Garlic, Honey and Apple Cider Vinegar: Must Have Excellent Home Remedy This is an excellent home remedy that you want to keep available at all times in your home. It's great as a preventative and for maintaining good health. There are some variations to this with the addition of other ingredients such as ginger, or cayenne pepper. The base mixture includes the three main ingredients of garlic, apple cider vinegar and honey. The apple cider vinegar must be unfiltered and the honey must be raw, unpasteurised (and preferably organic) honey for all the benefits to be realised. This remedy is an immune stimulant, it lowers blood pressure as well as cholesterol (if you are someone who still believes in that hypothesis), it leads to fewer colds and infections, and is helpful in conditions such as gout, arthritis, and joint aches. Ingredients 8 cloves of fresh garlic 1 cup (200ml) of unfiltered, unpasteurised organic apple cider vinegar 1 cup (200ml) of raw, unpasteurised honey Small piece of ginger (this is optional) Instructions Variations Dosage
Make-Ahead Steel Cut Oatmeal & 4 New Oatmeal Recipes You wouldn’t know it from the plethora of steel-cut oatmeal recipes I have on the blog (one), but steel-cut oats are actually my favourite way to enjoy oatmeal. The only problem is I’m usually too hungry to wait 30 minutes to eat breakfast. Hence, my obsession with quick breakfasts like Vegan overnight oats, Green Monsters, and rolled oatmeal. Oats in review: Instant Oats have been cooked, dried and rolled and are the most processed way to eat oats. Because steel-cut oats retain their chewy texture after cooking (while rolled oats tend to get mushy), they are the perfect breakfast cereal to make ahead of time and quickly reheat in the morning. Many of you said you like to make a big batch of steel-cut oats and then enjoy it all week long for quick and easy breakfasts. Make-Ahead Steel Cut Oatmeal With a little forethought at night or on the weekend, you can make steel-cut oats for 4 breakfasts (or more if you need!). Yield: 4 servings or 3.5-4 cups Ingredients: 1. 2. 3. Yield: 1 serving 1. 2.
Spinach and strawberry smoothie Spinach and strawberry smoothie I can’t believe I have not posted more smoothie recipes in my blog……. bad, bad girl :-) because these are nutritionally very powerful and extremely easy to make. We tend to have them a lot, almost everyday since it is super easy to add fruits and veggies to smoothies and kids love them. If you have kids, or yourself, and find that it is hard to incorporate fruits or veggies into your diet, this is the way to go. I always have plenty of frozen organic berries like strawberries, and raspberries in my freezer and bananas and spinach in my pantry pretty much at all times, so making them its just a breeze :-) Anyhow, I will try to post more smoothie variations since the summer is almost here and these are very indicative of this type of weather. Enjoy!! Print Save Ingredients: 6 oz fresh spinach 8 oz frozen organic raspberries or strawberries, I used strawberries for this one 1-2 ripe bananas 4-5 cups almond milk 1/4 cup flax seed meal, optional Directions: Related Posts

Ten Days to Optimal Health by Kristina Amelong Ten Days to Optimal Health: A Guide to Nutritional Therapy and Colon CleansingBy Kristina Amelong, CNC, CT Prosperity Publishing House Review by Sally Fallon In the past, we have steered clear of the subject of detoxification through fasting and colon cleansing in these pages, in part because the medical literature provides little research on the subject, but largely because the many books promoting detoxification through enemas and colonics include abysmal fasting diets based on vegetable juices and mostly vegan, lowfat maintenance regimens. Kristina Amelong's attractive book is different; her dietary principles are right in line with the discoveries of Dr. For vegetarians, she recommends raw dairy and eggs--as much as one-half pound of butter daily and 10-20 eggs per week. Amelong warns against consumption of all grains and legumes, which is good advice for those suffering from the kinds of digestive disorders she encounters in her practice. About the Reviewer

Why Calorie Counts Are Wrong: Cooked Food Provides a Lot More Energy | The Crux by Richard Wrangham, as told to Discover’s Veronique Greenwood. Wrangham is the chair of biological anthropology at Harvard University, where he studies the cultural similarities between humans and chimpanzees—including our unique tendencies to form murderous alliances and engage in recreational sexual activity. He is the author of Catching Fire: How Cooking Made Us Human. When I was studying the feeding behavior of wild chimpanzees in the early 1970s, I tried surviving on chimpanzee foods for a day at a time. About 25 years later, it occurred to me that my experience in Gombe of being unable to thrive on wild foods likely reflected a general problem for humans that was somehow overcome at some point, possibly through the development of cooking. To my surprise, some of the peer commentaries were dismissive of the idea that cooked food provides more energy than raw. Whether we are talking about plants or meat, eating cooked food provides more calories than eating the same food raw.
Peanut Butter Bomb Smoothie for Two When I was in Calgary visiting my family, my sis made me a peanut butter oatmeal smoothie one morning for breakfast. I sipped on it (trying my best not to inhale it because it was so good), while I made my nephews “Auntie Angie’s” special pancakes, of course with their eager help. And chocolate chips! Between the smoothie my sis made me and my nephews undying love for their Auntie, I felt a bit like a hero that morning. After mentioning it on the blog, I received a few requests for the recipe so I thought I would make a version at home and share it with you. This recipe today is a cross between my Peanut Butter Crunch Blizzard and Kristi’s PB Oatmeal breakfast smoothie. After pouring the smoothies into glasses, I crumbled the peanut butter balls into the smoothie and ate it with a spoon! Where’s a PB lovin’ sis when you need her?!
