Welcome back! And you know that we are not usually
on the set of the kitchen and it feels funny, because I'm
so domestically challenged and my husband is going to see this
segment and just crack up. But we are here because
we're doing the show in recovery and Nyse on the previous segment
talked about that most people don't think of health and they
don't think that all of it matters, that matters what
you put in your body and so you're going to bless us
by showing us some things about putting something together,
but also I want you to talk almost the whole time
what do we need to know in order to get healthy.
Well, you hit that on the hat. Making changes and coming
out of recovery, as a matter of fact, let me just stop here.
Our goal is to be recovered, so that's the ultimate goal.
As you have mentioned, everything does matter.
Of course, we have to accept God, like we talked about
a little bit earlier. I know we took so long to come over here,
but we have to accept God first and then He's going to give us
the strength to abstain from those past addictions.
I'm not going to shoot heroine, I'm not going to smoke
a cigarette, ..in coffee
Right, but at the same time that's not the only addiction.
There are other addictions and many times, as we have talked
about earlier, we transition from these big bad addictions
and then we come to the nice little cute ones,
that are really still undermining our progress
and our road through recovery.
You're not going to be talking about ice cream
and all that stuff?
I knew he was.
That's a whole other series, but we won't get into that.
As a matter of fact, we're going to see how health is practical.
This has to be practical, because from a person
who has been doing any and everything before,
they are going to become chefs. I'm not a chef. Are you a chef?
You know, this is funny for me even to be here.
You look like a chef, so I'll figure we'll carry her out of
her comfort for a little bit and we're going to take another step
But earlier we were talking about how to start off the day.
We're going to start off with God, we're going to start off
with devotion, we're going to get outside and get some fresh
air. You're going to notice that throughout these next
couples of shows and stuff, that the only way people
recover is when they have a schedule. And so the second
part now that we got our spiritual food, we have get
some nourishment, some real nourishment,
because we're not going to run and grab these donuts or this
or that and it's not going to help us.
It's not even going to help us to think.
It's going to make us weaker. As a result, when we're driving
by that old neighbourhood that we used to do that thing
or see this or do that, our strength and our power
to resist these inclinations are much weaker. Why?
Because the body has not been strengthened.
Of course, we've got the spiritual spiritual strength
but we also need to the physical strength.
The Lord holds a bowl of both items.
Ok, teach us.
So what we are going to do, we're going to look at
how to start off your day. You cannot start off your day
with just anything.
You have to start off with a good healthy breakfast.
- All right? - All right.
And I don't know about you guys, but I love milk.
if you have seen me in some other other shows.
I have milk for everything. So we're going to look at milk,
but we're going to take not just any milk, we're going to do
a special milk. Remember how we talked about that walnut?
Yeah.
Did you know you can make milk out of walnut?
No way!
Of course. As a matter of fact, your hands are clean, mine are
clean, take that walnut. As we established earlier.
what does it look like more or less?
- The brain. - It looks like the brain.
So, guys, are you ready for this? What is it good for?
- The brain. - The brain.
We've got somebody snacking on the set, but that's alright,
Go ahead, enjoy it! So what we are going to do...
How can you not eat here?
You see? What we are going to do.. we're going to try to eat
in order of digestion... Apart a lot of times making recovery
or whatever, we're making bad blood. What I mean by making
bad blood, we eat in, we drink, we call ourselves "anytaries".
We eat anything, at any time, anywhere, anyhow.
I want to be a godetarian, do you know what I mean?
So what we are going to do is we're going to make milk
out of this and we're not going to squeeze it until it just...
you know ... I shared this with one family in ...
How do you make milk out of this?
Can I just squeeze it like orange?
And I was like yes, squeeze it tight enough.
No, but what we are going to do, we're going to go ahead and
put this in a blender and watch out easy this is to me.
- We're going to take that. - Some walnuts.
We're going to take walnuts, pumpkin seeds. I wanted
to put this in here, so we can make sure we get good
nourishment, good vitamins, minerals, all that up.
Pumpkin seeds are also high in zinc as well,
has a good amount of zinc, which is necessary.
Those coming out of recovery and stuff like that,
a lot of times when I used to do my rotation through the hospital
the first they were giving those people is a zinc item
or lithium or items like that. Man, watch this.
You don't have to pay for it or well you do, you can get it
naturally from the Lord. You get that through a pumpkin seed.
A lot of times... the reason why we are going to use this tool
is because even though we're dealing with one ailment or
let's say one situation that we're looking at, a lot of times
the people coming out of recovery, they usually die
from something else, not from that addiction or whatever.
The heart attack got them because what happens is that
addiction or whatever it was, weakened the whole system
that now the pressure went up, the heart stopped working,
arteries clogged up and so what we are going to do
we'll incorporate all that, we're going to put a little bit
of sea salt in here, about a quarter of teaspoon there.
The reason why? No preservatives.
Another thing coming out in the steps of recovery,
sometimes people... things are not working well and so if you
put an extra additive, that becomes the new drug.
So what we are going to do, we're going to start making
things so scratch, now there is no ... how can I say?
No bad things in the system there.
And we're going to take a little bit of honey.
About two tablespoons of honey there.
Well, some people will say that to stay away from sweets,
sugars, honey. I thought honey was like a sugar.
Well, it's not like a refined sugar, like how you get
your white sugar or all these other types of sugar
corn... and stuff like that. It's more natural,
you can use it... I like it from little flavor.
As a matter of fact, a little sweetness is good,
as everybody said "God had a sweet tooth too."
and so that's why we used that. And what we're going
to do we're going to put just a little bit of water in there
and the reason why... we're going to need to blend it
properly and if you put too much water to begin with,
it's going to never catch the nuts and stuff
and we're you're drinking your milk, you can be chewing
at the same time, which is not the best thing.
So go ahead, throw that on your blender there.
We won't be able to talk because we're going to just let it go.
- Let me do it. - All right, all right.
- There you go. - All right.
So we just blend all this up.
Go ahead, if you have a regular blender or something like that.
Just blend it til you to don't hear that crackling noise.
I just have to say. It's really interesting to me, as I'm coming
out of all these addictions, coming out of all this stuff
and when I started getting blessed with somebody telling me
that you can make milks out of nuts, it's literally when you
take them into your body, you feel them ministering into your
body, you feel it's almost like your body just says
"Thank you so much." And it's amazing to me because first
I thought it was "That's crazy." and the more I started to
literally go in that direction and use the soya milks and
walnuts and the almonds for milk, my body is blessed.
And I feel like the healing is... It's like as if my body is
blessed and my body gets strength, then literally I am
operating better, I am able to make decisions.
with the clear mind.
You hit that on the hat.
We're going to look at some more nuts and stuff
like that, which are excellent there for the nervous system.
Are you ready? Here we go.
You just have to add a little bit more water.
- My job? - Yeah.
We're going to crank that up.
Put it on high.
There you go. You can turn it off.
Done. Nobody has any excuse that this lifestyle
is too hard and whatever like that. You just made it.
How long did it take you?
You know, I am so domestically challenged.
You did a good job. So we're going to go ahead.
I'm going to let you finish off the masterpiece.
And literally what's really incredible about this
is that all the different things that people talk about,
you know, just regular milk from cows or from animals,
is that you have things in it, like antibodies and hormones
and things that are so horrible for you, so difficult for your
body to digest into, so your body is not trying to heal
itself anymore, it's trying to deal with all this junk.
So when you make this kind of milk out of nuts,
you... it's amazing to me and you've never been an addict
so I know that you feel blessed by that, but you can't even
imagine when you're trashed how good this feels.
I can't imagine, but I guess they say "everybody has their"
"own addiction.", but you hit it on the hat.
As a perfect example of your own testimony, that when you
start it to use it, you notice the difference there.
It wasn't just anything coming out of nowhere
and you were just tired and weak and stuff like that,
so you're going to enjoy this.
All we want to do today is give you an opportunity
to give it a try and when you're giving it a try...
I didn't even know that during my recovery
coming in and trying to get healthy,
I didn't even know I was allergic to milk.
You know what? That is so true and I want to share something
while we get ready here for our next part of breakfast.
If you're dealing with lactose intollerance, did you know that
regular milk most times goes undiagnosed when you're dealing
with allergies and stuff and you can do all the scratch test
test in the world they would never find out that regular milk
is actually causing allergies. When I hear some of our clients
saying "I am allergic to even fruits and stuff.", it goes
undiagnosed and causes allergies to other food items.
So if you're dealing with a situation like that,
go ahead, cut out that regular milk there
and then go ahead and you can make your own.
If you're allergic to nuts, go ahead and use brown rice
or item... brown rice... you just cook it properly,
do the same ingredient. As a matter of fact...
And we don't even... Hold on... I've got to say.
We don't even talk about this and I don't know
if we're going to be cut on this, but if you're lactose
intollerant and if you have gase and whole digestive system
is just going crazy, it literally... I was surprised
to know how much of your whole body is involved.
It affects everything. This is why we always say
God never intended of his people to be sick.
Have you ever been sick? Majorly sick?
I was in a .. one time and my back was hurting me so bad,
I could not even pray literally. Just to breath it would hurt.
So this is why God doesn't want us to be sick,
because when we're sick, it's almost too late to even pray.
Now for those who are sick, we're not saying
"hey, don't pray." Pray, do what you can.
but let's do what we can to be in good health and then
by the grace of God recover and not only we'll be on the road
of recovery, but recover fully and then we can share it with
someone else.
So milk, morning milk. I brought some food out.
Watch this. We did the milk there, because it's a liquid
item. If you usually... we just encourage people
let's just drink water, because everything else usually has
preservatives, additives, all that other stuff.
But if you have to drink juice and something like that,
go ahead and drink it at the beginning part of your meal.
- Remember you just said... - Tiny amounts.
Right. Remember you said someting about the gas and
stuff like that. A lot of us are dealing with gas,
acid reflux and all these things which are making our prior
situation even worse, because we eat and drink at the same
time. So you noticed we made the milk. If you enjoy milk,
drink that before, at least 10- 15 minutes before you eat
meal and then we're going to start off with something fresh.
Did you ever had a big meal and then finish it off with
fresh fruits? What we want to do, we don't want to do that.
We want to start off with the fresh items.
Start off with the fresh items, so it can go ahead and cleanse
our system. And if you notice, when you eat the fruits,
it just washes down the system there. You feel great and stuff
like that and you're ready to tackle on that meal
and after that meal you're ready to tackle on the world.
Only one piece of advice
because the fresh items digest quicker.
So remember how we said, breakfast is not only going
to be fruits. We can throw some bananas in here,
as a matter of fact, I've got a couple of items. We're going
to mix this up. This is what we call detoxifying...
We've got somebody cheating in here, but we ain't going to
- ...catch it, don't worry. - Sorry.
This is what we call detoxifying tropical fruit salad.
No need to... everybody who's coming out of recovery
all I need to cleanse my system, I need to do this to my liver,
my poor kidneys, these poor kidneys and liver are just
taking abuse. So if we look at abuseful situations,
because God has stuff so he can do it naturally.
He has it naturally. As I told you, my accountant, he got
messed up, taking one of these herbal items to clean his
kidneys. His kidneys shut down, he was on dialisis.
And for those coming out of prior situations with a body
has taken a little beaten and abused, we don't need our body
to take any extra abuse. It can be all natural, if it
doesn't come in its natural form, then it's not natural.
You guys follow that.
Let me just say something for people that are coming from
the lifestyle that I've come from is that we can't even ...
water, we don't like the taste. If things don't taste right
to us, so really is acquiring a taste for what's natural again,
and that's going to take a process.
Are you ready for this? Whoever burnt their tongue before?
- You've ever burnt your tongue? - Yes.
You just... There you go, pizza with veggie cheese, of course...
No... but watch this.
- You ever burnt your tongue? - Yes.
Does your tongue stay burnt for about 3 or 4 weeks?
It stays for a few days.
A few days? So watch this. For those who are making this
change and I know it's a challenge to me. I used to eat
buffalo w..., I used to dray?.. I used to do a little bit
of everything. Watch this: just give it about 2, 3, 4 days
your taste .. will change just like that.
Amen. How cool is that!
Ok, you don't have to be trying this for ever.
Show us something.
As a matter of fact, I want ...you.
Ok, what am I doing?
What we're going to do in the first part here...
I'll be like a little susha. Alright, so...
What we're going to do we're going to take that banana,
we're going to cut it out and we're going to look at
some other items there, while you go ahead and do that.
We just took some pineapples.
I'll grab the other part of the pineapple here.
So you teach us while I'm cutting up. Tell us something
cool about health. Because you know why?
I so believe that this is one of the most important things
for us when anybody is trying to come out of any kind of
lifestyle is to realize that if you help your body with this,
if you help your body in your recovery, that it would be so
much easier ...
The transition is a breeze after that, so what we have to do
we have to assist, we have to aid the body, we just don't
come out of recovery and just say
"Hey, here it is, a totally brand new body."
No. We have to work. You know how they say
"No pain, no gain." Same situation here.
As a matter of fact, did you know this is helping you,
this banana itself? Most people will come out of recovery
because they we're on that major high all the time.
When they come out, what happens? They go on major low.
Did you know banana has small trace elements of serotonin?
No way! And serotonin is just what makes you feel good...
Exactly. So for those who already will be coming down
and they're about to fall into depression and stuff like that
throw up some bananas, every morning and by the grace of God
it's going to help balance that outfit.
Amen.
So we got the bananas there. We're looking at some pineapple.
Pineapple is one of the best items to neutralize the acid
along with that banana there and ...
It's also a natural diuretic, so literally if you feel puffy
and things are not working and literally it will kind of work
that too. More than talking a pill.
It's healthier and more natural.
It's even better. We went ahead and cut it out. We don't want
no fingers left on the set here, because I heard Cherie saying
- ...she's not the master. - He so doesn't trust me.
I went ahead and I cut up there the papaya for you.
So the kiwi and then the papaya.
Kiwi is going to help boost our immune system now,
because a lot of times, when you come out, you find yourself...
- Here you go - Ok. Cool. Thank you.
...you find yourself catching colds, flus quite often
or whatever like that. What you're going to do
How cool does this look! Amen.
...you have to include this every morning.
Now, what your favourite fruit?
You know what? I really like mangoes, papaya,
I really like that kind of fruit, tropical fruit.
As a matter of fact, you can put mangoes in there.
I love mangoes.
The only thing we say is maybe keep it up by a minimum of 3
or maximum of 3 to 4 fruits and then you're done right there.
Watch this. Now because... I know you...
Let me move this. Let me take this out of the way.
- Let me grab that spoon there. - All right. You got it.
I know you're going to go home and your husband
is like "man, I can't believe you did a cooking program."
- I know how fun... - Watch this.
When you go back home, you just not make any fruit salad,
you're going to do with a style.
- Ok. - All right.
So what you do that pineapple that we got, we got it fresh
anyway and so all you do you just cut it out and then
I'll just put this to a side here. And when he wakes up in
the morning and he's ready to run off to work and stuff
like that... I'll just put this right...
...go ahead and fill those in for him.
How fun is that because that is with all the sudden
not only good is for you, but it looks fabulous.
Why can't we do it in style? Recovery in style.
So I'm looking forward because I'm going to come by and visit..
Because we did our acting having style.
- Yeah, there it is. - Do you know what I mean?
- There is not any regular act. - No way.
We went ... My mum told me in some of the situations...
They could have done a film. Look how cool this is.
And then you got that right there. Just in case your friends
stop acting up, no worries.
Just go ahead and enjoy all yourselves from these fruits,
but this is not the only part.
Should I set this is over here?
- Yeah, we're done there. - All right.
As a matter of fact, since you went over here already...
I want to show you... Since we were talking about detoxifying
we do need to clean the body. Yes, there are some residues
of past drugs and certain things that we used to use in the past,
but we're going to do it naturally.
And so we saw in breakfast what we are going to use.
So we got the detoxifying fruit salad, however we're going to
try to avoid using fruits and veggies at the same time,
because it causes indigestion and they have different
properties. But for lunch time, today we're not going to do
lunch or items like that, you have to have lunch.
The first part of breakfast... we're not done our breakfast
yet, because if you eat only those fruits,
what's going to happen in about an hour?
- Your blood sugar, right? - Blood sugars are good
but if you eat only only fruits for breakfast,
what's going to happen in an hour or two?
- Hungry. - You're going to be starving.
Then you're going to be tempted to go to that vending machine,
grab that soda and get on your new addictions.
And ??? it was my favourite thing when I was
in recovery. I literally would put butter on them and put
them in the oven and I thought that was just heaven.
And that was my breakfast, so could you imagine how
strung out I was, even in my recovery?
So if I do fruit, it's really going to be kind of like that,
even though it's healthy, it will cause my blood sugar
to stay erratic and I will be hungry sooner.
Yes, but that's why that's not going to be our only problem.
We can have the second part coming up here.
But for lunch time or something like that, if you want the best
detoxifier in your body... Here you can grab one,
we won't be cutting up today or whatever... Artichoke
is a natural detoxifier of the liver, it cleans out
ther liver, it helps with the kidneys and it's fantastic.
However, just not artichoke dipped with the cheese and all
that good stuff. But all you have to do is peel it off,
you can use it raw, you can use it in soups
and in other items like that.
So what we are going to do, we're going to get the other
one set up here, but we're going to come back to you, guys
and in just about a second to finish the brain food
of breakfast, the breakfast of champions and the breakfast
in the role to recovery as well. We'll see in a second.
