A wise man once said, “The Earth laughs in flowers.” Flowers are the prettiest of nature’s creation. They add colour to the world. Flowers make everyone happy. And who does not like a Rose! One of the prettiest flowers there is, the beauty of the Rose flower is such that every heart skips a beat on seeing one! No wonder Rose is associated with love.

Flourishing Flowers

Roses are among the favourite flowers to grow. Most modern varieties of Rose plants available today bloom throughout the growing season. They have a lucrative market and find buyers easily. Like all plants, the quality of the bloom of the Roses depends on the basic triangle of Soil, Water and Light. While we do not have much control over the Sun that provides the light, we can definitely tweak Soil and Water to achieve better results. The key to flourishing flowers lies in the quality of the water used for irrigation and the soil used for planting.

Rose plants require more water during the initial stages. This phase is critical as it determines how the plant and the subsequent bloom will shape up. The nourishment provided during the initial phase is crucial. Rose plants require more water in the growing season. They need water of a good quality that charges them and keeps them well hydrated throughout the day. If the weather is particularly hot, dry and windy, the soil is fast draining. This necessitates additional water for better hydration. Also, the soil must be such that it retains moisture for a longer duration.

We put the Plan in Planting!

Structured water is the secret to healthy plant growth & bigger roses. Structured Water puts the plan into your planting. It has been scientifically demonstrated that the use of Structured Water improves soil quality. Structured Water increases oxygen concentration, betters the bioavailability of water & nutrients to plants. It also significantly reduces the dependence on fertilizers & pesticides.

Crystal Blue’s Water Structuring Devices are inspired by the natural scheme of things. They emulate the natural processes and enhance water at the molecular level. Harmful chemicals that are added to soften and disinfect water are neutralized in water structuring devices.

Structured water has a greater ability than unstructured water to hydrate and nourish plants as it has lower surface tension. It also penetrates easily into the soil and helps in water conservation. The soil permeability is improved, which allows the accumulated salt buildup to sink deeper into the soil, which aids in better absorption of nutrients to the plants. Structured Water has a balanced pH and aids in the better growth of plants.

With the use of Structured Water, the Rose blooms are healthier and stronger. Also, the blooms last longer and have a longer shelf life.

Hibiscus is a genus of flowering plants in the mallow family, Malvaceae. The genus is quite large, comprising several hundred species that are native to warm temperate, subtropical and tropical regions throughout the world. Member species are renowned for their large, showy flowers and those species are commonly known simply as "hibiscus", or less widely known as rose mallow. Other names include hardy hibiscus, rose of sharon, and tropical hibiscus.

The genus includes both annual and perennial herbaceous plants, as well as woody shrubs and small trees. The generic name is derived from the Greek name ἰβίσκος (ibískos) which Pedanius Dioscorides gave to Althaea officinalis (c. 40–90 AD).

Several species are widely cultivated as ornamental plants, notably Hibiscus syriacus and Hibiscus rosa-sinensis.

A tea made from the flowers of Hibiscus sabdariffa is known by many names around the world and is served both hot and cold. The beverage is known for its red colour, tart flavour, and vitamin C content.

Description

The leaves are alternate, ovate to lanceolate, often with a toothed or lobed margin (dentate). The flowers are large, conspicuous, trumpet-shaped, with five or more petals, colour from white to pink, red, blue, orange, peach, yellow or purple,[8] and from 4–18 cm broad.

Pollen grain

Hibiscus flower

Flower colour in certain species, such as H. mutabilis and H. tiliaceus, changes with age. The fruit is a dry five-lobed capsule, containing several seeds in each lobe, which are released when the capsule dehisces (splits open) at maturity. It is of red and white colours. It is an example of complete flowers.

Species

Main article: List of Hibiscus species

In temperate zones, probably the most commonly grown ornamental species is Hibiscus syriacus, the common garden hibiscus, also known in some areas as the "rose of Althea" or "rose of Sharon" (but not to be confused with the unrelated Hypericum calycinum, also called "rose of Sharon"). In tropical and subtropical areas, the Chinese hibiscus (H. rosa-sinensis), with its many showy hybrids, is the most popular hibiscus.

Uses

Landscaping

Many species are grown for their showy flowers or used as landscape shrubs, and are used to attract butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds.

Hibiscus is a very hardy, versatile plant and in tropical conditions it can enhance the beauty of any garden. Being versatile it adapts itself easily to balcony gardens in crammed urban spaces and can be easily grown in pots as a creeper or even in hanging pots. It is a perennial and flowers throughout the year. As it comes in a variety of colors, it's a plant which can add vibrancy to any garden.

The only infestation that gardeners need to be vigilant about is mealybugs. Mealybug infestations are easy to spot as they are clearly visible as a distinct white cottony infestation on buds, leaves or even stems. To protect the plant you need to trim away the infected part, spray with water, and apply an appropriate pesticide.

Paper

One species of Hibiscus, known as kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus), is extensively used in paper-making.

Rope and construction

The inner bark of the sea hibiscus (Hibiscus tiliaceus), also called 'hau', is used in Polynesia for making rope, and the wood for making canoe floats.[citation needed] The ropes on the missionary ship Messenger of Peace were made of fibres from hibiscus trees.

Beverage

Main article: Hibiscus tea

The tea made of the calyces of Hibiscus sabdariffa is known by many names in many countries around the world and is served both hot and cold. The beverage is well known for its red colour, tartness and unique flavour. Additionally, it is highly nutritious because of its vitamin C content.

It is known as bissap in West Africa, "Gul e Khatmi" in Urdu & Persian, agua de jamaica in Mexico and Central America (the flower being flor de jamaica) and Orhul in India. Some refer to it as roselle, a common name for the hibiscus flower. In Jamaica, Trinidad and many other islands in the Caribbean, the drink is known as sorrel (Hibiscus sabdariffa; not to be confused with Rumex acetosa, a species sharing the common name sorrel). In Ghana, the drink is known as soobolo in one of the local languages.

In Cambodia, a cold beverage can be prepared by first steeping the petals in hot water until the colors are leached from the petals, then adding lime juice (which turns the beverage from dark brown/red to a bright red), sweeteners (sugar/honey) and finally cold water/ice cubes.

In Egypt and Sudan, hibiscus tea is known as karkadé (كركديه), and is served as both a hot and a cold drink.

Hibiscus (also known in Sri Lanka as shoe flower, සපත්තු මල, වද මල in Sinhalese) is an ingredient with a rich heritage of refreshing Lankans. Fresh juices, ice teas and syrups made of the Hibiscus flower are famous refreshments among Sri Lankans.

Food

Dried hibiscus is edible, and it is often a delicacy in Mexico. It can also be candied and used as a garnish, usually for desserts.

The roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa) is used as a vegetable. The species Hibiscus suratensis Linn synonymous with Hibiscus aculeatus G. Don is noted in Visayas in the Philippines as being a souring ingredient for almost all local vegetables and menus. Known as labog in the Visayan area (or labuag/sapinit in Tagalog), the species is an ingredient in cooking native chicken soup.

Hibiscus species are used as food plants by the larvae of some lepidopteran species, including Chionodes hibiscella, Hypercompe hambletoni, the nutmeg moth, and the turnip moth.

Folk medicine

Hibiscus rosa-sinensis is described as having a number of medical uses in Indian Ayurveda.

Claimed effects on blood pressure

It has been claimed that sour teas derived from Hibiscus sabdariffa may lower blood pressure.

Precautions and contraindications

Pregnancy and lactation

While the mechanism is not well understood, previous animal studies have demonstrated both an inhibitory effect of H. sabdariffa on muscle tone and the anti-fertility effects of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, respectively. The extract of H. sabdariffa has been shown to stimulate contraction of the rat bladder and uterus; the H. rosa-sinensis extract has exhibited contraceptive effects in the form of estrogen activity in rats. These findings have not been observed in humans. The Hibiscus rosa-sinensis is also thought to have emmenagogue effects which can stimulate menstruation and, in some women, cause an abortion. Due to the documented adverse effects in animal studies and the reported pharmacological properties, the H. sabdariffa and H. rosa-sinensis are not recommended for use during pregnancy.

Drug interactions

It is postulated that H. sabdariffa interacts with diclofenac, chloroquine and acetaminophen by altering the pharmacokinetics. In healthy human volunteers, the H. sabdariffa extract was found to reduce the excretion of diclofenac upon co-administration. Additionally, co-administration of Karkade (H. sabdariffa), a common Sudanese beverage, was found to reduce chloroquine bioavailability. However, no statistically significant changes were observed in the pharmacokinetics of acetaminophen when administered with the Zobo (H. sabdariffa) drink. Further studies are needed to demonstrate clinical significance.

Symbolism and culture

The red hibiscus is the flower of the Hindu goddess Kali, and appears frequently in depictions of her in the art of Bengal, India, often with the goddess and the flower merging in form. The hibiscus is used as an offering to Kali and the god Ganesha in Hindu worship.

In the Philippines, the gumamela (the local name for hibiscus) is used by children as part of a bubble-making pastime. The flowers and leaves are crushed until the sticky juices come out. Hollow papaya stalks are then dipped into this and used as straws for blowing bubbles. Together with soap, hibiscus juices produce more bubbles. It is also called "Tarukanga" in Waray, particularly in Eastern Samar province.

The hibiscus flower is traditionally worn by Pacific island women, and is a known shared custom that if the flower is worn behind the left ear, the woman is married or has a boyfriend. If the flower is worn on the right, she is single or openly available for a relationship.[citation needed] The pink hibiscus flower has its origins in Asia and the Pacific Islands, where it has served as a symbol of beauty, femininity, and young love. It is commonly associated with the Hawaiian culture and the Aloha spirit, which celebrates love, happiness, and peace.

A stylized image of the hibiscus flower was used as a logo of Air_Polynésie.

Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie named her first novel Purple Hibiscus after the delicate flower.

The bark of the hibiscus contains strong bast fibres that can be obtained by letting the stripped bark set in the sea to let the organic material rot away.

As a national and state symbol

The hibiscus is a national symbol of Haiti, and the national flower of nations including the Solomon Islands and Niue. Hibiscus syriacus is the national flower of South Korea, and Hibiscus rosa-sinensis is the national flower of Malaysia. Hibiscus brackenridgei is the state flower of Hawaii.

Introduction

A Nicoise salad is such a tasty combination of ingredients and makes the perfect packed lunch – cheap, quick and easy to make, transports well and is very nutritious. Tinned tuna is a good source of bioavailable protein, omega-3 fats and selenium. Look for sustainably fished tinned tuna – I like the Fish 4 Ever brand. Cooked and cooled white potatoes are a good source of resistant starch, which will feed healthy gut bacteria.

Serves 2

Ingredients:

•2 eggs

•4 small new potatoes, or 2 white potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks

•100g asparagus

•10 cherry tomatoes, halved

•1 little gem lettuce

•1 tin of tuna in spring water, brine or olive oil (avoid sunflower oil)

•Optional: Handful of pitted kalamata olives

•Optional: tinned anchovies

•Fresh parsley & cress to garnish

For the dressing:

•1/2 teaspoon sea salt

•1/2 clove garlic

•1/2 teaspoon English mustard powder

•1 tablespoon white wine vinegar

•3 tablespoons good quality extra virgin olive oil

Method:

1.Place the potatoes into a pan of boiling water and set a timer for 3 minutes.

2.After 3 minutes add the eggs to the pan (make sure the water covers the eggs completely) and set a timer for a further 3 minutes.

3.After the 3 minutes, add the asparagus and cook everything for a further 5 minutes.

4.Drain the potatoes, beans/asparagus and eggs and leave to cool.

5.Drain the tin of tuna.

To make the dressing:

1.In a pestle and mortar crush the sea salt with the garlic until it forms a paste. Add the mustard powder and work into the paste. Then add some freshly ground black pepper, the vinegar and the olive oil and mix until well combined. Mix in a little chopped fresh parsley.

2.Once the potatoes and asparagus are cool – assemble the salad. Peel the eggs and cut in half. Place the lettuce, tomatoes, asparagus, tuna, eggs and potatoes into 2 bowls. Add the olives and anchovies.

3.If serving immediately, drizzle over the dressing and serve, garnishing with fresh parsley and cress. If taking for a packed lunch, keep the dressing in a separate container and dress the salad just before eating.

Turmeric

Turmeric is one of the most popular superfoods on the planet with millions of people worldwide using Turmeric for its medicinal and natural healing properties. Its component curcumin is being widely studied in modern medicine today with studies indicating very promising and concluding results relating to supporting a healthy inflammatory response.

The rhizome (root) of the turmeric plant is one of the most popularized superfoods on the planet, with a huge number of people using it to supplement their daily nutrition. The turmeric root has been a staple of the Ayurvedic tradition for centuries for respiratory system health, wakefullness, joint health, and a variety of other applications. Turmeric’s primary active component, curcumin, is the subject of a raft of studies in science today. Some research indicates very promising results.

Ginger

Ginger is another superfood root extremely popular. Some of ginger’s benefits include support for digestive health, antioxidant effects, and also weight control properties. Much like turmeric, ginger also helps to provide a healthy response to inflammation.

Another superfood rhizome that is constantly in the natural health spotlight, ginger is used by people all over the world – not only for its delicious taste, but equally for its long list of health benefits. Ginger is well known to promote digestive comfort. Much like turmeric, ginger also helps support joint health, which can be a real boon for those looking for joint-related supplements.

BioPerine

BioPerine® is the only product sourced out of piperine to obtain a patented status for its ability to increase the bioavailability of nutritional compounds, including Curcuma longa (turmeric) and ginger.

BioPerine® is a patented extract of peppercorn and its close cousin, long pepper. The chemical name of BioPerine® is piperine. Piperine is responsible for the distinct pepper taste that many of us love at the dinner table, but more importantly piperine can dramatically increase the absorption of some nutrients into the body. Most relevant here is piperine’s effect on curcumin (turmeric) absorption. When piperine and curcumin are eaten together, there can be a 20-fold increase in bioavailability compared with curcumin alone! Who would have thought that pepper could make turmeric so much more potent?

Incredibly pleased with these Black garlic results.. I’m not one for extra kitchen gadgets, clutter and single purpose appliance are 👎 in my books so I held off on a garlic fermenter for many years, trying to produce the same results in a rice cooker to the instapot and everything in between but never quite reaching the results I was looking for (precise humidity and temperature play a critical role). I found a large box under the Christmas Tree this year, so have been playing with my new toy 😁 These are deeply caramelized, like a wine flavoured, balsamic fig, sweet, soft and smoky and impossible to describe in words. This took five days, I opened it halfway through the recommended 9 days as my garlic was a bit on the drier side and I didn’t want to lose more moisture. They were perfection 😍 There seems to be some controversy as to whether the chemical reaction that occurs is actually fermentation or whether it’s just the Maillard reaction changing the sugars in the garlic as it ages, it is clear that the process enhances the bioavailability of the nutritious compounds in the garlic, doubling cancer fighting antioxidants among other things, as well as increasing the antibiotic, antimicrobial, hepatoprotective and neuroprotective effects when compared to fresh raw garlic. The incredible umami flavour, deep, almost caramelized is hard to compare to anything else. #blackgarlic #maillardreaction #blackgarlicfermenter #nourishing #allium #garlic #kitchenalchemy

There are a few new Bread List subscribers so I wanted to share the process of my sourdough to answer some of your questions (Namely, “Why can I eat this bread without any problems? I haven’t been able to eat bread in years! What’s different?”)😍 To start, our digestive systems are not meant to process gluten that has not been fermented. Sprouting activates the enzymes in the grain, bringing it to life and making the nutrients available for us to absorb. I begin with locally sourced, BC grown organic/non modified grain (regionally grown grains like Einkorn, Emmer, Spelt, Rye, Khorasan, etc). I soak them, and sprout them, activating the enzymes and making the nutrients bioavailable, a process that takes several days to just under a week depending on the grain. The sprouted grains are then gently dried at a low temperature to avoid damaging the enzymes. Once dry, the sprouted grain is milled into (100% extraction) fresh flour, so you are getting all three components of the complete grain, nothing is removed/added. Every loaf is made by hand, using sprouted flour that has been milled the same day, and then each loaf is long fermented (48h and up to a week for my celiac/gluten sensitive members), making it a loaf that is incredibly easy on the digestive system, has a low gluten content (lower than commercially available “gluten free certified” products- specific studies indicate), is low on the Glycemic Index, and most importantly, the nourishing vitamins/minerals are bioavailable for absorption. This is a quick overview, you can find more detailed earlier posts here on each specific component of the process and the importance of it, or feel free to ask! It takes time, and patience. It also brings me tremendous joy to share bread with you all ❤️ Thank you for all your kind words, and sweet photos #sourdough #fermentation #sourdoughbread #wholefoods #nourishingtraditions #realbread #slowfood #feedingmyfamily #nourishingfoods #nutrition #naturallyleavened #eatrealfood #fermentedfoods #sproutedbread #sproutedflour #gluten #guthealth #digestion #enzymes #brot #flourwatersalt #lactobacillus #bacterialcultures #ferment #sprouting #glycemicindex #bioavailability

Let's exploring the Benefits and Considerations of Protein Shakes for Health

Protein shakes have gained widespread popularity as a convenient way to enhance protein intake, especially among individuals focused on muscle growth, weight management, and post-workout recovery. However, the topic of protein shake benefits has sparked debates and divergent opinions. This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the pros and cons of protein shakes, offering an informed perspective on their suitability as a dietary supplement.

Balanced Viewpoint:

This article aims to offer an impartial examination of the subject, empowering readers to make well-informed choices. Key considerations encompass protein sources, recommended daily protein requirements, and the potential merits and drawbacks associated with incorporating protein shakes into one's dietary regimen.

Significance of Protein:

Protein, a vital macronutrient, plays a pivotal role in body recovery and maintenance. It serves as a foundational element for enzymes, hormones, and structural proteins, each fulfilling distinct physiological roles. Structural proteins within muscles, bones, and skin can suffer damage during physical activities, necessitating repair to prevent muscle weakness and injuries. Furthermore, protein bolsters the immune system, aiding in the defense against infections and illnesses. This underscores the importance of protein consumption, particularly during recovery phases, for overall health and immunity.

Variety of Amino Acids:

It is essential to recognize the diversity among protein types. Proteins consist of amino acids, each with distinct functions within the body. Among the 20 amino acids, nine are essential and must be sourced from one's diet due to the body's inability to synthesize them. Protein sources exhibit varying amino acid profiles, impacting their nutritional value. While animal-based proteins offer complete amino acid profiles, plant-based sources may lack some essentials. To ensure comprehensive amino acid intake, a diverse range of protein sources is advisable.

Protein Absorption:

Protein bioavailability, signifying the portion of ingested protein that the body absorbs and uses, varies depending on protein sources. Animal-derived proteins like beef, fish, and whey enjoy high bioavailability due to their complete amino acid content. Conversely, plant-based proteins like soy have lower bioavailability. Factors such as protein type, accompanying nutrients, and cooking methods influence absorption rates.

Recommended Intake:

Daily protein needs fluctuate based on factors like age, gender, activity levels, and muscle mass. Individuals engaged in intense physical activities, such as athletes and fitness enthusiasts, might require higher protein intake to facilitate muscle development. Generally, a daily protein consumption ranging from 0.6 to 1 gram per pound of body weight is advised. For active individuals, aiming for approximately 1 gram per pound serves as an appropriate target.

Benefits of Protein Supplements:

While animal-derived proteins offer optimal benefits due to their superior bioavailability and complete amino acid profiles, protein supplements present a viable option. These supplements, including powders, bars, and shakes, concentrate protein extracted from sources like milk, eggs, or soy. They provide a practical means to augment protein intake, especially for those pursuing muscle gain, weight loss, or post-exercise recovery. Nevertheless, whole food sources like poultry, fish, and legumes remain valuable alternatives.

Quality and Considerations:

Incorporating quality whey protein supplements can safely enhance protein intake without adverse effects. However, selecting reputable brands and examining ingredient lists is crucial. Notably, whey protein, a common supplement ingredient, has not demonstrated significant adverse effects when consumed within recommended limits. While protein shakes offer benefits, they should not replace the nutritional value of whole foods.

In Conclusion:

To conclude, protein shakes offer a convenient and effective approach to supplementing protein intake. It's important to understand that protein supplements share similarities with protein from whole foods, though regulations and quality standards may vary. Opting for trusted brands and adhering to recommended dosages is essential. Ultimately, protein shakes can be a valuable addition to a balanced diet, but they should complement, rather than substitute for, a comprehensive nutritional plan.

The long awaited harvest season has finally arrived, and with it some beautiful regionally grown heritage wheat varieties that we have eagerly been awaiting the last few months. These golden, buttery Khorasan grains have been slowly sprouting over the last few days and are gently drying to be milled into fresh flour tomorrow morning. All my grains are sprouted first, to wake up the sleeping enzymes, reduce phytic acid and make the nourishment they carry within bioavailable for easy absorption by our digestive systems. The incredible chemical changes that occur during the long fermentation process allow our bodies to digest this type of living flour very differently than conventional flour (using enzymes like those used for digesting vegetables as opposed to starches) and lowering the gluten levels significantly in the end result, all of which makes sprouted sourdough that has been long fermented not only full of minerals and other nutrients that we can easily absorb, but allows us to nourish our microbiome and enables the ease of digesting sprouted sourdough bread that has been properly prepared.

Tinctures are super easy to make and highly effective. Choose your preferred strain, gather the right equipment, and you'll have a useful tincture ready in around a day!

Marijuana trimmings, or bud trimmings, are left over after a grower harvests a crop and manicures the buds. This method also works for shake and other material that is not as dense as marijuana bud. For instructions on decarboxylating bud, see this.

When preparing marijuana to be eaten, made into a tincture, or some other method of ingestion other than smoking or vaporizing, it must first be decarboxylated. This is done so the active components Of all the many different ways to consume cannabis, a tincture is definitely one of the easiest to make and administer. Tinctures are also flexible in that they can be made either strong or subtle according to the user’s preference. Tinctures are also very discreet and can be taken throughout the day and on-the-go by simply applying drops directly under the tongue or to beverages such as tea, coffee, and juices.

Users can choose to take tinctures either orally or sublingually. Oral administration will produce longer effects, yet will take a while to set in. The sublingual route has higher bioavailability, but the effect won’t last as long. Some cannabis users also prefer tinctures due to their full-spectrum nature.

Wild Meadow Flour ❤️My current obsession is creating custom wildflower blends of freshly sprouted and milled local grains and botanicals. 😍 Using whatever is growing in the meadows and fields in the wild along with locally grown heritage grains that are sprouted creates the most heavenly scented wildflower blends. Today’s sourdough bread is a delicate blend of sprouted Khorasan and Einkorn grains freshly milled with wild roses, stinging nettle and Linden blossoms from the giant old Linden tree in our garden, as well as toasted Buckwheat groats. The scent as it comes out of the flour mill is divine.. warm, nutty, soft and floral, reminiscent of hiking in an Alpine meadow surrounded by wildflowers. I am working on an upcoming announcement of making botanical flour blends available for sourdough bakers.. still thoughts in progress 🌾🌼🌸🌲 Swipe over to see a video of the fresh botanical flour coming out of the mill #botanicals #sourdough #sprouting #flour #sproutedflour #bioavailable #wildroses #nourishing #terroir #earth #sourdoughbread #nutrition #nourishingtraditions #stingingnettle #urticadioica #lindenflowers #gratitude #meadow #eatyourmedicine #foraging #wildfood #wildharvest #plantmedicine #wildforaged #khorasan #heirloomgrains #sproutedgrains #sourdoughclub

Turmeric Ginger Lemonade to Relieve Joint Pain, Reduce Blood Pressure, Boost Heart Health and Immune System

Turmeric and ginger are both highly beneficial and versatile foods that have potent anti-inflammatory properties.

Inflammation plays an important role in the immune system, but chronic inflammation can lead to numerous diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, cancer, and depression. Therefore, turmeric and ginger can be of great help in their treatment and prevention.

​The main compound of turmeric is curcumin, which has powerful anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, and treats joint inflammation, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic digestive problems, abdominal pain, improves liver health, and relieves gas.

However, it is poorly absorbed in the body, so you should use black pepper to boost its bioavailability by 2000%. It has an impressive nutritional profile, and according to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Nutrient Database, a tablespoon (tbsp) of turmeric powder provides:

29 calories

0.91 grams (g) of protein

0.31 g of fat

6.31 g of carbohydrates

2.1 g of fiber

0.3 g of sugar

Moreover, that same 1-tbsp serving provides:

26 percent of daily manganese needs

16 percent of daily iron

5 percent of daily potassium

3 percent of daily vitamin C

On the other hand, ginger belongs to the same family as turmeric, Zingiberaceae family, and is rich in powerful anti-inflammatories known as gingerols. Ginger relieves pain, treats inflammation, and is helpful in the treatment of arthritis pain, rheumatism, osteoarthritis, nausea, stomach cramping, and heart issues. Ginger is a rich source of multiple vitamins and minerals, and a serving of 100 grams (g) of fresh ginger root contains:

79 calories

17.86 g of carbohydrate

3.6 g of dietary fiber

3.57 g of protein

0 g of sugar

14 mg of sodium

1.15 g of iron

7.7 mg of vitamin C

33 mg of potassium

Ginger is also high in magnesium, phosphorus, vitamin B6, folate, niacin, riboflavin, and zinc.

The combination of these two potent ingredients in the form of tea is an incredibly beneficial natural remedy that improves health in numerous ways:

Tomatoes – what makes them so special? Firstly, a tomato is a plant compound known as lycopene, which is part of carotenoid family. It is a prevailing antioxidant, which helps prevent damage to cells.

The lycopene in tomatoes is more bioavailable if you eat it with a bit of fat – cook it in a bit of olive or coconut oil and serve it with a dressing, rather than just raw. So adding tomato soup, passata, purees, sauces and tomato juice to your meals are all good ideas to add this item to your meals.

Health benefits of tomatoes

Lycopene offers the following health benefits:

Cancer: predominantly distinguished for a decrease in the risk of prostate cancer in men, and conceivably breast, lung and other cancers too

Cardiovascular disease: increased lycopene levels are connected to a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease.

How you can add more tomatoes to your diet:

Red & green eggs: Sauté some sliced tomatoes in a small amount of olive oil or coconut oil, then you add eggs to scramble in the pan.

Avocado on toast: add some chopped tomatoes your avocado toast.

Tomato soup: you have a few options here, and can even freeze it and get it ready for work in the morning. Just make sure to make or buy a tomato soup that does not have a lot of sugar,

Slow roasted tomatoes: this is a good way to group cook a bunch of tomatoes. You can freeze or store the tomatoes in oil for later use and is a great addition to any salad.
