Great carbohydrates Monday – Primed Coconut Cream Cabbage with Mustard and Chili

2 Comments

Primed involves no cheap and nasty Carbs like Bread, Pasta, Noodles, Rice, Crackers etc. These cheap carbs are all less than optimal nutrition, cause large spikes in your blood sugar levels and also cause inflammation in your body due to the excess sugars they are metabolized as. This then affects your immune system.

The Primed Lifestyle involves eating more healthy fats and quality Carbohydrates. This week I will highlight 7 quality Carbohydrate Recipes that are far superior in nutrients to any of the cheap carbs mentioned above.

Eat more quality carbohydrates, healthy fats and protein and you will reduce inflammation in your body (less aches and pains), bring your blood sugars down to a healthy level and stabilize them (better moods), and build your immune system so as to fight, not feed, disease.

Eat real food with real flavors and experience unreal results. You will get more energy, mental clarity and ailments will disappear or be reduced.

Ingredients:

1 or 2 cabbages
lots of onions, garlic and green and/or red chilis (optional)
coconut milk or quality full-fat cream (please never use chemically laden low-fat monstrosities)
salt and pepper
coconut oil
quality mustard like Dijon (without added sugars)
bacon or chicken thigh is optional as explained below

Useful Food Hint Number #2: Malunggay thrives with a “Friend” & Music

Leave a comment

Useful food prep hint #2:

Give your Malunggay company. When drying Malunggay leaves to make Malunggay Tea ensure you play it music occasionally (Malunggay prefers Aussie hip hop like this song called Forever Young).

In addition, ENSURE you have some company in the form of a plant, like a cactus, so it is happy and thrives so as to be even more nutritious for you.

Malunggay is the Miracle Tree and you will be stronger and smarter if you have some everyday. It rocks big time.

Malunggay benefits

Malunggay, sometimes called Moringa, has small, rounded leaves that are packed with an incredible amount of nutrition: protein, calcium, beta carotene, vitamin C, potassium… you name it, its got it.

No wonder it’s been used medicinally (and as a food source) for at least 4,000 years.

From a digestive standpoint, Malunggay is high in fiber that, as the Epoch Times put it, “works like a mop in your intestines… to clean up any of that extra grunge left over from a greasy diet.”

Gut health

Also noteworthy are its isothiocyanates, which have anti-bacterial properties that may help to rid your body of H. pylori, a bacteria implicated in gastritis, ulcers, and gastric cancer.
