Soo’s New Diet in Montreal I am new in town to Montreal, Canada. Because I am not sure how long I am going to be here, I did not move my kitchen from LA. Basically I have nothing to cook with. It was challenging for me in the beginning. I was continuously hungry and my tummy was not tolerant with outside food. However, I still want to eat well and enjoy the food that the locals in Montreal have to offer. I did some research and my new eating method seems to be working. It is very simple, efficient and free from animal product! My breakfast Home Made Muesli: Oats, Nuts, Seeds and Fresh Fruits It is better and cheaper to make you own: Choose your preferred muesli base or mix both: Oats / Barley Variety of Nuts: Raw Almond, Raw walnuts or any other of your favorite nuts. But get them in raw. ( I mix at least 5 different kinds of nuts) Variety of Seeds: Chia, Flax (mandatory), Hemp ( 1-2 tea spoons each of them) , Sunflower, Pumpkin etc. ( Mix at least 4 different kinds of seeds) Variety of Fresh Fruit: ( 3 different kinds), Dried fruit ( not too much because it would be too sweet) Optional: Cucumber: I sometimes love to mix it in my bowl. Yummy and surprisingly it goes well with it. Cucumber is a veggie that you can eat with fruit. Finally, non-sweetened Almond Milk ( I prefer) or Soy milk I eat most of my fruits in the morning only. I try to not mix my veggies and fruits except cucumber, tomato, sprouts. You will get fermentation if you mix most fruits and most veggies because fruits are much faster to digest then veggies. Veggies + Grains = OK Fruit...
What to Eat?

What to Eat? These are my notes what I believe that the best foods to eat are to enhance our immune system against cancer. Writing in English is still a challenge for me and even worse with biology words so please bear it with me. It is only going to be better. The adult human body is made up of about 60-90 trillion cells and over 200 different kind of cells. In means, if you lined up all the cells in a human body end-to-end, you could actually circle the earth 4.5 times. So keeping your health well also means that you are protecting your healthy cells. The question is how we can keep our cells safe. One of most important part thing of the cell is the cell surface. Because the antenna on the cell surface is a key to healthy development and disease prevention. Next one is Mitochondria. Mitochondria are the energy factories of the cells. The cell will have a lot of structures that are capable of producing a high amount of available energy. Therefore, “the best food” means that has a lot of materials which will protect our cells. We also need to know what will destroys our cells. Free Radicals are the most harmful thing our body ever produced. It destroys our cell surface, Mitochondrial and does damage to our DNA. It plays a role in inflammatory disease and progression to cancer. The amount of Free Radicals our body produces is depend on our life style. Our body produce more if you do over eating, over working and are stressed etc. It is important how much Free Radicals are been produced and it is also important the direction it takes. Normally, the body can handle free radicals, but if antioxidants are unavailable, or if the free-radical production...
Questioning the Food We Eat...

Questioning the Food We Eat This is my personal story of how looking at the food I eat has helped me to improve my health. I am a computer animation artist working on movies and living in Los Angeles. I’ve been working pretty much non stop for the last 11 years in 3 different countries. Like most people, I’ve spent most of my time at work and on other “high” priority things in life. And unfortunately, I wasn’t able to give much attention to my health. I generally didn’t have any serious problems with my health and I always felt that I was relevantly healthier than most. Therefore questioning what I eat everyday didn’t get my attention. Since I’ve left home, I’ve eaten whenever and whatever is available. Like most of people in modern society, we squeeze our meal times in during our working hours. I developed my own way of my cooking. Whatever I eat should not take more than 15 min to prepare. It has to be quick to cook and also delicious. Because of this, most of the time, I just ate some kind of convenient food or pre-made food. 3 months ago, I finally had time to take a break from work. On my first day from not working in June 2013, my body wanted to get up at 7 AM as usual and get ready to go to work. My brain had to tell my body: “No work to go to today!”. How funny that the body remembers it’s daily routine. My high blood pressure pill The first thing I do in the morning is take my high blood pressure pill. Obviously I had too much time to kill. That morning, I was staring at the bottle for a while. It says Lisinopril 7.5...
