Lately we’ve been hearing about Atelvia advertised on TV commercials. It supposed to be “better” because it has a special coating, which eliminates the fasting requirements applicable to the earlier drugs. However, Atelvia has all the side effects of the other bisphonate drugs. What side effects? Just read this review of Atelvia by Vivian Goldschmidt, M.A., of SaveOurBones.com by clicking on this link: http://saveourbones.com/atelvia-review/.
On the other hand, deciding to re-build bones naturally through an alkaline diet, weight-bearing exercise, daily sunshine, and restorative sleep has only one side effect: improved health!
Our new OsteoDiet version of Gypsy Soup substitutes lentils (which are medium alkaline-forming) for garbanzo beans (which are low acid-forming).
Note: For quick information about the effect of various foods on pH levels, a handy reference for your kitchen is The Acid Alkaline Food Guide by Susan E. Brown and Larry Trivieri, Jr.
The long list of ingredients makes this look like a complicated recipes, but it’s not. Once you have the sweet potatoes diced, the rest of the prep is a breeze!
You will need:
Stock pot
2 tbsp. olive oil
2 cups onion, chopped
1/2 cup celery, chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 cups sweet potatoes, diced
2 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. ground turmeric
1 tsp. dried basil
1 tsp. sea salt
1/8 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper or crushed red pepper
1 bay leaf
4 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth
1 tbsp. tamari
1 cup fresh tomato, chopped
1 can of organic lentils
3/4 cup green bell pepper, chopped
Directions:
1. Saute onion, garlic, celery, and sweet potatoes in olive oil for about 5 minutes, or until onion is soft.
2. Add paprika, turmeric, basil, salt, cinnamon, cayenne, and bay leaf. Stir to blend.
3. Stir in broth and tamari.
4. Cover and simmer over low-medium heat for about 15 minutes.
5. Add tomatoes, lentils, and green pepper. Simmer over low-medium heat for another 10 minutes, or until all of the vegetables are tender.
Enjoy!
