Review: Kefir and Koso: healthy fermented beverages

I haven’t written about my diet in quite a while, so I thought I’d post something to denote when I began drinking Koso and kefir.

I began having some digestive issues, and quickly discovered the heartburn I had been experiencing was linked to the red wine I’d been drinking (even a small glass) every night.

Thus, in an effort to drink something unusual, non-alcoholic, and healthy for my gut, I found an organic, full fat kefir drink made by a family run business. I love this stuff! I started drinking it a few months ago and no more heartburn! Mind you, I had never experienced heartburn (or acid reflux) my whole life! My guess is because I am AB blood type and produce a very low amount of stomach acid. At any rate, cutting out the wine definitely resolved the issue. The kefir just helps rebuild healthy gut flora.

Then came, Koso.

Richard and I just happened upon some Japanese foodie type videos and one introduced us to Koso. Wow! We both love it! This stuff, mixed with sparkling mineral water is such a great substitute for wine and other alcoholic drinks for me! We’re now on the subscription plan for two bottles a month, but I may up it to three or four if I can stay off the alcohol. It’s THAT good! Yum!

I follow the Is-ness or ‘Snails Path’

Energy is the power behind ALL. Source creates. ALL rises, falls, undulates, pulsates, spins, whirls, collapses, expands, shrinks. The Dao (Daoism) emanates from the dot. Holism envelopes. ALL simply IS. Omniscience (Omnism) governs ALL.

MSG and low sodium diet

My friend and WildFit coach, asked me to give a rundown on all the many names for Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) some time back and I promised it would be the next blog article. Then I buried the request in my TO DO blog folder and completely forgot about it. But I opened that folder this weekend and decided, girl, I had better get on THIS! Ha!

If this is a controversial subject for you, I offer my humble apologies in advance. I had NO IDEA the topic of MSG was considered racist at all! So, I am not offering this information to be racist and please don’t take it that way. Of course, I cannot control how you will read (or listen) to this article, as we each see life through a unique lens and can choose which Science to follow–yes, there’s more than one school of thought and dogma in Science.

If you would rather listen instead of read, play the audio (and there’s a couple BONUS comments on the audio):

My (FDA) Analysis

Turns out as I began reading the first article to dig into the research, I knew what I was reading looked familiar. So, I jumped over to my other blog and sure enough, TA DA! I’d already written a blog article on this a few months ago! https://beingwhollyvibrant.wordpress.com/2023/07/21/all-you-need-to-know-about-msg/

I love it when a plan comes together. This is why I blog too, so if/when I forget, I can simply do a word search on my blog to find out if I’ve previously researched something. And in this case, go figure, I had! So, let me take the opportunity to tell you what foods we no longer consume anymore because they raised my hubby’s blood pressure too much.

High sodium foods (or ones that contain too much MSG) we no longer eat

Veggie fried rice from a restaurant – Lesson learned awhile back. We thought limiting Richard’s portion of this would allow him to be able to eat it without an issue. But after he ate 1/2 serving on one day and the other 1/2 the next day, we had to take a trip to the Emergency Room. I’m not sure exactly what was in the vegetable fried rice, but we decided not to chance it anymore. It’s not something I usually eat either, so this really only means he can’t order it anymore. I do make plain rice at home and I use coconut aminos so he can have a bit of that umami flavor. And I can stir fry some vegetables too.

Canned soup – The sodium of canned soup is simply ridiculous. I do NOT understand why it has to have so much salt in it, but it was one of the first foods we stopped buying after hubby had a stroke.

Condiments – We stopped buying regular soy sauce, barbecue sauce, ketchup, and mayonnaise some time ago, mostly due to the sugar content, but we even stopped by low-sodium soy sauce due to the sodium and MSG in it. Plus, soy in general has been so bastardized (affects hormones) that we quit buying it YEARS ago. I do buy Primal Kitchen sauces but not regularly due to the cost and that we can live without these, so they are a treat when I do buy them.

Frozen meals – This had been something else we had went a bit overboard on after we moved from the Off Grid property and had an oven and microwave again. I will always feel these contributed to Richard’s stroke, even in some small way.

Packaged noodles – Richard loved Udon noodles and I used to buy them once or twice a month for him. Not anymore! Again, most of the salt comes from the seasoning packet, so if you buy these, just throw the seasoning away.

Seasonings – We switched to Mrs. Dash and a few other smaller companies that make and sell no salt herb seasonings in a jar. I sprinkle it on foods while I cook and use these sparingly. Everything else we used to use, like Cajun Creole seasoning mixes, we quit buying.

Dining out – Yes, we also limit which restaurants we go to as well. We learned that our nearby diner has a brown gravy that is loaded with sodium, so we never order it. We don’t order any casseroles either. We stick to foods we can identify and ask for the low-sodium option like, marinara sauce. We limit our cheeses, and say no to parmesan, but we know eating at restaurants can be dicey.

We simply limit how often we go out. And of course, now, we walk everywhere so that helps a lot!

I don’t know why I didn’t just write this out a month ago, but I guess I had to sort of draft it out and include it in the bottom of several posts before I felt it could hold up on its own in a separate post. Hmm. Perhaps that’s like us. Until our one fractal of Omniscience can stand on its own, we don’t incarnate. If you would rather listen instead of read, play the audio (and there’s a couple BONUS comments on the audio):

Is-ness – my interpretation

Because it is believed that Energy is what powers everything, and that one source, be it the Sun of our solar system or something much greater, powers all galaxies, it works for me as a way to explain Everything.

I find a rhythm to nature, the rise, the fall, the undulating, pulsating, spinning, whirling, collapsing, expanding, and shrinking–and I sense that it works.

We have The Dao (Daoism) that emanates from the dot.

We have Holism that envelopes ALL.

Thus, to me it seems logical and complete that ALL simply IS.

And that Omniscience (Omnism) governs ALL.

A fractal geometry that IS the Unified Field. The scaffolding that holds Everything together.

Therefore, each of us can pioneer the spiral snails path–foraging and forging continually along a new path. A long and winding road—yes. Not a yellow brick road, but for sure, along our spiral path there are flying monkeys and witches. Hahahahaha!

I am a fractal of Omniscience and so are you—making one grand design. Meditate on the yin and yang ☯️ as a 3, 4, or 5D version which breathes, pulses, undilates, and emanates Light! When the shadow grows larger the lighter portion shrinks but always this symbol seeks its own balance and like water. (Hint: the wavy line in the middle represents—water, movement, and action!)

About the ‘Snails Path’

The renowned, Dr. Bruce Lipton, often tells us (his monthly Zoom call attendees) about the spiral path of a snail and how it eats its way round and round, never grazing on the same foraging foods twice. Upon hearing this story, I immediately resonated with it and knew it was the way I tend to take life as it comes and digest for myself. I don’t know if this is a good philosophy for a human, but this is where I’ll leave you to decide.

Is-ness – The snails path

There you go. The Is-ness explanation.

Be like water. Find your own level. Balancing all the time.

We Are All Connected

I popped open, spiritually, in 2005 when I had a transcendental experience in the middle of the night. I heard a deep male voice say, “We Are All Connected.” I’ve spoken about this publicly. See the low quality video of my telling about that experience–on YouTube: https://youtu.be/_ttVo3rI_i8?si=JJMn5lDLa7tGv1-y

I continue to embrace the concept and reality that “We Are All One.”

There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. Ephesians 4:1-6

Integrating the Spirals to ease unwanted emotions

As an empath I want to help ease suffering and raise our vibration to offer hope. I want to uplift others and expand our collective consciousness. I teach breath work and meditation so we appreciate the value of Detachment. We till our inner soil with our breath to calm the amygdala and institute peace. Meditation is an easy way to Connect us with spirit, higher selves, Omniscience God, and receive non-programmed personal guidance.

Be the best version of who you want to be–because if you’re reading my words your soul is probably beckoning you to align with it and live up to your highest ideals. Not perfect because who is perfect? Most stagnate or ‘get stuck’ while on their way to being whatever they think perfection is. Making progress is enough. Carrying your Karma lightly is enough. Be kind to yourself while living responsibly. Who you ARE affects us ALL. We Are All Connected.
