What
is conscious cuisine? Conscious cuisine is void of high fructose corn
syrup, bleached sugars, bleached flours, hydrogenated fats, partially
hydrogenated fats, MSG, synthetic colors and preservatives...
Conscious
Cuisine may contain
ingredients which may not be perfect, but are dramatically more
nutrient-dense than the mainstream version. For instance, organic
cookies may not be therapeutic, but they will have a greater spectrum of
available vitamins, minerals and will often contain more plant
fibers.
Conscious
cuisine may contain high amounts of sugars and starches. But, because they
are spared the bleaching process, you will feel like you have contributed
a few vitamins and minerals to your body's bank account, instead of
robbing it!
As
a dietitian, it is my job to remind you, when eating carbohydrate-rich
cuisine, it is important to balance the carbohydrates with protein in
order to slow down the rate the carbohydrates enter your bloodstream. Soy
milk or organic cow's milk provide protein to balance out the
carbohydrate-load into the bloodstream. Including protein with
carbohydrate-rich cuisine will balance blood sugars for 3-5 hours.
What
is therapeutic cuisine? If you suffer from diabetes, metabolic
syndrome, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, hormonal imbalances,
eating disorders, or inflammation, focus on products listed on the
therapeutic grocery guide more often.
The guidelines are stringent, yet the
products are truly amazing!
