00:15 Welcome to A Taste of Paradise.
00:17 My name is Evita Tezeno. 00:19 How do you like our new kitchen? 00:21 Isn't it fabulous? 00:23 I just want to thank you for your generous gifts, 00:26 God has really blessed. 00:28 And keep on sending them 00:30 because we need the blessings. 00:33 God is good, isn't He? 00:35 He is such a wonderful Father. 00:38 And I have been thinking about the wonderful gifts 00:41 that He has given us. 00:42 He has given us such array of fruits and vegetables, 00:46 all different types of colors, it's just amazing. 00:49 And I was walking through the supermarket the other day, 00:52 and I was just looking at all the array of colors 00:57 and just smelling the different 01:00 aromas of the vegetables and fruit, 01:02 and I came across the cabbage. 01:04 Now a lot of people don't talk about cabbage 01:06 because it's an underrated vegetable. 01:09 But the cabbage is amazing. 01:11 It has internal healing properties as well as 01:15 external healing properties. 01:17 It is good for skin eruptions 01:20 or inflammations as eczema or psoriasis. 01:24 And internally, it's good for, 01:27 if you have any ulcers 01:29 or any other inflammations inside. 01:32 So cabbage is fantastic, 01:35 so we're gonna do a Cabbage Salad today, 01:37 that not only is nutritionally good for you, 01:41 but also touts a very good flavor. 01:44 Let's go to the recipe. 02:35 So here is our cabbage 02:39 which is finely chopped 02:42 and this is a really quick recipe. 02:44 Everything that is in this recipe 02:47 can be obtained from the grocery store. 02:49 Maybe the yeast flakes, 02:52 may not be able to be bought at the grocery store, 02:58 but mostly you could run out and you could do this today. 03:04 And we have our radishes. 03:06 And this is, I call this a power packed vitamin C salad 03:10 because cabbage is really rich in vitamin C 03:13 and also radish is real rich in vitamin C as well. 03:19 Now you can use red onions 03:22 but if you don't like red onions, 03:23 you could use a green onions 03:26 'cause they have a little milder taste. 03:30 So all we're doing is just palling all the vegetables 03:35 in a really nice in a bowl. 03:38 And if you don't like jalapenos, peppers, 03:40 you don't have to have them 03:42 but they also are rich in vitamin C as well. 03:45 And they also help rev up your metabolism as well. 03:49 And I love the little spice in the jalapenos. 03:56 And then we have a avocado. 04:01 And I love avocado. 04:04 It is a healthy fat... 04:09 and it makes you full as well. 04:11 So if you need, 04:13 you're not quiet full 04:15 when you're eating a salad, put some avocado in it, 04:18 and it will give you that extra fullness, 04:22 without weighing you down. 04:23 So we're just gonna chop this up, 04:26 just real quickly. 04:31 I'm making a mess here. 04:34 But isn't food better when it's messy? 04:43 Okay, so then the dressing is real easy. 04:48 All you do is put the ingredients in a bowl, 04:52 which you have your Braggs, your olive oil, 04:57 your nutritional yeast, your lemon juice, 05:02 and you just whiz it. 05:07 So I'm just gonna whisk it like this just real simple. 05:14 I'm gonna get my bowl out, so I can be able to plate it. 05:27 Okay... 05:32 pour the dressing on it. 05:36 See how simple that is. 05:38 Very, very simple. 05:40 Very simple recipe. 05:42 I'm gonna toss it just a little bit 05:43 to make sure that you have the salad dressing 05:47 all incorporated 05:49 and the avocados which are my favorite. 05:53 And you know what the secret ingredient 05:55 is in cabbage, it's sulfur. 05:58 And sulfur helps cleanse the blood. 06:02 And it also it's the sulfur 06:04 that helps with the skin eruptions 06:06 and also with inflammation. 06:13 So let's put our salad 06:19 in our beautiful red bowl, isn't it beautiful? 06:23 Look at that. 06:29 And then we're gonna add a little cilantro on top. 06:40 Now this is a quick easy salad that is, 06:42 I call it fast food. 06:44 It is fast, wasn't it quick? 06:46 Again a fabulous recipe 06:48 from the kitchen of Taste Of Paradise, 06:51 and remember to live life fresh. 07:00 Juicy smooth. 07:02 Is it really that smooth to drink juice? 07:06 Well, today, we're gonna learn 07:07 some of the simple basic principles 07:09 about the importance of juice 07:11 and maybe the drawbacks of even juicing. 07:15 But let us stop here real quick. 07:17 We all love some juice. 07:18 I enjoy some 100% grape juice once in a while, 07:22 I know you do, too. 07:23 And matter of fact, even a Bible talks about juice. 07:25 Yes, the Bible talks about juice, 07:27 and it shows us that juice is a special item, 07:30 a nice little sweetie as some people would say 07:32 that we can have them in special occasions. 07:35 One person even said, "Jesus himself loves juice." 07:38 Yes, you remember when He hung out 07:40 at that wedding? 07:42 They ran out of the wine aka juice, 07:44 and ultimately, 07:46 you remember what his mom said, his mom said, 07:48 "Do whatever He says, 07:49 and we'll get some juice again." 07:51 And even Jesus was like, "Hold on, Mom, 07:53 I like the juice." 07:54 Now this is the Nyse international version. 07:56 But, man, please, this is not my time. 07:59 But even Jesus listened to his mom 08:01 and what did he do? 08:02 He turned the water into juice. 08:04 Juice is for special occasions. 08:06 So today, we're gonna look at is juice really 08:10 the coolest smoothest thing to do. 08:13 I know there is a lot of fast, 08:14 there is now juice diets going on, 08:16 and everybody is going crazy, and it works for this 08:18 and it works for that, but at the end of the day, 08:21 is it really something that works? 08:23 What happens is when a person goes on aka juice fast, 08:27 the body now starts to use up 08:29 a lot of its glycogen stores, why? 08:32 Because now juice doesn't have any carbohydrates, 08:35 it doesn't, it's very low in calories as well. 08:38 So when a person does a juice fast 08:40 over a short period of time, 08:41 they use a lot of what is known as water weight. 08:44 So after two, three, four days 08:45 or what they do a seventh day plan, then voila, 08:49 "Wow, I just lost 10 pounds." 08:51 But what happens as soon as they eat something again, 08:54 maybe something that has carbs or calories 08:56 or something of the nature 08:57 'cause you can't do juicing forever. 08:59 What happens? 09:00 Bam, the weight comes right back. 09:02 So is juicing the best thing, it has its purpose, 09:05 and let's look at the Bible what it says again. 09:07 It says that you can use it for special occasions, 09:09 weddings, festivals, feasts. 09:11 Some of us we already celebrated 09:13 three weddings today alone. 09:15 Ten feasts this week, 09:16 but what did they drink every other day of the gear? 09:19 They drank what? Water. 09:21 When else did the Bible talk about juice? 09:22 When you're not feeling too well, 09:24 so maybe if somebody is dealing with a ill, 09:27 cold or flu, maybe a disease or something, 09:30 they can use a little juice to do, what? 09:32 Boost a body back with vitamins and minerals and antioxidants. 09:36 And then after that 09:38 what is the best thing we should do? 09:39 Go back to the food and drink what again, everybody? 09:41 Water. 09:42 Water is what God gave us, so let's enjoy that. 09:45 So are we saying juicing is good or bad? 09:48 What I say is let's find a balance, 09:49 use it for special occasions as I did tell you, 09:52 it does have antioxidants. 09:54 So if an individual is using so much antioxidants 09:57 all everyday of the week, what happens when we're sick, 10:00 and a body needs a little boost of vitamins and minerals? 10:02 The body looks at that juice again and says, 10:04 "Whoa, I've seen you all week already, 10:07 you're not gonna help me anymore or less." 10:09 So the best thing is always eat your food 10:12 instead of drinking your food. 10:14 But juice is a good thing 10:15 and so today we're gonna look at 10:16 how to prepare some simple healthy 10:20 juice recipe 10:22 or maybe even a smoothie as well, 10:24 that will be beneficial for you 10:26 and for me on special occasions. 10:28 So come with me to the kitchen, 10:29 while we prepare some of this nice, 10:32 one of my favorite recipes for helping us 10:34 is the Green Super Juice, what is it called? 10:37 The green super juice 10:39 and here is the recipe on how you can make 10:41 your green super juice. 10:43 The recipe is... 10:56 Yeah, that's all you need to make this super green, 11:00 super juice, and it's fantastic. 11:02 And matter of fact, 11:03 I'll get this thing running here, 11:04 it'll make a little bit of noise 11:06 but we're gonna juicing it. 11:07 I always want to use real quick, 11:09 I want to use some of the leafier items first, 11:13 so they can get down in there 11:15 'cause they usually give you a little challenge 11:17 to get them going, so here we go. 11:38 All right, get that going a little bit. 12:00 I'm gonna get my spinach. 12:36 And if you notice, 12:38 they give a little challenge going down, 12:39 you just got to work with it. 12:49 Carrots. 13:37 And parsley. 13:58 Yep. 14:15 Got to get my money's worth. 14:22 Whoa! 14:23 That was a workout, you got to exercise 14:25 form doing all this juicing here, 14:27 and that's also another benefit from doing that there. 14:30 Now what I have here, 14:32 I put another little strainer here 14:35 'cause it becomes very frothy 14:37 and I'll just scoot this out right over here. 14:41 Man, if you all can take a look at that, 14:43 it looks like a rainbow a little bit. 14:46 This is your, your nice, 14:50 green juicy juice. 14:53 Now this is very good. 14:54 We all know the benefits of kale 14:56 and the benefits of spinach it. 14:59 The benefits of beet, it's good for the blood, 15:01 they kill the antioxidants, all of this especially, 15:04 the carrots, the carrots with vitamins A 15:07 and it's fantastic. 15:09 However, if you notice what happened here. 15:12 Let me just go ahead 15:13 and I'm gonna pour this out here for you. 15:16 Whoa. 15:18 Man, my mom used to make me drink this growing up. 15:21 Then I thought it was punishment, 15:23 it's not always the sweetest thing, 15:25 some people would usually add like a apple to it 15:28 or something of that nature to make it a little sweeter. 15:31 And so this here is powerful and it will give you a boost. 15:34 Anytime I feel a little itch in a throat, 15:36 I would drink something like this 15:38 to get that rolling and knock it out, 15:40 to give myself an extra boost of antioxidants. 15:43 That only catches if you do it so often 15:45 then you're always on this like high of antioxidants 15:48 and if you notice, I'm not making fun 15:50 but when you drink a lot of juice, 15:52 you always boom in with energy you're like whoo, whoo, 15:55 and you're like, "Man, what's up with them?" 15:57 It's because you've taken in a lot of sugars 15:58 but here natural sugars, of course. 16:01 Here is the key item, when a person juices, 16:05 they remove God's natural valve from the food. 16:10 Yes, they remove a natural valve. 16:13 Can anybody tell me, what is God's natural valve? 16:16 I know, you'll are thinking about it. 16:17 You like to just juice or whatever. 16:19 And here it is the natural valve 16:21 that God has given us, 16:23 if you all can see here is fiber. 16:26 Yes, fiber. 16:28 I remember, my mom, she had cancer 16:31 and the Lord blessed her, 16:33 she made some changes in her lifestyle, 16:35 and she got over her cancer, right? 16:37 So she called me the other day, she says, 16:39 you're going all around the world, 16:41 help our people to balance their blessings, you know, 16:43 aka it you know, lose weight, 16:45 to balance their weight. 16:46 And she says, you're not helping me. 16:48 And she says, I know I'm a little over blessed, 16:50 but help me. 16:52 I said, "Mom, I can't help you 'cause you don't listen." 16:54 You know, it's really cool as parents age a little bit, 16:57 you know, the table start to turn a little bit, 17:00 but you know it doesn't turn too much 17:01 'cause if mom is upset, 17:02 would you, you do something wrong, 17:04 she'll still give you spanking. 17:05 But I said, "You don't listen, you have a hardhead, Mom." 17:07 And she says, "Okay, I'll listen." 17:09 I said, "What are you doing? 17:10 Are you exercising, are you doing this? 17:12 Are you doing that?" And she says yes. 17:14 "Are you eating well?" She says yes. 17:16 I said, "What about juices and stuff of that nature?" 17:19 She says, "Well, I'm juicing. 17:20 I said, "Why are you still juicing? 17:22 She said, "It healed me of cancer." 17:25 Let's call a timeout, everybody. 17:27 Juice is good. 17:28 It has a lot of vitamins and minerals. 17:30 But there is no healing power in the juice. 17:32 Healing only comes from who? 17:34 God. 17:35 He blesses us when we are faithful, 17:37 when we listen and are obedient and we take care of our body. 17:41 The reason why people get better 17:42 is 'cause they're obedient 17:44 and they're going back o the natural diet 17:45 that God has given them. 17:47 But I said, "Mom, the healing wasn't in the carrot juice, 17:49 the healing was God, amen." 17:51 And so she said okay. 17:53 I said, "Why? 17:54 You don't need to drink that juice in general 17:57 'cause you're not sick anymore." 17:58 The Lord blessed her and cancer was gone. 18:00 And she says, "Oh, yeah." 18:02 I said, "Let me ask you a quick question. 18:03 How many carrots and beets does it take to make what, 18:07 one glass of juice?" 18:09 Well, we just used three carrots, one bead, 18:12 two celery, a cup, a half a cup of kale 18:16 and all of that stuff. 18:17 So I asked one simple question, 18:18 and you all can help me answer this. 18:20 Can you eat all of that? 18:23 Can you eat all of what we just made here? 18:26 And most people will say what? 18:27 No, and my mom says no. 18:30 I could only probably eat two carrots. 18:32 I know I'm a little blessed. 18:34 Yeah, maybe a little over blessed, 18:36 but I'm not greedy. 18:38 And you know what? 18:39 She is right, she's not greedy. 18:41 Why can she not eat all of this? 18:43 Why can you not eat all of this? 18:45 After your first or second carrot 18:48 because the valve is still in it. 18:49 What is the valve everybody? 18:51 Fiber. 18:52 Yes, this fiber because the fiber is still in it, 18:55 it does what? 18:56 Fiber's indigestible, 18:58 that means your body can't digest 18:59 so what does fiber do? 19:01 It goes and swells up on you 19:03 and starts cleaning the lining of the digestive track 19:07 and starts getting everything out. 19:09 But at the same time, when you try to go 19:12 and eat another carrot, the body says stop. 19:16 Why? 19:17 Because you are now what, you are now full. 19:20 Follow closely. 19:22 That means your body is not allowing you 19:24 to take in too much. 19:25 But when I juice it, I remove the fiber 19:30 and then I'm just left with this, 19:32 and the body cannot now say what, no. 19:35 So let's call a timeout again. 19:37 Are we saying juicing is bad? 19:39 No, you can use it for special occasions, 19:42 but every other day, eat the food. 19:45 The fiber is crucial, it's necessary for you. 19:48 The body would do its job naturally 19:51 if we just take care of it the way we need to. 19:53 Another thing that individuals will say, 19:55 I needed to detoxify the body. 19:58 And I've shared this before. 19:59 But I have a tip for you, 20:01 it's going to come out in a book. 20:02 Yeah, I don't know if I should tell you all about this tip, 20:05 but this tip this is a book that I'm working on here, 20:08 is one simple tip for detoxifying your body. 20:11 Does anybody know how to detoxify your body naturally? 20:14 All right, some would say water, 20:16 some would say exercise, 20:17 some will say do the juicing and stuff. 20:18 Now that would help 20:20 but the best way to cleanout your body 20:22 is just don't put in what you want to clean out. 20:26 You guys know what I'm talking about there? 20:28 Don't put in what you need to cleanout. 20:30 So if you know you're eating food 20:32 that you shouldn't be eating, 20:33 then just stop eating it, as simple as that. 20:36 Don't eat it anymore, and you will be okay. 20:39 The body would naturally clean it out, why? 20:41 Because you have the fiber, you have the artichoke. 20:44 Hello, you know, I always have to bring artichoke 20:46 on a program here. 20:47 Artichoke naturally detoxify the liver. 20:49 Many individuals would use juicing to detoxify, 20:52 but actually, I'll say this quietly, 20:54 don't get me in trouble. 20:56 Do you know when a person does it 20:58 for a long period of time 20:59 and they don't eat food and they're just only juicing, 21:01 it actually slows down your metabolism 21:04 and in some instances permanently. 21:07 Why does it slow down? 21:08 'Cause the body is not digesting food, 21:10 so the body says, "I'm out of here. 21:12 I'm done. You do it on your own." 21:14 But the good news is 21:15 you can use it for what, everybody, 21:17 special occasions, 21:19 the rest of the time eat it because digestion, 21:22 can you tell me where digestion begins? 21:24 Digestion begins in the mouth. 21:25 You need to chew your food. 21:27 So here's the next question. 21:29 Well, what if I don't per say juice 21:31 or just have it on special occasion? 21:33 What if I make a smoothie? 21:35 You see 'cause when you chew food, 21:37 the body releases enzymes that attach to the food 21:41 and when it gets to the stomach, 21:42 then it's ready for the second part of digestion. 21:45 But the first part everybody is what? 21:47 Chewing, mastication, 21:49 I'm not going to get into how many times 21:50 you should be chewing, you ever heard that? 21:52 So an individual will say, chew 20 times. 21:54 I'm like that is stressful. 21:56 Can you imagine trying to eat food 21:57 one, two, three, four, five, six. 21:59 No, just eat your food but eat it slowly, 22:02 take your time, but what about smoothies? 22:04 Smoothies keep the fiber. 22:07 They do but when you're drinking or eating 22:10 or whatever a smoothie, where does the digestion begin? 22:14 It hits the stomach first, so everybody follow closely. 22:18 If it hits the stomach first, 22:20 then you're not really helping the digestion. 22:23 Why? 22:24 A lot of time smoothie came above 22:26 because a person was so sick in a hospital, 22:28 so we're in the hospital, 22:29 we're walking by and we see a person that's sick 22:31 and he can't really eat the food, right? 22:34 So as a result, they put a tube down 22:36 and what do they have to do because they can't chew, 22:38 we have the blend the food so we can get it down 22:40 so they can get some kind of nutrition. 22:43 Now that helps but for a person who can chew, 22:47 that may not be the best thing, okay, 22:49 because digestion begins where, in the mouth. 22:52 So if you ever notice, 22:53 if you go to amusement park or anywhere, 22:56 they put a band around you that you have to pay to go in, 22:58 when you go for a ride or you finally get to the ride, 23:00 they look to see if you have a band. 23:02 If you don't have a band, what happens? 23:04 They say, "Get out of here. Go back and pay." 23:07 It's the same thing with food. 23:09 When you chew your food, it attaches enzymes to it. 23:13 And when it gets to the stomach, it says, 23:15 "You are now ready, 23:16 'Here's my band' for Step number two." 23:19 So it's not always the best thing 23:21 to be drinking it, it's the best thing to eat it. 23:23 However, can we have a smoothie once in a while? 23:27 Don't be a party pooper. 23:28 Yes, we can have a smoothie once in a while, 23:31 and just in special occasions. 23:34 And if you're going to do a smoothie, 23:36 I have a special smoothie for you. 23:37 I call it the Wo Man, right everybody. 23:41 The Wo Man so it's good for, who? 23:43 Women and men, the Wo Man super smoothie. 23:47 Check out the simple recipe on how to make 23:49 the Muscle Wo Man super smoothie. 23:52 All you need is... 24:07 But don't forget your banana of course. 24:15 So here it is. 24:16 We're gonna make the Wo Man, what are we going to make? 24:18 The Wo Man Muscle Smoothie. 24:21 And this is good 24:22 because it's good for the muscles, 24:23 the joints, the bones, 24:25 and then you got to have your blender, of course. 24:29 All right, so we have a blender. 24:32 And then where's the rest of my stuff? 24:33 And then you have your blender top here. 24:35 Okay. 24:36 And this is the easiest one that you can make. 24:39 Oh, another thing with that juice, 24:41 once you make it, 24:42 you have to drink it right away. 24:44 None of this packing it up and bringing it to work 24:47 because it's not pasteurized, 24:48 it can develop other bacteria and stuff, 24:50 so once you make it, 24:52 now that is exposed to the air, what you need to do? 24:54 Drink it right away, all right. 24:56 So here all we're gonna do is we're gonna take our banana. 24:59 This is the Wo Man banana's very good, 25:02 we all know the potassium. 25:04 But you know what else bananas is good for? 25:05 If a person is having a little problem with number two, 25:08 you know, what I mean by number two, 25:09 little diarrhea, it helps to fix that. 25:11 If they have little constipation, 25:13 it helps to fix that. 25:15 Let's not talk about that anymore. 25:16 All right, then we're going to have our almonds, 25:18 you can put the almonds in first to blend it. 25:20 But if you have a really good blender, 25:22 you don't have to worry about that, they all blend up. 25:24 Then we're going to add a couple of other items, 25:27 we're going to take some oats here. 25:30 Now this is toasted oats, these are not raw oats. 25:33 Sesame, why are we adding sesame seeds? 25:37 Sesame seeds is loaded, loaded with calcium 25:41 and then flaxseeds 25:43 helps to fight against inflammation, 25:46 and it keeps things running smoothly. 25:48 And then, of course, 25:50 we're gonna add some water to that, 25:51 so let me grab some water. 25:56 All right, so we got some water here. 26:00 And don't forget, of course, we're gonna add about a cup. 26:04 Don't forget your honey, okay. 26:07 Now some people will use soymilk or something, 26:10 you can use that as well 26:12 but basically, with the almonds, 26:13 you're almost making your own almond milk 26:15 so about two table spoons, all right. 26:19 And it should be good there. 26:21 And let's get the top on and then we get that going. 26:53 All right, so watch this, I have that there. 26:56 If you want to give it a extra little punch, 26:58 you remember I have some of the juice here 27:00 at the beginning real quick. 27:01 I'm looking for my juice, I'm gonna run over, 27:02 grab my juice. 27:05 All right, I have pineapple juice. 27:08 I also have grape juice. 27:09 You can add a little bit of juice if you want, 27:12 you remember, special occasion. 27:14 And then, 27:17 so now it's going to look really cool. 27:27 And then voila, you're done 27:29 with your Wo Man Super Smoothie. 27:34 Now remember, only special occasions, 27:36 and if you can make it as thick as possible, 27:38 it is usually good. 27:40 All right, so here you go, and you pour that out, 27:43 and you're good. 27:45 But even though we've made this 27:46 and they're tasty and they're helpful for you, 27:49 don't forget, most importantly, these are good, 27:52 but it's always better to eat your food. 27:54 Digestion begins where, in the mouth. 27:57 Okay, not in the stomach but in the mouth, 27:59 help you body and eat your food. |
