10 USELESS FOOD FACTS VOL 1

by Kourtney A. Moses

Here is a “Golden Niblet.” Food can seem boring, and overly complicated to understand. Your parents tell you to eat your vegetables. Doctors tell you to drink less soda, and consume less beef. Nutritionists insist you include a rainbow of produce in your daily diet, and avoid sweets and processed foods.

None of those dictates will be found below. Here are a few fun and/or interesting fun facts that might give your brain a break, and a quick knowledge boost.

1. Red Bell Peppers have 3 times as much Vitamin C as an orange.

2. A cucumber is the most hydrating of al fruits and vegetables. It is 96% water. A watermelon is only 92% water.

3. Although they once utilized carcinogenic dyes, Kraft Macaroni & Cheese is now dyed, but not seasoned with turmeric, paprika and annatto spices.

4. Dark chocolate can reduce the risk of developing diabetes and heart disease.

5. A regular russet potato has twice as much potassium as a banana.

6. Walnuts are the mightiest, heart healthy, nut you can pick out of the trail mix bowl.

7. Dark orange sweet potatoes have more than 2 1/2 times the amount of beta-carotene as a carrot, and beta-carotene has the word “carrot” built into it. Go figure…

8. In an emergency, coconut water can be used as a substitute for blood plasma.

9. If stored in an airtight container, ground coffee can be stored for 3 to 5 months past its expiration date, and still have the same taste. Instant coffee can be stored for an additional 20 years!

10. An apple a day keeps the doctor away” aphorism originally went, “Eat an apple on going to bed, and you’ll keep the doctor from earning his bread.”

THE HIDDEN TRUTH ABOUT OLIVE OIL

by Kourtney A. Moses

Here’s A “Golden Niblet.” When you think, “high quality Olive Oil,” you probably immediately transition to thoughts of Italy. However, that route of thinking is flawed.

Italy is not the biggest producer of high quality Olive Oil. It’s actually Spain. Italy isn’t even the largest consumer of Olive Oil. That award goes to Greece.

If you are looking for a delicious, high quality Olive Oil, but you don’t want to sell your grandmother’s pearls to afford it, try a California produced oil. They’re fruity, aromatic and almost always 100% organic because they’re usually grown in the same vineyards as the grapes used to make California wines. Your tummy, wallet, the environment and the US economy will all thank you!

NATURE FOR BODY NURTURE

by Kourtney A. Moses

For major ailments, there is no advocacy here for negating the sheer importance of professional medical intervention. However, sometimes Mother Nature’s leafy green jacket is simpler and sexier than just about any MD’s stiff white coat. Here’s a few non-pill or prescription home remedies for treating some common waiting room motivators.

Do you sometimes feel as if there are “Out Of Order” warning signs stuck on your body? Moringa is an extraordinary plant that has been found to lower blood sugar, and decrease both inflammation and bad cholesterol levels. For people with, or at risk for diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and/or heart disease, this would be an excellent plant to add to your daily supplements and exercise routine.

💥 WILDFLOWER HONEY (LOCAL)

Do your allergies make you walk around looking like you rub onions on your eyelids? A great remedy is to hitchhike yourself to the closest local farmer’s market. Not a grocery store or a big box chain. The honey has to be local to where the plants are attacking your allergies, and it has to be wildflower. Clover honey will not work. Remember, it must be wildflower for true relief power!

💥 MORINGA

💥 ACTIVATED CHARCOAL

Is the manila folder you’re holding whiter than your two front teeth? If you’re concerned about what damage whitening toothpaste can do to your enamel, there is always activated charcoal. Most activated charcoal is made from coconut shells. It has amazing whitening benefits, and is harmless when ingested.

💥 NEEM OIL

Is your scalp flakier than a Christmas inspired snow globe? Neem oil is an excellent treatment for dandruff. It kills fungus that lives on the scalp, and moisturizes the skin to help eliminate any dry patches.

💥 TRIPLE MAGNESIUM

At night, does your insomnia make you feel more alert than the 22-year-old who just moved next door to a nudist colony? Triple magnesium lowers your cortisol levels, which is a stress hormone. Thus, it can help gently soothe you toward a path of pleasant dreams.

Always remember, your medical professional is not your enemy. Any adjustments you make; dietary, physical or medicinal should become a part of your patient / doctor dialogue. It’s your health. Don’t keep secrets. Lead the winning team.

OH, THE HUNGER PAINS

by Kourtney A. Moses

Here’s a “Golden Niblet.” Why do you feel hunger sensations? Is it that you’re greedy? Is it that your body likes to keep itself on a timely ingestion schedule, or is it all just in your head? Well, yeah, it’s all in your head. That’s right, you’re bat-crap crazy. Deal with it!😂 No. Hunger Pains start in your head, but there is a logical reason.

When the human brain is running low on fuel, it sends a hormone, ghrelin, to the stomach that says, “Hey, digest something. I need some energy up here.” If there is not enough food in the stomach to digest, the acids from your stomach start beating up against the stomach’s walls. This causes a hunger sensation, or what some call Hunger Pain.

Humans do not respond well to discomfort. Therefore, we are triggered to do whatever we must to make discomfort cease. In order to make the Hunger Pains stop, we eat something. After we eat, the stomach begins, immediately, digesting the food, and the brain is fed its requested energy. Once that occurs, the brain is at full capacity to better captain the rest of your body.

VEGAN NON-MEAT PROTEIN OPTIONS

by Kourtney A. Moses

Here’s a “Golden Niblet.” Protein makes up your hair, nails, bones and muscles. It provides the structure for your organs. In short, without it, there is no you. That’s why your doctor is a stalker about adding more protein to your diet. You literally need it for optimal physical and organ function.

However, contrary to popular understanding, you don’t just get protein through meat and dairy. You can also get it through fruits and veggies.

Some of the best places to get a high hit of protein is through Peas, Beans, Kale, Collard Greens, Sweet Corn, Asparagus, Mushrooms, Summer Squash, Broccoli, Avocado, Arugula, and the list goes on…

Needless to say. Never feel limited by your diet. You have textured, colorful and flavorful vegan Protein options. Just break out the seasonings, a pot and let your tastebuds guide you!

CLEARING ACNE ON A BUDGET

by Kourtney A. Moses

Do you have Acne, but have to determine how to treat it on a “broke folk” budget? There are a few tricks that can help assist with your Acne treatment, and they are absolutely FREE!

1. Stop touching your face!!! Your filthy fingers and fingernails are avid pimple spreaders. You think your hands are clean, but they’re not. Your fingers and fingernails can be your worse enemy in the war against Acne.

2. Change your washcloth each time you use it, and change your towel once every 24 hours. Acne exacerbating bacteria begin multiplying almost immediately after using your washcloths and towels.

3. Change your pillowcase every 48 hours, and if you have body Acne, change your sheets every 48 to 72 hours. Your shedding skin-cells and natural body sweat marinated bed linens are a pimple-bacteria buffet.

4. Disinfect your cell phone screen. It lays against your face, and has picked up dirt, oil, bacteria and random questionable Walmart cart DNA.

5. Cleanse your face twice A-day, but no more. A dirty face OR overly dry/stripped skin are both fun festivals for Acne causing bacteria.

No matter your budget, these wallet friendly tips will help you toward your ultimate naturally beautiful skin experience goals. That’s the end of the FREE info. If you want some amazing natural products, such as CLEAN SLATE, SAUCE, or DIAMONDS to further help clear your Acne prone skin, and help make your face, chest and back look and feel fabulous, you will have to pay for it. You’ll be grateful you did.

That’s a Recipe’s Of Eden, natural fact!
