“The correct way to eat fruit”
We all think eating fruits means just buying fruits, cutting it,and just
popping it into our mouths. It’s not so easy as you think.
It’s important to know how, and when to eat.
What is the correct way of eating fruits?
IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUITS
AFTER YOUR MEALS!
FRUITS SHOULD BE EATEN ON AN EMPTY
STOMACH.
If you eat fruit like that, it will play a major
role to detoxify your system, supplying you with a great deal of
energy for weight loss, and other life activities.
FRUIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD.
Let’s say you eat two slices of bread and
then a slice of fruit. The slice of fruit is ready to go straight
through the stomach into the intestines, but it is prevented from
doing so.
In the meantime the whole meal rots, and ferments,
and turns to acid. The minute the fruit comes into contact with the food > in the stomach, and digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins > to spoil.
So please eat your fruits on an empty stomach or before
your meals!
When you need to drink fruit juice -
drink only fresh fruit juice, NOT From the cans. Don’t even drink
juice that has been heated up. Don’t eat Cooked fruits, because you don’t get the nutrients at all. You only get to taste.
Cooking destroys all the vitamins.
But eating a whole fruit is better
than drinking the juice. If you should drink the juice, drink it
mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must Let it mix with your
saliva before swallowing it.
You can go on a 3-day fruit fast to cleanse your body.
For those who
like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you.
It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this ’sludge’ reacts with the acid, it
will break down, and be Absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine.
Very soon, this will turn into fats, and lead to cancer.
It is best to Drink hot soup, HOT TEA or warm water after a meal. [Pender-Bey, Danette] (I’ve Heard this several times within the last year)

“Root out the Problems”
Root out the problems
Beware of quick-fix solutions that end up being worse than the problems they are intended to solve. There’s nothing to be gained from a cure that is worse than the disease.
And there’s certainly nothing to be gained from a solution that merely masks or delays the problem without addressing the underlying cause. When there’s a problem in your life, get to work rooting out the core of that problem.
Facing a challenge requires effort, and yet that effort is necessary only for a relatively short time. Running from the challenge requires ever-increasing effort that has no end.
The sooner you start working through a problem, the more quickly you’ll have that problem behind you. The earlier you deal with the root cause of the problem, the more effective your efforts will be.
Truly eliminating the cause of the problem does indeed take more work than quickly fixing the symptoms. Yet once the difficult work is done to remove the problem, it’s gone for good.
Do the work to root out each problem at its core. And your efforts will bring lasting rewards.

“Great words from a great man”
“Lord, in the memory of all the saints who from their labors rest, and in the joy of a new beginning, we ask you to help us work for that day when black will not be asked to get in back, when brown can stick around… when the red man can get ahead, man; and when white will embrace what is right. That all those who do justice and love mercy say Amen. Say Amen’…”

“Awakening your Spirtuality”
We think we are not happy because what we are not gettiing, But we are unhappy because what we are not giving- Marianne Williamson
There are two places that you can go to when you encounter trials and tribulations- There is hope and there is despair. Choice wisely.
In the moments of serenity and stillness, we experience something far greater than us, That is why it is so detrimental to at least take a moment out of every day and meditate. Sometimes if you have decisions to make, that very moment can help you.
To start your spirtual journey, Pratice these 3 things
1. Be still for a few minutes and go into stillness, this is a good time to pratice deep breathing
2. Look for the underlying message in every issue or problem. Ask yourself about the problem this question….”What are you here to teach me”
3. Find a spirtual community- Whether its a book club, an online support group another spirtual person, just find something that will help you gain more knowledge about spituality……………

“Martha’s Green Juice”
“Every morning I drink about 8 ounces of what I call “green juice.” I use a juicer to make a blend of spinach, celery, cucumber, carrot and some fruit - pear, apple, pomegranate, plum, peach, a bit of orange peel and a small piece of ginger. The more of these ingredients that come from my organic garden, the better. I actually feel a jolt of energy when I imbibe these drinks”- Martha Stewart

I love all things Martha!
“Food sent from Heaven”
God left us a great clue as to what foods help what part of our body!
God’s Pharmacy! Amazing!
A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye… And YES, science now shows carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes.
A Tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart has four chambers and is red. All of the res earch shows tomatoes are loaded with lycopine and are indeed pure heart and blood food.
Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the research today shows grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food..
A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds on the nut are just like the neo-cortex. We now know walnuts help develop more than three (3) dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.
Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys.
Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and many more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don’t have enough sodium in your diet, the body pulls it from the bones, thus making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body.
Avocadoes, Eggplant and Pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female - they look just like these organs. Today’s research shows that when a woman eats one avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight, and prevents c ervical cancers. And how profound is this? It takes exactly nine (9) months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods (modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them).
Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the mobility of male sperm and increase the numbers of Sperm as well to overcome male sterility.
Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemic index of diabetics.
Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries

Oranges, Grapefruits, and other Citrus fruits look just like the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts.
Onions look like the body’s cells. Today’s research shows onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells. They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes. A working companion, Garlic, also helps eliminate waste materials and dangerous free radicals from the body.
