    Just a tip to spiralizer fans, save the left over vegetable ends in a container in the freezer- the next time you need to make vegetable stock you will have a big chunk of the prep done.

    Hi Liza, I was just searching on youtube about spiralizer and I came across your channel, and then I can't stop watching your videos for more than 3 hours straight because I love your healthy, inspiring, and exciting ideas that I can't wait to try.
    I am very happy that I found you on youtube and by sharing about your healthy lifestyle, especially on food and organizing the kitchen I will be able to incorporate that into my lifestyle.

    • @Downshiftology
      @Downshiftology  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah. The little ones definitely have a harder time with odd shapes and harder veggies (like parsnips and sweet potatoes). I think once you buy a "big" one you'll be glad you did. ;) x

    Just received my Paderno spiralizer yesterday so I went out to my favorite market here in Hamilton MT and bought organic purple cabbage, carrots, yams, and a black radish, which I’d never seen before(about the size of a tennis ball) and various apples. As well as zucchini of course! It’s going to be a fun afternoon! I’ll keep you posted.

Although being mostly vegetarian and conscious of what I eat and how I live it’s become clear that even more steps need to be taken. So your recipes and tips and instructions are very timely. You inspire me because you make it so simple to make big changes. And fun too!

      Think of it like this... our cells are linked rooms with engines running in them.
      The mitochondria are the engines, and bio-copper and magnesium tune them to max energy and min acidic exhaust.
      The copper-bases anti-oxidant enzymes are like a catalytic converter. They reduce the acidic exhaust when working correctly. When bio-copper is low, the mitochondria perform like anhootpie on the road pitching out black smoke and chugging along.
      The Root Cause Protocol focuses on optimizong the engine and the catalytic converter. Vegans and alkalarianism is blind to this component. If these don't work right because bio-copper is low, you will have oxidative stress issues and inflammatory issues no matter what your diet looks like.
      However, the Root Vause Protocol is blind to the state of the room in which the engine and catalytic converter operate, and how diet can impact that room.
      On an acidic diet, the body bruns up alkaline minerals, and copper according to Dr. Young, to neutralize thenexcess acid. That's instant bio-copper depletion right there, even if you follow the RCP, which does not take into account this acidic effect of one's diet.
      So, you need two things working... the room (and interstitial fluid) should be alkaline (or at least not uber acid and on its way towards alkaline), the mitochondria needs to be properly tuned with bio-copper and magnesium, and the copper-based antioxidant enzymes need to be fully energized.
      ...
      The solution is to eat alkaline, along with the highest quality natural organ meats and the highest quality cod liver oil.

    TIP: It is hard to eat those miles-long zucchini noodles! So what I do is stop every 4 or 5 turns & break off the noodles, for shorter noodles. This makes them much easier to mix & eat, and you don't have to chop anything.

    you learn something new everyday! I've looked everywhere for good veg noodles. I found some on amz called "skinny .. or something" but they are really expensive and made from some powdered things i've never heard of - but they are only 9g carbs. I'm diabetic so if I ate regular pasta which is about 50g carbs I'd go through the roof! I can imagine using this to make variations of spaghetti squash style noodles but with acorn or butternut. Thanks so much!

    • @suemarie6032
      @suemarie6032 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Not only does it save on the wrist, but you get 3 blades which do so much more than the twisting models. When I was reading reviews, many complained the Starfrit model didn't have good suction cups. I see the Paderno does. When I bought my similar model (ThinkKitchen), I mentioned this to the saleslady and she took the display model pressed it onto the counter. Then had trouble releasing it. LOL When I tried it at home, I realized all you need to do is slip your fingernail partially under it and it releases fine.

    • @suemarie6032
      @suemarie6032 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      OOPS, I should also add that if you have the money, Paderno now has a 4 blade model that is getting rave reviews.

    • @Downshiftology
      @Downshiftology  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes - good suction cups are key! I've never had a problem with mine (even after nearly 6 years) and you're right Sue, just stick your nail under to release (my Paderno actually has a little tab you can pull). But easy peasy!

    I tricked my boyfriend into eating zoodles, and he for real thought they were normal spaghetti until I told him they weren't. But to his defence they were covered in home made green pesto, so it was hard to see. Just saying - that the actual consistency (if you turn them over for a couple minutes on the stove, no oil or nothing, to remove water) is almost exactly like normal spaghetti.

    • @Downshiftology

      Those vertical spiralizers are good if you only plan to do zucchini (or narrow veggies). But unfortunately larger veggies like cabbage, rutabaga, sweet potatoes, etc won't fit in the chute unless chopped down first. Just something to be aware of. :)

    Why you ask?
    A mom served her young daughter a salad from a bag that said it was washed at the processing plant. The young daughter died from salmonella. Had she washed the salad the girl would be alive today. This holds true for all vegetables.
    Please take heed and show these young women that you are washing these vegetables.
    In other countries ground water is contaminating vegetables every day. Do you grow your own. Good, but please wash. A heavy rain could do the same to your garden. How would you know until one day it is too late.

      It is a great habit to wash your vegetables to clean them, however it is wishful thinking to believe you can sterilize them of microbes like salmonella. Most often when salmonella from livestock runoff infects our produce and there are widespread outbreaks, the salmonella responsible for these outbreaks is deep inside plant structures Called the STOMA. Simply washing the vegetables will not clear the microbes. Cooking the vegetables is the only way to kill the microbes, and that is only if they are heat-labile.
