NATURE’ S HEALING NECTAR: RAW HONEY
RAW HONEY and its NATURAL PROPERTIES " DAY 7th MONTH 2, 2011
Did you know that when raw honey is in its pure state it is filled with antibacterial, antiviral and anti-fungal phytonutrients? The nutrients in honey are soothing, nourishing, and toning for the digestive system. It has a laxative property and the enzymes in honey have shown to aid in the healing of gastric ulcers and ease digestive disorders. The minerals and enzymes in raw honey contain friendly bacteria of lactobacilli in six different species; and bifidobacteria in four different species. These species of bacteria will help to balance the flora in the digestive tract and neutralize toxins.
Honey tones the liver and regulates the blood sugar. It has a ratio of 1:1 of fructose to glucose. It is said that the fructose unlocks the enzyme that converts glucose to glycogen. The brain needs glycogen for fuel during sleep and physical activity. If the liver does not provide enough glycogen, the stress hormones will cause muscle proteins to be converted to glycogen and overtime this can cause metabolic stress which will lead to insulin resistance, weight gain, and diabetic. So, what is glycogen?
Glycogen is the main way the body stores glucose for later use. It is a large molecule produced in the liver, although it is also stored in the muscle and fat cells. After carbohydrate ingestion, more glycogen will be produced, and then released as blood glucose levels fall.
Good eating!!!.....To be continued says Ms Bettie

Healthy Spices That Have Anti-Inflammatory and Blood Purifying Properties
Turmeric "Day 05, 2011"
Turmeric is an anti-inflammatory agent; a blood purifier, improve liver function and has a soothing effect on respiratory ailments. It helps the body to digest proteins, when mixed with coriander and cumin it aids in the digestion of complex carbohydrates. Now, I know you are asking, “What are complex carbohydrates?
Complex carbohydrates are chains of three or more single sugar molecules linked together. Long chains of sugar molecules called starches serve as a storage form of energy in plants and when you eat those plants, your body breaks down the carbohydrates for your own energy needs.
Foods with the most complex carbohydrates include legumes, starchy vegetables like potatoes and corn, rice and grain products. Other vegetables such as green beans, broccoli and spinach contain less starch, but they have more fiber.
It is said, that turmeric will create glowing skin, reduce risk of cancer, lower cholesterol, and improve brain function. It can also be used in foods to enhance the flavor, such as soups, steam vegetables, stir-fry and on raw vegetables and fruits.
Happy eating!.. says Ms. Bettie
