How can help you nuts for a healthy boost ?

• Nuts such as walnuts, cashew nuts, almonds and peanuts are helpful to lower heart/cardiovascular disease risk, according to the researchers of Harvard Medical School and Harvard School of Public Health, Boston.
• I recommend nuts generally to highly carbohydrate foods. Then the most nuts are low glycemic (no sweet chestnut) and can reduce high level in sugar and other carbohydrates in your daily nutrition.
• Nuts f.e. hazelnut, almond sweet or brazil nut contain a good portion of magnesium. This mineral protects cells from aluminium, mercury, lead and cadmium. Magnesium protects the brain from toxic effects of chemicals. Magnesium is an important activator of many enzymes requiring ATP, the main energy releasing agent of the body. Energy is essential for all functions such as heart, central and peripheral nervous system in ones life.
• Nuts such as hazelnuts, almonds sweet are rich of arginine. This amino acid is helpful in acute stress phases and stimulates the immune system to increase the output of T-lymphocytes (T-cells) from thymus gland. Peanuts contains the highest level of arginine. It also may play a important role in preventing heart disease.
• Peanuts are a good source of coenzyme Q10 and contains resveratrol.
• Sweet chestnuts (Marrons) are high in natural sugar and starch. Marrons are gluten free and have minerals and some vitamins.
• Nuts have vitamin E. This acts as a powerful antioxidant of neutralizing free radicals. It also has vitamin E which enhances glutathione levels and it is important for better magnesium and zinc levels in the body.
• Nuts have good fat for brain function, increase learning ability, cholesterol regulation.

Cashew & Walnuts and Healthy Benefits

The botanical name from cashew is known as Anacardium occidentale and it is a bean shaped nut. In the traditional healing from Indian medicine, cashew nuts are known as a help for hyperacidity, gastritic and peptic ulcers.
Cashew nuts, like all nuts, are an excellent source of protein. Cashew nuts are good source of potassium, B vitamins f.e. B1, B2, niacin. They contain useful amounts of magnesium (267 mg/100 g), phosphorous (373 mg), selenium, copper, zinc (2.09 mg) and iron (2.80 mg).
The walnut is good for our nutrition. Cashew nuts lowers bad (LDL) cholesterol and increases the good (HDL) cholesterol. These nuts increases the general elasticity of arteries and lowers the level of C-reactive protein. This is a marker of inflammation associated with arteriosclerosis and heart disease. Walnuts have potassium, magnesium, calcium, manganese, iron, some B-vitamins, vitamin E and more zinc as copper.
Walnuts are a good source of the powerful antioxidant called, glutathione.
Glutathione is a great detoxification substance for the liver and it is build-up from amino acids glutamic acid, cysteine and glycine.
In the body, glutathione is found in the lungs, liver and intestinal tract. Glutathione protects cells from toxins, heavy metals, pollutants and pesticides. The walnut is good for people with a high copper level in blood/serum (hypercupriemia).
Patients with viral diseases from type herpes such as Epstein-Barr-Virus, Mononucleosis, Shingles can benefit of a diet high in lysine and low in arginine. Nuts contain a lot of arginine.

Why do I like cooking with Sunflower Seed Butter ?

Sunflower seed butter is ideal for salted and spicy or sweet salads, gratin/baked dish or as sandwich or dip base. Sunflower seed butter contains minerals such as magnesium, potassium, iron, vitamin B1, E and linoleic acid. This fat acid is important for functions of metabolic such as brain, skin, membranes and healthy communication between cells.
Precaution: If you have cancer please avoid sunflower seed butter because this can increase the risk of building metastasis.

Unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.

John 12:24

Deep inside a seed, is a hidden blueprint, a genetic package sleeping, waiting to awaken. As a water is introduced, enzyme inhibitors are disabled and the seed explodes to life. Germination unfolds, and enzymes trigger elaborate biochemical changes. Proteins break into amino acids. Water soluble vitamins such as B complex and Vitamin C are created. Fats and carbohydrates are converted into simple sugars. Then the seed expends all its energy to break through the soil. Weight increases as the seed absorbs water and minerals. Finally life bursts forth from the earth, thirsting for sunlight, taking its new place in God’s tapestry of Creation.

Through the miracle of germination, thiamin increases five-fold and niacin content doubles. Vitamin C, E and carotene increases. In fact, the Vitamin C accompanied by an intense enzymatic hydrolysis of protein. Stored proteins are broken down into component amino acids. Because the protein is predigested, sprouts are more easily assimilated and less gas-forming than dried beans. Digestibility is vastly improved.

In 1940, the United States Army sponsored a full investigation on sprouted seeds, studying their usability as food during the war. During World War I, the British Army sprouted beans to ward off scurvy in the trenches. When building the trenches, they calculated the sprouting area needed to feed a battalion.

There is nothing like fresh bean sprouts in a salad. Sprouts can be cooked quickly with a day of soya sauce and a dash of flax oil to make a delicious meal. Sprouts make a pleasant addition to soup as long as they are added a few minutes before turning off the heat. Just about any seed or bean can be sprouted for eating, and is great fun for the kids.

Make sure when you use seeds or beans for sprouting they are good-quality. Health food stores will have an abundance of beans and seeds for sprouting. If you find a problem in sprouting your beans and seeds, they are probably too old. Some beans are available in stores that have been treated with inhibitors to stop the sprouting process. Do not use seeds that are packaged for gardens because they may be treated.

Better a meal of vegetables where there is love than a fattened calf with hatred.

-Proverbs 15:17

What is the value of cooked vegetables? First of all, there can be a great pleasure in sitting down to a hot bowl of soup or a bowl full of steaming hot carrots, potatoes and corn on the cob. Secondly, cooked vegetables are an excellent source of soft bulk. The enzymes are dead, the minerals and vitamins have been compromised through cooking, but vegetables are filled with fiber and, when cooked, they become soft, making them excellent in absorbing but reducing the scouring effect that raw vegetables would have.

Eating some cooked vegetables with a mostly raw diet will ensure a clean colon. The challenge in cooking vegetables is not to baptize them in toxic fat. Remember to chew the vegetables well because 50% of starch digestion takes place in the mouth.

STEAMING VEGETABLES

A steamer with a built-in timer is the best way to cook vegetables. Most people when boiling their vegetables, throw away the best part – the cooking water. Steaming vegetables conserves the maximum amount of nutrients by subjecting the vegetables to the least amount of heat. Cut your vegetables into small pieces for quicker steaming.

Evey molecule demands intense concentration, and there are a lots of them, from one corner of the universe to the other. God holds them altogether by his continual creative power. He knows the number of hairs on the head of every man, woman and child. A record that needs to be continually updated. Angels must be attended to and given instructions. Black holes must be nourished and the temperature of the stars, regulated. The paths of trillions of meteorites must be individually plotted out, and you pray to Jesus to heal your sore toe as if you are the only concern He has in the entire universe!

Universes fly apart. Planets smash into each other. Suns turn to super novas, as God turns all attention, compassion and focus on your sore toe. And best of all, He does not make you feel as if you have inconvenienced Him. In fact, He delights when you come to Him with every little problem, always making you feel like the center of His universe. The sweet memories if the warm caress of His breath upon your brow, carrying you off into peaceful sleep.

God loves to heal. He is in the healing business. His Son healed everything He touched, everywhere he went. Jesus even healed when he was not aware of it! A woman reaching out and touching His garment, years of and suffering dissipated by the force of Jesus’ unconscious healing power.

Our bodies were not created to be sick and diseased; they were created to be filled with vibrant health, clarity of mind, and emotional stability. This can be evidenced in the living food He has specially designed for us to eat. Enzymes, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, bioflavinoids, and thousands of other unpronounceable names hidden under the skin of fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and grains.

If you cut open a cantaloupe and hold it against your ear, you will hear the creative echo of God’s love and smell the sweet aroma of His enthusiastic compassion for the health and well-being of your body.

Are you sick? Then reach out to God by faith. Reach out through prayer, believing with all your heart that He loves you and will lead you beside green pastures and still waters. By faith, be willing to make changes in how you eat.

Changing your diet, for some, is the largest step of faith they will make in their entire life. When we are sick, often food can be an escape from pain. But dear friend, run into His loving embrace. Allow Him to nourish you spiritually and physically.

Sickness and disease are a symptoms of a world whose god is their stomach. A world that runs after the craving of the flesh, ignoring the cost to their health. But you are not of this world – you Shepherd will prepare a table in the presence of your enemy, whether that enemy be cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure or whatever it may be. By faith, do your best, and God will do the rest.
