Sue's Healthy Minutes with Sue Becker | The Bread Beckers

We took a road trip to Oliver Farm, down in Pitts, GA - where we were able to visit their sunflower fields and "oil shack" - as they call it. It was amazing to see all of the beautiful sunflowers that were in full bloom and to also see how Clay and his wife, Valerie, make all of their amazing oils. Oliver Farm was formed several years ago when fuel prices soared and the American economy faltered. There was a lot of talk about alternative fuel sources, and that sparked an interest in an area that Clay knew very little about; however, he began researching, visiting oil plants, and talking to individuals in this field. During this time Clay discovered the cold pressed method of oil extraction which does not use chemicals or high temperatures to remove the oil. This process leaves valuable vitamins and nutrients in the oil. In 2012, Clay grew his first crop of sunflowers for oil production, and by the end of 2012, he had pressed oil from sunflowers, pecans, and peanuts - all grown in Wilcox County, GA. More oils followed, and Oliver Farm Artisan Oils quickly caught the attention of chefs and foodies. Now, Oliver Farm Artisan Oils are used and sold all over various locations, including The Bread Beckers, Inc., in Woodstock, GA. Today's episode is going to be a little different and longer than normal. As a podcast, this episode is presented as an audio recording of our trip. In addition, we have also released a video recording of our trip as well! Watch this video over on our YouTube Channel. There, you'll get to see the sunflower fields and the actual process that Oliver Farm uses for making all of the delicious oils that they sell.

Sue Becker continues with her love for summer by sharing that one of her favorite items during the summer is a cold, refreshing smoothie. As stated in a previous episode, these smoothies can be either yogurt or Kiefer-based and blended with some frozen fruit and sweetened with a bit of honey - making these smoothies a perfect combination of whole-grain fiber, with a healthy dose of good gut organisms. However, years ago, Sue was introduced to another kind of smoothie, and today, she shares this goodness with all of us. She also talks about the benefits of each of these ingredients, which include: Maca, Lacuma, and Raw Cacao. Although, this smoothie is more of a shake than it is a smoothie, it contains a lot of the nutrients that our bodies need and crave, and Sue is confident that you will love it too!

Garden season is here, and today, Sue Becker shares a really great option for all of the fresh fruits and vegetables that we may be gathering from our own gardens, farmer's markets, or local growers. There are a lot of options for storing fruits and vegetables, but Sue's favorite has become dehydration, and today, she explains why. She connects her talk to Proverbs 6:6-8, which tells us to "Go to the ant, consider its ways, and be wise. It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest." For more information, go to breadbeckers.com.

In this episode, Sue Becker encourages us to continue this trend in our bodies. With her 5th Step to Healthy Living, she inspires us to get rid of all of the unnecessary items in our grocery carts, our pantry, and the foods we consume daily.

Today, Sue Becker continues with her 7 steps to Healthy Living with step number 4, Eat Your Fruits and Vegetables. In Genesis 1:11-12, God commanded the earth to bring forth vegetation - seeds and the fruit of the plant that has seeds in them. Then, He gives it to us for food. Sue continues to remind us of the importance of seeds, such as grains and beans and introduces the fruit of the seeds, which are fruits and vegetables.

Today, Sue Becker addresses the 3rd step, in her 7 Steps to Healthy Living, and this step includes re-establishing and feeding our good gut organisms. With today's current health concerns, much attention and marketing is given to boosting our immune systems. It is widely accepted that re-establishing our good gut organisms and micro-flora is a vital part in protecting us against unwanted invasion and establishment of disease-causing organisms. However, boosting our immune system is more complex than just taking a supplement or an herb, and we must be careful. For more information, visit our website at https://www.breadbeckers.com/.
