Very helpful information regarding foods to improve and maintain good health, inspired by Nancy’s passion!

Fundamental!

An acid body is a magnet for sickness, disease, cancer and aging. Eating more alkaline foods helps shift your body’s pH and oxygenate your system. Alkaline foods keep your body healthy and functioning correctly, preventing cancer. Read more here: Acid and Alkaline Food. The difference between happiness and health, or sickness, depression and medical bills.

Apple Cider Vinegar

Nancy agrees with Dr. Axe: “Organic, raw apple cider vinegar is one of my top natural health remedies that I use every day — along with coconut oil. I recommend it to my patients and take it personally for several reasons, including detoxification, helping my body more easily digest foods and for a quick burst of energy. Although it is acidic it leaves an alkaline ash in the body, so promoting good health. An acid body leads to disease and illnesses of all kinds.” Read more here: Unique Apple Cider Vinegar Uses and Benefits

Nourishing fats for health!

In recent generations, lard has seemed to completely disappear from home kitchens. Until the early 1900’s, lard was a staple cooking fat across the globe. It was the secret to perfectly flaky pie pastry, crispy fried chicken, melt-in-your-mouth biscuits and luscious gravy. Now, when people hear the term lard, they immediately conjure up a vision of clogged arteries. It’s time to set the record straight – lard is a healthy cooking fat and deserves to make a comeback in kitchens everywhere. Nancy has researched this and extracted some thoughts on this here: Lard is healthy!
