Blueberries are just one example of the many foods out there containing flavonoids. Other flavonoid rich foods include grapes, cherries, blueberries, plums and other colored fruits. They are also found in onions, kale, broccoli, greens, citrus fruits, tea and apples. There is growing evidence that these foods protect us from cancer, from the effects of aging, including the onset of Alzheimers. These amazing substances can improve the immune system, reduce cholesterol, and may help to heal or improve conditions like diabetes, macular degeneration, hypertension, strokes and much more. Join us as we speak with Dr. Nita Bishop, naturopathic physician who has studied and researched flavonoids extensively. Dr. Bishop strongly believes that food is our medicine. She has spent time in the Amazon rainforest and promotes education and research of other superfoods like maca as well as a musculoskeletal pain reliever called copaiba oil.

Stomach Acid Saver

Is your stomach acid too low? Do you get reflux? You probably have an issue with stomach acid that is too low, not too high. Does food sit in your stomach after a meal? Do you have a tendency toward constipation? Do your nails have ridges in them? Do you find that you are often tired? I have found that low stomach acid is very common in for people who consume a standard american diet and/or are under moderate to high levels of stress. Here is a simple drink to improve stomach acid:

Apple Cider Vinegar - 2 tsp.
Raw Honey - 2 tsp.
Water - 6-8 ounces

IMPORTANT! THE ONLY APPLE CIDER THAT I RECOMMEND IS BRAGG'S! BRAGG'S IS A RAW APPLE CIDER, SO IT STILL HAS ENZYMES. IT IS CLOUDY IN CONSISTENCY, WHICH IS A POSITIVE THING. DO NOT USED APPLE CIDER THAT HAS BEEN HEATED TO HIGH TEMPERATURES.

Apple Cider Vinegar appears to "prime the pump" that produces stomach acid. My experience has been that patients have improved their digestion in a very short time. Some have even found that they crave the apple cider vinegar after taking it for a few daya.

Drink this 10-15 minutes before each meal. Make larger batches if you wish, but only store them in glass, never in plastic.

Green Juice that knocks your socks off!

3 organic medium-sized apples - chopped
(ALWAYS USE ORGANIC APPLES
AS STUDIES SHOW THE CONVENTIONAL
ARE LOADED WITH THE MOST HARMFUL
PESTICIDES!)
1 cucumber - chopped
5 stalks celery - chopped
6 leaves kale - chopped
1/2 lemon - juiced
Optional: Handful of sprouts

This juice will be mixed in the vitamix FIRST. This process allows all cell wall of each plant to be carefully broken down, which releases all of the precious nutrients that are typically locked into the cellulose wall.

Then, use a nut milk bag or a cheese cloth and strain the juice in order to separate it from the pulp. Now, add about 4 cups of purified or even distilled water to this juice.

You can compare this type of juicing to the use of a Jack La Lanne or even a Champion. I think you will find this to be a more energizing and potent juice.

ENJOY!
