From high blood pressure to fatigue, and everything in between, you can have a kitchen full of home remedies for you and your family.
Before going to the drug store for that quick fix, you may be able to find just the thing to settle your upset stomach at home. Mint to the rescue. Peppermint contains menthol, which is a substance that helps to prevent spasms in your digestive tract. Therefore, it lessens cramps. It is good for the digestion and will also enhance your exercise performance. And if that is not enough, it has a powerful anti-cancer agent in it called limonene.
Did you know that potatoes battle high blood pressure? If you peel one, drop it into your soup then discard it, it will have collected and absorbed some of the sodium. And if you work out heavily, you can follow your workout with a high-carb food, such as a potato. They digest better and faster than other carbohydrates, getting you reenergized for your workout tomorrow.
Olive oil can prevent heart disease, and it also is quick fix for dry, brittle nails. And a quick fix for garlic breath is parsley. It will make your mouth kissing sweet. Papaya can cure your hiccups, and a heart smart snack is nuts.
Blueberries can help a urinary tract infection, and well as a stomachache. Basil can be a quick fix for a hangover. For itchy yeast infections, apricots are also cancer fighters. And for diarrhea, the insoluble fiber of an apple will get your bowels in good working order.
An energy lifter may be pasta. And it is not necessarily fattening, if you serve it with vegetables and perhaps chicken or fish, instead of meatballs. If it is flavored with red bell pepper or tomatoes, you will also have the benefit of Vitamin A and C. And it is a mood enhancer, as well as being a quick fix for PMS. And nothing beats tomatoes when it comes to a good antioxidant.
Peaches may help your sinusitis. And peanut butter will crush your bad cholesterol. You can get tropical relief from calluses with pineapples. And prunes are great for the blues. And for that cold that just will not go away, try a serving of shellfish a day to increase the zinc in your diet. It just might be the thing to get rid of those nasty sniffles. The zinc is also good for viruses, the flu, and may improve your night vision.
It probably sounds too good to be true, but if you have these items in your household on a regular basis, you could stay healthier.
Chemicals from the drug store do relieve the symptoms of a deeper problem fast. But they only treat the symptoms, and it is only on a temporary basis. If you want the symptoms to disappear entirely, you need to pump up your system with good, nutritious, all natural foods that will keep your body in check and provide a strong immune system with your home remedies.
