DID YOU KNOW???????
"SCIENTISTS HAVE IDENTIFIED APPROXIMATELY 150 PHYTONUTRIENTS IN ONIONS, AND THUS FAR THEY HAVE DETERMINED THE HEALING QUALITIES OF ONLY A FEW. THESE PHYONUTRIENTS JOIN A HOST OF OTHER NUTRIENTS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO THE ONION'S OVERALL HEALTHFUL STATUS. ALTHOUGH ALL ONIONS ARE HEALTHFUL, THE GENERAL RULE FOR THE MORE THAN THREE HUNDRED VARIETIES IS THIS: THE MORE PUNGENT THE ONION, THE MORE POTENT ITS NUTRITIONAL VALUE.
QUERCETIN, A PHYTONUTRIENT FOUND IN ABUNDANCE IN ONIONS, IS AN ANTIOXIDANT THAT HELPS DESTROY FREE RADICALS, PROTECTS AND REGENERATES VITAMIN E, AND HELPS KEEP LDL LEVELS DOWN.
A REDUCTION IN THE RISK OF COLON CANCER HAS ALSO BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH QUERCITIN.
HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE AND HIGH CHOLESTEROL MAY BE REDUCED IF YOU REGULARLY INCLUDE ONIONS IN YOUR DIET. EXPERTS SAY THE SULFUR COMPOUNDS, CHROMIUM, AND VITAMIN B-6 IN ONIONS ARE LIKELY THE REASON FOR THIS BENEFIT.
STUDIES SHOW THAT PEOPLE THAT ATE THE MOST ONIONS HAD SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED RISK FOR DIFFERENT TYPES OF CANCER COMPARED WITH PEOPLE WHO ATE THE LEAST ONIONS. THE REDUCED CANCER RISKS WERE 88% FOR ESOPHAGEAL, 84% FOR ORAL CAVITY AND PHARYNGEAL, 73% FOR OVARIAN, 71% FOR PROSTATE , 56% FOR COLORECTAL, AND 25% FOR BREAST CANCER.
THE ANTI-FLAMMATORY COMPOMENTS IN ONIONS, ESPECIALLY QUERCITIN AND ISOTHIOCYANATES, BENEFIT PEOPLE WHO HAVE INFLAMMATORY CONDITIONS SUCH AS ARTHRITIS, ASTHMA, BRONCHITIS, BURSITIS, FIBROMYALGIA AND SHINGLES."

"ONE THING YOU LEARN THE HARD WAY, IS THAT THERE IS NO EASY WAY.

A GOOD TEMPER IS THE CHIEF INGREDIENT OF HAPPINESS.

GOSSIP IS JUST ABOUT AS HARD TO STOP SPREADING AS HOT BUTTER.

WE MAY LIVE WITHOUT FRIENDS.....WE MAY LIVE WITHOUT BOOKS......BUT CIVILIZED MEN CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT COOKS."

WHAT IS FOREST BATHING?
"IF STEPPING INTO A WOODED AREA MAKES YOU FEEL AT HOME, BIOLOGICALLY SPEAKING THAT IS BECAUSE YOU ARE.
YOSHIFUMI MIYAZAKI, A LEADING RESEARCHER OF FOREST THERAPY IN JAPAN, ARGUES THAT THE HUMAN BODY IS DESIGNED TO ADAPT TO NATURE. AFTER ALL, IT WAS NOT UNTIL 200 YEARS AGO THAT HUMANS BEGAN MIGRATING TO CITIES EN MASS. NATURE IS RESTOATIVE, SAYS JIAYING ZHAO, CANADA RESEARCH CHAIR IN BEHAVIOURAL SUSTAINABILITY, THOUGH SHE ADDS THAT EXPERTS ARE UNSURE WHAT IT IS EXACTLY ABOUT THE FOREST THAT WE RESOND TO.
THERE ARE THEORIES THAT IT COULD BE THE OXYGEN AND CLEAN AIR, THE COLOR GREEN OR THE VISUAL PATTERNS IN NATURE, WHICH ARE LESS SHARP THAN THOSE OF CITIES.
