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

Image 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!

WET BURRITOS... WITH A KICK

W are sure that sometime during your life you have had a delicious wet burrito. We are also sure that you have NEVER had a wet burrito like the one we're going to share with you today. It is a burrito with a kick (okay, our little secret ingredient.) We hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Yes, it takes a little time to prepare but we assure you... IT IS WORTH THE EFFORT!

INGREDIENTS:

BASICS:
1 pound of ground beef (or turkey or chicken)
1 package of taco seasoning
chopped lettuce
flour tortillas
1 small container of french onion dip
1 can or preferably fresh diced tomato

SAUCE:
1 can of brown gravy
1 envelope of taco sauce
1 envelope (or can) of enchilada sauce
1 cup of water
An assortment of your favorite cheese. We use four different kinds and vary them each time we prepare this meal. Whatever is your favorite, use it.

PREPARATION:

Brown the meat you have chosen to use and then drain it completely. Add the taco seasoning as directed on the package. Cover a flour tortilla with the french onion dip and then place the chopped lettuce on top. Add some of the cheese you have selected to use, sprinkle in some diced tomatoes and then put the meat on top of everything. Wrap the tortilla (we know that can be a challenge but it doesn't need to be neat, just wrapped.) Place the wrapped tortilla in a 9 x 13 pan (the higher the sides the better as it's going to get messy in a minute.)

Mix and simmer the gravy, taco sauce, enchilada sauce and water. Pour all of this over the burritos. Top everything off with the remaining cheese (the more you use the better it is.) We like to add more tomatoes and lettuce over the top too but it is your choice. Bake your special creation at 350 degrees until it is heated and all of that delicious cheese has melted all around it.

Remove from the oven, let stand for a few minutes so you don't burn your little fingers and then dig in. The french onion dip you've put in as a base helps to bring all of the other tastes to the front and you'll never make another burrito any other way, guaranteed!
