Your thyroid is a set of multiple glands that work to keep your body running smoothly. They deliver messages (hormones) between themselves and other body parts so that all of those tiny cells are regulated and functioning at the proper levels. The hormones produced by the thyroid (T3 and T4) are essential for life and have many effects on metabolism, growth and development.

Thyroid health is important, because if your thyroid isn't functioning properly it can lead to developmental defects or weight gain. Food is our medicine, so consuming the proper foods will help support your thyroid to ensure it remains in tip top shape. Carrots contain ample amounts of beta-carotene which is the precursor for vitamin A in the body. If you are low on vitamin A, your ability to produce thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) is limited. This vitamin is required by the body to convert T4 to T3.

B-complex vitamins are required for good thyroid function. Cucumbers contain B vitamins, so they are a good choice when trying to nourish the thyroid glands. Without B vitamins the thyroid and adrenal glands fail to secrete their hormones, and won't be able to utilize its iodine raw material efficiently to make hormones. B vitamins are especially useful in individuals with an overactive thyroid.

- 1 cucumber

Know if you have gluten intolerance

All to often is gluten intolerance misdiagnosed.  Symptoms are mistaken for a different condition while the patient continues down the path that led to health problems in the first place.  Although some people are highly allergic to gluten and cannot have any in their diet at all, there are also varying degrees of sensitivity and many don't know that gluten is a problem for their health.  Aside from the fact that gluten can cause a great deal of inflammation, it also blocks the body from absorbing nutrients and has been also linked to excessive weight gain also known as "wheat belly."  There are several food and even non food products that contain gluten but it is worth the effort to eliminate it from your diet as much as possible.  There is a growing number of gluten free products and many gluten free breads taste even better than regular wheat or bleached flour breads.  Pastas, pancake mixes, and cereals are sold in major supermarkets that are gluten free and can soften the blow of removing wheat and other gluten containing foodstuff from your meal plan permanently.  Take action now!  Here are some symptoms of gluten intolerance.



-Dizziness and feeling off balance

-Gas and bloating 

-Feeling run down after eating a meal containing gluten

-Depression and anxiety

-Migraines

-Diagnosis of several different types of autoimmune disorders

-Hormone imbalances or infertility

-ADD

-Constipation

-Diagnosis of chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia

Soda and weight gain

Soft drinks are hard on your health.

Regular consumption of sodas leads to cavities, weight gain, diabetes, heart disease, osteoporosis, and scores of other health conditions.  Instead of juice or water, most children in some more developed countries are turning to soft drinks.when they are thirsty.  The excessive amounts of phosphorus in most soft drinks causes bone problems especially to women who are prone to osteoporosis.  Diet sodas are often just as bad or worst, often containing aspartame, an artificial sweetener that is linked to several types of cancer and is even believed to cause weight gain and increase the chances of developing diabetes.  Even the caramel color is now being found to have carcinogenic properties.  Next time you are thirsty, try brewing some green tea and add a touch of raw honey, or a glass of carrot juice with a shot of fresh squeezed orange and lemon juice mixed in for a toxin busting citris punch.  The health choices we make now determine if we can prevent heart disease, diabetes, and bone problems.  Remember that nutrition is nature's health insurance.

Rumble in the jungle: Cocoa vs Cacao!

No, they are not the same thing!

What do you know about the nutritional and healing qualities of raw cacao?

Chocolate has been promoted by health experts for years as having health benefits.  Studies conducted on people who consume chocolate vs. those who do not showed a much lower instance of illness for those who consumed chocolate regularly.  In fact, a Dutch study indicated that the more chocolate eaten, the better for health.  Now, consider the fact that when you process chocolate, you destroy much of the nutritional value that was originally within the unprocessed beans.  Heating chocolate causes the omega 6 fatty acids present to go rancid and cause inflammation.  If you eat raw unheated cacao, there are a scope of advantages over eating a processed chocolate bar.  Bad associations with chocolate are due to health problems which are usually caused by other ingredients that are added to chocolate candy.  Sugar, milk, and other fillers cause cavities and weigh gain.  Raw cacao also has loads more antioxidant power than processed chocolate and helps regulate blood sugar which is a big plus for people who have diabetes.  Dark chocolate antioxidants have been shown to even dissolve the plaque that is deposited on the inside of blood vessels which reverses heart disease and also lowers blood pressure.
