Food Cures - Nature's Medicine

Guy · 03-19-2011, 11:26 AM

As I approached the age of fifty I've become interested in the things I eat and what I could benefit healthwise from eating certain food.

Thought it would make a great thread, and we could all learn together and share our facts here.

Remember when your mom gave you ginger ale when you had an upset stomach?

Well, Mom's know best

It wasn't the ginger ale that is good for you, it is
the ginger it's made from.

Ginger protects the lungs and colon, oil of ginger stimulates circulation and is useful for arthritic and rheumatic disorders, urinary difficulties, morning sickness and motion sickness.

Who Knew? Eat More Ginger!

Ginger is good for a crapload of stuff!

Unfortunately, I vomit if I take ginger supplements.

When you feel like a snack, nuts are a healthy choice, especially walnuts.

Walnuts are the only nuts that offer a significant amount of the omega-3 fat alpha-linolenic acid, ALA’s anti-inflammatory properties halt plaque buildup in the arteries that results when "bad" LDL cholesterol is oxidized.

No salt pistachio nuts are a healthy second choice, which help lower blood pressure.

You left out one very important nut...Almonds, almonds, good for your heart, the more you eat the more you … lower your LDL cholesterol, improve your complexion and digestion, and reduce your risk of cancer.

I keep a jar of pickled ginger in my fridge, like the kind used with sushi
When I have an upset stomach, I eat a few slices of it
Seems to help my stomach cope better
