STOP USING THESE OILS IMMEDIATELY IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR HEALTH

Vegetable oils have gradually sneaked their way into all the aspects of our food supply. If you buy so-called “healthy” snacks, chances are, they are made with vegetable oils. Or when you eat out, most likely your food is cooked in some type of vegetable oil. If you buy mayo, dips, salad dressings you will find vegetable oils as part of the ingredients.

Did you know that vegetable oils were practically non-existent in the early 1900s? In fact, During the time of steam power, one of the best lubricants available was derived from rapeseed oil (aka canola)? (source)

Until that time, most people cooked with animal fats like tallow, lard, butter, cream, etc. As animal fats are the most natural and traditional form of cooking fats.

Today, people consume, about 70 lbs of vegetable oils yearly. Vegetable oil consumption increase can date back to the 1950s, when a governmental agenda was pushed on people to convince them to eat vegetable oils and margarine and avoid “artery-clogging saturated fats.”

These oils include: Canola Oil, Sunflower Oil, Soybean Oil, Cottonseed Oil, Peanut Oil, Safflower Oil. Rice Bran Oil and Corn Oil.

Avoid these oils at all costs since these oils are so delicate, unstable and can create some long lasting health effects.

DETOX TOXINS FROM YOUR BODY
( YOU CAN FIND IT HERE)
If you want your liver to function properly (eliminate toxins and cleanse all the impurities) you should consume reishi mushrooms daily. In, a study in Food and Chemical Toxicology showed that using reishi mushroom reversed chemical-driven liver damage in mice. Reishi mushroom is known for its anti cancer properties. It eliminates free radicals and promotes liver cell regeneration. Just take 1/2 tablespoon a day!

A healthy person does not always understand what a sick person is actually feeling in real time.

If you are healthy give thanks to God and take good care of yourself and try as much as possible to eat healthy.

If you have someone who is sick and recovering, be very kind to them.

Try as much as possible to avoid stressing on things you cannot control. Reduce your stress levels, they can get you really sick.

Every day has enough of its own troubles so take it one day at a time.

Don't think life is too hard for only you!

Remember those with heavy loads ALSO gets to their destination!

HEALTHIEST BERRIES & THEIR BENEFITS

1. Açaí berries

Açaí berries are unique in their nutritional profile, as they contain healthy fats and lower amounts of sugar than other berries and fruits. They’re also super-rich in protective compounds called antioxidants; in fact, they have as much as three times the amount found in blueberries.

2. Blackberries

Blackberries are a rich source of anthocyanins. These powerful plant compounds (polyphenols) are responsible for the berries' deep purple colour and provide us with valuable health benefits. Blackberries also have high levels of other compounds, including flavonols and ellagitannins, which also have protective properties.

3. Blackcurrants

Tart blackcurrants are one of the richest berries for their health-promoting nutrients. With more than 20 times the vitamin C and 40 per cent more protective polyphenols than blueberries, these are the undeclared stars of the fruit garden. Numerous studies suggest they’re of benefit for high blood pressure and other heart-related illnesses.

4. Blueberries

Blueberries have one of the highest antioxidant levels of all the commonly consumed fruit and vegetables, typically referred to as the ORAC score. They’re extremely rich in naturally occurring plant compounds called phytochemicals, such as ellagic acid and anthocyanidins. These phytochemicals are also responsible for the blue, indigo and red colours of the berry.

5. Cranberries

The juice of these little red berries is probably best known for helping to manage urinary tract infections (UTIs). This is because cranberries contain pro-anthocyanidin compounds that have natural antibacterial benefits and may help prevent escherichia coli from attaching to the surface of the bladder and urinary tract.

6. Elderberries

Rich in vitamin C and protective antioxidants, elderberries are famed for their immune-supportive qualities. Be aware, though, that you must cook elderberries before eating them – the Food Standards Agency recommends you cook them to destroy toxins present in the raw berries that may cause you to feel unwell.

7. Goji berries

Goji berries are super-nutritious and considered one of the richest natural sources of antioxidants, vitamin C, flavonoids and protective carotenoids, especially zeaxanthin, quercetin and rutin. Often referred to as a ‘superfood’, long-term consumption of goji berries has been shown to decrease LDL cholesterol (‘bad’ cholesterol) and help prevent heart disease. A study showed that a type of carb called polysaccharides found in goji berries may help regulate blood pressure and reduce bad cholesterol levels, which helps protect the heart.

8. Gooseberries

Gooseberries are high in fibre and protective plant compounds – a combination that may support a healthy heart and reduce blood sugar levels by slowing down how quickly our body absorbs carbs and sugars.

9. Raspberries

With a low glycaemic index (GI) and high fibre content, raspberries are a useful inclusion if you need to monitor your blood sugar levels. A source of protective plant compounds called polyphenols, raspberries may help reduce the physical effects of ageing and improve balance and strength. The berries are rich in vitamin C, which is important for collagen production and may help protect the skin from UV damage.

10. Strawberries

Strawberries are low in calories, yet sweet-tasting, so they work well as a healthy alternative to treats and puddings. As a source of heart-friendly nutrients, including potassium, folate and vitamin C, strawberries may help manage blood pressure.
