The Health Benefits of Apples 🍎🍏

Apples were introduced to Americans by the Pilgrims in  Massachusetts Bay Colony,  and today there are around 2,500 varieties of apple trees in the US—100 of which are commercially grown. Only the crabapple is native to the US. The popularity of the apple —whether it is Red Delicious, Gala, Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Golden Delicious—is clear: The USDA (The United States Department of Agriculture) estimates the average American eats around 26 pounds a year! That’s great news because apples contain amazing health benefits along with their intriguing flavors, from sweet to tangy and tart. Nutritional Profile of Apples The skin of an apple is super loaded with nutrients: A raw apple with skin delivers up to 332% more  vitamin K , 142% more  vitamin A , and 115% more  vitamin C  than a peeled apple.

What Is Colloidal Silver?

Since the days of antiquity, humans have been throwing coins into water sources such as a well or fountain. Why? Well, wish making hasn't always been the motivation. One theory is that the antibacterial properties of silver were known, and this was done to make water safer to drink. These days, there is growing evidence that silver may also have many other health benefits, especially in the colloidal form, a solution in which silver nanoparticles are suspended in water. Colloidal silver  has become increasingly popular over the last few decades, but the health benefits of silver have been utilized for a millennium. The first believed use of silver for medical purposes was almost over 2,000 years ago—Hippocrates is said to have used silver to heal skin ulcers and wounds. During the 4th century, it was used by the Egyptians, and in 980 AD,  Avicenna used silver to purify blood as well as treat heart palpitations and bad breath. In the 14 th  century,  Conrad von Megenb...

Ayurveda for Moving into Spring 🌺

     According to Ayurveda, one of the keys to maintaining health is to practice ritucharya—seasonal routines. Adjusting our daily self-care rituals to seasonal changes helps us maintain balance and reminds us that we are a part of the natural world. Spring is ruled by the kapha dosha , whose qualities are heavy, cool, soft, dense, stable, solid, and cloudy. To adjust for the season , consider the following practices: Wake with the sunrise . One of the best practices to minimize the heavy quality of kapha in the mind and body is to wake with the sun (around 5:30 am this time of year). Dawn is ruled by vata and is light, clear, and subtle. Get moving. When kapha is dominant in the day, the muscles are strongest between 6:00 and 10:00 am. Get outside for a brisk walk or do some vigorous yoga to melt away excess kapha. Kapalabhati pranayama is a great way to stoke the fires of digestion. Eat lighter foods. In the winter months, we naturally gravitate to...
