Onion – Chromium, Vit. C, quercetin and allyl sulfides
Jalapenos – Vit. A, Vit. C, iron and capsaicin
Thyme – Vit. K and thymol
Extra Virgin Olive Oil – Monounsaturated fatty acids and phenolic compounds

Ingredients:

2 – Red Bell Peppers
1 – Yellow Bell Pepper (Optional. May use 3 Red Bell Peppers instead)
3 – Roma Tomatoes
3 – Cloves Garlic
1 – White or Yellow Onion
2 – Jalapenos (Optional)
1 – Sprig of Thyme
2 Tbsp – Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 Tbsp – Half & Half (Optional)
2 – Cups Spring Water or Stock (Chicken or Vegetable)
Sea Salt and Cracked Black Pepper to Taste

Preparation:

1. Chop all vegetables into chunks and place on a large baking sheet, lined with aluminum foil.

2. Pour the extra virgin olive oil over the vegetables. Coat them all by rubbing the oil in with your hands.

3. Turn the broiler on high and place the baking sheet on the top rack. Broil vegetable mixture until the desired char is reached. This usually takes about 10-15 minutes.

4. Place the mixture into a blender. Add the thyme and water or stock. Blend until creamy.

5. Pour into a pot and cook the soup for about 15 minutes over low heat, to meld all the flavors together. Add the half & half (I like to do this because it helps to balance the acid, and adds a smoother mouth-feel).

6. At this point, add the sea salt and cracked pepper to taste.

7. Serve and Enjoy.

My theory has developed over a 20 year period of time and holds credibility as a corollary to the long-standing law in anatomy and physiology known as – Wollf’s law.  Wolff’s law, in short, states that, “bone remodels according to the physical stress placed upon it.”  As an example: a pitcher’s, pitching arm (humerus, radius and ulna) will be denser than his non-pitching arm.  The opposite of this is, if we lived in outer-space our bones would dissolve (osteoporosis) because of the lack of gravity; no weight-bearing load on the bones.  All of the calcium supplementation, estrogen replacement (for women), and Fosimax (medication) in the world would not prevent this process from happening.

My theory takes Wollf’s law to the next level and states, “Our entire body remodels according to the stress placed upon it: invisibly, physically, emotionally and chemically.” All four of these stressors or outside influences/forces, will directly affect the remodeling of every cell, tissue and physiological function of the body.  This means that our inward and outward appearance and physiological state is in direct correlation to the (way, what and/or how) we sleep, eat, drink, act, exercise, think, deal with stress, or are exposed to stress’ or outside forces.

Physical stress makes-up the largest portion of the overall stressors we will be subjected to on a daily basis. The foods we eat and how often, our exercise level or lack of exercise, chronic postures (work, driving and sleep), chemicals, pesticides, excessive alcohol, medicines, drugs and our body’s own waste products, all influence how we remodel.

If we ingest all of the essential nutrients that our body requires, with all other factors aside, our body will remodel properly. The opposite can be said for eating devitalized food, such as fast food, boxed or canned food; as well as being exposed to drugs, medicines, alcohol, pesticides, toxins, etc… Examples: If we increase protein and weight bearing exercise, an increase in muscle mass and strength will be the result. If we increase fats and/or carbohydrates, combined with a lack of physical exercise, an increase in body fat, blood sugar, blood fats and blood pressure will be the result. This is called: diabetes, obesity, high cholesterol and hypertension. Exposure to toxins, pesticides, molds, drugs or excessive alcohol, may lead to cancer, ADHD and many other diseases.

Emotional stress placed on the body will have similar effects. If we feel or are exposed to happiness, joy or generosity, all good stress’ will facilitate a positive remodeling (ex. neurotransmitter and hormone production). If we feel or are exposed to anger, expressed or unexpressed resentment, blame or shame, all negative emotions, this will facilitate our body to remodel in a non-optimum way (increased inflammation on decreased endocrine and brain function – Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s).  The negative remodeling can lead to everything we don’t want to have our body experience, such as cancer, autoimmune disease and body degeneration. The positive remodeling will help increase the immune system and overall strength of the body, leading to a longer, healthier and more vibrant life.

Invisible forces (electromagnetic waves [radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays and gamma rays], gravity and ionizing radiation) are constantly present and can affect us as much as the overt chemical, emotional and physical forces do. The invisible forces, most of the time, actually precede and initiate the physical, emotional or chemical stress’ that causes the remodeling of our body’s cells or, more specifically, the cell membranes.

It’s easy to see from this, that everything we do or don’t do, and everything that is done to us, sometimes unknowingly, affects how our body remodels. This means how we look and how we functions.  The point I am trying to make here is that we can at least be “cause” of over a very large part of this and be responsible for what we do on a daily basis (eat, exercise, rest…) and what we allow around us. If we do not learn from this then we can go through life at “effect” like a stick floating down a river, out of control. By ignoring this theory, negative remodeling will be the outcome and all the negative consequences that come with it. The choice is ours.
