Eat Lots of Sweet Potatoes!

It is such a beautiful day today!  I got up around 7 with the boys and after a little bit of cartoon watching we got dressed and had breakfast.  I felt really good this morning because I slept better than I usually do.  Carson slept until 7 am, with no interruptions, and Dylan only woke up 2 or 3 times.  We played outside a little bit while I had my coffee, even though there was dew on the ground and I knew that they would get a little bit wet and dirty.  They are obsessed with playing outside these days.  Carson will stand by the door saying “Ball!  Outside!  Car!  Outside,” until you finally decide to take him out.  We went to yoga at 9:30 and then when we got home we took a walk with Lindsey and Logan.  We just had lunch and a bath, and hopefully the boys will take a nice long nap and get rested for the birthday party we're going to, which is at 4.

My mom sent the following in an email a few days ago and I think it is so cool!  I don’t know who wrote it, nor where it came from, but it’s pretty wise for something going around in an email.  I choose to believe that it is factually correct because it won’t hurt me to do so, but I did not research it.  Read it and see what you think…….

EAT LOTS OF SWEET POTATOES - QUITE INTERESTING INDEED!

 It's been said that God first separated the salt water from the fresh, made dry land, planted a garden, and made animals and fish... all before making a human. He made and provided what we'd need before we were born. These are best & more powerful when eaten raw.   We're such slow learners...


God left us a great clue as to what foods help what part of our body! 
God's Pharmacy!   Amazing! 

A  sliced Carrot looks like the human  eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye... And YES, science now shows carrots   greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the   eyes.  

A  Tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart has four chambers and is red. All of the research shows tomatoes are loaded with lycopine and are indeed pure heart and blood food. 

Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the research today shows grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food. 

A  Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums.  Even the wrinkles or folds on the nut are just like the neo-cortex. We now know walnuts help develop more than three (3) dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function. 

Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys. 

Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and many more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength.  Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don’t have enough sodium in your diet, the body pulls it from the bones, thus making them weak.  These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body. 

Avocadoes, Eggplant and Pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female - they look just like these organs. Today's research shows that when a woman eats one avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight, and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this?  It takes exactly nine (9) months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods (modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them).  

Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow.  Figs increase the mobility of male sperm and increase the numbers of Sperm as well to overcome male sterility. 

Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemic index of diabetics. 

Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries 

Oranges, Grapefruits, and other Citrus fruits look just like the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts. 

Onions look like the body's cells.  Today's research shows onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells. They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes. A working companion, Garlic, also helps eliminate waste materials and dangerous free radicals from the body. 

And finally, here's the Word of the Day.  Have a great weekend!
