Re: An introduction post from a young fellow: feeling fatigue

Hi,foymula.

Welcome to the cyber macro forum, I’m also new to this forum and it feels strange to welcome someone when you are new yourself. But it makes no difference. Welcome.

It nice to hear your story. I started about the same way on the same age. And it was fantastic and I share your enthusiasm. And I hoop that my reply can be of use.

Feeling fatigue; I y think it’s your sugar level that is going down calt hypoglycaemia. From eating havy animal food in the past your pancreas has becoming to yang what makes it hart to produce glucose.
You can use a power drink to boost up your energy. But that will only be suppressing the symptom. Use sweet vegetable drink. It well relaxes your pancreas and eliminate the fat. And help to stabilize blood sugar levels.

SWEET VEGETEBLE DRINK
Use equal amounts of 4 sweet vegetables, finely chopped ( onions, carrots, cabbage, and sweet winter squash); boil 3 to 4 times the amount of water, add the chopped vegetables, reduce the flame to low, cover, and let simmer for 20 minutes.
No seasoning is used in this recipe.
It may be kept in the frig for up to 2 days, but should be warmed again or allowed to return to room temperature before you drink.
You can take a small cup daily or every other day, especially in the mid- to late afternoon.

Boost drink. (watch out with the salt)
SHOYU BANCHA TEA
Place one teaspoon of shoyu into a teacup and pour in hot bancha twig or stem tea that has been made a little stronger than usual. Stir well and drink hot.

“Is rice cooker preparation ok?”

I think it is better to use pressure cooker, the rice will be more, better digestible. And you will get more energy out of the rice.

PRESSURE COOKED BROWN RICE

2 cups organic brown rice ( short- or medium-grain)
3 ½ to 4 cups water ( more water for softer rice)
2 pinches sea salt

Gently wash the rice in cold water, place the rice in a pressure cooker, and smooth the surface of the grain so it is level. Add water slowly down the the side of the pressure cooker so the surface of the rice remains even and calm. Add sea salt, cover, and bring up to pressure slowly.
When the pressure is up, place a flame deflector underneath and turn the flame to medium low, just enough to maintain pressure. ( If you don’t have a deflector, keep the flame as low as possible.) Cook for 50 minutes from the time the pressure is up. When the rice is done, remove the cooker from the burner and let the pressure come down naturally, about 5 minutes. Remove the cover, let the rice sit for a few minutes so that it will not stick to the bottom. Rice prepared in this way has e delicious, nutty taste and gives strong, peaceful energy.

If you don’t have pressure cooker. 2 cups of water for 1 cup rice in most heavy pot.

Water???
Try to use the best quality spring water.
And only drink when you are thirsty. When you need more than 1 cup a day you are using to much salt. And when you drink it is better to make tea in place of plane water. (Les yin) Fore a nice refreshment, grater daykon put in to sieve ate little shoyu and pore over 1 cup of water.

Good luck,

Peaceful greetings, hendrik.
