My name is Jimi, I come from Seattle Washington, USA, but I have spent my life in Taiwan, Seattle, Iran, Indonesian, and Italy.
My family began eating healthy (less meat, less salt) when in elementary school. In university, I became a vegetarian. In 1990 I began eating only a vegan diet. After some time of veganism I began to feel weak, see stars, and have black-outs every time I stood up, and I even fainted a few times. These symptoms looked similar to an iron deficiency, and went on for 6 months. Upon further research into vegan health issues and problems, I learned some important and relevant things. The first was that being a vegan can be dangerous, if not not done properly. It is a science.
B-12. A B-12 deficiency would show symptoms similar to iron deficiency (anemia). I also learned that B-12 is naturally made by bacteria and found in meat, eggs, and dairy.. yogurt!.
B-12 is essential to human health and is a requirement in tiny amounts.
So the very next day I took a B-12 supplement pill and all the problems stopped immediately.
Not wanting to take a pill daily, I began to make yogurt again and add yogurt and cheese to my diet. My family had been making yogurt since i was small living in Italy.
Good fresh yogurt is considered "Probiotic". It is a living food full of beneficial living organisms that have consumed the milk and changed it into a highly digestible and beneficial food that is good for our digestion and our bodies. It is very different from milk. Different types of yogurt are made from different combinations of cultures which give them their flavor and characteristics. Flavors range from plain milky flavor to very sour.
Regular taking of yogurt aids digestion and encourages health from start to finish.
I moved to Lotung 3 years ago to get out of the city and be near the sea, the mountains, the clean air, and the healthy communities around the Waldorf Schools and their healthy food markets. Recently i have been restoring an old mountain farm house with a surrounding orchard of Pomello trees in hopes of moving the kitchen out to the farm.
My "Yilan Blue Bottle" yogurts, yogurt cheeses, cheeses and breads are found at the ShauPu health food store, the ci-xing markets, and the UriSaBaKiJo coffee shop in Yilan.
It is wonderful Pintung milk that makes my Yilan Blue Bottle Yogurts. The farmer doesn't use hormones, or pesticides or antibiotics.
