The good oils, herbs and foods to eat to have a healthy, beautiful and balanced body.
The Good For You Oils, Herbs, Grains and Veggies
Having made a study for many years about the Bad and the Ugly foods that form part of the ever increasing monopoly of big Food chains (more about that in another tale of woe!!!) I want to share with you all the Good and wonderful things that Mother Nature provides for us if we will be do it. I have and do and am a truly beautiful glowing woman.
Good for You Oil
Black currant seed oil
Evening Primrose oil
Borage oil
Flaxseed (linseed) oil
And/or fish oils such as those containing EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid). Ask your doctor which would be useful for you.
What Oils can I cook with
Olive Oil naturally is a plus in any kitchen and sesame oil can also be used to cook with.
What foods can I eat and be healthy?
Lots of fresh vegetables and fresh seasonal fruits, grains and dried beans, preferably organic as they have not been sprayed with pesticides and chemicals. Check that fish does not have a strong smell and also that it is not listed as one that is not safe. Organic meats that have not been loaded with hormones or come from cows injected with bovine growth hormone. Eggs and fresh butter, whole milk yoghurt and do try making your own from a culture. I use to make it and it was quite delicious.
Herbs that help
Clove contains eugenol that offers protection against toxicity.
Lavender cleans the air and smells sweetly amongst your bed linens and underwear
Dill is delicious with toast and butter in the morning for brekkers
Sorrell adds lemony tastes to pasta and salads
Rosemary has so many uses in cooking and its extract contains powerful antioxidant factors.
Sage is for cooking but I love to rub it on my skin!
Ginger is a spice that contains ketones such as gingerol and paradol that provide antitumor and help prevent cancer properties. It also provides great protection against toxic pollutants.
Green Tea is a potent antioxidant that can potentially stall the development and progression of certain cancers by neutralizing mutations within the DNA that could lead to the formation of a tumor.
Parsley is Nature’s richest source of phytochemical myristicin that is a powerful liver detoxifier.
Peppermint helps to counter the pollutant benzo(A)pyrene. In a study published in Alternative Medicine Review, Dr. Belanger noted that the essential oils in peppermint have been shown to regress pancreatic, mammary and liver tumors, and may provide chemopreventive properties for colon, skin and lung cancer.
Relaxing herbs
Valerian, hops, kava kava, passion flower and lavender.
Getting rid of the villains with good protection
Air, stress, smoke and toxic pollution are just a few villains in the ongoing struggle for good health. These combined with the hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated fats and oils help in our feelings of tiredness and exhaustion and can lead to respiratory diseases, pneumonia and heart disease. So we need to be super sleuths. We need to use antioxidants and free-radical scavengers to help clear the baddies away. Research herbs and whole foods, go into the countryside or by the sea and breathe pure, clean air, meditate on your body being whole and healthy.
It’s up to you to take the steps that lead to good health and good nutrition for you and your family. Just Do It.

I think I'll print and hang this good information up. I love EVOO, herbs, vitamins, and also love lavender spray for around my bed at night, (helps you to sleep quickly and relaxes your mind.) I do love organically grown veggies. (expensive, however they're good.) I quit eating pork about 8 years ago too and I heard Dr. Oz say to drink very cold water for it burns calories when the body warms it up it your tummy. I enjoy walking the hilly road from my neck of the woods too. All good points in there, cn. Thank you so much!
Smiles and have a merry xmas. Bets :)
