Hato Mugi: A Super Cool Grain
We find ourselves halfway through August already.
And although the summer is zooming by, the effects of the extreme heat are not!
We have a super food on the menu for you this week. And not only is it a super food, but it is a super cooling food as well!
The heat outside does not necessarily create internal heat in the body. There can be others factors at play as well such as lack of sleep, dehydration, hormonal imbalance, and over consumption of heat producing foods.
But extremely hot summer temperatures certainly don't help!
Keeping a cool head via cooling foods is a great idea this time of year.
Hato Mugi is just such an energetically "cooling" food.
But please note that when we say "cooling foods" we are not referring to the temperature of the food, but rather, we are referring to the energetic nature of food, so please do not consume cold foods or drinks ever.
It is best to balance various bodily conditions, including internal body temperature, via balanced foods, not extremes.
You can never get to a place of balance by using extreme foods or methods.
Attempting to deal with extreme heat by consuming icy cold drinks such as frozen smoothies, doing an all juice diet, "going raw", or taking various hormonal supplements, will not bring you to a place of balance.
It will just take your condition from one extreme to another, and like a seesaw, you will continue to experience extreme highs and extreme lows, extreme heat, and extreme cold. Spurts of frenetic energy, and bouts of lethargy.

Have you ever really stopped to think about what Hato Mugi is??
Hato Mugi is heirloom whole grain / wild grass that dates back to biblical times and beyond. In the bible it is referred to as Job's Tears.
You may have heard of it by this slightly more familiar name?
We feature it on our menus here and there, but we are not sure that you fully realize it's many fine attributes, so we would like to point them out to you, if you don't mind.
|
|
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Hato Mugi is considered to be nourishing to the liver, spleen, lungs, and skin (among its many other attributes).
An interesting fact in TCM is that all grains with a line down the middle, such as barley, wheat, and oats, (called "mugi" in Japanese), are classified as having "tree" energy which is a light, cooling, cleansing, and refreshingly uplifting energy.
Tree energy is primarily related to the liver.
And the emotions related to an over burdened liver are anger, impatience, and a HOT temper.
A grain like Hato Mugi helps to cleanse and calm the liver, thereby helping us to keep a cool head!!
Not a bad idea any time of the year!
Asian cultures place a high value on this grain for it's anti cancer / anti tumor healing properties.
We should in this country too, don't you think?
Scientists have actually identified a compound called coixenolide within Hato Mugi and have found that coixenolide suppresses cancer cell activity.
And they have identified another compound within Hato Mugi called germanium, which has anti-cancer properties as well.
We here at Wholly Macro recommend Hato Mugi for regular consumption by all, the infirm, as well as healthy individuals.
It is always so great to have scientific backing when touting the healing benefits of the foods we use!
Other amazing health benefits of Hato Mugi include:
|
- Dispersing water stagnation conditions such as edema
- Regulating and balancing blood sugar levels.
And being very high in fiber, it helps to:
- Reduce cholesterol levels, (especially the bad LDL kind)
- Improve colon function
- Promote weight loss
Another interesting non - food use of Hato Mugi is its use in various types of prayer beads, such as rosaries and Indian mala beads.
Hato mugi can be used as an external plaster as well, harmonizing, relaxing, balancing, and cooling the body's energy, or drawing out and /or softening excess protein based or fatty deposits.
It is especially effective in ridding the body of warts, moles, eczema, fatty tumors, and other similar skin conditions.
Hato Mugi is revered for it's ability to promote beautiful clear skin!
All in all, Hato Mugi is a seriously under used super food.
We hope that we have opened your eyes to its many health benefits via the above article.
Sometimes the simplest and most unassuming of foods are the most powerful.
Which is a good reason why variety within one's diet is so important.
You don't want to leave any foods out and risk missing a valuable nutrient.
The Wholly Macro menu's, this week and always, are jam packed full of health, vitality, AND VARIETY!
When is the last time YOU ate Hato Mugi??

|
May health, happiness, and prosperity be your unavoidable natural state and your ongoing daily experience.

**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 |
