Oo Banana

So this berry from an overgrown herb plant is rather absurd.  It has high amounts of vitamin a, b's and c, large amounts of fiber and natural fat that allows our body to better process unhealthy fats in the body.  They are also high in potassium which strengthens the cardiovascular system.   Also they contain a probiotic that allows the body to absorb calcium faster.  Many consider it a super-food, I certainly would.

At times, usually while under high stress, I will experience morning sickness.  When I do I'll try eating or drinking less the night before other than water.  Then starting the morning with a banana and maybe a glass of milk or green tea and more water.   Following that I'll get some light exercise or stretching in, after about an hour I'll be ready for a good sized meal.

Eating 3-4 hours before bed is not looked highly upon because the body absorbs building blocks from the stomach most efficiently, when our body is moving and blood is flowing relatively faster.   If we eat before bed it will sit in our digestive system through the night causing raised stress to our organs and leaves a bad situation for breakfast to be absorbed.

Enjoy banana's with ice cream or cereal.  In a smoothie or a fruit bowl.  And the peels can be used to 'dry up acne'.  I haven't tried it myself, but if you do let me know how it worked out.  I throw them in the compost, as they do all sorts of good for it.
Well here's another update, I hope this helps on your journey's in life.

Here are a few interesting sites I read about stuff like this on:

Public Transportation

      Taking the bus to work can save a lot of money.  Here's a good link with a chart showings saving by city: Bus vs. Car 

      After adding up the price it seems a great deal could be saved.  In my city it cost around $40 dollars for a monthly bus pass with unlimited rides.  Plus you will get some exercise in walking to bus stops.  Also the stress of driving is taken out of your day, allowing you to arrive at work in a great mood.

     I think this is a good choice as the funding will help develop more public transportation.  Can't forget to mention a bicycle.  Then you will be getting a good amount of exercise.  Most buses have bike racks that are pretty easy to use.  I found it quite useful.

Check this site out, http://naturalsociety.com   It has tons of intriguing articles on natural health.  I like the Mind/Body section, found a lot having to do with managing pain in new ways.

Update and Ideas

Greetings, out here on the West Coast, we just started getting some good rain.  Since then spinach, Swiss chard, and lettuce are growing well.  Not many carrots sprouted, and of the ones that did one or two are growing well.

Another idea I came across was making a stepping stone by using cement and arranging some various stones in the bottom of a 5 gallon bucket or old water bowl.  Then let dry for a day or two and there you have a homemade stepping stone.

As far as exercise, the core muscle groups are important.  They can be strengthened by cardio-endurance related activities.  Practice handstands against a wall if you feel comfortable and have developed decent core groups. Be aware of your surroundings!  Eventually if you keep practicing you'll be able to do a handstand without using the wall.  

Swiss chard is growing quickly right now so pick some up from your local farmers market,  it is a great source of fiber, vitamin K, A and trace minerals.  Fiber helps digestion.  Vitamin K helps with bone strength and blood flow.

Winter Garden

Well it's been a while.  It's near the end of September, so it's starting to cool off.  Winter gardens are cool because:

• Less watering, the rain will take care of that. Just proper drainage during heavier rains.  
• Soft soil, it is much easier to work with once it soaks up some moisture.
• A wide variety of plants can be grown.  Around here it's prefect for broccoli  spinach, lettuce, carrots etc... 
• Keeps food coming from the garden year-round! 

I just planted some carrots and spinach in a raised bed.  Gonna see how that goes.
