The Present Palate

The selection, preparation, presentation, appreciation and digestion of our food can improve the mental and emotional vibes that drive our goals, dreams, ideas and plans as we consciously build ourselves on all levels.

Like Pulling Eye Teeth

Teeth, gum and mouth care can impact bones, joints, organs, glands and tissue.  Studies also suggest that oral bacteria might play a role in some diseases and lowers the body’s resistance to infection.  So get that flossing, brushing and those check-ups in.  It may be one key to your total good health.

Eat Your Weeds: Dandelion

I just love dandelions. Most of my neighbors want to remove them from their lawn but they are strong and hardy plants that are on this earth to feed your mind, body and soul. Did you know that you can eat the leaves, flowers and roots. Use the leaves in a salad or cooked with other leafy greens such as collards, kale and cabbage. The roots are used as a tea or coffee replacement. The flowers in salads, tea or pan fry. This plant can heal your liver the major cleansing organ of your body - so eat some weeds.

 

It's All In Your Head

Challenge yourself to learn and teach new things.  Reading, writing, games and other brain stimulating activities can preserve memory, regardless of age.  Cognitive activity across the life span has an association with slower late-life cognitive decline.

Help Yourself

Tobacco, Alcohol, Sugar and Caffeine addictions have been shown to be helped by a combination of nutritional yeast, alfalfa, evening primrose, bee pollen, green food, multi-vitamins, herbs and minerals.
