More Healing Healthy Foods
Some foods have been extensively tested to prove their
nutrition and health benefits. Some foods still fall in the
folk medicine category because they have not been tested by
modern science.
Take the time to learn what foods are the most healing. If
you already eat a vast array of healthy foods then good for
you- keep on doing what you are doing. If on the other hand
your body could use a larger dose of healing foods then try to
revise your daily diet with some of these foods that can help
to support excellent health and your immune system.
- Artichokes are helpful in their own way. Artichokes can
lower cholesterol as well as improving digestion and
protecting your heart from diseases. Artichokes can also
help to protect your liver from being invaded by disease
and they can stabilize your blood sugar if it tends to be
on the high side.
- Chili peppers are worth reaching for if your throat is
sore and achy and your sinuses are bothering you. Chili
peppers have a bite to them for sure but they are excellent
for digestion and they help to fight cancer before it
starts, not to mention the fact that chili peppers are
extremely beneficial in boosting the function of the immune
system. Chili peppers range from mild to so hot you may
never taste anything again.
- Sometimes nuts are just what the doctor ordered.
Peanuts help to protect against diseases of the heart
and lowers cholesterol levels and encourages weight
loss. Peanuts are especially good for men as they help to
combat prostrate cancer.
Chestnuts are not just a Christmas time nut, they can be
eaten all year long for their healing properties. Chestnuts
are very protective towards the heart and they combat a
variety of cancers and help to lower cholesterol and
control blood pressure. Chestnuts are beneficial as well
for individuals who are attempting to lose some
weight.
If you enjoy walnuts then you are in luck as walnuts have
many healing properties. Walnuts help to combat a variety
of cancers and they lower cholesterol and protect the heart
against disease. Walnuts also aid in a sharp, clear memory
and they are an instant mood lifter.
- Prunes may be good at preventing constipation but they
are also excellent at protecting the heart from disease,
lowering cholesterol and boosting a person's ability to
remember. Prunes are also believed to play an integral role
in slowing down the process of aging, which is enough to
make anyone smile.
- Green tea is very therapeutic to the human body. This
type of tea protects the heart, helps to prevent the onset
of strokes and is excellent at combating cancer. As well
green tea is an effective bacteria killer and it is helpful
when it comes to losing weight.
- If you like to take honey in your tea or if you enjoy
one of nature's purest food on toast then you are being
very smart as honey is beneficial for the digestive process
and it protects against the development of ulcers as well
as encourages the healing of wounds. Honey is also
effective at fighting a variety of allergies and it is an
excellent energy booster. The best honey is produced
locally - where ever you are.
Like everything else in life - a little goes a long
way. Eating nuts to help in weight loss is a fine idea
unless you eat handfuls at a time -- too much fat. Green tea in
excess can cause diarrhea. It is hard for me to say anything
bad about honey, but the truth is --- it is a sugar so don't
eat half a bottle in your tea or coffee. If
possible, go for local honey.
