To fight aging – Detoxify

 

Apples

Help to correct skin and liver disorders.  It has a laxative effect, and is a valuable aid to digestion and weight loss.

 

Beet juice

Nourishes the liver. The liver is one of the most important organs of the body, as it has hundreds of different functions.  If our liver is functioning well, most likely everything else in your body is too.

 

Cabbage

It is excellent for alleviating stomach ailments, especially when combined with comfrey. It’s high in vitamin K and cancer-fighting indoles. 

 

Carrot juice

Is high in antioxidants, including beta-carotene and vitamins A, C, and E.  It is filled with minerals and anti-aging enzymes.  One caveat on carrot juice, since it is high in natural sugar, this juice should be diluted with water, especially if you have a blood sugar imbalance.

 

Celery

Is moderately high in sodium, not the bad-for-you salt shaker kind, but the good, natural kind that promotes good cell chemistry.

 


Melon juices

Are wonderful kidney cleansers.  The rind provides a wide range of enzymes, minerals, and chlorophyll.  Drink melon juice alone, not in combination with other fruits or vegetables.

 

Pineapple juice

Contains bromelain, which has an anti-inflammatory effect.  This is especially good for alleviating arthritic symptoms.

Don’t forget your Omega 3’s. Eat fish at least 3 times a week. 

 

An herbal footbath can soothe your headache.  Mix one teaspoon of powdered mustard or ginger with water as hot as you can stand it in a plastic basin big enough for both feet.  Drape a thick towel across the top to hold in the heat.  Lean back, close your eyes, breathe deeply, and relax for about 15 minutes.

 

Calcium and vitamin D can help relieve migraines in people with low blood levels of vitamin D.

 

Watch out for the three C’s.  Cheese, chocolate, and citrus; they can trigger headaches. 

 

Caffeine can cause headaches.  If you drink more than 8 oz of caffeine a day, it is best to gradually cut back on the caffeine to avoid headaches.

 

Place salt in a dry pan and heat until it’s very warm but not hot. Wrap the salt in a thin dishtowel. If the headache is in front, press the salt pack to the back of your head and rub.  The dry heat will draw the pain away from where it’s hurting.

 

Headaches may signal heart disease if they begin during exercise then go away when you rest.  It’s possible that an undetected chest pain travels along nerves from the heart to the head where it is more noticeable, or the diseased heart causes more pressure in the head because of poor circulation.

 

This type of cardiac headache may occur in people whose headaches begin after the age of 50, who are at risk of heart disease due to high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, or family history.

Miscellaneous Tips:

 

·         Safe Red Dye
Use beet juice instead of artificial food coloring.  Unlike some synthetic dyes, beet juice is safe, because it does not trigger liver cancer cell growth.

 

·         Toast Sesame Seeds
Place
a nonstick skillet over a high heat and sprinkle in a tablespoon or two of sesame seeds. As the pan heats up, the seeds will begin to pop like popcorn. Shake the pan as you would if you were popping popcorn the old fashioned way.  Shake until they are golden brown; sprinkle over salads, cooked veggies, Asian stir-fries, or broiled chicken, fish, or shrimp.

 

·         Your body needs Vitamin C to absorb iron.  Eat citrus fruit after an iron-rich meal.

 

·         It is best to take calcium supplements between meals, because some foods contain substances which may compete with calcium for absorption in your body.

·         Blueberries contain more antioxidants than any other fruit. They have anti

inflammatory effects, improve mental performance and also reduce the rates of urinary-tract infection.  Healthful cousins include red grapes, cranberries, blackberries, cherries, raspberries, boysenberries, and strawberries. Eat one to two cups fresh or frozen daily.

 

·         Spinach is rich in the antioxidants lutein and beta-carotene.  Healthful cousins include kale, collards, swiss chard, mustard greens, and Romaine lettuce.  Your goal is to eat two cups raw or one cup steamed every day.

 

·         Oats are a rich source of fiber including beta-glucans, which help to protect against heart disease.  Oats also have minerals, including magnesium, potassium, zinc, copper, manganese and selenium, all of which lower the risk of high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer, and heart disease.  Healthful cousins include wheat germ, flaxseed, whole wheat, barley, buckwheat, millet, and amaranth.  Five to seven daily servings is recommended.

 

·         Pumpkin is rich in carotenoids, it is also the best source of the combination of alpha-carotene (twice as much as carrots) and beta-carotene – which work optimally as a team.  Carotenoid-rich foods (not supplements) have been shown to reduce the risk for lung, colon, breast, and skin cancers.  Canned 100% pure pumpkin is just as nutritious as fresh.  Healthful cousins include carrots, sweet potatoes, and butternut squash.  You need to eat ½ cup most days.

 

·         Tomatoes have been linked to reduced rates of cancer, particularly prostate

malignancies.  When joined with lutein, lycopene also fights age-related mascular degeneration.  Cooked tomatoes are most readily absorbed by the body.  Healthful cousins include watermelon and pink grapefruit.  Your goal is to eat one daily serving of processed tomatoes or 1/2 cup of sauce, or one watermelon wedge, ½ pink grapefruit, and multiple servings of fresh tomatoes each week.

 

·         Walnuts contain omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E, potassium, protein, fiber, and

cholesterol-lowering compounds known as plant sterols.  Studies suggest that eating about one ounce, about a handful, of nuts five times a week lowers the risk for heart attack by up to 50%.   Beware, nuts are high in calories, so do not overindulge.  Healthful cousins include almonds, pistachios, sesame seeds, and pecans.

 

·         Try to incorporate oranges, soy, tea (black or green), raw or cooked broccoli, yogurt with live cultures, skinless turkey, and/or beans (Pinto, Navy, Lima, or Chickpeas) in your diet on all or most days of the week.

 

·         Protein is vital to maintaining all the cells, muscles, and other tissues of the body.

 

·         Fiber aids in digestion and reduces cholesterol.

 

·         Water adds volume without calories. Foods with high water content fill you up just as effectively as those that are loaded with fats and sugars.  To add more water to your daily diet, start your meals with soup whenever possible, steam vegetables rather than baking or grilling them as this will keep their water content high and eat water-rich stew as a main dish.

 

·         Eat frequent meals. Six small meals and snacks a day will keep your energy level up and your hunger down. 

 

·         Buy only salmon that is specifically marked wild Alaskan.  You should try to eat three ounces of fish, two to four times per week.  Healthful cousins include Halibut, Sardines with the bones, Herring, Sea Bass and Trout, which are low in mercury.  Canned albacore tuna is rich in omega-3’s but it’s best to limit consumption to one can per week because of possible mercury content.

 

·         British researchers from the Southampton University have found that boys born with a low birth weight are more likely to have an increased risk of heart disease later in life.

 

Eight year olds who were smaller at birth are more likely to have vascular resistance, a property of blood vessels that makes it harder for the blood to be pumped though.  Even though this vascular resistance does not cause an immediate problem for a child, there is some suggestion that it might increase the chance of blood pressure problems in adulthood. 

 

No such problem was seen in girls who were born with a low birth weight. 

 

Earlier studies have linked heart disease and diabetes to low birth weight.

 

 

Body Food

 

Check out the amazing clues that food hold for us.

 

·         A sliced carrot looks like the pupil, iris and radiating lines of the human eye.  And eating carrots greatly enhances the blood flow to and function of the eyes.

·         A Tomato has four chambers and is red.  The heart has four chambers and is red.  Research shows tomatoes are loaded with lycopine and are indeed pure heart and blood food.

·         Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell and research shows grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food.

·         A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums.  Even the wrinkles or folds on the nut are just like the neo-cortex.  We now know walnuts help develop more than three (3) dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.

·         Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys.

·         Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb, and many more look just like bones.  These foods specifically target bone strength.  Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium.  If you don’t have enough sodium in your diet, the body pulls it from the bones, thus making them weak.  These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body.

·         Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemic index of diabetics.

·         Avocadoes, Eggplant, and Pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female and they look just like these organs.  Research shows that when a woman eats one avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight, and prevents cervical cancers.  And how profound is this?  It takes exactly nine months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit.  There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods (modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them.

·         Male fertility can be maintained by eating bananas, figs, and olives.

Bananas help to increase fertility, and cure impotency.

Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow.  Figs increase the mobility of male sperm and increase the number of sperm as well as overcome male sterility.

Olives help to ensure fertility as well as sexual potency in men.

·         Olives, which resemble ovaries, assist the health and function of the ovaries. 

 

  • Oranges, grapefruits, and other citrus fruits look just like the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts.

  • Onions look like the body’s cells.  Research shows onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells.  They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes.  A working companion, garlic, also helps eliminate waste materials and dangerous free radicals from the body.
