Finely chopped carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, red onion and press it into the cream cheese mixture which you have prepared from the ingredients listed above.
Finally, sprinkle everything with a low fat finely shredded cheese and enjoy.

1 1/2 ounces of whole-wheat flour (about 1/3 cup)
1 1/2 cups of old-fashioned rolled oats
2 eggs
A pinch of salt
1 teaspoon of baking soda
6 tablespoons of unsalted butter
3/4 cup of packed light brown sugar
1 cup dried cherries

Cucumbers, A Great Way To Cleanse and Beautify Your Skin

Cucumbers (specifically, Gherkins) gathered fo...Image via Wikipedia

Eating a cucumber is like drinking a glass of water. Bearing in mind that 96% of its weight is water, a 250-g cucumber contains 240 g of water. However this does not mean that it is of little nutritional value. Those 10 grams of solid material in a 250-g cucumber are of great biological value and healing power.

Eating cucumbers for most people is way to induce several healthy outcomes. For example;

1. Cucumbers are a great diuretic. They increase urine output.
2. As a laxative they can't be beat. Given their weight in water content (96%) they facilitate the movement of the feces through the intestine.

Most people are not aware of the other great things about the cucumber.

1. Skin conditions: Cucumbers hydrate the skin and provide the sulfur needed for healthy skin cells, nails and hair. At the same time, they "cleanse" the bloodstream of toxic wastes. They are recommended for all who are suffering from eczema, dermatosis and psoriasis. Applied directly on the skin, cucumbers are an effective beauty treatment.

The best results are obtained by combining cucumbers' internal properties and their external effect on the skin. This is done by:

1. Rubbing it directly on the skin.
2. Preparing thin slices and placing them on affected skin areas.

Cucumbers also help with obesity problems because they contain few calories and produce a certain feeling of satiety.

For anyone with diabetes the cucumber can be eaten often because of their low carbohydrate content while providing a certain amount of vitamins and minerals.

So, next time you want to eat healthy and cleanse and beautify your skin try a cucumber treatment. Inside and out you won't be sorry you did.

Eat Cherries to Satisfy Your Hunger and Purify Your Blood

The Bing cherry owes its development to the Ch...Image via Wikipedia

Anyone who has ever had anything to do with cherries knows that when birds start to eat them they are ripe and delicious. A cherry blossom is not only beautiful it signals a time of year that everyone can enjoy. Cherry festivals abound throughout the summer months and add a cheerful note to the season.

There are several advantages to eating cherries. First, they must be eaten one by one, chewing them well to get all of the rich delicious flavor out of them.

A cherry treatment: Eating one-half kg of ripe cherries as the only food three or four times a day for two or three days is a great way to lose weight. Cherries make you feel full and therefore you eat less. If you have a delicate stomach you can boil them before eating. For a stronger effect you can drink several cups of tea made by boiling 50 g of cherry stems in a liter of water for about 5 minutes.

Cherry recipes abound and cherries fit perfectly into a variety of fruit pies, jams and compotes.

So, the next time you need a refreshing snack why not try cherries? You'll enjoy them and maybe even lose a little weight in the process.

Why The Heart Loves Grapes

Green table grapesImage via Wikipedia

Grapes satisfy hunger and purify the blood. New research by the University of Michigan states that eating grapes, one of the favorite fruits of all time, significantly enhances the simple blood pressure which lowers the impact that comes from eating a variety of fruits and vegetables. It is noted that the grapes' naturally occurring antioxidants is the key to this blood pressure lowering.
Our heart cells, like other cells in our body, already make a protective antioxidant called glutathione, a first-line of defense against oxidative stress and heart disease; but high blood pressure lowers the levels of glutathione. Grapes, on the other hand, actually turn on the glutathione-regulating genes in the heart, giving natural antioxidant power a significant boost.

Next time you need a snack consider eating some grapes. It couldn't hurt and might just lower your blood pressure in the process.

Melon, A Source Of Living Water

North American "cantaloupes", actual...Image via Wikipedia

Every summer I look forward to buying fresh melons from the roadside stands that seem to appear over night. The melons are fresh, ripe and delicious. Farmers cut fresh sections of melon so customers can test the sweet succulence of the delicious fruits for themselves. What better way to introduce the taste of the melon than to give it away. You know you'll buy one (or more) when you bite into the fresh fruit and relish the flavor.

Melons are a source of living water. They contain 90-95% water depending on the variety. The water from melons, as with that from all juicy fruits, must not be confused with tap water or even pure spring water. It is not passive, inert water that is a simple vehicle for salts and solutions, but living water that has been in intimate contact with the protoplasm of vegetable cells. The water in melons is biological water that has been involved in the thousands, perhaps millions of chemical reactions that take place within living plant cells. This could be why nothing quenches summer thirst like a slice of fresh melon. Moreover, nothing is as helpful to the kidneys as the plant serum that is the water in melons.

Melons contain less sugar (5.4%) than other fruits, virtually no fat and a respectable amount of proteins (0.95). However, above all, melons provide a well-balanced supply of vitamins and minerals. Most notable are vitamins C, B6, B1 and folates, but small amounts of the remaining vitamins, except B12, are present as well.

There are several advantages to eating fresh melons.
A. Melon consumption enriches the blood with mineral salts and vitamins and facilitates the filtering capacity of the kidneys. After eating melon, the kidneys are better able to effectively remove waste material and toxins produced through metabolic process.

B. Melons can help prevent early stage kidney failure, whose primary symptoms are fluid retention and scanty urine output.

C. Kidney stones and granules, particularly those that are uric in composition is helped through their remarkable alkalizing ability. Melons increase the solubility of the acidic salts that make up uric calculi and facilitate their dissolution and elimination.

D. Although melons are not urinary antiseptics, their alkalizing effect in the urine helps stop the proliferation of the coliform bacillis that cause urinary infections, which require an acidic medium to grow.

For those who complain that melon gives them indigestion try this; eat it before or between meals rather than after a meal as a dessert. You won't suffer from indigestion because the gastric juices won't puddle up in the stomach.

So enjoy Melon, A Source Of Living Water.

Lettuce, a Natural, Drug Free Sedative That Calms The Nerves

(nl: IJssla krop)Iceberg lettuceImage via Wikipedia
Many people in today's society are trying to lose weight so they have a healthy salad at lunch time. Then, after going back to work, they wonder why they are so tired. Well, the reason is this; Lettuce is a natural sedative and regardless of when you eat it during the day it is going to make you relaxed and sleepy.

So what do you do? Enjoy a lettuce salad at night as your evening meal not as a side dish. This will help you relax, calm your nerves and put you into sleep mode.

Lettuce has also been proven to help with the following disorders.
A. Functional disorders of the nervous system, such as nervousness, stress or psychological tension, or anxiety. Regular lettuce consumption produces a mild, and sometimes imperceptible sedative effect, while providing necessary B vitamins for nervous system stability.
B. Insomnia: A large supper consisting of only lettuce is recommended at night for insomnia.
C. Digestive disorders. When eaten before a meal, lettuce tones the stomach and facilitates digestion.
D. Constipation. Lettuce faciliates intestinal function because of its excellent digestibility and fiber content.
E. Obesity. Lettuce produces a great sense of satiety, but provides few calories. At the same time, it helps relieve nervousness and anxiety regarding food that often accompanies obesity. A large plate of lettuce significantly reduces the appetite in addition to providing a considerable amount of vitamins and minerals.
F. Diabetes. Lettuce is very low in carbohydrates; therefore, diabetics can eat it limited only by their appetite.

So there you have it. Eat lettuce at night time instead of your regular large evening meal. It will help your digestion and put you to sleep. By the time your body figures out that it is hungry again you'll be sleeping soundly and ready for a nutritious breakfast (which is still the most important meal of the day.)

Nighty Night!
