A Low Glycemic Diet
A low-glycemic diet is one of the key components for health, optimal genetic expression, a healthy living colloid field, stable blood-sugar levels, and a quiet mind. These all support spiritual awakening. The prime purpose of the low-glycemic diet is to prevent the “self-composting button” from being pushed.
Negative environmental stresses, acidity, and a high-glycemic diet create a morbid ploemorphic change from healthy cells and protids to viruses, bacteria, yeast, mold, and fungus which give off microtoxins that begin to break down our living tissue. The self-composting process leads to chronic degenerative disease. There are many potential ill effects from a high-glycemic diet besides activating the self-composting button of chronic degenerative disease.
A low-glycemic diet helps to create a healthy biological terrain, preventing or reversing self-composting and candida. In the context of Spiritual Nutrition it is important to give a brief overview of the important of a low-glycemic diet. It is a diet that minimizes high-glycemic fruits, refined carbohydrates, and cooked starchy vegetables.
Phase I of the Rainbow Green Live-Food Cuisine contains the lowest amount of low-glycemic foods, and therefore accelerates the shutting off of the self-composting button. It consists primarily of raw nuts, seeds, vegetables, oils, and algae. Because of the stresses in our modern environment and our poor nutritional choices in the past, Phase I is appropriate for most everyone for the first three months. Some people who are experiencing only mild self-composting can start with Phase I.5 which includes a minimum of low-glycemic fruits, low-glycemic condiments, and fermented foods. Once the self-composting button has been shut off, one can move to Phase II.
Phase II is a maintenance diet. It includes moderate-glycemic fruits, and raw high-glycemic vegetables. It is also important to note that low-glycemic foods tend to be higher in minerals. The table below delineates the foods appropriate for each Phase of the Rainbow Green Live-Food Cuisine. In addition, in order to keep your biological terrain, SOEFs, and living colloid field in an optimum energetic state, there are many food which should be avoided in general.
The key point again is that a low-glycemic diet is the most important prevention and treatment. Other important preventative and healing factors include a moderate fat intake and moderate exercise. Minerals and vitamins that are particularly important for healing insulin resistance include selenium, copper, zinc, chromium, magnesium, and vanadium. Proper amounts of B12 are also important for protecting the nervous system against symptoms that occur with insulin resistance.
If someone tends to have obesity, allergies, arthritic troubles, degenerative eyesight and mental function, and an increased rate of heart and kidney disease, one needs to pay attention. We need to communicate positively to our genes by controlling blood sugar and insulin through a low-glycemic diet, exercise, and supportive lifestyle and environment.
