Brace yourself its an
eating frenzy between
now and the end
of the year. The office parties
and gatherings at
homes are ready
to entice
you with delicious
food offerings. Besides watching
your waistline grow, there
can be
danger lurking
in the delectable
food dish in front of you.
If
you watched the news this summer, cases of E. Coli from spinach caused
a scare
and the recall of packaged spinach. Packaged lettuce was also
a concern
for E. Coli contamination.
Many of the parties
and pot lucks
have food left out over
a long period of time
and may not be safe
to eat later in the day. Your best strategy
is to get there early
when the
food is just put out for consumption. Of course getting there early usually guarantees the best
selection of
food choices.
Most people
who bring in potluck items are conscientious enough
to prepare food in
a cleanly manner. Most caterers
have to abide by health department regulations.
So what do
you do
to protect
yourself from consuming something that may be unhealthy for you? Theres always the sniff test
and the appearance test.
You can usually tell
if some food dish
is getting crusty from being left out
and then you know
to stay away.
You may have
all star intuition or gut feeling tell you, this food
is not safe or appropriate for you
to eat. Chances are
your emotions take over
and you load
your plate with delicious looking comfort food ignoring those signals you get
to pass
on a particular food choice.
You may
even be sensitive
to the ingredients of a dish and have an allergic reaction if you eat it. This is a time to enjoy yourself and getting sick from eating at a party or potluck is not usually your idea of a fun time.
Many office refrigerators are prime
breeding grounds for neglected food that grows smelly and moldy. Throwing out that food is a
no-brainer, and yet the habit of leaving it for
someone else to toss prevails.
One of the first steps is to pitch in and
make sure your home and office
refrigerator is cleaned and to toss that old food. When it comes to the office refrigerator, its usually left for
someone else to do and may not get done. Getting someone to help you clean the refrigerator (if you decide to take it on) is a harder sell than The Little Red Hen had
when she invited people to help her make the bread.
Its possible you have
survived the eating frenzy during these
holiday parties and
potlucks. You can be grateful that you have never had a problem. The enticement of free and plentiful food sometimes clouds your judgment to protect yourself from getting ill from consuming it.
One of the things you could do is to use
dowsing or
muscle testing (kineseology or device-less dowsing) to ask if the food you are about to put on your plate or into your mouth is safe for you to eat. Using dowsing with a pendulum at a public gathering may not make you look
too good.
But using device-less dowsing can give you the protection you need while being discreet in public. You can easily learn how to dowse with your fingers.
As with all dowsing you need to
establish a link with a higher power then establish a
yes and
no response. It is best if you test your yes and no response with questions you know the answers to like your name and birthday. There are several
different ways to use your fingers to dowse. One is rubbing your index and thumb in a circular motion, a stick usually is meant to be a yes and smooth movement can be the no response.
Asking dowsing questions is best to be phrased to get a yes or no response. For example, if you are questioning the safeness of a particular food dish, is this casserole safe for me to eat? And then you can ask, is it in the highest and best good for me to eat this brownie?
Well, when the sweet tooth hits sometimes
even the no response can be overridden. You have to decide in that moment whether the pleasure of eating that sweet treat now will be better than the possible expansion of the waist or even the discomfort you could feel from overstuffing yourself.
For some of you there can be a tendency of offering treats to your pets during the holidays. You need to be cautious when sharing people food to your pets. Be aware there have been recalls of pet treats and pet food. You cant have the Internet reports with you everywhere you go shopping for food, unless you have the latest and greatest
tech device.
Even then you can use device-less dowsing to check to see if that treat or bag of food is safe for your pet. I just
saw a coupon from a product that seems great for dogs and is meant to help clean teeth (it is the same color as lawns in the summer) I recall a report that revealed that some dogs became ill from this product and some dogs even died. For people who love their pets and treat them as family members, protecting them from toxic food products is vital to caring for your
pets health and avoiding high vet bills.
Enjoy yourself, and as they say, Eat, drink and be merry. Its always
easy to assume the safety of your food and your pets food until a recall or problem hits the news.
If you value your health and the health of your family and pets you will consider taking the steps you need to protect it.
