And i disagree with this


Do we really need milk?

Vegan Sources of Calcium
Good plant sources of calcium include:
Green leafy vegetables: spring greens, kale, broccoli, parsley.
It is important to note that spinach is not a good source of calcium. It is high in calcium, but the calcium is bound to oxalates and therefore poorly absorbed
Fortified foods such as soya milk
White flour (as calcium is added by law) and white flour products
Calcium-set tofu
Oranges
Ground sesame seeds (tahini)
The calcium content is high but variable and absorption of calcium from tahini is not proven so tahini should not be relied upon as a main source
Figs and black molasses
Drinking hard water can provide 200mg of calcium daily, although soft water contains almost none[2]
Examples of amounts of foods providing 100mg calcium[3]
Type of Food grams
Almonds 42g
Black Treacle 18g
Broccoli 250g
Carob 29g
Chickpeas (boiled) 217g
Curly Kale (boiled) 67g
Currants 108g
Chickpea flour 56g
Figs 40g
Oranges 212g
Soya Milk (calcium-fortified) 83g
Spring Greens (cooked) 133g
Tahini 15g
Tofu (made with calcium sulphate) 33g
Watercress (uncooked) 59g
White Plain Flour 71g
Wholemeal Flour 263g
White Bread 56g
Wholemeal Bread 94g
Brown Bread 54g
Granary Bread 48g

The real powerhouse is full-fat raw milk from grass-fed cows. The cream turns a rich yellow color when the cows are feeding on rapidly growing spring and fall pastures. The yellow is a powerhouse called Activator X by Weston A. Price. Fat is not our enemy. The right kinds of fat are needed for the nervous system and brain. Fat helps you feel satiated faster and for longer periods of time. Clean healthy natural fats help you absorb other nutrients, and contains large quantities of the fat-soluble vitamins. Spring cream and other fats were revered by primitive people for their health building qualities and the best fats were given to young couples for a full year before pregnancy, during pregnancy and lactation. They went to great lengths to obtain these fats. When asked why, they said because - They make PERFECT babies.

Sometime back, maybe a few weeks.....someone posted color pic of different fruits/veggies that correspond to different organs in the body. They had the same shape of the organs, & were also good for that particular organ.

Does anyone remember who posted it, or where I might find it again. It was really interesting & useful also. Would like to print them off.

i found this


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 o f the research 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 cervical 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 h elp 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 materia! ls and dangerous free radicals from the body.

Love berries. I buy frozen berries and thaw them to eat. It helps since it's hard to find fresh berries that haven't been imported from somewhere. Also, freezing, if I'm not mistaken, helps preserve the nutrients in the fruit.

[TraineeHuman]

The strongest antioxidant is ALA (alpha lipoic acid). I guess it's really a supplement rather than a food. ALA is also in effect an anti-ageing agent because it helps repair the damage that occurs to nerve cells. (People who are about 80 and can afford it sometimes take stem cells daily, which also have an anti-ageing and repair effect.)

The second strongest antioxidant is goji berries (preferably in their natural form rather than in liquid form with preservative added). State-of-the-art naturopathic equipment shows that taking goji causes all the organs and energy meridians in the body to quickly become balanced and harmoniously integrated with one another. Powerful stuff!

Acai berries have been getting a lot of hype lately. It's true that they're the best catalyst for magnifying the effectiveness of vitamin C. But really, all berries are among the healthiest foods there are, as Burgundia has mentioned.

Another category of some of the healthiest foods there are are grasses and all types of sprouts (shoots) -- and, even better, the underwater varieties, of seaweeds and good types of algae -- such as chlorella and spirulina and so on. These have absolutely the highest concentrations in any foods of various vitamins and minerals. Incidentally, if there's a food shortage, the best thing you can do is chew clean grass, though of course you'll need to spit it out once you've got the juice out. The only drawback is, these foods are so rich and so packed with good things, it takes the average person several months of eating them daily before their body becomes able to absorb more than a fraction of all that good stuff.

The post starting this thread mentioned avoiding things like diabetes and cancer. Yes, everybody should eat mostly fruits and vegetables. But I'd like to point out that anybody at risk of diabetes (which includes at least one person in four over 40 or so) should try to keep their blood glucose level down. And it's been thoroughly proved that what causes blood glucose to rise to the most unhealthy levels is grains. Yes, that includes whole grains and breads and pastas and so on. They're considerably worse for raising glycemic levels than sugary desserts are!

Soy products are great for Asian people. However, in others they leach calcium out of your bones, unless the soy is in a fermented form (tempeh).

Benefits of Resveratrol
As a natural defense mechanism found in plants, resveratrol has a number of health benefits; when taken as a supplement, including the lowering of blood sugar levels and improvements in the immune system. Many scientists point to the compound as the key element of the Mediterranean diet, as it is commonly found in wine that is consumed in the region.

Common sources of the compound include red grapes, as well as several fruits, such as pomegranate and blueberries. With its rich antioxidant structure, a number of tests have shown that it helps the body protect cells, the nervous system and the cardiovascular system. As a result, many nutritionists strongly recommend consuming foods that contain the compound, especially for those who are recovering from illness or are at risk from compromised immune systems. Completely healthy individuals, however, can expect a wide range of benefits, including improved auto-immune response as well as potential improvements in metabolic rates that aid in weight regulation.

Leading researchers have shown that it is particularly effective in helping to prevent the onset of particular forms of cancer. In fact, a National Institutes of Health survey reviewed a number of studies which showed laboratory evidence of its benefits in combating the disease. Not only can it help ward off illness, but resveratrol has been linked to improved cardiovascular performance in fully healthy individuals, and is recommended by sports nutritionists to help athletes to recover from long periods of exertion.

The benefits of resveratrol have been splashed all over the media since the discovery that they may lengthen life. Perhaps you caught stories on 60 Minutes, the Dow Jones Online Report (below), talked about by Barbara Walters, discussed on Fox News, recently reported on by Rosemary Ellis, editor of GoodHousekeeping Magazine on the Today Show and by Dr. Mehmet Oz on the Oprah Winfrey Show.










The Antioxidant Solution

Don't be afraid of resveratrol, you've been getting resveratrol benefits from one or more of these six sources your whole life:

• Red Wine
• Cranberries
• Blueberries
• Chocolate
• Peanuts
• Supplements
