Pumpkin & ginger soup

Vegan, gluten-free and tasty.

Soups are bound to be something for everyone in every season.

One of our favorite healthy soups is a vegan & gluten-free tasty PUMPKIN & GINGER SOUP packed full of nutrition in every serving.

Ingredients:

1 kg pumpkin

2 shallots

75 g ginger

a few sprigs of fresh herbs: such as chives or mint

extra virgin olive oil

1 liter organic vegetable stock

125 ml coconut milk, plus extra to serve

½ tablespoon chili powder

1 lime

Preparation:

Deseed and roughly chop the pumpkin, peel and chop the shallots, then peel and finely grate the ginger. Pick and finely chop the herbs.

Place the pumpkin, shallots, ginger and some oil in a large saucepan and sauté until soft.

Add the stock, coconut milk and chili powder. Season, then bring to the boil and simmer for 40 minutes.

Blitz in a food processor then serve with the fresh herbs, lime juice and a splash of coconut milk.

Enjoy!!!

Note:

When eating the “wrong food” the immune system produces specific IgG antibodies which can lead to inflammatory processes. The symptoms appear on a delayed basis, up to three days after the consumption of a trigger food, making it virtually impossible to identify a trigger food without testing.

Do people know most paper receipts are harmful to their health?

I'm going to get up on my soapbox for a minute, but do people realize how pretty much everyone is being overloaded with endocrine disruptors like BPA/BPS on a near-daily basis??

I don't think many people understand that ever since most of the world transitioned to thermal paper receipts (cheaper than ink), almost every receipt you handle from the gas station to the grocery store to the Square terminal printer at the local co-op is coated with Bisphenol-A (BPA) or its chemical cousin Bisphenol-S (BPS).

These chemicals have not only been proven to cause reproductive harm to human and animals, they've also been linked to obesity and attention disorders.

Not sure if your receipt is a thermal receipt? If you scratch it with a coin and it turns dark, it's thermal.

BPA/BPS can enter the skin to a depth such that it is no longer removable by washing hands. When taking hold of a receipt consisting of thermal printing paper for five seconds, roughly 1 μg BPA is transferred to the forefinger and the middle finger. If the skin is dry or greasy, it is about ten times more. 

Think of how many receipts you handle every day. It's even worse for cashiers and tellers, who may handle hundreds in a single shift. It is also a class issue, since many people who work retail and food service are lower-income and will suffer worse health consequences over time from the near-constant exposure.

Not only that, receipts printed with thermal ink are NOT recyclable, as they pollute the rest of the paper products with the chemicals.

People don't know this and recycle them anyway, so when you buy that "green" toilet paper that says "100% recycled"? Yup, you are probably wiping your most sensitive areas with those same chemicals (for this reason, I buy bamboo or sugarcane toilet paper as a sustainable alternative to recycled paper).

This page from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency has some good links if you want to learn more.

As consumers, we need to demand better from our businesses and from our governments. We need regulation of these chemicals yesterday.

If you are a buyer or decision-maker for a business, the link above also contains a shortlist of receipt paper manufacturers that are phenol-free.

If you work at a register, ask customers if they want a receipt. If they don't and you can end the transaction without printing one, don't print one!

As a consumer, fold receipts with the ink on the inside, since that's where the coating is. Some more good tips here.

And whatever you do, DO NOT RECYCLE THERMAL RECEIPTS

Hypertension, inflammation and IgG antibodies

Hypertension (HT) is the leading preventable cause of premature death worldwide, and about every third person suffers from hypertension (1). In the long run, high blood pressure damages important organs such as the heart, blood vessels, the brain and the kidneys. Consequential diseases such as myocardial infarction, stroke, peripheral arterial occlusive disease, retinal damage or kidney damage result from the damaged vessels caused by high blood pressure.

Inflammation is a hallmark of hypertension, and there is a mounting evidence suggesting that chronic low-grade inflammation contributes to cardiovascular disease (CVD) including HT (2–5). Endothelial dysfunction, oxidative stress, cytokines, toll-like receptors, inflammasomes, and gut microbiome interact in a complex and intricate way (6). Reducing inflammation therefore contributes to successful prevention and management of hypertension. Systemic inflammation can also be triggered by food. Proteins or protein-derived compounds that occur in food may trigger the immune response of the body. The immune system takes food proteins or derived compounds as immunogens and generates food specific IgG antibodies, which bind to food particles and then induce an inflammatory response, which may lead to various symptoms or diseases, one of which is hypertension. Continuous and repeated consumption of the same foods that trigger IgG-mediated hypersensitivity reactions may thus promote and maintain silent inflammations. IgG-mediated food hypersensitivity can therefore be a trigger in drug resistant hypertension. In a recent study with hypertensive patients it was shown that hypertension correlated with higher values for IgG and IgA, and lower values for IgM (7).

Another key study, conducted with ImuPro, compared two groups of children (obese versus normal weight children). Blood samples were tested for food-specific IgG antibodies and the inflammatory marker C-reactive protein (CRP). The obese group had two and a half times the IgG antibodies against certain foods compared with the children in the normal weight range. They also had three times the levels of CRP than the normal weight group. The excess of IgG food antigens was associated with the thickness of the intima media, a pre-atherosclerotic damage, which is an inflammation-related cause of secondary hypertension. Food-specific IgG antibodies were found to be tightly associated with low grade systemic inflammation and correlated with elevated systolic blood pressure (8). Further studies point towards the connection between CRP as the main inflammation marker and increased IgG antibodies:

Obese subjects with IgG-positive anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae antibodies (ASCA) had both higher CRP values and body fat mass (9).

Suppression of intestinal inflammation and repair of intestinal barrier leads to decreased food induced immune responses and inflammation (10).

The serum CRP marker was correlated with foodspecific IgGs and disease activity in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (11).

In Crohn‘s disease, a high CRP value was correlated with an increased number of IgG-positive foods (12).

From the exposed, it can be assumed that food specific IgG antibodies mediate inflammatory responses, that are associated with increased CRP, a marker that exhibits a central role in the pathogenesis of hypertension (13–15).

There is evidence across a growing number of trials, showing that the elimination of IgG-reactive food results in improvements and symptom relief in a wide variety of diseases with shared inflammatory pathways (irritable bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome and chronic diarrhoea, migraine and headache, autoimmune diseases, obesity, psychiatric disorders, asthma, allergic skin diseases, allergic rhinitis or ankylosing spondylitis). Based on these data, it can be expected that an individualized elimination diet excluding IgG-reactive foods has a beneficial effect on blood pressure in hypertensive patients.
