Unleashing the healing power of organic foods ( Fruits & vegetables )

Hey I'm  Melissa "the legal Hustler " Mowatt

I am a 36 year young, stroke survivor. 
I have stop eating the cause of the disease  ( high cholesterol  and high  blood pressure ) cause by animal fats and flesh . Never again I wanted to  feel that experience anytime  again.  My entire left side when dead. But due to my strong mind set and back ground  in nutrition  I juice my self to health.

Organic  eating  - clean eating  - detoxification  - positive  mind set - self healing- cleansing  programs  - less toxic chemicals and  more Natural ways.

I'm a living proof that a healthy lifestyle  can heal and prolong life.

Mindset
I am  to say your mind can heal your body.

With that said I kept on telling myself your going to walk.  With my 15 year old daughter  as my driving  force.  I was determined  to walk talk/chat.

With God as my source of infehnite  health and my spiritual source of healing.

Clean eating
Eat none  processed food . Little to no sodium.  Only natural sweetner.  Whole grain and organic fruits and vegetables.  I'm here as living proof  that your intake can heal  or kill you.

Natural  fats

Coconut oil
Coconut milk
Olive oil
Avocado
Raw nuts
Cocoa
Hemp oil

Drink your vegetables  if you can't eat them.

Eat more raw vegetables and fruits if you can. Heat kills the nutrients that are ment for us to intake.

Did you know that 95 percent of the vitamins and enzymes our bodies need are found in the juice of raw fruits and vegetables? We would need to eat 2 lbs of carrots, 10-12 apples, or 8 lbs of spinach to get the same amount of nutrients you receive in one 16 oz juice. When you drink juice, highly concentrated vitamins, minerals and enzymes rapidly enter the bloodstream absorbing all of the nutritional benefits of the fruits and vegetables and giving your digestive organs a much-needed rest.

Freshly made juice is a great way to enjoy fruits and even some vegetables. Home juicing is good because you can enjoy the freshest juice possible.

You will receive a good source of vitamins from the fruits that you juice, especially vitamin C, however, juicing usually means that you will receive less fiber than was present in the whole food.
It is important to remember that because juices usually contain less fiber, they may not be as filling so you may be more likely to over drink this product than when eating the whole food.

We think it’s best to drink our juices the same day they are pressed. As soon as any juice meets the air it begins to oxidize, compromising its nutritional value. However, storing our full juices in the refrigerator in a tightly sealed glass jar slows this process.

The best time to drink juice is on an empty stomach or at least an hour before eating a meal. When your stomach is void of food, it is able to absorb all of the nutrients found in freshly made juices. Your stomach is probably its emptiest in the morning before you eat breakfast. This maximizes the amount of nutrients absorbed into the body. Of course, fresh pressed juice is still loaded with health benefits even if you can’t drink it during the recommended window.

There is lots of research that shows the healing properties of juicing. Not only will juicing facilitate weight loss, increased energy levels, strengthened immunity, strong bones and a glowing complexion, it will also reduce chances of heart disease, cancer and strokes, three of the leading causes of death. A growing body of research suggests that most vitamin supplements don’t help prevent chronic disease. A synthetic vitamin or mineral is a laboratory simulation of the real thing. Natural, plant-based vitamins and minerals are more easily and completely absorbed by the body.

While people do lose weight, this is a side effect of removing the toxic and extraneous matter that have been stored within your fat cells. By doing so allowing your body to achieve superior health. A juicing cleanse is not a diet, it heals, it nourishes, it feasts and regenerates your whole body.

It is impossible to eat the high doses of vegetables and fruits that are in a juice. Raw Juicing not only eliminates the need for munching and chewing high quantities of greens and vegetables, it also minimizes the body’s digestive effort, since nutrients are absorbed into blood stream within minutes. Juicing breaks down fibers in the vegetables, making it easier for our body to absorb all the nutrients.

Scientists have identified over 5000 different enzymes plus many more that our bodies utilize. Live enzymes are the catalyst for every human function. They perform 1000 important life supporting functions. They help repair our DNA help digest food, and help us assimilate the nutrients within food among many more. Dead processed and cooked foods have few, if any, live enzymes. Why? Because enzymes die when they’re heated above 118 degrees. Studies have shown that there is a strong correlation between eating animal protein and the incidence of cancer, heart disease and other illnesses.

Juicing it’s all about the live enzymes, amino acids, minerals and vitamins. Juicing is a nutrient dense way to alkalize your body & infuse your cells with a high dose of phytonutrients. By not eating solid foods you allow your body to conserve energy and utilize it to heal you at the base of the problem, NOT just the symptom. Juicing re-balances and cleans the sludge, mucus and toxins in our bodies so we can adequately absorb nutrients. It balances out our pH scale, letting our bodies be slightly alkaline, which is 7.3. One of the most important results of juicing is it will help to maintain the pH balance of your body. And as has been scientifically proven, you are less prone to disease and ailments if your body is slightly alkaline.

Fresh juice not only contains greater nutritional value, it contains life. Fresh pressed juice is like drinking a natural vitamin filled with living enzymes, essential minerals, antioxidants, and natural antibiotics, which are vital for optimal health. Bottled juices are pasteurized which means they are heated and processed, which kills vitamins and minerals.

Here are four reasons to avoid bottled juices:

Any juice that is going to last longer than 3-4 days HAS to be put through a high-heat, flash pasteurization process to kill microorganisms that could cause disease, spoilage, or undesired fermentation. This involves exposing the beverage to 250+ degrees F (thus killing all of the enzymes present) and letting it rapidly cool down after the heat.
If heating something that high can destroy all the potentially bad, it can certainly destroy the good stuff too. The high temperatures of pasteurization dramatically reduce antioxidant activity, if not eliminating it completely. Proteins are denatured by the heat exposure, and the good stuff is gone, people…. gone.
These juices are devoid of fiber, and loaded with lots of “simple” (processed, dead) sugar after the high heat process. This makes your body produce extra insulin to compensate for the extra sugar, which could contribute to diabetes. ***Fructose, the kind of sugar that is found naturally in fruits and vegetables, and in freshly juiced beverages, is fine in moderation when consumed raw (not pasteurized). This is because the live enzymes and nutrients that accompany the sugar offer the body much needed nourishment.
Bottled juices have extended shelf lives (due to the pasteurization) and sometimes are bottled in low-quality plastic, which has harmful chemicals that could seep into the beverage.

Organic farming use methods that minimize the use of toxins while building soil quality and protecting water quality. Additionally, buying organic supports chemical and pesticide-free practices that are healthier for our farmers and for our planet. Lastly, we feel that organic foods have more intense and delicious flavors.

More evidence seems to pour in every day that organic is better for you. If you’re a juicer, the ingredients in your daily cold-pressed blends should be free of pesticides and GMOs, too.

Below are seven reasons you should make sure that your next juice is organic:

1. Organic foods contain more antioxidants.

There are many substances that can act as antioxidants; chief among them are vitamins A and C, as well as beta-carotene and manganese. Studies have shown that a lack of antioxidant-rich foods can lead to a greater risk of atherosclerosis, cancer, and vision loss.

And oh, how you’ll look! Antioxidants fight those nasty free radicals, which can damage skin, and vitamin C builds healthy hair and promotes nail growth.

2. There are fewer pesticides.

While even non-organic foods contain less than the maximum legal levels of pesticides, common sense suggests that less is better: Some pesticides have been linked to myriad diseases and conditions, including Parkinson’s and cancer. And we should be pouring nutrients into our bodies without the worry that we’re also consuming undesired chemicals.

3. There are few to no additives.

It’s nice to know that what you’re eating is exactly what you think you’re eating. And because regulations placed on organic food majorly restricts the use of additives, processing aids, and fortifying agents that are often found in non-organic foods (preservatives, artificial sweeteners, colorings, flavorings, and monosodium glutamate), you can rest assured you won’t find any surprises in certified organic food.

4. Organic foods are better for the environment.

While you’re helping yourself be as healthy as can be, how about helping the environment and your fellow humans? Organic farming practices help conserve water and improve soil quality. Given the droughts we see occurring every year and the dire reports from environmental experts, these are no small reasons to go organic.

5. They’re higher in nutrients.

Along with fewer pesticides, this is probably the No. 1 reason folks decide to eat organic. Studies have shown that organic foods are often higher in vitamin C, iron, magnesium, and phosphorous than their non-organic counterparts.

6. Organic foods don’t contain genetically modified organisms (GMOs).

Simply put, GMOs are crops that have been made by combining different genetic material in a non-natural way, or by traditional crossbreeding. As an example, some crops are combined with bacteria to produce their own insecticide, called Bt-toxin. Unfortunately, the poison isn’t just bad for bugs — it’s bad for us, too. It can potentially damage human cell membranes. Yuck.

7. Organic food is often fresher.

Fresh food is the best food, right? And because organic food usually doesn’t contain preservatives, it should be eaten right away. If you’re eating food that’s been lying around for a week — and it still looks fine — it’s probably loaded with preservatives.

What is a detox?

lemon water detoxLet’s start with the basics, as there is quite a bit of confusion around the topic of detoxing. A detox diet aims to help the body rid itself of toxins. Of course, the human body has many natural detox pathways via the liver, urine, sweat and feces. While it is a complex process, the liver neutralizes toxic substances, and then releases them from the body (1). A diet specifically for further detox claims to help the bodies vital organs rest and recover, support and increase liver function, and give you a “boost” of important micronutrients.

Detox diets come in many forms, although most involve some sort of fast (water, juice or broth), and are followed by a period of clean eating. Some include smoothies, supplements, herbs, teas, enemas, and other methods of promoting detoxification.

Cleansing or detox diets are intended to clear your system and improve your health, says CBS News. If you want to make a real change in your health and not just a temporary fix, adopting a new diet for the long haul is a sounder option.cleansing diet, however, can help you change your eating habits permanently for the better. Even so, consult a doctor before attempting any form of dietary cleanse.

Identification

cleansing diet should not be a fasting diet. That is, it shouldn't have a component where you deprive yourself of food in favor of drinks or juices. Rather, it should simply include a balanced diet, says Keri Glassman, a registered dietitian. This can include vegetables, fruits, whole grains and lean sources of protein, such as poultry or fish. Some items that are typically eliminated across the board include caffeine, refined sugar, artificial sweeteners and alcohol. What's important is increasing your intake of raw vegetables and water to encourage your body to flush out waste and bring you to better health

Fat Burning Juice-Detox Drinks

Cleansing detox diets have become increasingly popular as a quick weight-loss method for improved health. A detox involves eliminating the toxins that accumulate daily in our bodies from what we eat and drink, our environment and the chemicals we use. These toxins build up in the body and contribute to poor energy levels, weight gain and an increased risk of serious health diseases. However, detox diets may be harmful to your health without the supervision of a physician and if conducted long term. Consider implementing aspects of a cleansing detox diet as a transition into a healthy lifestyle.

Short-Term

Conduct a healthy detox diet only in the short term. Most cleanses range between three to 10 days. Longer diet plans should be under the consultation of a medical professional who can determine your dietary needs. A main goal of a cleanse is to establish a healthier digestive system, giving it time to rest and recover from having to digest high fat and sugary foods. However, if conducted for long periods, there is a risk of decreasing the supply of healthy bacteria in the gut needed for normal digestive processes.

Drink Fluids

A healthy cleanse generally involves consuming plenty of fluids. Water aids in the elimination of waste products, pushing food through the digestive tract. This helps prevent constipation as well as decreasing stomach bloat and water retention. Drink 8 to 10 cups of water daily or more, depending on your activity level and needs. In addition to water, prepared vegetable juices and smoothies are also a main focus of many detoxes as these drinks provide essential nutrients to improve your health.

Fruits and Vegetables

A cleansing diet should have fresh fruits and vegetables as its foundation. Fruits and vegetables are rich in essential nutrients, vitamins and minerals needed for normal body functions, hormonal balance, skin health and the reproductive system. Many, such as artichokes, broccoli and berries, are also rich in antioxidants which help prevent certain cancers and the risk of heart disease. Produce is also a source of dietary fiber which helps fill you up and stabilize blood sugar, which prevents hunger and food cravings.

Fiber

A cleansing detox diet should contain sources of fiber to help eliminate waste and toxins. Dietary fiber is an essential nutrient that aids in the regulation of the digestive system, moving food through the intestinal tract and bulking up stools. It is the part of plant foods that is not digested or absorbed in the gut, meaning that it passes through to help flush the body without adding excess calories or fat. Healthy high-fiber foods to include in a detox are fruits with the skin such as apples and pears; vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower and carrots; and whole-grain foods including whole-wheat bread and rolled oats.

What is African Black Soap?

The African Black Soap is made from the ash of locally harvested plants and barks such a plantain, cocoa pods, palm tree leaves, and shea tree bark. Years of use by people around the world has proven it to be an amazing natural alternative for those struggling with troubled skin.

How is it made?

First the leaves and bark are sun-dried and then roasted in a kettle or pot at an even, constant temperature, which is important to ensure color, texture and smell. Then water and various oils - palm oil, coconut oil, palm kernel oil (including shea butter and cocoa pod powder) - are added to the mixture and stirred for at least a day. After that, the "soap" is left to set for two weeks to cure. Different tribes and communities in Africa have adopted their own specific blend of oils and cooking techniques, which can be seen in the different color variations among black soap.

Ingredients in Raw African Black Soap

Traditional African black soap made by local women is made from the following ingredients: plantain skin ashes, cocoa pod leaves/powder, palm leaves, palm oil/palm kernel oil & shea/cocoa butter. That’s it! Simple as it sounds, this natural soap only contains 5 basic ingredients that do an effective job of cleansing skin & hair without stripping off the skin’s natural oils like conventional soaps and shampoos do.

Other optional ingredients, such as honey, shea butter, cocoa butter, etc, may be added to make the soap more healing, cleansing and moisturizing.

What each of the ingredients do to promote healthy skin:

Plantain & Palm Leaves– Has a high content of minerals and vitamins, such as iron and vitamin A & E, which are all vital for healthy skin. Vitamin E is known as the ‘skin protector’ and it is a powerful antioxidant while vitamin A boosts collagen production. These leaves also contain allatonin, which is also an ingredient in Shea butter that helps renew and regenerate skin cells thereby helping reduce scarring and blemishes.

Cocoa Pod – Rich in antioxidants that fight off premature aging and also contain anti-inflammatory properties that soothe eczema, acne & other inflammatory skin conditions. Also tones, firms and tightens skin as well as repairs & renews damaged cells.

Palm Kernel Oil/Palm Oil – Has a high content of lauric acid that is a potent antibacterial agent. Also contains two forms of vitamin E, tocopherol and tocotrienol, that both ward off free radicals & UV damage as well as help in cell renewal and regeneration. Palm oil also has anti-inflammatory properties and is useful in treating eczema, psoriasis and acne.

Shea/Cocoa Butter – Rich in vitamin A, E, K and essential fatty acids. Known to moisturize skin, fade dark marks, spots & acne scars as well as heal damaged skin, burns & sores. Also used to treat inflammatory skin conditions and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

As usual, before using African black soap, make sure you aren’t allergic to any of the ingredients it contains.

What is it good for?

The African Black Soap has been used for a long time to treat troubled skin. It's good for fine wrinkles, dark spots, eczema, razor bumps, and clearing blemishes, acne, and rashes. It is also used as a light exfoliator. The soap can also be used on your hair, to treat scalp irritations. The plantain skins give the soap Vitamin A & E, and iron. Because the soap has the highest shea butter content of any soap, it also offers UV protection. The soap is also good for sensitive skin, meaning its a good option for babies or the elderly. 

 How to Use African Black Soap.

There are many versions of African black soap out there. But this raw handmade version straight from Ghana, containing both shea butter & coconut oil is a gem!

The best way to use the raw version is by taking it apart, molding it into a ball (this is to make sure it’s smooth without any rough edges) before lathering up your face. Be sure to create just a little lather when using it to cleanse your face (you can use a lot if using for shaving) as you do not want to dry out your skin. Rinse your face with tepid water then pat dry with a fluffy towel. Use a pea-sized amount of coconut oil/your moisturizer immediately to moisturize. That’s it!

Another great way to use raw African black soap is by cutting up the block of soap into small chunks then soaking it in 1/2 cup of filtered water overnight. When dissolved, pour into a cute mason jar soap dispenser and top with water as necessary. Pump a little on your palm, lather up and use as a facial cleanser or body wash for beautiful skin!

Something more usable and effective than the bar form is this liquid African Black Soap! Seriously, it’s liquid form! Meaning you can easily put it in a pump bottle and use it as facial cleanser or shampoo! It’s my new fav! You may even add essential oils for scent and other properties.

13 Uses & Benefits of Raw African Black Soap for Skin.

" Natural and handmade products may not look so good on the outside as they do not contain all the harmful chemicals and artificial colorings that give them a pretty scent and a fancy look. "

Though it doesn’t look so pretty on the outside, African black soap does have a natural & pleasant fragrance that won’t irritate even the most sensitive of skin types. It smells a lot like incense, which is itself soothing and calming. Let’s look at some of the benefits of raw African black soap for beautiful skin .

1. Cleanses Skin

Just like any other soap, African black soap does an effective job of cleansing your skin, ridding it of dirt, grime, dead cells, excess sebum and germs. However, unlike other soaps, African black soap does not completely strip your skin of its natural oils, thereby keeping it smooth and moisturized in addition to cleansing it.

2. Good for Sensitive Skin Types

African black soap is a popular choice for those with sensitive skin types that are prone to redness, rashes and other skin infections. If your skin reacts negatively to commercial soaps or even gentle soaps such as liquid castile soap, then you must try using African black soap. It contains absolutely no hidden ingredients that can irritate the skin.

3. Soothes & Heals Eczema

The ingredients in African black soap have powerful anti-inflammatory properties which soothe and calm eczema. Instead of using harsh commercial soaps and body washes for eczema, lather up with African black soap instead and notice how soothed your skin feels afterwards!

4. Reduces Blemishes & Dark Spots

One of the miraculous properties of African black soap is its ability to reduce blemishes and even out skin discolorations. The nutrient-rich ingredients have something to do with this skin lightening effect. The pure oils and butters in African black soap are rich in vitamin A, E and essential fatty acids that help lighten discolorations and reduce scarring.

5. Fights Facial & Body Acne

Need a gentle but effective cleanser for acne-prone skin? Then try out African black soap! It’s gentle, contains no chemicals and is a valuable acne-fighter! It’s also especially good for people with back acne. Use it twice a day to cleanse your face and body – in the morning and at night before bed for best results.

7. Reduces Oily Skin

The natural cleansing and exfoliating action of African black soap removes excess sebum from deep within the pores and on the skin’s surface.

8. Minimizes Fine Lines & Wrinkles

Ingredients, such as cocoa, are powerful antioxidants that ward off notorious free radicals that steal oxygen from healthy skin cells which causes them to become lifeless. Using African black soap helps keep away premature wrinkles and fine lines.

9. Evens Out Dark Spots

The vitamin and mineral-rich ingredients in African black soap, such as plantain leaves & shea butter which are both rich in allatonin, help lighten and reduce dark spots and marks on the skin.

10. Unclogs Blocked Pores

If you suffer from congested pores, use African black soap to deep cleanse and purify your skin from deep within without stripping natural oils.

11. Helps Fade Acne Scars

Ingredients such as palm kernel oil as well as shea butter help moisturize skin and naturally lighten and fade out acne scars. Did you know that acne scars look more pronounced when the skin is dehydrated and flaky? Moisturizing helps reduce the appearance of acne scars and fades them faster. The exfoliating properties also help slough off dead skin that normally collects above the acne scar.

12. Soothes Razor Bumps

Use African black soap during shaving to moisturize the skin thereby minimizing razor bumps. You can also use it after shaving to soothe & calm the red skin.

13. Eliminates Fungal Skin Infections

African black soap has anti-fungal and antibacterial properties that fight off bacteria, fungus and other microbes that cause skin infections.

SPINACH

Spinach is a very versatile vegetable and can be eaten raw or cooked.
What are the Possible Health benefits of consuming spinach?
** The possible health benefits of consuming spinach include improving blood glucose control in diabetics, lowering the risk of cancer, lowering blood pressure , improving bone health, lowering the risk of developing asthma and more.

** Diabetes management: spinach contains an antioxidant known as alpha-lipoic acid, which has been shown to lower glucose levels, increase insulin sensitivity and prevent oxidative stress-induced changes in patients with diabetes. Studies on alpha-lipoic acid have also shown decreases in peripheral neuropathy and/or autonomic neuropathy in diabetics.

**Cancer prevention: Spinach and other green vegetables contain chlorophyll which has shown to be effective at blocking the carcinogenic effects of heterocyclic amines which are generated when grilling foods at a high temperature.

**Asthma prevention: The risks for developing asthma are lower in people who consume a high amount of certain nutrients. One of these nutrients is beta-carotene, of which spinach is an excellent source. Apricots, broccoli, cantaloupe, pumpkin and carrots are also rich sources of beta-carotene.

**Lowering blood pressure: because of its high potassium content, spinach is recommended to those with high blood pressure to negate the effects of sodium in the body. A low potassium intake may be just as big of a risk factor in developing high blood pressure as a high sodium intake.

Other high potassium foods include potatoes, tomatoes, lima beans and oranges.

** Bone health: Low intakes of vitamin K have been associated with a higher risk for bone fracture. Adequate vitamin K consumption is important for good health, as it acts as a modifier of bone matrix proteins, improves calcium absorption and may reduce urinary excretion of calcium.

**Promotes regularity: Spinach is high in fiber and water content, both of which help to prevent constipation and promote a healthy digestive tract.

**Healthy skin and hair: Spinach is high in vitamin A, which is necessary for sebum production to keep hair moisturized. Vitamin A is also necessary for the growth of all bodily tissues, including skin and hair. Spinach and other leafy greens high in vitamin C are imperative for the building and maintenance of collagen, which provides structure to skin and hair.

Iron-deficiency is a common cause of hair loss, which can be prevented by an adequate intake of iron-rich foods, like spinach.

Nutritional breakdown of spinach

One cup of raw spinach contains 27 calories, 0.86 grams of protein, 30 milligrams of calcium, 0.81 grams of iron, 24 milligrams of magnesium, 167 milligrams of potassium, 2813 IUs of Vitamin A and 58 micrograms of folate.

Most of the calories in spinach come from protein.

Spinach is one of the best sources of dietary potassium, weighing in at 839 mg per cup (cooked). To compare, one cup of banana has about 539 mg of potassium.

A lack of iron in your diet can effect how efficiently your body uses energy. Spinach is a great non-heme source of iron, along with lentils, tuna and eggs.

Spinach contains approximately 250mg of calcium per cup (cooked), however it is less easily absorbed than calcium from sources like dairy products. Spinach has a high oxalate content, which binds to calcium deeming it unavailable for use in our bodies.

When it's all said and done, our bodies can only absorb about 5% of the calcium in spinach (about 12.5mg per cup) whereas the absorption rate from calcium in milk is about 28% (300mg of calcium in one cup of milk at a bio availability level of 28% would provide 84 mg per cup).

Spinach is also one of the best sources of dietary magnesium, which is necessary for energy metabolism, maintaining muscle and nerve function, heart rhythm, a healthy immune system and maintaining blood pressure. Magnesium also plays a part in hundreds more biochemical reactions that occur in the body.

Those with digestive disorders, alcoholic, older adults and individuals taking medications such as antibiotics and diuretics are more likely to have a magnesium deficiency and should consume more leafy greens.

Spinach also contains vitamin K, fiber, phosphorus and thiamine.
