Yesterday’s Blog called “Antioxidants – Food Based Health Insurance” brought a great response from a retired school teacher who mentioned some foods that were important at this time of the year as well as throughout the year. Each one of the following foods she suggested are also important so I’ll add them now. I try to keep each Blog entry to about 21 lines when possible but other important foods need to be included as well whether flu germs are lurking around or not - especially the green leafy vegetables.
Asparagus eases hay fever, Basil helps shrink varicose veins, and Pineapple flushes out cellulite. Apples, oranges and strawberries are other Antioxidants that should be given a voice and are worthy of mention because they contain calcium, riboflavin, copper, potassium and zinc. Tomatoes are thought to help erase wrinkles – something we all might find interesting. They should be included since she gives proof with her nice complexion. And why didn’t Honey get some space since it contains just as many health-giving properties as spinach. Thank you Miss G for your suggestions - all great foods to include throughout the year.
According to Simone Gabbay RNCP, a nutritionist in Toronto, we can count on Mother Nature to provide the perfect antidote: Antioxidants which neutralize the electrical charge of free radicals, preventing them from robbing other molecules of electrons. Although some Antioxidants are produced in the body, most are derived from foods. She also mentions the power of positive thoughts that builds health as well. Now I’m eager to blend up a green smoothie that will include organic red chard and lettuce which I bought at Nature’s Fare today. I always blend in a ring of pineapple (that has been soaked overnight) and that always makes every smoothie delicious. For more information visit Simone’s website www.holistic-nutrition.com.
