Natural Aspirin Tea – Natural Healing Tea

1 Comment

Natural Aspirin Teatwig tea Choice

1 ¾ cup filtered water
1 bag Twig Tea bag
½ Umeboshi plum or ½ teaspoon plum paste
1 tablespoon Kuzu
2 drops good quality Tamari

Bring the water to a boil in a small stainless steel pot. Turn off the heat and add the tea bag to sumeboshiteep for 5 minutes. Remove the tea bag. Put the umeboshi in the pot and stir until dissolved. Place the kuzu into a drinking cup with mix 2 tablespoons cool water.  Slowly stir the kuzu and water in the pot and watch it thicken. Pour the thickened tea back into the drinking cup. Add the tamari drops and drink.

This tea is excellent to help relieve fatigue and when you feel like you might be getting a cold and if you already got the cold.

These ingredients are stables in my kitchen and have been for decades. In fact I always take umeboshi  and twig tea bags with me on over night trips.  I can always get some hot water kudzuto steep the tea bag.  And either add a little umeboshi into the tea or right in my mouth if the tea and umeboshi are not in the same place.

Most natural health food stores carry all of the above ingredients. Or order items from Gold Mine Natural Foods.

Teff – Ancient Whole Grain

2 Comments

Teff – is the newest of the new/ancient grains.  Originally a staple food of Ethiopia, teff is now grown in Idaho.  Only 1/150th the size of wheat.  It is a concentrated powerhouse of nutrients.

Teff is relatively inexpensive and snap to make.

Teff

Bring 3 cups of water and a pinch of sea salt to a boil. Add 1 cup of teff, cover, and simmer 15-20 minutes or until water is absorbed. Stir occasionally toward the end of cooking time.Serve with  sprinkled with chopped walnuts, almonds, pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds.

I love it for breakfast! The first time I ate it was in the morning on an empty stomach.  I felt an inner calm, strength and endurance that I related the feeling to the teff breakfast.

Available NOW in Ivory Teff with a milder taste or Brown Teff with a more robust flavor.  It is high in calcium, iron, potassium, phosphorus, zinc, and all the B-vitamins (except B12).  Teff is also high in protein, containing all 8 amino acids essential for human growth and development.

100 Restaurant Salads That Are Worse Than a Big Mac

Ordering a salad at a chain restaurant often seems like the healthiest choice to dieters or nutrition-conscious custom

ers. However, many restaurant salads are actually loaded with high-fat and high-cholesterol ingredients—like processed meat, cheese, and creamy dressing.

Physicians Committee dietitians compared the nutrition data of salads from more than a dozen

restaurants against the notoriously unhealthful Big Mac. They assessed calories, fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, and sodium, looking for salads that exceeded the Big Mac in three of those five categories. Overall, they found more than 100 restaurant salads that are worse than a Big Mac.

Cholesterol

While cholesterol is a hot-button topic, years of research have linked dietary cholesterol with heart disease. The liver produces all of the cholesterol the body needs to function. Consuming excess cholesterol can result in a build-up of plaque within the arteries.

Fun fact: Only animal-based foods contain cholesterol; plant-based foods are naturally cholesterol free. By keeping your salad focused on vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and legumes, it is easy to keep the cholesterol content down to zero!
