The pleasing thing about peas

pinakigoswami's picture

Like the princess and the pea, your body also notices the tiny green seeds. But in a good way. How? By getting stronger against strokes.
That's because peas are chockfull of folate, a mighty B vitamin known to lower blood levels of a stroke-promoting compound.

Mood For Meditation:

pinakigoswami's picture

a) Playing tracks with nature sounds helps increase calmness during the meditation process.

b) Rosary beads assist the body, and hence, the mind to stay on track by bringing in a sense of rhythm during meditation.

Hot ways to cook cauliflower...

pinakigoswami's picture

a) Cauliflowers are excellent steamed, either whole or in florets. Place in a steamer or colander over a pan of boiling water, cover and steam until just tender and immediately remove from heat.

b) You can fry the florets in olive oil just before serving plain or with a tomato and cheese sauce.

pinakigoswami's picture

Herbal teas are also called infusions. They are a simple and delicious way to extracting the goodness and flavour from the aerial parts of herbs. You can either use fresh or dried herbs to make such tea, but remember you need to use twice as much as fresh plant material as dried. If you fin the taste of some herb teas bitter, sweeten them with a little honey, or just add ginger. Here's more on how to make herbal tea....

Tired No More

pinakigoswami's picture

a) Identify the areas of stress in your life and work on them. Soothing music is a great stress buster. Try not to sweat over the small stuff.

b) Exercise regularly. Walk, swim, cycle or just take up a sport like tennis.

Bust that stress:

pinakigoswami's picture

Stress is evil and can only wreak havoc on our mind, body and spirit. One can learn to cope with the following survival kit:

a) First, find out what's causing the stress. A relationship issue, financial loss, failure, an accident or a change that's not necessarily negative, like shifting to a new house, a marriage or a long trip can be the source. Some common stressors are a violent parent or spouse, a bullying boss, being trapped in a bad marriage or job, excessive workload or responsibilities, a medical illness or chronic pain, or memories from a trauma, like sexual abuse.

Health benefits of alkaline foods:

pinakigoswami's picture

a) About 70-80 per cent of our total food intake should be alkaline.

b) The body's pH level controls and affects all its functions. With the pH dropping, the brain finds it difficult to absorb energy from the blood cells. A diet comprising over 80 per cent alkaline food helps the brain function better.

Recipe: Red Radish Salad

pinakigoswami's picture

Red radishes have almost no nutritive value. They contain no vitamin A, are very low in protein, and contain only a little vitamin C and potassium. However, they are good filler in salads. They can also pickled or used in stir fry veggies or soups. They also can be used to make a variety of food decorations on a buffet table!

Preventing Osteoporosis....

pinakigoswami's picture

1) A lack of the mineral magnesium, seems to add to the problem. Its found in meat, seafoods, green veggies and again, dairy products. Don't overdo the meat, though, as too much protein, also contributes by making the body excrete calcium.

Go on a detox diet

pinakigoswami's picture

a) Choose your detox method according to your schedule. Twice per month is a good measure to begin.

b) Start slowly with a foot detox if you have never done this before. Afterwards, you can try a detox drink. However, don't do the master cleanse until you are comfortable with this process.
