The sea covers over 72% of the earth’s surface. This oceanic presence shares the same chemical properties as the liquid portion of our blood. The salty, alkaline environment of our blood is the same as the ocean. Wow! So inside each of us is an ocean. The ocean of our blood has a profound effect on our health and well being.
There are two types of waters- salt and fresh. Salt water is from the big ocean and it vibrates like our blood stream; and fresh water which vibrates with our lymph system. The combination of these two affect water entities affects our immune system.
From the ocean we receive large portion of our foods. We get sea algae’s or seaweeds and other type of sea creatures- fish, lobsters, shrimp etc. when we eat these foods they influence our not only our blood, but our immune and lymphatic systems as well.
Did you know that eating large amount of sea vegetables (algae) could help balance respiratory problems? The high concentration of chlorophyll potentially enhances the respiratory function and regulates water balance in the body.
When you are craving seafood, consider eating some sea veggies. The desire you are craving is for the taste of the ocean and not necessarily the creatures of the ocean. Sea veggies are filled with the ocean flavor with out the energetic effects of eating a fish or crustacean.
Go to you local health for store and look for some sea veggies. There are several type of sea weeds: hiziki, kombu, wakame, alaria, arame, sea palm, dulse, agar irish moss and red laver nori. Try a few of these in your salads or by themselves.

pasta that water sucking flower
Pasta is wheat and a concentrated starch. I remember when I first got this fact. I was training for a marathon and I need my carbohydrates. I enrolled and eat pasta every night along with a beer. After a while, I noticed that my energy was about the same, but my bowel movements were very dry. Although I was eating pasta with sauce, vegetables and salad with some bread, I never got that this product is basically flour and that the bread was the same as the pasta, a dry non moist food. Hum. Our bodies are composed of 70 to 80% water and our brain is composed of 70 to 90% water. Hum. What I am saying is to consume more water rich foods in your life. There are many types of grains: rice, whole wheat, wheat gluten, barley, rye, oats, corn, millet, buckwheat, quinoa to name a few. All of these foods are considered grasses and are good for energy. They are better consumed after being soaked, versus cooked. Cooking them produces a large amount of starch. This starch is what accumulates in our bodies. This excess starch in our bodies accumulates in our joints (ankles, knees, hands, fingers, hips, back etc) and leads to low energy, arthritis, and other diseases. Enjoy your starches with a salad and include some digestive enzymes. This dish is a plantain with curry, green salad and carrot salad. yummy.
