Summary

The episode of Grassy Roots with Dr. Jim Carey and Beth Overgaauw focuses on the benefits and practicalities of adopting a raw living foods lifestyle to improve health. The hosts explore the nutritional problems rooted in the modern Standard American Diet, which has evolved due to economic and preservation needs, resulting in demineralized and processed foods that are far removed from what our ancestors ate. Dr. Carey highlights how ancestral diets and our closest genetic cousins, chimpanzees, provide clues to what humans need nutritionally—primarily leafy greens, seeds, nuts, and some fruits and vegetables.

The show emphasizes the importance of chewing food thoroughly to aid digestion, noting that modern eating habits lead to poor mastication and reduced hydrochloric acid in the stomach, impairing nutrient absorption. To address this, Dr. Carey introduces the concept of “energy soup” or green smoothies—blended raw foods that pre-digest the food, easing the digestive process and making nutrient extraction easier. He demonstrates how simple and affordable it is to start with a basic blender, emphasizing that even inexpensive or used blenders can be effective.

Dr. Carey also discusses the transformative effects of this lifestyle on body chemistry, shifting it from acidic to alkaline, which increases oxygen levels in the blood and creates an environment hostile to diseases such as cancer. He shares anecdotal evidence from the Creative Health Institute where many people reversed their cancer diagnoses through the raw living foods program.

The episode includes practical cooking demonstrations, showing how to prepare green smoothies with a variety of organic greens, fruits, sprouts, seeds, and other nutrient-dense ingredients. Dr. Carey stresses the importance of dietary variety to obtain all necessary nutrients and encourages experimentation with recipes, reassuring viewers that it is an art, not a strict science.

Additionally, the show promotes Dr. Anne’s Raw Living Foods Home Study Program, a comprehensive guide featuring handbooks, DVDs, and videos from experts in the raw food movement. This program is designed to help people maintain and deepen their understanding of the lifestyle beyond initial instruction. Dr. Carey also recommends resources such as Susan Shang’s Live Food Factor and gdietvideos.com for further learning.

The episode concludes with a focus on involving children in the lifestyle by making the foods tasty and accessible, and with encouragement to start with small steps like daily green smoothies for long-term health benefits.

coming up next on Channel 6 television grassy roots with Dr Jim Carey and Beth Overgaauw a show which will guide you down paths to healthier living by simply adjusting your eating habits stay tuned to channel 6 for Grassy route [Music] foreign [Music] once again to grassy Roots I’m Beth Oveergaauw and I’m here with Dr Jim Carey and once again we are going to delve into some of the maybe Mysteries to some of you on the raw living Foods lifestyle thank you Beth it’s great to be here it’s it’s always a pleasure and tonight

00:01:06
we’re going to talk a little bit more about the nutritional reasons for taking on overall living Foods lifestyle what I like to do to Macbeth because I could sit here and we I can sit here for the next four hours in lecture but that gets old and tired so I’m going to give you some basic foundations about the the pro the basic fundamental problem to standard American diet okay and then we’re going to go to our first solution step one okay so we’re gonna do a little talk we’re gonna do a little

00:01:35
kitchen okay okay that sounds like fun here’s the premise a hundred years ago 95 of American population lived on the farm okay and they ate off the farm and and they eat lots of raw living Foods okay um sure they they had the fried foods and stuff but you know they didn’t have so much fried anyhow details main thing is 95 of the population lived on the farm today something like four percent of the American population lives on a farm and at that those four percent have been taught that good food comes in cans

00:02:09
and Frozen TV dinners and and the big fast food chains that diet evolved because of preservation of food okay okay it’s a lot easier to put it in a can or freeze it or prepare it and put all these preservatives in it than it is to try to get it to Market well you know how you buy produce and and you throw half of it away because you’re not eating it fast enough right imagine that on the semi truck load scale so it evolved as an economic nice city not necessity but nicety but what we’ve done over the course of

00:02:43
time of that is demineralized our food and what’s happened in by Our Generation after four generations three generations of living off the farm is we’ve forgotten how to eat healthy we don’t know how to eat healthy Okay so Dr Ann always said listen to your body ah but we have to learn to listen to our body because it’s not about what my body wants is about what my body needs and at this point my body has TR I have trained my body to want things that are necessarily what they need and that standard

00:03:21
American diet well it’s twofold let’s go back to so how do I know what my body needs we’ve trained it out of ourselves right okay and we can go back and look at what our great great grandparents did and that’s part of what I’ve done is what the Dave Lincoln and Ben Franklin and the boys Tom Jefferson what did they eat okay that’s part of it but there’s actually an easier way our closest genetic cousin and science has come out and said that genetically we’re the the chimpanzees are over 99

00:03:53
the same as man that that one percent is a big difference but still genetically they’re they’re our closest cousin so if I want to see what my body needs I can probably get a real good clue by watching chimpanzees and with the chimpanzees exist on they list out mostly leafy greens seeds and nuts a little bit of fruit okay and some veggies but it’s mostly leafy greens so if that’s what chips are doing oh God I promised everybody sorry I promise everybody we weren’t going to be sitting here eating the big

00:04:31
salad bowl okay yeah really I’ll tell you what I’m going to do let me let me let me cover see the big salad bowl is what our body needs and it takes a long time to eat a big salad bowl well there’s that okay especially if we ate right because we should chew and if you look at the old nutrition books this from 1920s 1930s we should chew everybody 35 to 50 times until it is liquid in your mouth you know my great-grandmother used to tell that my grandmother even said nature will castigate those who don’t

00:05:06
masticate okay and if you look at the pictures of the old presidents they had the great big Jaws everybody had a strong jawline he listens that screen didn’t they okay everybody tells liquid in your mouth number one we don’t do that we become a gulping Society number two I can attest to that you said you’re the speed here earlier off camera number two the atomic bonding of the minerals and the nutrients in leafy greens is the strongest of anything we could put in our body it’s the hardest one to get the nutrition out

00:05:43
of oh okay it’s the most important that we chew it fill this liquid in our mouth now my grandmother will sit there and watch me and count and I I sat there at the supper table chewing everybody 35 times and and I’m not saying she made 35 stick but she did make me more of a chewer than I was when I was four five six years old by the time I was seven or eight both grandmothers both sides and I spent the Summers with my grandmother in Vermont yeah take forever to eat but it was a healthy thing because the

00:06:14
body can get the nutrition up so I’ve got a secret and a tip and a trick for us today and that is a way to pre-digest the food oh that sounded great yeah but this is sure but you know a lot of animals do that for their children right and this is a lot this is a lot more appetizing than how the animals do all you need is a blender okay now there’s there’s there’s good powerful brand Brands I mean my favorite is a Vitamix okay and and the grassyroots.com vitamixis right here yeah um

00:06:49
I will I will post the links tonight when I get home for people to take them to the website that’s easier than rattling them off anything we mention on the air I’ll give them a link to take them there but that’s four hundred dollars and up right okay it’s almost that much on eBay used commitment it’s commitment you don’t need that to get started no okay a five dollar blender will do I have found that an old used blender from a yard sale especially if it’s 20 years old or so people buy

00:07:19
blenders they use them to make Daiquiris three Christmases in a row and then it sits under the couch I have the little blenders too that’s another good one those little those little miniature blenders they’re good but for what I’m going to do on the demonstration tonight I’m I’m going to I’ve got to bring my Vitamix up okay but back home with the cabin I I mean the Vitamix is staying up here in Georgia uh I mean and where am I Kentucky at the Kentucky office but back on my farm in

00:07:47
Georgia I’ve got some yard sale blenders what I’m trying to say is a 20 year old blender for five bucks is more powerful they’re made they’re made in America they have a better winding on the motors I bought 30 40 50 blenders at the discount store and I got tired of taking them back every three weeks because I was burning them up oh they swap it out it’s great every three weeks do a blunder but it gets to be a pain I’ve had five and three dollar blenders that I’ve used for about a year and when you

00:08:16
start smelling burning wiring you’re burning it out you get a new one it’s an appetizing to have that smell in the kitchen it’s time to throw it throw it in the trash recycle file whatever and get another five dollar blender and that’s all you need to get started with this and most people have one under the cupboard if you dig around it’s been 15 years because like I said you used it for three parties so we’re going to make something that Dr Ann called Energy soup okay but I’m going to call it a green

00:08:43
smoothie okay because what we’re going to do is make it a little more appetizing Dr Ann’s program was very Spartan okay and I pretty much eat Dr Ann’s program now but my body has changed and my taste buds have changed I’ve been doing this for six years this is something that you can serve it up the kids will like it your husband will like it and you’ll like it and what it does is by running our greens and everything through the blender and chopping them up so small that’s going

00:09:11
to take a big load off the digestive system because the standard American diet not only do we not chew enough the stand American diet has left us with a very low level of hydrochloric acid which is what breaks down the food so I’ve got unchewed food with low hydrochloric acid so anyhow we’re going to give the body a big head start we’re going to run this to a blender we’re going to throw a little fruit in okay to make it more appetizing if you sell front of mine but here’s what happens if if you follow

00:09:43
along with me for the next six months your body chemistry is going to change your body chemistry is going to go from acidic to alkaline and that’s where it’s supposed to be our bodies are designed to be alkaline and in the presence of an alkaline body chemistry you also end up with a high oxygen content in your blood guess what cancer thrives in a low oxygen acidic environment in a high oxygen alkaline environment cancers just die off I’ve seen this hundreds of times at creative Health Institute and after

00:10:16
about a year on this lifestyle they go back to Doctor and they’re cancer-free and you know what the doctor says every time oh you’re misdiagnosed [Music] every single guest we’ve had was misdiagnosed for cancer they come to us they hang around for a year or two and boom they’re cured but it was all misdiagnosis it’s funny how that coincidence is only the misdiagnosed cases they’ll go to creative Health Institute or do my home study program we’ll talk about that more in a couple

00:10:44
weeks but I’ve written a couple books about this I have a DVD collection I mean we go into extreme detail I mean the DVD collection is about 50 hours of video it gives us a whole lifestyle right it is and you need to be armed with knowledge yeah and we’re going to start with baby steps and that’s where we’re going to start we’re going to do a little Hands-On I mean even if somebody just does a a green smoothie every day that’s right last week I promised you scientific evidence in Oregon about four

00:11:21
four to five years ago um and you can Google this it’s called the Roseburg study in Victoria Victoria and Igor butenko it’s down here on the screen they did this with an MD with 30 some patients and they had 16 ounce green smoothie once a day which the Botanicals prepared for them at the end of at the end of the study period all but one person in the study said that they had noticed a marked improvement in their health all the two or three want to know could they continue on so Igor and Victoria Boutenko had to do a how to

00:11:56
make a green smoothie presentation class they put together an evening thing it changed their lives that much that in 30 days even though they were paid to do the study and they didn’t want to quit they want to quit Okay so this is this is a great starting place and I think we’re ready let’s go to the kitchen let’s do it stay tuned for more grassy Roots after these words from our sponsors hi I’m Dr Jim Carey and sitting in front of me is Dr Ann’s raw Foods

00:12:24
lifestyle home study program Dr n’s program has been taught for over 50 years around the world that a half a dozen institutes normally ago you spend two weeks and you learn to do the program however when I was director of creative Health Institute I found that after you go home you’ve been home for six months a year all that knowledge starts to fade there is a need for being able to refresh your memory and a need for keeping inspired so over the course of the last six years I put together a home

00:12:55
study version of Dr Anne’s program and this is it in front of you I know it’s a lot it’s a 304 page handbook it covers everything from from the kind of water to drink through energy soup to how you combine your Foods there’s 180 page recipe book that covers everything from a raw breakfast through a raw dessert after supper and everything in the middle even has Thanksgiving dinner and all raw Thanksgiving turkey dinner with mock turkey her basic program is in this 10 DVD set right here but as you get into it you

00:13:26
get into questions and you know it’s always like about having a second opinion about having more details and that’s what the rest of this program is over here we have the advantages of eating raw video I did one by Paul Nissan a couple by Victoria butenko including her famous One greens can save your life that’s a three hour video I know it’s Victoria’s number one seller this is all part of the home study program couple videos on wheatgrass a couple videos on sprouting and gardening a

00:13:57
number of videos about rejuvalac lightly fermented foods and energy soup a couple more doctor and videos or TV interview um these four here are all about in the benefits of the lifestyle the uh this one called program review for example is an overview of the program at creative Health Institute enzymes in food living Foods um living food preparation I’m sorry raw parenting with uh which is important to many people uh student testimonials colon Health transitioning to raw foods food combining with Dr Pfeiffer

00:14:38
it’s as thorough as I’ve been able to make it in the last six years oh and I almost forgot two of Dr Anne’s books on tape read by a professional radio announcer Steve mulkiewicz a naturopathic doctor that happens to believe in Dr Ann so that shows in his voice I mean this is that’s a five CD set you know there’s a three CD set this is the most thorough thing you will ever see to learn about Dr Anne’s raw living Foods lifestyle is available at sheediet.com and actually when you go to the website

00:15:12
you’ll find there’s even more bonuses over and above this thank you looking for a comprehensive guide on the subject of the raw foods lifestyle sus Shang has written an encyclopedia on the subject the live food Factor this comprehensive Guide to the ultimate diet for Body Mind spirit and Planet covers every possible Factor related to the subject this compilation has received rave reviews by those in the raw foods movement visit www.livefoodfactor.com for your copy the live food Factor by Susan Shang want to

00:15:48
learn more about a raw living Foods lifestyle there’s a wide collection of videos on the subject at gdietvideos.com you can find a video on any subject that suits your interest and your budget including rare footage of Dr Ann’s raw living food lifestyle programs this knowledge could change your life check out cheatvideos.com and now back to grassy roots on Channel 6 TV with Beth oberhow and Jim Carey so here we are in the kitchen with all kinds of good foods surrounding us everywhere I look you’ve put good things

00:16:30
on them yeah and your crew’s been eating all my props oh yeah we gotta get rolling with this but we still have food left we’re gonna make everybody lunch today oh that’s cool oh yeah and I understand it’s going to be easily digestible and it requires a little some chewing but not as much as it would in another form that’s right what else um easy to make and I got a lot of variety you were paying attention the requires some chewing is important even even though you could drink these

00:17:04
down especially if you really run that blender digestion begins in the mouth and there’s a chemical you screed it in the saliva that works with the hydrochloric acid in the stomach to digest your food so it’s always important to our food even though we could just gulp it down yes because digestion begins in the mouth now we use blending again because people don’t choose their food enough okay and I mean the old handbooks and remember the picture of the presidents and they had real strong Jaws right

00:17:34
because you chewed your food 35 to 50 bites until it was Liquid in your mouth we’ve lost that with this soft food fast food generation so this gives us that Head Start okay we still want to chew it so what we’re going to do today has two names one is energy soup and that’s right that’s what Dr Ann called it and that’s what I like to call it because that’s what I think of it as is energy soup but Victor potenko in her book 12 steps to raw food and her video um greens can save your life she calls

00:18:08
them green smoothies okay the main difference I see is Victoria makes them real smooth and blendy and if you follow Dr Ann’s recipes right down to the liquids they come out more soupy okay more like I mean they’re looser all right um mine come out different every time yeah yeah if you have Blended have come out in different areas and it has the liquids um you know I have I think I’ve got 30 recipes in my book for smoothies they’re starting points they’re to give you ideas okay but in the end making a

00:18:44
smoothie it is really an art not a science now when we bake a cake making a cake is a science because if I leave out one ingredient if I leave out the baking powder the cake doesn’t rise right it’s a chemical reaction that goes on there it’s just like high school chemistry class because when you heat it something happens and when we added the energy a chemical reaction takes place but because we’re not heating it because there’s no chemical reactions you can fix every recipe

00:19:16
okay if nothing else you now I made one I put way too much Jalapeno in at once yeah that might be well they came out to a five-fold increase I mean I had to take down out of my blender full of way too much jalapeno I put I went down about that much and thinned it out and made more but I saved it you can never do that if you love to baking soda out of the cake no okay so all green smoothies start to say we take now this is a Vitamix blender and it’s a super heavy duty industrial thing that was low

00:19:50
okay okay but there’s nothing we’re doing here that you couldn’t do with a smaller blender maybe we can show them a little clip of me and my cabin video that was a a two dollar five dollar yard sale blender works just fine you just have to run them longer right okay um I have found that the that department store blenders modern blenders burn out quite quickly if you pay less than 400 or so for them oh yeah oh these start these are over 400 bucks to start with okay okay and you can also get real high

00:20:20
capacity who knows you’ve made a commitment to it may also get a lifetime warranty oh that’s good too yeah this is called a Vitamix we’ll show them on the screen and give them a link and some reviews there’s other brands too yeah um but you don’t have to commit to this as part of the lifestyle I tell people by the time you’ve learned out a couple Thirty forty fifty dollar blender then you’re ready by the time you burned out two fifty dollar blenders you know you’re ready for the big one yeah okay

00:20:43
um but again they only have to be five dollar blenders I find the old ones from the 60s and 70s they last longer they had better Motors in them okay okay so I take my blender and again you see me measuring everything right filtered water very important okay is it always water or it can be rejuvlex thank you and we’ll talk about this another show and as a matter of fact I will make this first one with reju black okay reju black is lightly fermented wheatgrass okay what we did is we put about well we

00:21:17
could go no more put three quarters of an inch of wheatgrass I’m gonna put on the camera here um a week of hybrid winter wheat in here we soaked it overnight we then poured off the silk water that got rid of the the enzymes that preacher that interfere with digestion and interfere with it sprouting we then covered it over with water and because it’s been cool here in the studio kitchen and I didn’t notice it was by the window for those so this has been three days and if you want to taste

00:21:46
it I do I’m very curious about this one smell and taste smell and taste do you swish it you watch it cling to the side of the glass you know make an art of it are you going to be a rejuval that kind of soup it’s not a strong smell but there is a smell of it it’s definitely water what it is it’s lightly fermented wheatgrass if you am I gonna like this you’re gonna like this you could throw a little beet juice in with this let it ferment for about a week and you’ve got what we call vegan

00:22:21
Pink Champagne oh it does have a bubbleness to it yeah it’s it’s fermenting I mean and tomorrow it would be even more more like a stronger every day and if you keep it warmer I recommend 68 degrees is the minimum temperature but out on the farm in the summertime 24 hours okay um I’ll let this soak 24 hours and I can actually fill it up and drink it off three times before the wheatgrass berries get too weak do you sprouts just soak it overnight and drain it off I’m sorry 24 hours

00:22:56
drain it off and it’s actually technically is sprouting in here now because it’s under water you won’t really see the sprouts come out but it’s fermenting the wheat berries it’s technically it is sprouting but that’s why it was important to soak it first I could drink this all the time it’s not a strong flavor at this point and it can get stronger but I find it more refreshing than water in the summertime when I’ve been working out in the farm and just sweating gallons I

00:23:22
come in I’m I’m just covered with dirt and sweat and everything this hits the spot much better than water even filtered tap water room temperature all of that it really just goes to your pores faster if you wanted to use juices other than water apple juice like organic apple juice or organic poetry is a base for your smoothie it’s a base anything you want we just need a liquid to make this stuff flow I’m going to use again you have triple filtered water here at the studio I took the

00:23:51
filter part it’s all great um I didn’t have to install mine and uh get rid of a lot of more toxic elements than we realized these triple filters for third filters charcoal element um obviously the under sink units with the big ones they can do a lot more but this is a great start first off it takes out the fluoride and the chlorine okay you don’t need those in your body secondly this will take out a lot of the pesticides and the uh Pharmaceuticals that yeah in our typical tap water if

00:24:26
you go to grassyroost.com I’ve got an article on there about what’s wrong with American tap water and filtered water is the best water Dr Ann taught that distilled water was dead water and filtered water is the way to go so better filter systems but if I’m going to stress over the filter I’m going to do more damage to myself by stressing over it than just saying hey it’s this filtered as I could get it okay okay and um yeah that’s about a cup I’ll make it work okay well let’s maybe

00:24:59
it says right here okay so it’s two cups okay I have a secret for thickening them up I’ll take that off your hands okay um you can again in a smoothie like this you can fix anything oh okay we’ll we’ll save the rejuable life for something else I was supposed to use that that’s okay but um ferment a little more and get a little more powerful another day would be good for it and if we have time we’ll come back to it and we’ll actually make some more rejuvenate okay um now

00:25:28
we’re we’re it’s great what I didn’t bring with me the studio staff they went out they found all organic I think it’s wonderful if I was making up a salad especially like what I do when I come home from the store I wash everything the day I get home that way when I go in the fridge it’s ready when you wash everything if you get one of these spinner things okay and how that works is you you wash your greens you cut you chop them up a little bit you drop them down in here and if you spin them around

00:25:58
in this thing and dry them out they will last longer in the fridge okay in my case I just go to the market twice a week maybe every four days I eat them up too fast because this is work okay but I mean it’s a nice thing especially depending on your time constraints and the availability of child labor [Laughter] that’s true stay tuned for more grassy Roots after these words from our sponsors when truth rings curiosity sins finding yourself raw curious Dr Ann’s we’re all living Foods lifestyle home

00:30:13
you’ll find there’s even more bonuses over and above this thank you and now back to Gracie roots on channel 16 . Beth oberhow and Jim Carey that’s true that children love to spend those things oh yeah oh yeah and so much of this living food thing Beth is is to get the kids involved yeah okay and there’s all kinds of great little things we can do like in this smoothie you know broccolis every every Green every fruit every vegetable every plant has different nutrients I mean wheatgrass we

00:30:47
get 108 of 112 possible but to get those 112 nutrients we need dietary variety so when I go through the produce aisle I buy a little of everything bok choy I remember first time I bought that no idea what it was but it’s different okay oh yeah and there’s got to be something everything can’t get the kids eat broccoli it’s no problem because we’re gonna throw it in the blender and they’re not gonna need another broccoli yeah they don’t like celery no problem let me throw it in the blender

00:31:14
when I started a smoothie I like to think about how sweet I’m going to make it and what I’m going to do to make it taste good okay so I’ve got a half an avocado here and uh there it goes and you know a little about my dog loves the avocado skins but I saw recently in AARP magazine avocados raisins grapes and chocolate all of them bad for the dog I mean chocolate we’ve all known can give your dog a heart attack and you can have it 99 times 100th Time Boom dead okay I didn’t know

00:31:49
about grapes and avocados okay so now I make sure I go straight in the trash the dog can’t get a hold of it okay and she looks at me so far Lauren okay on this one um I’ve decided we’re going to keep it simple I’ve got an organic pear here I’ve already washed everything okay and this is the fun part of it the stems are too fleshy and they’re not gonna blend okay we’re gonna throw it in there all you want to do is chop it up good enough to give the blender a head start

00:32:23
otherwise you’ve had big chunks they might hang up seeds and all okay and vitamins and nutrients in there now certain foods like apples for example is one I know never eat apple seeds they can be poisonous especially if dried but um as I say the antidote for the poison apple seeds is in the Apple so if you’re eating the seeds with the Apple it’s okay but don’t eat the seeds separately okay but we’ve been doing this for 50 years in doctor and programs and it works fine now at this point I go I go

00:32:52
to the fancy part of my smoothies okay um or energy soups and this is going to start as an energy soup we’re gonna make a smoothie I’ve got here organic herb salad and that’s the guy that I am and because of going and just wanting to have the variety without a lot of work I buy these baskets okay and I don’t know it’s just a feeling sometimes I bring them home when I wash them and it says it was pre-washed about four times yeah triple washed I think and sometimes I wash it myself to make sure

00:33:26
and today I didn’t want to take the time or have it I don’t know how long it’s gonna be in the fridge here at the studio so I’m trusting the triple wash label okay but I go back and forth you’re never going to go wrong by washing it again that’s an herb salad and then this one says herb salad okay and I probably use more herb salad than I usually do I’m actually gonna because these can be strong okay I’m gonna throw a bit back in there gotta remember this is there is a difference down home this is

00:33:58
down home any bachelor can even do this food prep okay so you throw best on back in because what are we doing feeding myself I don’t care um this isn’t the restaurant I like the spring mix so this gives me the start of my smoothie mice energy soup I’m sorry we’re making energy soup today okay at this point looks like I got a blender full hey we’re just starting on this I usually like Stir It Up thank you [Music] okay now that should do this down quite a bit now actually this is down home the way I do

00:34:46
it on the front [Laughter] plenty sweet um some more avocado would be nice but avocados great for fat okay and we need fat for our joints I’ll keep them lubricated but it happened avocado a day is all they recommend yeah so I’m going to leave it at that much as I love to have more avocado and now I get into my personal treats I love asparagus and you ain’t gonna see now this chop chop chop chop food prep stuff on here excuse the end my mama always told me to break off the blender will fix that for me

00:35:25
okay um my big filler my big favorite is organic romaine lettuce and I can’t overly stress Beth how important organic is um you don’t have the pesticides the herbicides um you know and a lot of that stuff you can’t wash off because it grows into the plant when the plant is growing okay and organic Romaine you find almost anywhere now and it’s and it’s inexpensive so that’s my big filler that’s about enough for tonight uh you see how hard this is a little cauliflower cauliflower

00:36:03
technically and I’m I’m being luxurious yeah I know and a cauliflower right flowers are greens it’s organic this is you know a common brand commonly available um I use every bit of the stem and everything and I do chop that some because it’s fleshy and the blender doesn’t deal with it so much but I’m just being luxurious tonight and only using the tops if you want a red smoothie beet okay it might be the way to start with your kids I kind of like mine like a red if it wasn’t sweet enough I have extra

00:36:37
pear celery you know they say we should have a stick of celery every day and uh sometimes I get fancy pull the stick off and wash the whole stick now people say oh it’s organic I don’t have to wash it hey Cat peas organic but I don’t want to eat it okay okay Hemlock is organic but I don’t want to eat it yeah okay and I did see him pre-wash these Foods so we’re just saving a step here nice for spice but a strong cilantro ah Now read the label in the store it looks like it looks so much that’s what I do

00:37:13
in the store make sure it’s not parsley I love that flavor because they look so much alike but you’re gonna find that this this two this two little sprigs here that’s about enough cilantro for any smoothie okay okay then you get into your luxury items oh sunflower kernels okay sunflower kernels is one way to go they did stay organic but they said salted yeah the salt isn’t a good part of the diet but you know I’m I don’t do this 100 it’s an art not a science but for tonight’s show

00:37:44
I brought my own Sprouts okay so that’s what we’re gonna do with this phase we got our basics in I’ve got my sprouted sunflower seeds here all in all but you see they got those Sprouts coming out of them I’ll put them out here for the camera where they’re living those seed shells they’re pretty much grind up but um they don’t chew so well do you like crunchy peanut butter that’s what it’s going to taste like they’re going to be little bitty chunks and wait now we gotta be

00:38:12
careful if this is radish we don’t want too much that’s the radish okay that’s powerful but this one came out Milder wheatgrass I’d rather juice it because they can actually get tied around your impeller and stuff is very fibrous um I either juice it or I chew it like like instead of chewing tobacco now this is a five Bean mix of sprouts I’ve been sprouting for five minutes wouldn’t that be something and we could convince the entire world that that you grass the choice instead of the vitamins and

00:38:47
nutrients instead of all that nicotine and if they want this bit they can still spit um chewing tobacco is what killed my uh my stepbrother at 62. it was uh all that chewing tobacco mouth cancer throat cancer and uh those are good I carried this casket down the this is three years ago right now that’s Alfalfa that’s strong though I mean it’s got a little bite to it too oh that’s the Clover oh okay I like Clover okay these are mung beans store-bought you can grow your own but is that enough

00:39:18
mung beans or you know you’re right let’s do some mung beans you like these don’t you you know they are so juicy here besides I got to get the radish taste out of my mouth and foreign we’ll do this on another show I bet I grow my own Sprouts in the kitchen and jars I’m looking for my Alfalfa right now yeah you’d probably label yours yeah I certainly might but at a family project we just taste test everything yeah I mean especially me being a bachelor so these up my alfalfa

00:39:57
actually since I really like Alfalfa you want to get some more I got some organic Sprout man Alfalfa from Whole Foods if you don’t have time to grow them you can find them right and these are very portable I think it’s five dollars for the whole tray and he does these great assortments I mean this one is called uh gourmet salad and you could actually toss this on a plate and have salad for two minutes of supper throw some lettuce under it if you want but I have made a meal look at all these different kind of

00:40:29
seeds in here and they’re all freeze crowded um this is Steve meyerowitz and he’s been doing this for I bet you 30 years great sprouts and very affordable I think it’s the best deal on the market hi Steve good plug remember me and then some of the basics like I love pine nuts so I throw them into the sweetener I like the way they Crunch and again dietary variety they are sweet that’s the funny thing about them pumpkin seeds not only are they good they’re high in zinc you know what zinc is good for a guy’s

00:41:05
prostate oh yeah okay one handful of zinc seeds a day and all those other things that guys take pills for you don’t need okay okay a handful a day so sprinkle some on top they’ll blend up well if you really want to richen it up which I’m going to do our cashews cashews technically aren’t an organic live food they’re steamed to get them out of the shells I don’t know I don’t know if they really cooked it or not but I’m not 100 and uh I I just love the lifestyle and if it

00:41:41
makes it taste better a half a handful of cashews is not going to be the end of the world compared to all those chain store hamburger joints that I used to eat at I mean I’ve been eating like this for six years now and I went from well I went from 260 to 170 but I got off the program over Christmas and Thanksgiving the holidays went to moms went to dads and when your folks are in their 80s you don’t argue with what they serve no I hadn’t eaten ham in like nine years so of course mom buys a great big

00:42:10
honey baked ham I loved it I had the best time I didn’t feel so good tonight next day that even that night when I went to bed but my mom was 79 years old anything she puts in front of me well I knew that all my life I don’t know that 58 years okay is that low it’s raining rod and it is green isn’t it it’s very green no really consistency wise we would call this I have all these cups lined up oh this will happen oh there’s I’m a we would call this energy soup okay okay it’s a little soupy let me

00:43:05
test it first I don’t want you to get hurt I can’t think of anything in there that would hurt me sometimes I make them really strong too much radish or too much little spicy spicy uh you Proclaim them I like little Crunchies in it yes sunflower seeds and and I didn’t I didn’t blend it as far as you could it’s still got some pretty big chunks reason I held back I wanted to illustrate there’s one more ingredient that I use every day and it’s flax seed okay flax seed gives you Omega-3s okay

00:43:51
very important for the body in the winter time and we’re in Louisville right now or Louisville suburbs I actually take a fish oil capsule every day too to make sure I get enough of Omega-3s then I put about a half an inch of flax seed in there you see I’ve cleaned it by using other flaxseed in it [Music] all right four or five seconds yeah and I find that if you do it a few times the heavy one set a lot better um it’s important to grind your flax seed fresh it goes you can’t keep it after

00:44:25
you’ve grounded three to five days and it goes rancid I know I know what they sell in the store the oils everything else the only way to get good Omega-3s out of your flax seed is the fresh grinder but that’s why God invented the little coffee grinder to clean your coffee grinder then clean the Daylights out of it I ran flaxseed through it see all that stuck flexing I ran flaxseed through it to stick to everything and then wiped it out a couple more times so I actually cleaned it by throwing flax through it

00:44:53
blacks is a fabric isn’t it when it’s a full plant and it won’t Flex them anything you make cloth out of it I never thought to eat it and the other thing it does for your smoothing it’ll thicken up your smoothie you get one that comes out too watery you say oh I like everything about the taste except it’s too loose that’s why I prefer to start with too much water because the flax will thicken it up um then there’s something like that girls do with right I’ve heard that yeah that’s not at

00:45:25
all my field that’s why God invented the waffle house but but that was before I found I could do this at home for pennies and lose 80 pounds 90 pounds [Music] stay tuned for more grassy Roots after these words from our sponsors hi I’m Dr Jim Carey and sitting in front of me is Dr Ann’s raw living Foods lifestyle home study program Dr Anna’s program has been taught for over 50 years around the world at a half a dozen institutes normally ago you spend two weeks and you learn to do the program

00:50:34
hand over it it’s important part put your hand over it and if you start on low [Music] bananas are a good sweetener bananas are a great sweetener Beth yeah um the thing to watch it’s funny some foods that’s really important to be organic one of my favorite comfort Foods or snack foods is fresh blueberries this was a this was full when I got here at the studio today yeah it was yeah well I’ve been snacking that’s my snack good as blueberries blueberries strawberries raspberries all

00:51:18
those things that grow on the ground peaches all those fruits with real thin skins it’s real important for them to be organic because they can actually absorb the herbicides of pesticides right through their skins but when you look at avocados bananas and papayas those things with really thick skins papaya sort of borderline but avocados and bananas for sure if it’s 10 20 cents a pound if you have the money organic is a good idea but it’s not essential I don’t I really don’t worry about on bananas I for

00:51:49
bananas I want to see the ones that are ripe yeah we didn’t use bananas here at the studio because everything you guys could find were green yeah and that’s why I like well I I kind of buy stock in these people’s company that’s why I like the whole food store because they order their produce that was picked more recently I can see the taste even the non-organic or the non-organic bananas I can taste it that they taste better because they were riper when they were picked because the time the market I’m anxious

00:52:20
it looks good it looks interesting that came out of the Smoothie man I gotta do an infomercial that was a great pour that’s pretty yeah um foreign parts of your tongue taste the different flavors oh yeah yeah that’s how the tongue works yeah but you notice that with it break it down um I mentioned the yard sale blenders these are real Handy for snacks I mean I work hard during the day and I’ll make up I would make a full blender like this but I’ll drink I’ll drink a couple 16

00:53:03
ounce glasses for a meal before I’m full and that leaves me full and that’ll carry me for six hours but for small leaders and I they tell me here at Studio you eat like a bird these little these little these little blenders like this these things are great and and you actually well it doesn’t do because I’m plugged it you know okay um that would scare me at that word that light bulb it works like that but that’s something in my magic kit and your sir you know you’re you’re drinking
