Being on a strict diet often comes with little variety in foods and taste.

One way to spice things up is with this yummy Cilantro Pesto.

This recipe can be used as a Pesto, Sauce or Condiment.

What you will need:

A Blender or Food Processor with Pulse option

2 Cups Packed Organic Cilantro ( large stems removed )

1/2 Cup Organic blanched/roasted/unsalted Almonds

1/4 Cup Organic Red or White Onion

2 Teaspoons Organic Garlic chopped

1/2 Cup Organic Olive Oil

2 Pinches Sea Salt

Want it Spicy?

Just Add ONE of the three Peppers listed below:

1 Whole Organic Poblano Pepper seeded and chopped

1 Whole Organic Jalapeno Pepper seeded and chopped

1/2 Teaspoon Organic Serrano Pepper seeded and chopped

______________________________________

In a food processor or blender pulse the Cilantro, Almonds,

Onion, Garlic, Peppers & Salt then slowly add the Olive Oil.

(we used 1/4 Cup more Olive Oil for a smoother consistency)

Tracey uses this pesto as a spread on her veggie burritos as well

as occasionally on her veggie sandwiches.

Others use it as a sauce on pasta sprinkled with parmesan cheese.

Try it as a side with chips and salsa!

Peace & Love!

Green Tea makes cancer cells self-destruct!

People who drink about 4 cups of green tea per day seem to get less types of cancer.
Now we may know why…in recent test-tube studies a compound called EGCG ( a powerful antioxidant found in tea) inhibited an enzyme that cancer cells need in order to grow.
Without this enzyme the cancer cells couldn’t grow big enough to divide/multiply and self-destructed.
It would take about 4 cups of green tea a day to get the blood levels of EGCG that inhibited cancer in the study.

Black Teas contain EGCG but much lower concentrations.

Cheers!

Remember we are what we eat! Choose a healthy snack!!!!

Research has shown that people whose diets are rich in plant-based foods — fruits, vegetables and whole-grain breads and cereals — have a lower incidence of most cancers.

Easy Ways to Eat Better
Alas, 80 percent of us don’t consume anything close to five servings of fruits and veggies. How can you up your intake?

• Favor dishes incorporating as many plant-based ingredients as possible — such as stir-fries, soups, salads and rice salads.
• Snack on fruit.
• Keep crunchy raw vegetables on hand, such as carrot sticks, jicama and pepper strips.
• Add leafy greens such as spinach leaves and watercress to sandwiches.
• Consider nutrient-rich squashes as side dishes.
• Top cereal and salads with fruit, nuts, sesame seeds or pumpkin seeds.
• Empty a can of beans or tomatoes into your favorite casserole.
• When shopping, select items such as multi-grain bread, dried fruit salad or mixed frozen vegetables.

Keep your body healthy!

Breakfast No-Brainer! Ezekiel Cereal, Almond Milk and Organic Raisins

Organic Almond Milk by Blue Diamond Replaces: Natural Milk which contains Milk Sugar & Animal Proteins (which feed cancer), Soy Milk which is made from Soy Beans that have been genetically altered.

Organic Sprouted Whole Grain Cereal Replaces: Common cereals or breakfast foods that are laden with gluten. (gluten turns to sugar / sugar FEEDS cancer)

Safe Sugar (Xylitol Crystals) by NuNaturals

Tracey’s FAVORITE part of breakfast is her morning READ!

Why Cottage Cheese and Flax Seed Oil?

THE BUDWIG FLAX OIL DIET
The Flaxseed (Linseed) oil diet was originally proposed by Dr. Johanna Budwig, a german biochemist and expert on fats and oils, in 1951 and recently re-examined by Dr. Dan C. Roehm M.D. FACP (Oncologist and former cardiologist) in 1990. Dr. Roehm claims: “this diet is far and away the most successful anti-cancer diet in the world”.

Budwig claims that the diet is both a preventative and a curative. She says the absence of linol-acids [in the average western diet] is responsible for the production of oxydase, which induces cancer growth and is the cause of many other chronic disorders.
The beneficial oxydase ferments are destroyed by heating or boiling oils in foods, and by nitrates used for preserving meat, etc.

The theory is: the use of oxygen in the organism can be stimulated by protein compounds of sulphuric content, which make oils water-soluble and which is present in cheese, nuts, onion and leek vegetables such as leek, chive, onion and garlic, but especially cottage cheese.

Ferments of cell respiration closely connected with the highly unsaturated fatty acids, are also needed for proper oxydation. It is essential to use only unrefined, cold-pressed oils with high linolic acid content, such as linseed, sunflower, soya, poppyseed, walnut, and corn oils. Such oil should be consumed together with foods containing the right proteins otherwise the oils will have the OPPOSITE EFFECT, causing more harm than good.

The best combination is cottage cheese and linseed oil. The linseed should be freshly ground. Carbohydrates containing natural sugar, such as dates, figs, pears, apples and grapes, are also included in the diet. Honey is also beneficial. Most of the synthetic vitamin A preparations are bad because they contain oxidation products, but much carotine as provitamin A (from carrot) is consumed. Vitamin B from buttermilk, yoghurt, and natural yeast is beneficial.
A person requires daily about 4 oz. of cottage cheese mixed well with 1.5 oz. of linseed oil and 1 oz. of milk. A blender or egg beater works fine. The mixture an be sweeten with honey or otherwise flavoured naturally. Fresh fruits can be added. Every morning 2 spoonfuls of freshly ground linseed oil should be taken in luke warm buttermilk or yogurt.

The diet is indicated for all kinds of chronic diseases, especially heart ailments (corony thrombosis), gall disorders, diabetes, arthritis, and malignancies. It improves failing hearing and sight. It is the ideal nutrient for children and infants. It is suggested that this diet be supplemented with lactic acid ferments.
