Change Your Terrain!

I'm so excited!  I've just received my *Beyond Organic Terrain Kombucha and Terrain Sacred Herbs from my Elegant Living store.  Most of you know,  I'm a self-proclaimed salt-fiend. But I also love sour foods like pickles, sauerkraut and my absolute favorite, Kimchi (I just got a recipe from the mom of one of my Korean students that I cannot wait to try.)  I recently became a big drinker of kombucha.  This ancient beverage helps me sleep better and gives me a boost before and/or after my workout.  Now I have embraced the "power of sour" with these Beyond Organic fermented herb supplements that can be mixed into water, juice or taken straight.  Jordan Rubin says that the taste for salty and sweet have destroyed American health.  We've eschewed the taste of sour and bitter, two elements of that elusive umami taste, and with it our overall well being.

I added the liquid supplements to my elegant breakfast of champions.  What you see here is a bowl of grass-fed whole-fat yogurt with fresh organic blueberries and strawberries, a slice of organic sourdough bread topped with raw peanut butter and honey with some chia seeds stirred in and a glass of filtered water with two tablespoons each of *Beyond Organic Terrain Kombucha and Terrain Sacred Herbs.

The Terrain supplements are not as sour on the palate as I had anticipated.  You won't pucker up like you've sucked on a lemon.  On the contrary, you'll feel a nice little squeeze in the corner of your jaw with a very smooth finish. I'm accustomed to the sour taste, but for the newbies out there, you may take the edge off a bit by following these steps.

Smooth out your Terrain

What you need: 

One of these

Some of this

A lot of this

And one of these

In a tall glass, dissolve 1/2 tsp of raw honey in a small amount of warm water that you heated up in your ceramic camel tea pot.  Add 16-24 oz of Reign Supreme Spring water, filtered or purified water.  Then add desired amount of your chosen Terrain supplement, stir and enjoy!

 

*   One fish was born in a hatchery, raised in a tank with thousands of its cousins, fed soy and corn pellets and then was processed and turned into smoked salmon. Another fish was born under a rock in freezing cold water, ate plankton and other small marine creatures, fought it's way upstream just before being caught on a hook and turned into smoked salmon.  Which fish would you like to have on your bagel?  

     Beyond Organic Terrain living herbal supplement creates the optimum environment inside your body, similar to the story of the second fish.  It works specifically on the digestive and G.I. tract,  by introducing 15 strains of probiotics and other nutrients that have been unlocked by the slow fermentation process, but also helps all the body's systems work together harmoniously. 

     Fermented foods like the ones listed above contain new compounds that increase metabolism, lower cholesterol and blood pressure, as well as balance pH.  For instance, cabbage  contains a well-known cancer fighter called sulfurin, but fermented cabbage (sauerkraut) contains sulfurin AND four other compounds that beat down cancer cells. If you hate sauerkraut and would rather have a lobotomy than eat kimchi, then Terrain is for you. It is 100% organic, uses no chemicals or alcohol, combines the best of ancient wisdom with modern science and can be added to water or juice.  Use it instead of vinegar for an elegant salad dressing. Throw a couple tablespoons into soups or stir fries or marinades for chicken or fish.  The possibilities are endless.  No matter how you choose you use it, use it often and elegantly.
