Body Pain Remedies

Heaven lets you know too!!!

I have been having a craving for Italian foods. I watch out for intuitive cravings, which is a little different then regular cravings. The sauces, organic pasta preferably, garlic, lemon vest, etc. Its usually involved with a deficiency that I may be lacking or a weight loss tactic I need, lol. Like lemons and limes or even peppers (hot, sweet, and chili flakes) came first on that topic. Then it dawned on me that you don't need special garlic pills that cost extra money either, you break up the garlic clove, cut it into pieces, and you have natural pill forms you can take down with water. Plus, I heard this guy at work (ive been living in the dark) takes garlic like that when he gets sick. For the longest time I have been wondering "how can you eat garlic cloves", and you don't, I literally just realized you take them like pills. All the weight loss benefits too!!! and ive been missing out for years, not spending extra money on garlic pills. lol Plus, I work at a grocery store, and its .99cents for 5 pieces of garlic.

Cayenne is also a natural pain remedy, taken in pill form.


But its the tomatoes that has something in it that can heal this. I have sciatica back pain, so a nerve that is pinched within the spine. It comes and goes, and I can go years without having really hardcore pain. The doctors give me what though when that pain comes about hardcore?? anti inflammatory pills mixed in with advil. lol My inflammation levels are high, so it does something to increase 10 fold any pain.

So, right now, ill put google to use......and lets see if those properties are listed.

Typical foods that I am not allowed b/c they don't make you lose weight, but if you weight it, portion it out, use fresh herbs and tomatoes, its the perfect remedy. One main meal a day focus, with small snacks and portion throughout the day.

The power of tomatoes.

1. Tomatoes contain all four major carotenoids: alpha- and beta-carotene, lutein, and lycopene. These carotenoids may have individual benefits, but also have synergy as a group (that is, they interact to provide health benefits).
2. In particular, tomatoes contain awesome amounts of lycopene,thought to have the highest antioxidant activity of all the carotenoids.
3. Tomatoes and broccoli have synergy that may help reduce the risk of prostate cancer.One study showed that prostate tumors grew much more slowly in rats that were fed both tomato and broccoli powder than in rats given lycopene as a supplement or fed just the broccoli or tomato powder alone.
4. A diet rich in tomato-based products may help reduce the risk of pancreatic cancer, according to a study from The University of Montreal. The researchers found that lycopene (provided mainly by tomatoes) was linked to a 31% reduction in pancreatic cancer risk between men with the highest and lowest intakes of this carotenoid.
5. Tomatoes contain all three high-powered antioxidants:beta-carotene (which has vitamin A activity in the body), vitamin E, and vitamin C. A U.S. Department of Agriculture report, What We Eat in America, noted that a third or us get too little vitamin C and almost half get too little vitamin A.
6. Tomatoes are rich in potassium, a mineral most of us don't get enough of. A cup of tomato juice contains 534 milligrams of potassium, and 1/2 cup of tomato sauce has 454 milligrams.
7. When tomatoes are eaten along with healthier fats, like avocado or olive oil, the body's absorption of the carotenoid phytochemicals in tomatoes can increase by two to 15 times, according to a study from Ohio State University.
8. Tomatoes are a big part of the famously healthy Mediterraneandiet. Many Mediterranean dishes and recipes call for tomatoes or tomato paste or sauce. Some recent studies, including one from The University of Athens Medical School, have found that people who most closely follow the Mediterranean diet have lower death rates from heart disease and cancer. Researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health, who followed more than 39,000 women for seven years, found that consumption of oil- and tomato-based products -- particularly tomato and pizza sauce -- was associated with cardiovascular benefits.
9. When breastfeeding moms eat tomato products, it increases the concentration of lycopenein their breast milk. In this case, cooked is best. The researchers also found that eating tomato products like tomato sauce increased concentrations of lycopene in breast milk more than eating fresh tomatoes did.
10. Tomato peels contribute a high concentration of the carotenoids found in tomatoes. The amount of carotenoids absorbed by human intestinal cells was much greater with tomato paste enriched with tomato peels compared to tomato paste without peels, according to a study from Marseille, France. The tomato skin also holds most of the flavonols (another family of phytochemicals that includes quercetin and kaempferol) as well. So to maximize the health propertiesof tomatoes, don't peel them if you can help it!

"The health benefits of tomatoes include eye care, good stomach health, and a reduced blood pressure. They provide relief from diabetes, skin problems, and urinary tract infections too. Furthermore, they improve digestion, stimulate blood circulation, reduce cholesterol levels, improve fluid balance, protect the kidneys, detoxify the body, prevent premature aging, and reduce inflammation. Tomatoes consist of a large number of antioxidants that have been proven to fight different forms of cancer. They are also a rich source of vitamins and minerals and exert a protective effect against cardiovascular diseases."
