Celery and celery seeds

 I have never been a person that likes celery. I only used it in tuna and chicken salad. Lately I have been using it in my juicer. It has helped me loose weight, it gets the fat out of my stomach. Celery Is very good for your heart. It is also a good veggie for inflammation. Inflammation is anything that does harm to your body.  Celery seeds are just as good also. Celery seeds widen up up your arteries, by lowering your blood pressure. It is also full of vitamins like A, C and K. It also has calcium and full of fiber. It's good 😊 if you have a lot of gas and constipation. I personally added it to my season that I cook with. I take one season that has salt and add other non salt seasoning.  I have always cooked like this so I am a very low sodium person. To sum up both celery and celery seeds are good for us. This is my research. Always do your own research and ask your, or nutritionist if you are not sure about anything.

Carrots and Carrot Oil

 Carrots are very good for your body inside and out. Carrots are full of vitamins such as niacin, B6 and C. I can eat them cooked or raw. Carrots have beta carotene that is good for your vision. They are also good for a person's blood pressure, weight management, improve a person immune system and reduce heart disease. It also fights some cancers.  Most people eat carrot cake. Have you ever had carrots with a lit honey, cinnamon and butter. Put those ingredients together and let them simmer down and OMG. This is so good for you, and it takes your sweet tooth away if you have one. Something else that I enjoy is carrot salad and cabbage and carrots cooked and mixed together. I have also added it to my smoothies. Basically, I enjoy the taste of carrots and the benefits that it has for us. I have been making carrot oil for years for me and my family. Carrot oil is good for hair growth just like other ingredients found in the kitchen. At the same time, it is good for dry skin and h...

Basil has many daily uses

Most people just think that it is good on foods like spaghetti, lasagna, pizza and other foods in that category.  Basil is in the mint family. It is another antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial. There are many varieties of basil including cinnamon, genovese, sweet, holy, lemon, purple, greek, dark opal, green, lettuce, African blue, spicy global, napoletano and summerlong. These are the ones that I know of there may be more. Most of us use and know of the holy and sweet basil. Basil is full of calcium, magnesium, vitamin K (blood clotting, bone health) and A (eyes), Manganese (helps the body form tissue, bones, clotting and sex hormones) iron, zinc and potassium. Most people think that calcium is just in dairy products. We can also get calcium from eating greens and certain herbs like basil. I have personally tried to grow basil and I just could not get it to grow. I still love to eat it and put it in my foods on a daily basis.  I love salad and always put it in my...

Yes, please to ginger

Ginger grows out the ground as a root. It is related to cardamon and tumeric. The root  has so many uses. It is also an antioxidant. The skin on it is very thin. You can actually get a spoon and scrap the skin off. You can use a knife but that will remove too much of the actual ginger itself. Once you have peeled the ginger it is ready to be used. Ginger is very stringy. Meaning it has a lot of strings in it if you trying grating it up. There are numerous uses for ginger. It can be boiled as a tea, it can be used for hair growth, it can be used as a seasoning on meats and vegetables, it can be used in desserts. Also it is great in drinks and smoothies. At the same time it can be drunk if you have indigestion or heart burn instead of buying over the counter medicine.  I have seen and tasted ginger candy. I am not a fan of the candy. It is good if a person is suffering from nausea or upset stomach. The root can boost a persons immune system. It is great if you feel a cold/flu...

Lavender One of my favorite herbs

 To start off I am not a doctor or in the medical field. Everything that I have written I have learned from doing my own research. Researching and learning new things especially when I find out the awesome health benefits from it makes me so intrigued to want to know more. I enjoy pouring my knowledge into helping other reach their personal goals.  Lavender has so many benefits. There are so many different varieties of this beautiful flower. From my experience a lot of people just use lavender in their yards just for the landscaping to make their yards look beautiful. Holistically lavender can be drunk as a tea hot or cold. Lavender is great for inflammation. It has a nice flower taste that is not too strong. It is a acquired taste you either like it or you don't. I used to add sugar to it when I first started making it. However now I just make a pitcher unsweetened sometimes adding a fresh lemon to the pot when boiling. I also pair It with regular tea bags and boil them toget...

Remedies In the Kitchen

 There are so many spices/herbs in the kitchen that can improve a persons health. I am not in the medical field of work. The information that I post here is from doing my own personal research.  Cinnamon for example is a very good spice. It is one of the many antioxidants. Anti oxidants get the germs that we don't need out of our bodies. Most people use cinnamon in yams, sweet potato pies, tea or coffee for flavor. Cinnamon can also be used to lower a person's blood pressure or A1C level if you are a diabetic. We have to be careful with the cinnamon because if you take too much it can lower the level too much. It is best to just consume 1 teaspoon then see how you feel. When taking the teaspoon don't over fill it. I personal use cinnamon sticks in my smoothie drinks. I use the powder in my yams and coffee. Cinnamon is also good as a fat burner to speed up you metabolism. Consuming way too cinnamon can give a person diarrhea.  I have seen cinnamon in the pill form in pharm...
