Oftentimes non stick surfaces are metal pans coated with a synthetic polymer called polytetrafluoroetheylene, also known as Teflon, a DuPont brand trademark. Learn more about Teflon and its perfluorinated chemical family in our chemical dictionary.

Toxic fumes from the Teflon chemical released from pots and pans at high temperatures may kill pet birds and cause people to develop ‘flu like’ symptoms.

Ingesting particles that flake off scratched ‘nonstick’ cookware is not toxic because solid PTFE flakes are inert. Manufacturers’ labels often warn consumers to avoid high heat when cooking on Teflon. EWGcommissioned tests conducted in 2003 showed that in just two to five minutes on a conventional stove top, cookware coated with Teflon and other non stick surfaces could exceed temperatures at which the coating breaks apart and emits toxic particles and gases.

It works because fasting is not some dumb dieting trick -it’s a normal thing for humans to do -not eating for a period of time is OK. Thousands of years ago, even 50 to 100 years ago, food was not ALWAYS around and available and snacking wasn’t really done.

The reason intermittent fasting is worth playing with this holiday is because it gives your organs a few extra hours to deal with nasty foods it has to clean out.

The time not eating also helps promote health hormonal balance in your body. Fact, IFing basic principle is don’t eat for 16 24 hours in a day. So here’s a question. Easy right, this is the case right? A well-known fact that is. Therefore in case you want to supercharge it -make your first meal high ish in protein.

It’s not my recipe but some say 1/2 to 1 bicarbonate teaspoon of soda + 1/2 glass of water is the way forward. By giving yourself a few minutes on your, 15+ mins is good, you can find space in your mind and energy to give compassion to whoever or whatever it is that’s annoying you. Pain deeper level, confrontation, anger, annoyance within a family setting is a deeper unconscious pain that ‘wants’ to come to the surface. Certainly, the goal is to not react. Go to you tube and check Eckhart Tolle’s ‘Pain Body’ for more on that. It’s a life enhancing perspective/metaphor.

If you’re still counting calories please give release yourself of that boring pointless restrictive way of eating.

Find a way to tune in to how you feel. Anyway, there isthere’s this magical feeling when you let go of all that head work around food and actually get in touch with how it feels to be eating right for your body. You should take this seriously. Now look, the first step there’s to know that a calorie doesn’t equal a calorie -e 200 sausage calories on a stick probably has more nutrients than 200 calories of ‘chocolate mouse light’. A well-known fact that is. It’s a well-known fact that the mouse light is probably full of artificial sweeteners BUT the sausage probably came from a pig that was pumped full of hormones and plumped up on GMO feed.

It’s OK to say no. Just because your family or friends are smashing a load of cookies and ice cream riddled with artificial nonsense doesn’t mean you have to. They have their knowledge, wisdom and feeling with food and alcohol and they should be acting from where they are. It’s a well it depends. Loads of information can be found by going on the web. Maybe their body is more adept at digesting that food or booze, maybe they had a MASSIVE workout that day and their body is burning like a steam engine, or maybe they just don’t care that much. Nonetheless, by all means, get involved, give yourself the freedom to eat anything and everything you desire and without the guilt trip because ‘Mind over matter’ is more powerful than you can imagine. Actually the next day can probably be helped by intermittent fasting and baking soda the next day can help your body clear out the junk, if you do.
