WEEKLY ARTICLE
Your Body: The Temple Of Your Universe
Our article this week has nothing to do with appearance, nor is it meant to offend anyone in anyway.
It is meant in the kindest of ways, with the best of intentions.
You see, we feel that if you understand what is actually happening to your body internally when you "abuse" it, you will be more motivated and aware of not only how and what you eat, but of all other things that you do that are insulting to your body as well.
There is a little saying that many of you may have heard of.
We use it a lot in the medical community.
It is called Intake and Output.
We have written an entire newsletter about it in the past which you can find in our newsletter archives.
Quite simply, Intake and Output means that: What goes in, must come out, and in relatively equal proportions!
Please refer to that newsletter (December 30, 2010 in our Newsletter Archives) for more on that subject.
Simply put though, if you take in more than you put out, that excess will be stored in and on the body in the form of fat and other toxic matter depending on the source of the excess input.
|
|
Other factors also matter: The amount of physical activity that you do, the strength of your digestive system, and certainly the quality of food that you eat, and the body care and cleaning products that you use in and around your body all make a difference.
But what we really want to focus on this week, is what is really happening to your body, what you are actually doing to your body, when you start packing on the excess.
Did you ever consider that by the time you see fat for example, or many other symptoms on the outside of your body, that you are completely clogged up and blocked on the inside?
Your body literally becomes saturated internally before fat, and other symptoms of even the slightest of malfunctions manifest externally in a way that becomes obvious to you.
Our bodies are such finely tuned precision machines. And I think we are all a little bit guilty of taking the life sustaining process of eating, digesting, assimilating, and eliminating, for granted.
When we take food into our mouth, we activate the digestive fire, the digestive engines. Many components kick into gear, and they all need to be working perfectly, and be well maintained and in sync for proper metabolism to result.
We eat, hopefully somewhat healthy food, but many times, and to add insult to injury, it is not all together perfectly healthy food, unless of course you are faithfully ordering from Wholly Macro every week!
If the digestive engine isn't working perfectly, the system gets backlogged, manifesting as constipation, indigestion, and acid reflux for example.
Input becomes greater than output.
We keep on eating though.
Things progress into high cholesterol, blocked arteries, and eventually into diabetes, and even cancer.
|
|
Pretty much all forms of illness and disease are
initially caused by eating the wrong foods, and / or by overeating them.
We refer to this as excess.
And yet we keep eating!
As we keep taking in more than we put out, our system begins to fail, the gears get stuck, and the parts, our organs, breakdown. Our body keeps shuffling the excess into our already distended stomachs and colons, into our arteries, straining our hearts, bloating our livers, gallbladders, and pancreases, and eventually the fat begins to appear externally on our hips, our thighs, our bellies, our breasts, and anywhere else that it can.
Again, be very aware: So much happens internally before you
ever see any external signs of imbalance and / or fat, and / or disease for that matter.
Macrobiotic Health Consultations / Oriental Diagnosis, are all about seeing what is happening within the body well before a disease rears its ugly head.
Ideally, we want to prevent the disease from occurring, not treat it
after it occurs.
The above described vicious cycle is like living in a house, bringing new "stuff" in everyday, and never getting rid of anything. At first the excess is not visible, but pretty soon it all piles up. Then you start shuffling the piles of excess from place to place, filling every nook and cranny. Shelves collapse, entire areas become unusable, and the entire home becomes dysfunctional.
Don't let that be your body! (Or your home!)
Our bodies are our home.
They are where we live.
They are the Temple Of Our Universe.
And we need to live in them for this entire lifetime. We can do so comfortably, or in pain and suffering.
Prevention is possible.
There is no room for excess.
|
|
Healthy food is the key. It is the foundation of a beautiful, clean, and orderly body / temple / universe / home.
So lets burn that excess.
Lets burn those fats and toxins, internal and external, with proper diet, exercise, and lifestyle. And in doing so, lets reverently honor our temples so that we can live robust and vibrant lives.
Please take time each day to thank your body for the miraculous way in which it works, and for its continuous ability to regenerate and renew, recognizing that we are spritual beings housed in the spiritual temple that is our body.
May health, happiness, and prosperity be your unavoidable natural state and your ongoing daily experience.

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.

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 |
