Lemons, fruitful gifts from above with the healing powers of vitamins, minerals, electrolytes and phytonutrients

Lemons, nutritional and beneficial for optimal health

As tart as lemon juice may be to the taste, it's health benefits are indefinitely sweet to the human body.  With a nutrient rich profile that's stacked with vitamins, minerals, electrolytes, flavonoids and phytochemicals, lemons are ultrahydrating foods that immunize, alkalize and purify (and even sterilize) the body, all of its cells and its support systems.  And, when it comes to consumption, it really doesn't get much faster or any easier than just slicing and squeezing the healing juices out of lemons for drinking as a beverage; topping as a dressing; marinating as a seasoning; calming as a sleeping aid (when combined with warm water and honey); cleansing as a disinfectant; and/or what-have-you.  Lemons are a heaven-sent food and their fruitful powers are rather limitless.

The healing benefits of paypaya for weight loss and digestive health

Coined by Christopher Columbus as the fruit of the angels, papaya is native to the tropic regions of the Americas and brings with it a limitless amount of healing potential for our digestive systems (as well as our skin, too).  With well over 500 (some of which are still yet to have been fully discovered) digestive enzymes, papaya is the ultimate fruit doctor for healing and supporting human digestion, providing relief from constipation and upset stomachs while also reducing any inflammation and alkalizing the insides of our intestinal tracts.  In addition, papaya can alleviate and even reverse symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Crohn's disease, colitis, ulcers, pancreatitis, liver disease and other ailments and diseases of the digestive system.  With regards to weight loss, the enzymes found within papayas play a key role in improving human digestion and promoting natural weight loss by flushing wastes and otherwise excess weight from the body in a routine and uniform manner.  If our body is not properly digesting the foods that we eat and/or is not removing the byproduct wastes on a daily basis, our body will in turn be bloated and full of food particles and waste dispersed throughout our digestive tract.  Improving our digestion and the digestibility of the foods that we eat will help us to shed excess weight and keep it off seamlessly and naturally.

Lunch, the all-time most important meal of the day for us

Lunch, the all-time most important meal of the day for us

Examining the science (and biological reasoning) behind our meal times and why lunch is the most crucial time of the day to eat

First things first, let's debunk the tales about breakfast

Contrary to what the food industry publishers are paid to report, breakfast is definitely not (and should not ever be considered) the most important meal of the day.  If you're anything like us, the majority of human beings, take a moment to think about a typical morning for yourself and your body.  What's the first thing you usually do when you wake up, use the restroom, right?  Point being (and we'll go in to further detail about breakfast in a future article about dietary nutrition), your body does not want to be burdened with digesting loads of foods during the waking, morning hours as it is instead focused on flushing wastes from your body to prepare you for the full day ahead.  So, don't believe the nonsense that the bacon and egg (and high-cholesterol drug) pushers are soliciting, breakfast is a horrible time of day for you to eat heavy.  Period.
