They are essential to health.


Phytochemicals have a profound effect on how our genes manifest their activity ie. in health or disease. What you eat matters!

Food heals the body! There is no disease that cannot be helped by diet.

Phytochemicals provided in fruits & vegetables are nature's own health foods.
Phytochemicals prevent the onset of disease. We need to eat foods with these healing properties every day.

Phytochemicals act as anti oxidants, help enzymes carry out their work, destroy bacteria, or emulate the actions of hormones.. 

Generally the more brightly coloured the vegetables or fruit the more phytochemicals they contain although onions, garlic etc contain them too.
Spices such as Turmeric contain phytochemicals too.
Eat as great a variety of foods as you can everyday :)

THE DANGERS OF WHEAT

Wheat
Your diet & Microbiome have a profound effect on your mental & physical health. The gut & brain are linked & in fact send messages to each other. The gut is considered to be the second brain!


Gluten can damage the intestinal lining and cause symptoms like those experienced in irritable bowel, pain, bloating, tiredness, anaemia, pain etc...


wheat in summerGluten can damage the gut lining allowing substances to pass through to the blood. This causes inflammation which accompanies all disease. This inflammation travels to the brain & other parts of the body.
Wheat with Mountains Wheat  causes a rapid rise in blood sugar. Most wheat has been ground into fine flour which is digested speedily causing a spike in blood sugar. 

Wheat contains phytic acid which binds to minerals such as zinc, iron & calcium etc...


Wheat lectin can damage the intestinal wall causing a leaky gut & may also influence the immune response of the body.  


Wheat contains the gliadin protein which creates a craving so the desire to eat wheat rises.


What can you eat instead of wheat? 

I make pancakes using chick pea flour, chestnut & buckwheat flour.

A HAPPY GOURANGA STORY


What a wonderful day I had. I met a lady who is unable to go out due to her Agoraphobia.
She suffered abuse as a child. I spent some time empathising with her then introduced her to Gouranga. I gave her 2 Gouranga fridge magnets. The lady was SO happy she kissed the Gouranga magnets. I could actually see the brightness which came into her face. Later on I gave her a few tips on being positive & made her laugh. She laughed so many times & told me she had not been able to laugh in a long time.

I feel blessed Lord Nityananda used me as an instrument to ease the pain of someone & to connect them to the most merciful Lord Gouranga J

A few days ago I was on my way to the park & I saw these 2 traffic wardens. I have met one of them a few years ago & he knew about Gouranga. I was a bit vocal about the fact that the local authority is planning to charge residents £35 to £70 to park their cars outside their own homes & also charge for a visitor's permit. The traffic warden said in the end the charge will probably
be around £30. My reaction was that I have no faith in the local government. This may be the charge now but later they will increase it. He looked at my badge & said I have faith in Call out Gouranga Be Happy! Well, I had to be quiet with those words.

Chanting

I took my neighbour's grandson to the play area in the park yesterday.
I sat outside the play area & had closed my eyes concentrating on chanting when a little girl maybe about 6 years old, boldly asked me what I was doing.
I explained that I was meditating. She wanted to know what this meant. I further explained that our mind might tell us get me those sweets, get me that toy, get me that dress so if I do mantra meditation, I can tell the mind what to do rather than the mind telling me what to do. The little girl started clapping.
A few minutes later the same little girl came outside of the play area & sat next to me, telling she wanted to try my meditation. She was not interested in playing. So I taught her the Maha Mantra. It took her a few moments to pronounce Krishna co
rrectly.

I am simply an incredibly fortunate servant of the Supreme Lord, the Lord of everyone, the Lord who LOVES every single soul with such love that we cannot even imagine it.
I am the most fortunate because my Lord uses me as an instrument to connect all souls to Himself, because that is what is best for them. He uses me as an instrument to lovingly hug everyone.
I am the most fortunate for my wonderful brother who brought me to Krishna & who has always inspired me to serve more & with all my heart. I owe him everything.
Then I am the most fortunate for having a most merciful spiritual master who gives me his blessings without reservation along with encouragement & transcendental love.

My experiences of life shaped me along with the most merciful Lord, My Spiritual Master & my brother.

When I went to the gym this week I told the guy at the reception desk I had forgotten my membership card so he said I would have to go in the naughty book. My answer was that I never go in that book because I say Gouranga. He said you are our happiest member.
I told him he should know this is because I say Gouranga.
I was at the gym & there is this guy at reception & he never says Gouranga, he is a little suspicious. Then I saw him whispering something to the other guy so I said I heard that. He called me over to tell me actually he was telling the other guy if they both say Gouranga every day I may write a comment card praising them.
Later that evening I did write a card & told this guy called Andy that will cost him a lot Gouranga's.

Wonderful Gouranga stories




What a wonderful day. I needed to renew my car insurance/car rescue & the current company sent me a quote for £470 so I searched the Internet and found a company which was £10 cheaper for the car insurance. I called my company & told them I would not be renewing the car rescue with them as they were charging too much & also asked if they could match the other company be reducing the price of the actual car insurance.
In the end they reduced the total price, including car rescue cover to £376.
I had a lovely conversation with the guy I spoke to. Taught him GOURANGA & he was so impressed he wrote it down at once, telling me he would be using it all the time.
Thereafter I had to speak to my credit card company & I also taught Gouranga to the young man I spoke to. I attended the local surgery to see the nurse & she was also a recipient of Gouranga.

As Srila Prabhupada said we want a certificate from Krishna regardless of what others may think of us.

HEARTS


Tree with heart leaves
What you think matters!


Positive feelings improve your health.

The heart is affected by vibrations, whether they be of love or discord. The heart is also influenced by the vibrations of the earth. In fact connecting to the earth by walking outdoors in bare feet or hugging a tree improve our health. 
Hearts can read the messages that are given out by other living entities such as plants, animals & people so always give out what you expect to get back, give out love.




Read about the heart & its abilities to influence your life.

More Gouranga stories




Once I was asked to cater for someone’s 60th birthday party. It was an endeavour to raise funds for children at Radha Kund. After the meal, I went to say goodbye to the 40 guests & they all started clapping. I told them if you want to make me happy you can all say Gouranga & guess what? 40 guests all shouted Gouranga 

Gouranga story

This morning the police came round to tell me about security since one of my neighbours got burgled.
I got the Policeman to say Gouranga & gave him a laminated Gouranga. He said he was going to put it in the Police Van. There were at least 5 other police officers so hopefully they all got Gouranga.
Last week I was out walking when I saw a dog with 3 legs so I stopped to talk to the owner and mentioned I knew about a dog with only 2 legs who could walk like a human then somehow I turned the conversation to Good luck & gave the lady Gouranga. That was fun.
I am not scared to talk to people then I can take the conversation to Gouranga. It is all my Guru Deva’s mercy and Lord Nitayanada's mercy. I am just grateful to be allowed to be used as an instrument.

Gouranga

Gouranga.
The colour of love is golden. Let us spread this golden hue to every part of the planet accompanied by love.


I am blessed to work with caring and loving people.
Someone I used to work with loved to call out Gouranga. One day she told me the stapler had stopped working so she threw it on the floor & said Gouranga ten times. When she picked up the stapler she found it had started to work.

Another time I was using the computer at work & was using the Internet when someone asked if I was working on line. When I said yes she asked how come my Internet when no one else in the office could access the Internet. I turned round and asked, ‘Did you call out Gouranga?’ I heard all my colleagues say Gouranga J
