Africa's Halloween Rx For A Toxic-Free Body!

                           Eat Pumpkin Leaves! 

Another Halloween has come and gone, and that means
there will a lot of leftover pumpkins. 
In the U.S. pumpkins are used for pies, smoothies and
soups, but not in Africa. 
Oh no- in Africa, the leaves that grow alongside the pumpkin
are more prized.
Why?

They filter out toxins. If you live in a city with a lot of pollution
or eat a diet that's not nutritionally sound you may need
something that helps filter out the pollutants, the fats and the toxins 
and pumpkin leaves are more than up for the task.

The sweet tasting green leaves are loaded with calcium, vitamins
A and C and other phytonutrients that help clear up your
system and puts you on a path toward good health.
So, are you willing to try the green leaves from a pumpkin for
good health?
Well, if you are, you may have to go to a gourmet food shop or go online
to buy them. Or get some seeds, clear out a space in your yard 
and grow your own pumpkins, leaves, and the flowers.
Cook the leaves just as you would kale or spinach or add the
leaves to a salad.

And if you want more info on how the Orange gourd can improve
your health, head to Amazon.com/the kindle store
and pick up a copy of Orange is the new Green, The Healing
Powers of Pumpkin. Use pumpkin to...
develop super immunity
improve vision, (especially night vision)
build strong bones
help teens grow (boys)
boost sex drive (Men)
look 10 to 12 yrs. younger

Plus, much, much more, but you must head to Amazon.com

that give us pleasure). And if your dopamine levels get too low,
you try and find pleasure in a dozen donuts or endless bags of chips.
But, if your dopamine levels are at optimal levels, you tend to eat just 
until you're satisfied.

So, are you ready to try this Fava bean dip and get your dopamine 
levels up to optimal levels?
The Fava bean dip recipe:
Purchase Fava beans frozen. Take out a cup (let thaw) and place in a
food processor, add 1/4 cup of onions, chopped garlic (1 clove)
sun dried tomatoes, (pat the tomatoes dry), olive oil, 2 tbsps.
 a pinch of dried oregano, basil and parsley. 
and some salt and pepper.
Blend until smooth, remove and serve the dip with pita chips, or cut up
vegetables, like broccoli strips, asparagus tips, celery or carrot sticks.

That's it- your Winter recipe to help you stay slim and trim.
Also helpful: keep unhealthy foods out of the house.
Eat a piece of pizza, or have a burger on rare occasions.
Stick to a diet of lean meats, fish, vegetables, fruits,
Greek yogurt, olive and coconut oil and nuts. Or just follow 
"The Mediterranean Diet!"

Good Luck!

You probably know about the benefits of dark chocolate.

repeated.

or even taking in the scent of dark chocolate increases the levels
of the germ-fighting antibodies you need to stay cold and flu-free this 
Winter.

to resist. Good quality chocolate contains skin-protective antioxidants
called flavonols. And enjoying chocolate a few times a wk. reduces the
redness you may get after sunbathing, which slows down aging.
