Heirloom Tomatoes – DE LISH OUS
Have you ever heard the term, “Brain Foods?” This term is used for good study foods that get the mind and body in a state where one can absorb information.
The brain needs nutrients in order to make new neural connections and new folds in its lobes.
One of the most important nutrients the brain needs is fat. Without natural healthy fats, the brain doesn’t function very well. But that’s not all. The brain needs blood. Also salt is required for neural connection firing. Potassium is important as well. Also selenium is important for lots of body functions. Psychology Today says that selenium is a cellular antioxidant.
An easy way to get many of these nutrients at once is to eat more food. This may seem strange in our society today. We are often told to eat less and to watch our calories. But in fact most of us aren’t getting the right kinds of foods as often as we should. This is especially true if one is doing heavy studying in the hard sciences, art and/or mathematics.
When I say food, I’m talking primarily about vegetables, legumes, nuts and quality fruits. Many of us are disgusted by vegetables because they look strange, they aren’t sweet and they aren’t fun. But if you watch the video below, you’ll see that vegetables are actually very fun.
I’m not vegetarian at all. I just ate two hamburgers yesterday with bacon on them. That’s about as non-vegetarian as it gets.
But I definitely make sure to eat lots of vegetables, mushrooms, nuts, legumes and other good foods as well as what I call, “Fun foods.” If you’re studying strenuously, you really have little choice. Pill-Form-Vitamins are preached all the time by internet gurus. But these pills are no way near as good as eating what is called, “A wide spectrum diet” look it up. See what other people are saying about eating lots of natural foods in ADDITION to your already established diet.
So let’s talk about Heirloom tomatoes. In the video and the picture above, they look like candy. They’re shiny, colorful and beautiful on the inside. But on the outside they look irregular, kind of scary and downright amorphous at times. Many people see a heirloom tomato for the first time and they think it is some other kind of fruit or vegetable like a pepper or something. They just don’t look like what we’re used to seeing.
Heirloom tomatoes have a natural source of iron, the best kind of natural water and many other nutrients. Why is water important? Well how much do you pay for bottled water? It isn’t cheap right! Imagine if you could buy a little bottle of water that was purified over several months and it had tremendous amounts of trace rare nutrients in it. That’s exactly what heirloom tomatoes do. They are a system that is created by the tomato vine which has the function of making little baby tomato vines. That’s what tomatoes are actually, they are basically the “fruit” of the tomato vine. So the vine puts tremendous amounts of work and energy into each heirloom tomato to make it a perfect vessel for its creation process. It’s a contained system, the seeds in the tomato get all the water they need from the fruit of the tomato in order to grow for its initial stages. So the water inside an heirloom tomato is very good for a human being. This is because human beings and other animals are part of the ecosystem which perpetuates the life-cycle of the tomato. So don’t feel bad about eating vegetables. They want us to eat them.
Also, you’ll see there are mushrooms in this video. These are cremini mushrooms that you can get at any supermarket. They taste great if they are boiled with the tomatoes. Mushrooms are naturally high in selenium and if you cook them thoroughly they simply taste great!
I hope you enjoy the video below!
