphocytes. You can DOUBLE the amount of iron that you can absorb from beans by combining them with as little as 25 mg of vitamin C, such as is found in the fresh orange zest highlighting this dish!
|
We also have an assortment of mushrooms on this week's menu. We always use shiitake mushrooms in our miso based soups, as is the case this week in our delicious Corn and Dulse Miso Vegetable Chowder.
And the Buckwheat And Bowtie
dish is also loaded with mushrooms. Mushrooms contain beta-glucans, carbohydrates that can spur production of virus attacking white blood cells. A study in the European Journal of Applied Physiology found that cremini mushrooms are a rich source of selenium and riboflavin (aka vitamin B2), both of which help ward off bacterial infections.
|
Another seasonal favorite appearing on our menu this week is, ta da, squash. Hard winter squash that is. The Spanish Rice and Red Quinoa dish has pumpkin seeds in it, and the Brussel Sprout Nishime is full and sweet succulent kabocha squash. All pumpkins are part of the squash family, including the seeds. So kabocha squash is a type of pumpkin more or less. But what's so great about squash / pumpkin anyway?? It is full of beta-carotene for starters. The body converts beta-carotene into vitamin A, and that helps create white blood cells, which fight infection. Studies suggest that vitamin A may enhance the body's response to flu antibodies. Both squash (pumpkin) pulp and seeds protect against infection.
So please consider loading up on the Wholly Macro food this week, because don't forget, we will be leaving you for a few weeks over the holidays. Take advantage of all of the immune building, local and seasonal whole foods on our menu this week and always, and stay strong while we are gone, this winter season, and during all of the other seasons of the year as well.
In The Best Of Health To You As Always.

**Wholly Macro makes every attempt to maintain a totally vegan and allergen free kitchen cooking environment. We make every effort to avoid any type of cross contamination during food preparation. Most foods used in the Wholly Macro kitchen are not packaged, but instead are bought in the produce section or in bulk. But as you know, cross contamination is always a possibility, especially with bulk items. And in the few packaged foods that we do use, such as nut butters for example, it is common to find warnings on the manufacturer label stating that the item was processed in a plant that handles tree nuts, soy, wheat, dairy, gluten, shellfish, and so on.
Wholly Macro cannot be responsible for trace amounts of common food allergens that come from outside (packaged or bulk items), and therefore end up occurring within our prepared foods. Please use your own discretion in determining if our food is appropriate for your consumption, especially if you have severe food allergies.
We are always available to clarify any of the ingredients that we use, and assist you in your weekly selections, but we cannot keep track of your food allergies, sensitivities, likes, dislikes or preferences.
Please call or email prior to ordering if you need further information or clarification.

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 |
