LESS STRESS WITH JULIAN BAKERY’S NEW PURITY BREAD

When stressed, we reach for quick fixes – stimulants like coffee, or foods high in fat or sugar. But this diet compounds the problem. Chocolate gives an initial sugar and caffeine buzz, but leaves you weary. Salty crisps dehydrate the body and brain and bring on fatigue. High fat meals raise stress hormones and keep them high.

Sugar, nicotine and alcohol also stimulate adrenaline in the body, another hormone released to prepare you for fight or flight. Chocolate contains sugar and caffeine – a double hit! Such stimulants can trigger a stress reaction even when no major external stress is present; so try to avoid stimulants.

If you want to deal with stress, drink water. It hydrates every part of the body and brain and helps you to better cope with stressful situations. A good rule is to take a few sips every 15 minutes. The best source is room-temperature still water bought in glass bottles (some plastic bottles can leach chemicals into the water inside) or use a jug filter system that you fill from the tap.

Don’t go more than four hours without eating; your body’s metabolism will start to slow. Eat before you’re hungry to avoid overeating when you do sit down for a meal. And don’t skip meals. All you’re doing is disrupting your blood sugar levels, slowing down your metabolic rate and setting yourself up for binges and sweet cravings.

Purity Bread can help. It is cultured for 8 hours, giving it a slight hint of sourdough flavor, while making it easier to digest. It is a low stress food, giving you more energy than it takes to digest it.

Purity Bread is the first whole grain, complete protein bread on the market that is gluten free, low carb, sweet free, yeast free and wheat fee, with sprouted beans. It is moist inside and chewy on the outside, made in a gluten free, non-contaminated environment.

Now there is a bread for Diabetics, Celiacs, those with Candida and Hypoglycemia, or those who just want a healthier gluten free bread, with no refined ingredients.

Purity Bread is made with raw buckwheat, millet, short grain brown rice, teff (from the Central Delta of Ethiopia) and freshly ground flaxseed (for maximum nutrition), providing high fiber protein and good quality carbohydrates. It also has 13 sprouted, ground beans, which increases the fiber and protein for digestion, while the fiber lowers the carbs. Onion, guar gum and sea salt round out the ingredients’ list.

Buckwheat is ideal for people who struggle with wheat allergies and gluten intolerance. It has plenty of protein and B vitamins and is rich in phosphorus, potassium, iron, and calcium.

You don’t have to be stressed to love this bread. There’s nothing else like it on the market. You’ve got to try this one!

Enjoy, Samantha

1-cup organic hard red winter wheat berries
1 1/2 cup chicken broth, vegetable stock or cold water
1/8 cup dried cranberries, chopped
1/8 cup dried apricots, chopped
1/3-cup whole organic walnuts
6 Tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
3 Tbsp. White Balsamic Vinegar
1 tsp. Dijon Mustard
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 Tbsp. fresh rosemary, chopped
1/2 tsp. freshly ground pepper
1 tsp. sea salt
1 bunch organic green onions, finely diced
4 butter lettuce “cups”
4 oz. Cracked Pepper Chevre (goat cheese), crumbled
8 slices Julian Bakery Purity Bread (cut with a sharp, serrated knife), toasted and buttered

Rinse wheat berries and place in a saucepan. Add broth or water. Cover and bring to a boil. Turn down to a simmer and cook for about an hour or until the wheat berries are soft. Remove from heat and stir in cranberries and apricots. Cover and let sit for 10 minutes. Chill in refrigerator until ready to use.

Place walnuts in a skillet. Heat over medium heat and they smell toasty. Toss to evenly toast and to keep the walnuts from burning. Remove from pan, allow to cool and chop. Set aside.

Place olive oil, vinegar, mustard, garlic and rosemary in a blender. Pulse to combine. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Place cooled wheat berries in a bowl. Mix in walnuts, onions and just enough dressing to hold everything together. Place in butter lettuce cups and garnish with crumbled chevre.

Serve with toasted, buttered slices of Julian Bakery Purity Bread.

TIP: To cut cooking time, soak wheat berries in water overnight.
Serves 4.
