Lemon with ginger – banal simplicity for great results and how flour does not help / Prophylactic self-isolation series. Day 223rd.

Overture

The days are getting colder and rainy, why not to drink a vibrant, vitamin-packed beverage which will wash away some mucus and will clean the inner world?

By the way, mucus is formed when we eat ANY flour-based food, ANY! Flour (wheat flour) is a great mucus-forming junk food. It forms mucus inside a body constantly, the mucus which then a body tries to expel (through a nose, a throat, eyes, sometimes even intestines) in autumns and springs – the natural way of a body’s self-cleaning.

Flour (wheat flour) is a great mucus-forming junk food

So, to minimize mucus formation one should make a favor for him/her self in two steps:

1. stop devouring flour foods (any wheat flour, including so-called “whole-grain flour” is flour junks)
2. drinking a special lemon/ginger beverage

Why does this mucus forms?

While consuming flour-based products, mucus forms as a protective layer between the vital living tissues and potentially hazardous material – flour. While grain by itself is generally OK, flour represents the material of micro (if not nano) particles, which penetrate easily anywhere where possible inside the body and accumulate anywhere where possible. However, all these possible places (inside cells, in the specific liquid between the cells) are not designed by Nature to carry those flour microparticles. The body becomes clogged day by day, month by month, year by year, life by life! Are you in or are you out of this? I know it is hard to step out, I know it:)
