+
+## Grains & Legumes
+
+Rinsing and soaking these are very helpful for my digestion.
+Since I'm a nomad and engage in dry camping (boondocking) I've had to find a way to do this while conserving water so that I can stay out longer.
+
+As of April 2026 I've shortened it down to only using twice the amount of cooking water, rather than 3 times or more if using separate water for both the rinse and the soak.
+Further reducing the water usage involves washing the meal's veggies in the soaked/rinsed water.
+
+### Example
+
+So, basically, if making 1 cup of rice with 2 zucchini:
+
+**Rinse & Soak Stage**
+
+1. Add 1 cup of rice and 3 cups of water to the Instant Pot bowl.
+1. Agitate the rice. You'll notice the water becomes cloudy.
+1. Set the Instant Pot to Yogurt - Less - 30 minutes.
+1. Allow to sit until ready to start cooking.
+
+**Food Preparation Stage**
+
+1. Remove the bowl from the Instant Pot.
+1. Rinse off the zucchini in the bowl then remove them.
+1. Pour the rice and water into a colander or strainer of some sort.
+1. Continue like you normally would if normally cooking this meal.
+    1. Slice or dice the zucchini to your preferences.
+    1. Add the rice, zucchini, and 2-3 cups of water to the bowl.
+1. Set to Rice - High and allow the pressure to release naturally!
+    - (I get better results using High Pressure for rice.)
+
+Some may think that even this is a lot of water rice! I prefer my meals moist to help with hydration and digestion. Dry, crunchy, or even al dente rice is a no-go for me.
+
+## Rehydrating Dried Fruits
+
+Normally this is for mangoes and sometimes dates, as I've found that banana coins get a weird texture.
+
+This is as easy as adding the dried fruit to a cup or a bowl, adding enough water to cover them, and then letting it sit for 1-2 hours depending on your patience.
+
+For mangoes the water becomes a deliciously sweet nectar, and for dates it becomes a savory and sweet caramel-like drink, especially if using barhi dates.
+
+## Simplicity & Food Combining
+
+There's something to be said about enjoying the food you eat. If you don't like the flavor of rice, then rice may not be for you. Many people don;t even know that rice has a flavor because they're so used to it being cooked with salt, oil, and then having sauces dumped on top.
+
+I subscribe to similar ideas as Natural Hygiene which says monomeals (meals consisting of only a single food ingredient) are the healthiest way to eat and the best chance at a highly efficient digestion. I rarely combine fruits, and allow 20-45 minutes in between each fruit type if eating multiple around a mealtime.
+
+The same goes for cooked food. Sometimes I may combine rice with lentils, however most the time I find myself having rice and a veggie for lunch, then lentils or tofu and a veggie or two for dinner. Vegetables low in acid, calories, and starch (such as celery, kale, or zucchini) are typically safe to combine with higher calorie staples.
+
+The same goes for seasonings. If cooking a celery stew (Khoresh Karafs), my only ingredients will be lentils and fresh celery, with the only seasonings being peppermint and parsley, fresh if I have it otherwise dried. Craving pizza? I'll add oregano and thyme to a meal. Experimenting like cooking a pot of rice with rosemary and lavender can be pretty great too!!

+
+Everything I choose is organic or local unless it's something rare like durian.
+
+Most items are eaten in monomeals. If multiple items exist in one meal, food combining (such as taught in Natural Hygiene) is practiced. More on that [here](/posts/blog/cooking/#simplicity--food-combining).

+
+My body is very sensitive in almost every way, including digestion. I've done reverse elimination diets to fine tune what I eat in order to ensure I avoid ailments as simple as bloating and as excruciating as migraines and night terrors.
+
+Basically, if you can feed it to both a rabbit and a dog, then I can probably have it. If it's unsafe for either of those, then I likely avoid it for my own reasons.
+
+Typically I don't accept food or food items from anyone, even trusted friends. This is more just to explain the why's of what I do.
+
+It's also important to note that I practice conscious food combining, otherwise that causes another list of issues. More [here](/posts/blog/cooking/#simplicity--food-combining).
+
+## High Reactivity
+
+I flat out refuse to consume anything which includes even a portion of these.
+
+- Alliums (onion, garlic, even shallots / scallions / chives) {{% show %}}
+  - Headaches and night sweats to migraines and night terrors.
+  - Horrible body odor, although most people experience this.
+  - Digestive and body pains, bloating, mental fog, etc. {{% /show %}}
+- Grapes {{% show %}}
+  - Digestive distress. We'll leave it at that. :) {{% /show %}}
+- Tropical Nuts (cashews, brazil nuts, etc) {{% show %}}
+  - Body pains, fatigue, digestive distress. {{% /show %}}
+- Caffeine {{% show %}}
+  - Sweating, hyperstimulation, severe weight loss. {{% /show %}}
+- Drugs & Alcohol
+  - I prefer to stay present and improve my reality rather than escape.
+  - These also tend to come with side affects such as mental fog and emotional suppression, some are highly carcinogenic, plus they're relatively expensive.
+
+## Moderate Reactivity
+
+I do not buy these, and will typically avoid a dish with these, rarely even choosing to pick them out of a dish.
+
+- Nightshades (tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, eggplant, tobacco, datura, etc) {{% show %}}
+  - Mucous for days. Digestive ailments and bloating. Mental fog.
+  - When cooked at very high temperatures over 400F, like a deep fryer, then these symptoms can go away, but then the oil causes other suffering.{{% /show %}}
+- Fatty Substances like Nuts & Seeds{{% show %}}
+  - Fatigue, lethargy, bloating, general body discomfort (inflammation).{{% /show %}}
+  - Avocados, almonds, pecans, and walnuts can be okay.
+- Oil (Yes, even Extra Virgin Olive or Coconut)
+  - Inflammation, bloating, multi-day fatigue, acne, etc.
+  - It's a horrendously processed food!! NOT a health food!
+
+## Low Reactivity
+
+I typically prefer to avoid these and am likely to turn down food containing them, but if they can be picked out, then it may be acceptable.
+
+- Cinnamon and other pesticidal seasonings.
+  - Usually cause body sweats, fatigue, overheating, etc.
+- Roots.
+  - Typically digest poorly causing bloating and fatigue.
+  - Some are okay, but it's easier for me to just avoid them.
+- Citrus
+  - General discomfort, digestive ailments.
+  - Will I sometimes cook with a lemon? Sure.
+  - No more orange or grapefruit feasts though.
