An Apple a Day or an Aspirin or a Niacin PillRead the article this discussion is about
This archived discussion is "read only". « Previous 1 2 Next » » Parmalee - Re: heartburn Now I think about it, I do eat a lot of carbs...but I don't eat white flour or much sugar. I was to the point of getting heartburn even from water (and I use filtered!) But even organic whole grains and pastas aren't good by themselves, and on my budget, my diet got very out of balance last winter. Also, I've had a problem adjusting to New Mexico's lack of fresh, wholesome produce and haven't eaten enough of that group of goodies. A problem which I am remedying slowly. Anyway, the apple cider vinegar adds trace minerals, plus does a great job of getting rid of my heartburn! Oh, and if anybody does try this, it's a good idea to drink through a straw...a constant acid wash isn't that great for tooth enamel.-- posted by Parmalee » jerrib - Excellent article, Traute You do know what you're talking about. I really can't see drinking vinegar, though. I'll take mine on my brussels sprouts and cabbage!Just bought some apples from New Zealand: Pacific Rose. I'm going to try them today with some caramel dip (a treat for a visiting granddaughter). There are so many different kinds, and since I live in WA state, we have lot if varieties. Pink Lady and Braebern are my favorites. I do learn a lot from you. -- posted by jerrib

I have thought a lot about your article. This idea came as a surprise to me. 'If you are far too stressed and can't cope, don't reach for a tranquilizer, sort out your priorities and slow down.' -- posted by Jo Murphy » biogardener - Vinegar etc. Jerri, you don't drink the vinegar. I may add a teaspoon full to a two liter bottle of juice. The taste blends in and no one knows the difference. Mind you, I dilute all juice anyway, because I find them too concentrated when you drink several liters a day.About the stress. I certainly agree that reaching for a pill bottle only treats the symptom when we should be getting to the root of the problem instead. -- posted by biogardener » biogardener - benefits of an apple a day Here is a mailing about the benefits of an apple a day which I received from Emazing.com:
- The flesh of an apple is a good source of soluble fiber, which can help lower cholesterol levels and regulate blood sugar levels. -- posted by biogardener » biogardener - Niacin for headaches My son suffers from migraines, and he recently told me that niacin helps him greatly, so it seems to share another benefit with Aspirin.-- posted by biogardener » biogardener - Real Age Tip of the Day I receive the RealAge Tip of the Day by email, and here is one about the benefit of apples:
Reach for juicy apples for a healthy dose of disease prevention. Apples provide your body with quercetin, a flavonoid antioxidant which protects cells against wear and tear which can contribute to chronic conditions such as heart disease and cancer. Just don't peel them; most of the quercetin found in apples is in the skin, so it's best to wash the fruits well and eat them whole. -- posted by biogardener » Minnie - Re: Real Age Tip of the Day Traute, thank you for the excellent informative article. I appreciate all the great advice that you give and have recently improved my diet and become more aware of healthy alternatives.I heard from two different sources that vine-ripened fruit contains a lot more nutrients than those bought in the store that have been picked before fully ripe. Have you come across any information about this? I haven't heard of anyone being successful in growing apples without using pesticides. Is there a natural way to keep the worms away? Traute, thank you for your continued devotion to help us find natural ways of keeping healthy. -- posted by Minnie » biogardener - I do it all the time. Minnie, I do it all the time, and remember, I grow real apples, not crabapples, on the border between zone 2 and 3. If I can do it, anyone can.My secret: To keep garden pests away, surround each tree trunk with fragrant allium, the kind which will be there all year round, e.g. chives, tree onions, garlic chives, garlic, green onions. Do not harvest them, although you can cut off the tops to use in salads and cooking. Do not pull them out of the ground, though. Plant them sparingly, because they multiply. Here is a summary of my organic gardening articles: I don't seem to have written an artocle on how to grow healthy organic fruit pest-free. Must correct that omission. -- posted by biogardener « Previous 1 2 Next » Please follow the guidelines set forth in the Suite101 Posting Etiquette when adding to the discussion. |
