Freeze & Preserve Fresh Herbs in Olive Oil Kitchen Tip Do you use your freezer to preserve herbs, vegetables, or fruit? The freezer can be a powerful, overlooked method of preserving. Pesto, strawberry puree, tomato soup — stash them away now for colder times! One of my favorite ingredients, a handful of fresh herbs from the garden, is one of the simplest things to preserve in the freezer, and I just learned a new, better way to freeze herbs: In oil! I noticed a post at The Gardener's Eden (read it here) recommending that you freeze some herbs in oil. Why? It's also a great way to have herbs ready immediately for winter stews, roasts, soups, and potato dishes. Given this use, the oil-and-freezer method of preservation works best with the tougher hard herbs such as rosemary, sage, thyme, and oregano. Soft herbs such as mint, basil, lemon verbena, and dill are usually added raw to a dish, and they don't respond as well to this kind of preserving. Here are some tips on preserving herbs in oil.

The Beginner's Guide to the Paleo Diet So you wanna learn about the Paleo Diet, eh? Here’s the ENTIRE diet in a nutshell: If a caveman didn’t eat it, neither should you. Now, obviously there’s more to it than that, and that’s what I’m going to cover in great detail with this article today. When you are following the Paleo Diet, you can eat anything we could hunt or gather way back in the day – things like meats, fish, nuts, leafy greens, regional veggies, and seeds. Sorry, the pasta, cereal, and candy will have to go! And instead of counting calories and perfectly partitioned portions (say THAT three times fast), you’ll be focusing on eating the right foods instead. And that makes me happy, because I hate counting calories. I don’t like keeping track of how much I’ve eaten or obsessing over how many grams of a particular nutrient I’ve had. Now, this article is SUPER long, so we took the liberty of converting it into a nicely designed guide for easy consumption (not literal consumption, unless you print it on bacon). Ready? Nope.

Fruits Allowed On A Candida Diet The Candida Diet, also known as the yeast infection diet, is designed to eliminate the foods that yeast thrives on, which are primarily foods rich in sugar. The idea is to starve the candida to death by not providing them with their needed food supply. Yeast infection supplements will have increased efficacy and more quickly restore your digestive system as you reduce sugars in your diet. Over time, your immune system will return to how it was originally designed to function. Many people enjoy eating various fruits, but in order to heal while on the Candida Diet, you should temporarily avoid all but a few types. Strawberries are a great choice for this diet, as they are sweet yet relatively low in sugar. According to the Holistic Health website, melons contain only moderate levels of sugar, but may contain small amounts of mold, so choose carefully and avoid overripe fruit. The Holistic Help website also lists pears as a good choice for the Candida Diet.
jack up your testosterone Ok here goes: I was 285lbs, diagnosed medically as having less Testosterone than a baby kitten. I think this was one of the things that got me seriously digging in studies and information in books and online until ultimately logic brought me kicking and screaming to whole natural foods. To stimulate testosterone production, the hypothalamus releases a substance to the pituitary gland called gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). This hormone, in turn, causes the gland to produce two other hormones, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), collectively known as gonadotropins.

Allowable Grains On Candida Diet When candida overgrows in your body, this yeast can cause muscle and joint pain, fatigue, sugar cravings, gastrointestinal problems, depression and repeated vaginal infections in women. To get rid of this excessive yeast, the candida diet eliminates most carbohydrates, such as sugar, starchy vegetables, grains and fruits, as well as dietary sources of yeast, such as fermented cheeses, fermented vegetables and alcohol. Despite being healthier than refined grains, whole grains are not suitable for the candida diet. Carbohydrates consist primarily of starches and sugars. Both starches and sugars break down into sugar that can become food for the yeast in your digestive tract. If your diet is rich in carbohydrates, you can worsen and prolong your candida infection. Most whole grain breads contain wheat or other gluten-containing grains, which are not acceptable for the candida diet. Making your own whole grain bread is the easiest way to avoid unacceptable ingredients on the candida diet.

Candida Albican Cure - Symptoms, Prevention and Cures What is homeopathy? | The Society of Homeopaths Homeopathy is a system of medicine which involves treating the individual with highly diluted substances, given mainly in tablet form, with the aim of triggering the body’s natural system of healing.
