It has been reported that a guy suffering from constipation for more than a decade and acid reflux had his problems taken care of with nothing more than including ladies fingers (okra) in his diet.
All he did was consume six ladies fingers in a day. Not only had his bowel movement improved, his blood sugar level reduced from 135 to 98, his cholesterol level and acid reflux well under control.
Are you eating your orange correctly?
How do you eat your orange? Peel them, leaving the white pith intact or peel it really clean; skin and pith all out or you just quarter them and take it from there? Or juice it?
According to research, the white pith is an important source of fiber and flavonoids and the juicy orange segments contain vitamin C. So what happens when we discard the white pith and consume only the orange segments? Flavonoids in the orange are lost. Flavonoids and vitamin C work hand in hand to support our health through its interaction.
With the weather change it is getting warmer and more humid and we tend to sweat more. The sweat is out so easily and soon we find ourselves soaked.
Armpit sweating is one way our body keeps itself from overheating. However, excessive sweating is more of a bane than a boon. We feel sweaty and smelly too. It can be embarrassing.

Gastritis or gastric pains is a terrible thing to suffer from. I know this from experience. It was by accident that I found myself cured.

Now Jakarta was not known for its great hygiene and the solution was to buy drinking water. In fact, I had a dispenser and had a store house of mineral water bottles.

Bragg Cider
Anyone who has a hypertension problem will agree that taking drugs to manage blood pressure is a daily chore. It is expenditure and unless you like visiting the doctor and pharmacist, it will be many trips to replenish your drug supply.
Natural health advocates have suggested drinking apple cider vinegar. I know an elderly friend who swears by the goodness of Bragg’s apple cider vinegar. She claims that it is good for arthritis, indigestion and back pain.
Another use is as a sleeping aid although I don’t see how. A glass of red wine maybe.
But no harm giving it a try. Monitor the results. It may be empirical but if you do have something to tell us, drop a line here.
