A child's New Year crown for Rosa. In October of 2014 I wrote a blog post telling Rosa’s story. http://www.crystallinn.com/one-writers-journey---blog-by-crystal-linn/rosas-story. In that post, I asked for everyone’s opinion about giving Rosa her own Face Book page. We also ran a contest, but due to most of my team members needing to be away for the holiday, we are just now wrapping things up. Everyone on my team sends their apologies.
The winner of that contest is Vicki Marney. We also want to thank everyone for their input. Without exception everyone voted for Rosa to have her own Face book page. However…my team showed me – again – how I tend to take on too many projects. So we compromised. Instead of giving Rosa her own Face Book page, we will give her, and her friends, their own website and a good friend will maintain the site for us. Thanks again. You are appreciated.
Now…here are six foods for a healthier new year.
Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV): Contains healthy protein and friendly bacteria. ACV cleans out the lymph nodes and helps reduce allergy symptoms. In French, the word “vinegar” actually means “sour wine.”
Garlic: is an antioxidant that kills bacteria and helps build up the immune system. Some experts consider garlic to be the world’s healthiest food. Hippocrates used garlic for respiratory problems, parasites and poor digestion. The original Olympic athletes were given garlic. It has been said that chewing parsley, which is also healthy, will get rid of garlic breath.
Ginger: is loaded with vitamins and trace minerals. It helps build the immune systems and has many health benefits. Ginger helps reduce nausea and stimulates digestion. It is an antioxidant and an anti-inflammatory, and it is good for the heart. It has been said that ginger root can help prevent cancer.
Honey: is loaded with vitamins, minerals and amino acids. It is an antioxidant, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory. It is also an anti-fungal and can help improve digestion and reduce cough and throat irritation. Honey can be used as a preservative, as long as no bacteria are introduced into the foods involved.
Lemons: are high in vitamin and mineral content, especially potassium which is good for the heart. Lemons contain antioxidant and anti-inflammatory nutrients, and they help to enhance the immune system. A lemon tree produces new fruit year round and one tree can produce 500 – 600 pounds annually.
Turmeric: is loaded with healthy nutrients such as vitamins C, E and K, potassium, calcium, iron and zinc. It has been said the turmeric can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
I wish you happy and healthy eating during 2015.
