I just wanted to share few of the food items that we keep stocked in the kitchen that we use for health, fitness and/or wellness reasons.
Green Tea - We almost always have Green Tea bags on hand. Green Tea can be used for a variety of reasons; weight loss, anti-oxidant, immune system booster, fights cardiovascular diseases, arthritis and most of all has been proven to eliminate cancer cells. So it looks like we are doing a good thing here.
If you are just drinking it for the first time it will have a very strong taste to it. Don't fret over time you will get used to it and it can be sweetened with honey. Currently we buy the plain Green Tea; decaffeinated.
Pure Honey - Honey has so many uses and benefits the list is too long to name them all. The main thing we use honey for is to sweeten things such as when we drink warm Green Tea. I also put it in my corn bread or when I bake certain pastries. I put it in my sons oatmeal as well instead of table sugar. It has been said that Honey aids in weight loss. We also know that it helps with a sore throat and congestion. Warm Geen Tea and Honey is great when one of us is ill; which is another time we use this great combination. It's used as an energy booster and recently I used Honey in conjunction with brown sugar for a face scrub. My skin was smooth and even had a bronze glow. *Thumbs Up*
Lemon Juice or Lemons - Pure lemons are better but we always at least keep lemon juice on hand. I almost always use it as an ingredient when baking fish. It is good for breaking up mucus from a cold and I periodically rub it on my skin to help prevent and get rid of blemishes. It can be very drying to the skin therefore I would advise using a facial or skin moisture after you use it on your skin. It can also burn if you have sensitive skin. Lemon is good for the break down of bacteria in your mouth which can cause bad breath. It also aids in fat burning and metabolic booster.
Of course these are not the only products in the food market that are good for health and wellness however these are the ones I can't live without and cover a large territory. They are all especially good for weight loss/reduction, your heart and keeping your immune system in superior standing which is the culprit of many things.
Soon I'll get into other items such as Vinegar, Olive Oil, Cinnamon and many more.
