LIVING HEALTHY WITH NATURE

Putting healthy spice into our life......

These spices can take a dish from bland to delicious. But.... did you know, these  magical spices can also boost your life with some pretty magical healing compounds.  

Here are three pretty exciting and tasty spices that you can add to your HEALTHY LIVING regime.... RIGHT NOW!

CAYENNE

Cayenne powder comes from ground dried, red hot chilli peppers. The important ingredient in this spice is CAPSAICIN which is found in some prescriptions, and over counter arthritis and muscle pain creams.

Add a generous dash of cayenne to soups, stews, stir fries to ease cold and flu congestion as it shrinks swollen blood vessels.

It could even trim waistlines by speeding up metabolism.


TUMERIC

Tumeric is an Indian spice that has been used to treat maladies since quite ancient times.

CURCUMIN is the key ingredient here. It is a potent antioxidant which has the potential to treat tumour growths and suppress enzymes that can trigger abnormal cell changes. Studies have shown it as being useful for treating arthritis, ALzheimer's  and heart disease.

Use more tumeric in your diet by adding it to curries, stews, sipping tumeric tea and/ or taking a daily capsule.

The Low Down On Chia seeds

Healthy Living With Nature

Mother Nature is good at doing her stuff.

 

 Today I want to talk about CHIA SEEDS.

CHIA SEEDS -  are tiny and unassuming .

But CHIA is a pretty powerful SUPERFOOD

If we eat but a tablespoon full each day it 

gives us about 3 grams of OMEGA 3 fatty

acids,6 grams of FIBRE, and oodles of 

 essential VITAMINS,MINERALS and also

 ANTIOXIDANTS. And....CHIA are a great

 source of PLANT PROTEIN which contain 9

 essential AMINO ACIDS. All of those are very 

good reasons for including CHIA in our daily diet.

We know CHIA SEEDS are are good for us.

They are either black or white, but both are

 Nutritionally good. It's personal choice to which 

one we would like to consume. I've used either

 and mixed both colours together. 

They are:

vegetarian

Vegan

Raw Food

Gluten free

Organic

GMO Free

Chemical Free

And sustainably farmed.

CHIA SEEDS come from a glorious flowering plant,

 from the "mint" family called Salvia Hispanica.

The plant is native to Guatemala and Mexico and

this food was consumed by the Aztecs and ancient Mayans.

AUSTRALIA now grows the finest CHIA right here on our 

own local farms.The AUSTRALIAN CHIA Co.is Australian

 owned and operated and products are sold worldwide.

CHIA SEEDS have amazing BENEFITS. They make "healthy

living" a MUST!  They may help improve DIGESTION

 (fibre ) ,keep BOWELS regular lowering the risk of 

IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME and COLON CANCER.

They may regulate BLOOD SUGAR  ( ideal for type 2

DIABETES ) Promote FULLNESS - help WEIGHT LOSS.

Prevent FREE RADICAL damage - help guard against

  SICKNESS and DISEASE.

Taste? They have very little TASTE - and have great

 appeal for that reason. They add CRUNCH , a bit like

 poppy seeds.But if we don't like texture CHIA can be 

bought GROUND and as COLD PRESSED OIL.

CHIA SEEDS can be used in SALADS, SOUPS, STEWS,

 SMOOTHIES, CEREAL, JUICE. Sprinkle CHIA on peanut, Vegemite 

or jam toast. IT can be used to substitute eggs, as CHIA GEL, in

 pancakes and baked goods. Awesome news for VEGANS or egg 

allergy sufferers.

CHIA GEL to replace egg

MIX 1tablespoo CHIA SEEDS whole or ground with

3 tablespoons of water. Allow to stand for 15 minutes

or till mixture gels. Try it next time you make banana cake or pikelets.
