Vitamin K is among the main vitamins involved in bone mineralization, blood clotting and even removes calcium from areas of the body where it shouldn’t be. Additionally, it also helps support both our brain function and healthy metabolism, and it shields us against cancer. Some studies posit that high intakes of vitamin K can stop further bone loss in people with osteoporosis.

2. RICH IN ANTIOXIDANTS

Mustard greens offer huge amounts of three powerful antioxidants: vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin K. Also, they are an outstanding source of manganese; folate and also vitamin E. Vitamin E, C and A jointly helps to destroy free radicals, which damage the cell membranes. They also offer wonderful benefits to people struggling with asthma, heart diseases as well as menopausal symptoms.

4. EYE HEALTH PROTECTION

Mustard greens contain 123.57% of your daily value of vitamin A in one cup. Vitamin A is extremely important for eye health. To see the full spectrum of light, eye needs to produce certain pigments for the photoreceptor cells in your retina to work appropriately. Lack of vitamin A halts the production of these pigments, resulting in night blindness. An eye needs vitamin A to care other parts of your eye, including the cornea, the clear covering on the front of your eye. Without sufficient amounts of vitamin A, eyes cannot produce sufficient moisture to help keep them properly lubricated.

5. HEART HEALTH

Mulberries

When I was a child we had a mulberry tree and so did the neighbors! We picked them right off the tree and ate them while playing. Of course I didn’t know any better not to eat between meals then but I remember the taste and they were very good.

Mulberries are the fruits of mulberry trees (Morus), related to figs and breadfruit. Mulberry trees are traditionally grown for their leaves, mainly in Asia and North America, as they are the only food that silkworms can eat.

Fresh mulberries contain 88% water and only 60 calories per cup (140 grams). By fresh weight, they contain 9.8% carbs, 1.7% fiber, 1.4% protein and 0.4% fat.

Mulberries are a decent fiber source, corresponding to 1.7% of their fresh weight. The fibers are both soluble (25%) in the form of pectin, and insoluble (75%) in the form of lignin. Fibers help us to maintain a healthy digestive system, decrease cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of many diseases.

VITAMINS AND MINERALS

Mulberries are an excellent source of vitamin C and iron, and are a good source of many other vitamins and minerals. The most abundant ones are listed below.

Vitamin C: An essential vitamin that is important for skin health and various functions in the body.

Iron: An important mineral that has various functions, such as transporting oxygen throughout the body.

Vitamin K1: Also known as phylloquinone, vitamin K is important for blood clotting and bone health.

Potassium: An essential mineral that may lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart disease.

Vitamin E: An antioxidant that protects against oxidative damage.

Bottom Line: Mulberries contain high amounts of both iron and vitamin C, and decent amounts of vitamin K, potassium and vitamin E.

OTHER PLANT COMPOUNDS

Mulberries are rich in plant compounds, such as anthocyanins, that contribute to their color and beneficial health effects. The most abundant ones are listed below.

Anthocyanins: A family of antioxidants, which may inhibit oxidation of LDL cholesterol and have beneficial effects against heart disease.

Cyanidin: The main anthocyanin in mulberries, responsible for their color (black, red, purple).

Chlorogenic Acid: An antioxidant, abundant in many fruits and vegetables.

Rutin: A powerful antioxidant that may help protect against chronic diseases like cancer, diabetes and heart disease.

Myricetin: A compound that may have a protective effect against some cancers. Mulberries, even from the same species, may contain different amounts of plant compounds, have different colors and different antioxidant properties.

Deep colored and mature mulberries are richer in plant compounds, and have a higher antioxidant capacity, than colorless and immature berries.

Bottom Line: Mulberries contain several plant compounds, such as anthocyanins, cyanidins, chlorogenic acid, rutin and myricetin. Deep colored and mature berries contain higher amounts than colorless berries.

HEALTH BENEFITS

Mulberries or mulberry extracts may be beneficial against several chronic diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.

LOWER CHOLESTEROL

Cholesterol is an important fatty molecule that is present in every cell in the body. However, elevated cholesterol in the blood is also linked to increased risk of heart disease.

Animal studies show that mulberries and mulberry extracts can reduce excess fat and lower cholesterol levels. They may also improve the ratio between LDL (“bad“) and HDL (“good“) cholesterol.

Some test-tube experiments also show that they reduce the formation of fat in the liver, potentially helping to prevent fatty liver disease.

IMPROVE BLOOD SUGAR CONTROL

Diabetics are sensitive to rapid changes in blood sugar, and need to be careful when they eat carbs.

Mulberries contain a compound called DNJ (1-deoxynojirimycin), which inhibits an enzyme in the gut that breaks down carbohydrates.

DNJ is therefore considered to be beneficial against diabetes, by slowing down the increase in blood sugar after meals.

REDUCE CANCER RISK

Increased stress in the body has been shown to induce oxidative damage in cells and tissues, and is associated with increased risk of cancer. For hundreds of years, mulberries have been part of traditional Chinese medicine as a remedy against cancer.

Some researchers now believe that these reputed cancer-preventive effects may actually have a scientific basis.

Animal studies indicate that antioxidants in mulberry juice can decrease oxidative stress, potentially reducing the risk of cancer.

Mulberries are large, deciduous trees native to the warm, temperate, and subtropical regions of Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Technically, mulberry fruit is an aggregation of small fruits arranged concentrically around the central axis as in blackberry or loganberries. Each fruit measures 2-5 cm in length. In most species, mulberries are purple-red when ripen; however, they can be white, red, purple or multiple variegated colors in the same fruit.

Digestive Health: Like the majority of fruits and vegetables, mulberries contain dietary fiber, approximately 10% of your daily requirements in a single serving, in fact. Dietary fiber can help to improve digestive health by bulking up stool, thereby speeding up the movement of food through the digestive tract, while also reducing occurrences of constipation, bloating, and cramping. Furthermore, fiber helps to regulate cholesterol levels and can boost heart health when regularly added to the diet.

Circulation: The high levels of iron contains in mulberries, which is a very unusual mineral for fruits to contain, can significantly boost the body’s production of red blood cells. This means that the body will increase its distribution of oxygen to important tissues and organ systems, thereby helping to boost metabolism and optimize functionality of those systems.

Blood Pressure and Heart Health: Resveratrol is a very important flavonoid antioxidant that directly affects the functioning of certain mechanisms in blood vessels, primarily making them less prone to damage by angiotensin, which can cause blood vessel constriction. In fact, resveratrol increases the production of nitric oxide, which is a vasodilator, meaning that it relaxes blood vessels and reduces chances of blood clot formation and subsequent heart issues like strokes or heart attacks. Resveratrol is found in many dark-skinned berries like mulberries, including most grapes, which is why this is a beneficial antioxidant.

Cancer Prevention: Between the high content of anthocyanins, vitamin C, vitamin A, and various other polyphenolic and phytonutrient compounds, mulberries are absolutely packed with antioxidant potential. Antioxidants are the main line of defense against free radicals, which form as a dangerous byproduct of cellular metabolism and can damage healthy cells, causing them to mutate into cancerous cells. The diverse range of antioxidants found in mulberries means that they can neutralize these free radicals quickly, before too much damage is done.

Vision Health: One of the carotenoids found in mulberries is zea-xanthin, which has been connected directly to a reduction in oxidative stress on certain ocular cells, including the retina macula lutea. Furthermore, zea-xanthin functions as an antioxidant and prevents certain damage to the retina, including from free radicals that can cause macular degeneration and cataracts.

Immune System: Vitamin C is a powerful defensive weapon against any illnesses or foreign pathogens in the body that antioxidants don’t take care of. A single serving of mulberries is almost the entire requirement of Vitamin C for the day, but combine that with the minerals and vitamins that are in this fruit, and you have a true weapon against illness. Add a few mulberries to your morning breakfast and watch your immune system health soar!

Build Bone Tissue: Vitamin K, calcium, and iron, as well as the trace amounts of phosphorous and magnesium found in mulberries, can all be beneficial for the creation and maintenance of bone tissue. As we get older, maintaining strong bones, speeding up the healing process, or even reversing the damage of bone degradation is important to prevent conditions like osteoporosis or other age-related bone disorders.

Antioxidants and Premature Aging: Mulberries also boast a high level of vitamin A and vitamin E, as along with a range of carotenoid components like lutein, beta carotene, zea-xanthin, and alpha carotene. All of these elements act as antioxidants that specifically affect the skin, tissue, hair, and other areas of the body where free radicals strike. Mulberries can help keep skin looking smooth, reduce the appearance of blemishes and age spots, and keep hair shiny and healthy by preventing the oxidative actions of free radicals.

PREPARATION AND SERVING METHODS

After cleaning, gently pat them dry using soft cloth. Take care not to squeeze or press the berries, else they will deface, and stain cloth, hand, etc. Then, trim away its stem end by simply pinching off with fingers or either using a small scissors or paring knife.

The berries have found their unique place in the kitchen, be it a simple mulberry pie, or a mulberry cobbler or just in a fruit salad. They are also favored in variety of recipes.

SERVING TIPS:

• Fresh mulberries are generally eaten as they are, without any\ seasonings/additions.
• They combine well with other berry salads.
• Mulberries are favored in jams, jellies, tart syrups, etc.
• Dried mulberries can be used in pie fillings, mulberry muffins, cookies, cakes, etc.

Mental Illness Treatment

SYMPTOMS – Depression, anxiety, delusions, nervousness, loss of interest in school or work, sleep pattern changes, irritability, withdrawal from society, sudden rages, lack of enthusiasm, and panic attacks.
* There may be heredity factors, but environmental factors and lifestyle are very important. Nutritional deficiencies have a strong effect on mental health.

* Autointoxication and constipation are contributing factors in mental illness. Symptoms that are alleviated range from mental sluggishness to hallucinations.

* There is a direct relation between the transverse colon and the brain. When the colon is clogged, mental illness is triggered in some, and an attack of epilepsy in others.

* Eliminate the “glue foods”; these tend to clog the colon, produce a buildup of mucous and toxins in it, and lead to mental problems. Such foods include white flour, sugar, eggs, meat, peanuts, and dairy products.

* Brain cells cannot function properly without proper nutrients.

* It is known that many cases of mental illness are solved when a simple, nourishing diet, including sufficient fiber and adequate vitamins and minerals, are given; and the colon is cleaned out by eating high-fiber diet.

* A high carbohydrate (whole grain) diet stimulates the amount of tryptophane in the brain and produces a calming, peaceful feeling.

* Exercise, especially out-of-doors in the fresh air, combined with relaxation helps to rejuvenate the body and mind.

* Allergy specialist successfully treats individuals with mental illness by isolating foods and chemicals in the environment which induce mental problems. Allergic reactions may be a factor in criminal behavior. In some cases, the offending food does not cause mental reactions until hours after being eaten. This is called masked food allergy.

* Herbs that calm the brain and the nerves include hop, and chamomile.

Mangos

Mangos aren't just exceptionally tasty, they also have incredible healing properties. They help to alkalinize the whole body by helping to flush out toxic acids and rebuild the alkali reserves in the body. They're also packed with enzymes and are a prebiotic food, meaning they contain compounds that stimulate and feed the good bacteria in the intestines which greatly aids in digestion and assimilation.

Mangos are a source of vitamins A, C, E, and B-complex as well as health-promoting flavonoids such as beta-carotene and alpha-carotene. They're also a powerful anti-cancer food and are specifically known to help prevent lung, breast, colon, prostate, blood, and oral cancers. They are also highly beneficial in the prevention of strokes, heart disease, arthritis, cognitive disorders, respiratory diseases, and kidney disease.

Mangos contain a significant amount of pyridoxine (B-6) which is vital for the synthesis of serotonin and dopamine in the brain and is essential in maintaining hormonal balance and proper immune function. Mangoes also help prevent insomnia and provide for better sleep.

HEALTH BENEFITS 

1.  Prevents Cancer:

Research has shown antioxidant compounds in mango fruit have been found to protect against colon, breast, leukemia, and prostate cancers. These compounds include quercetin, isoquercitrin, astragalin, fisetin, gallic acid and methylgallat, as well as abundant enzymes.

2.  Lowers Cholesterol:

The high levels of fiber, pectin, and vitamin C help to lower serum cholesterol levels, specifically Low-Density Lipoprotein (the bad stuff).

3.  Clears the Skin:

Can be used both internally and externally for the skin. Mangos help clear clogged pores and eliminate pimples.

4.  Improves Eye Health:

One cup of sliced mangoes supplies 25 percent of the needed daily value of vitamin A, which promotes good eyesight and prevents night blindness and dry eyes.

5.  Alkalizes the Whole Body:

The tartaric acid, malic acid, and a trace of citric acid found in the fruit help to maintain the alkali reserve of the body.

6. May Help with Diabetes:

Mango leaves help normalize insulin levels in the blood. The traditional home remedy involves boiling leaves in water, soaking them through the night, and then consuming the filtered decoction in the morning. Mango fruit also has a relatively low glycemic index (41-60) so moderate quantities will not spike your sugar levels.

7. Promotes Healthy Sex:

Mangos are a great source of vitamin E. Even though the popular connection between sex drive and vitamin E was originally created by a mistaken generalization in rat studies, further research has shown that balanced proper amounts (from whole foods) do help.

8. Improves Digestion:

Papayas are not the only fruit that contains enzymes for breaking down protein. There are several fruits, including mangoes, which have this healthful quality. The fiber in mangos also helps digestion and elimination.

9. Helps Fight Heat Stroke:

Juicing the fruit from green mango and mixing it with water and a sweetener helps to cool down the body and prevent harm from overheating. From an ayurvedic viewpoint, the reason people often get diuretic and exhausted when visiting equatorial climates is because the strong “sun energy” is burning up your body, particularly the muscles. The kidneys then become overloaded with the toxins from this process.

10. Boosts the Immune System:

The generous amounts of vitamin C and vitamin A in mangos, plus 25 different kinds of carotenoids keep your immune system healthy and strong.

2. Antioxidants

Another health benefit of macadamia comes from their high flavonoid content. Flavonoids, which are found naturally in these plants help to prevent cells from damage and protects from environmental toxins. These flavonoids convert into antioxidants in our body. These antioxidants search and destroy free radicals and protect our bodies from various diseases and certain types of cancer, which include breast, cervical, lung, prostate, and stomach cancer.

3. Weight Loss

People usually avoid eating macadamia thinking that it is laden with fats and cholesterol. However, the fat in macadamia is monounsaturated fats which promote weight loss. Macadamia nuts are rich in palmitoleic acid, and omega 7 fatty oil that provide building blocks for the enzymes and control the burning of fat and curb the appetite. Palmitoleic acid increases fat metabolism and reduces fat storage. Their fatty acids content makes them an extremely satisfying food, and you will need only a handful to feel satisfied.

4. Proteins

Macadamias contain a significant level of protein, which is an essential component of our diet and forms muscles and connective tissues in our bodies. Proteins are a part of our blood and act positively on our health. They also help to maintain the health of hair, nails and skin.

5. Dietary Fiber

Macadamias contains around 7% of dietary fiber. Dietary fiber comprises of complex carbohydrates and includes many types of soluble and insoluble fiber. Dietary fiber promotes satiety, provides roughage, aids digestion and assist in reducing constipation and several other diseases related to it.

6. Bone Health

Phosphorus in macadamia plays a variety of roles including bone and teeth mineralization, metabolism, absorption and transportation of nutrients. Calcium also helps in the formation of teeth and bones. Manganese in macadamia helps the body to deposit new bone tissue, so that the skeleton stays strong as you age. Omega 3 prevents osteoporosis and reduces the severity of arthritis.

7. Promotes Brain Health

Macadamia promotes the health of the nervous system. Copper in macadamia helps to make neurotransmitters, the chemicals which our brain cell uses to send chemical signals.

Macadamia nut oil is rich in oleic acid, which plays an important role in the reduction of inflammation and boosting of memory power. It also helps in lowering the symptoms of asthma and the levels of bad cholesterol in the body while increasing HDL (good cholesterol) levels. This fatty acid is also beneficial for skin health as it has superb moisturizing and regeneration properties.

9. Increases Nutrient Absorption Rate

As mentioned earlier, macadamia nut oil has high 

monounsaturated fatty acid content. These fatty acids are important for good health as they help in increasing the rate of absorption of nutrients, as well as fat-soluble vitamins in the body.

10. Boosts Bone, Cell, And Tissue Strength

Macadamia nut oil plays a vital role in keeping the bones, cells and tissues of the body strong. This is because of its richness in magnesium. This mineral also provides support to muscle and nerve functions and helps in stabilizing heart rhythm.
