Health tips are everywhere, well, except as it concerns informatoin we get from the US governement through the FDA. And, as much as the AMA and most boiler plate medical doctors who make their living on our sickness and disease do not like it, information is beginning to seep out into the mainstream about simple, yet effective cures for most internally caused disease. Here are some simple things you can do to increase your health and fight disease in your body by simply changing some of the foods you eat.
Increase dark green vegetable intake (dark green leafies). These are high in phytonutrients, chlorophyl, and oxygen. They are also alkeline (high PH) versus acidic (low PH). Cancers thrive in low PH environments, and hate oxygen and phytonutrients. Some great veggies that are cancer killers are cabbage, mustard greens, brocolli, spinach, cauliflower, brussel spouts, and especially large quantities of wheatgrass juice.
Increase your intake of tomatoes, red cabbage, red peppers, red radishes, and turmeric. These have all been shown to deduce the risk of lung and prostate cancerm, and lower blood pressure.
My favorite for summertime health – eat more watermelon! Helps prevent prostate cancer.
Sweet potatoes, carrots, winter squash, and orange peppers reduces the risk of cancer and heart disease,
as do corn, yellow peppers, yellow turnips, and parsnips.
For good vision, eat spinach, kale, collards, romaine lettuce, peas, celery, string beans, broccoli, and Brussels spouts.
Eggplant and beets are good to reduce the risk of cancer and heart disease and memory lose.
Eat onions, white turnips, and mushrooms-they are good to reduce the spread of cancer and some heart disease.
Eat dried beans for fiber intake, cooked of course. And, when you eat beans, eat them with brown organic long grain rice. This provides a whole protein (amino chain).
STAY AWAY from white rice and white bread. Eat brown rice and whole-wheat (if you are not allergic to gluten), noodles (not egg noodles), crackers, and whole-grain breads. If you are able to find it, purchase breads without yeast, like that of millet and flaxseed that uses baking soda in place of yeast.
Increase your water intake, and if you can afford it, get a good water filter for your sink faucet or under counter mounted system. Water is the cleaning fluid of our bodies on a cellular level, promote great brain health, disk health, and joint health.
If you must drink coffee, remember for each ounce of coffee you drink (very acidic), you need to flush your body with four ounces of water, i.e. one cup of coffee needs four cups of water to flush out the adverse affects that it has on your liver. A little bit of trivia – if you injected the amount of caffiene found in a single cup of coffee directly into your blood stream, you would die of cardiac arrest.
