HEALTH BENEFITS

Anti-fungal Ability: The most famous active ingredient found in thyme is thymol. This organic compound has a wide range of effects on the body, including the ability to prevent fungal and viral infections, thereby reducing strain on the immune system.

Antioxidant Capacity: With one of the highest antioxidant concentrations in any herb, thyme has been praised for thousands of years as an overall health booster. The phenolic antioxidants found in thyme, including lutein, zeaxanthin, and thymonin all contribute to neutralizing and eliminating free radicals throughout the body. Free radicals are the dangerous byproducts of cellular metabolism that can do major damage to your healthy cells by causing apotosis or spontaneous mutation. These antioxidants help to prevent oxidative stress in all of your organ systems, as well as your neural pathways, heart, eyes, and skin.

Circulation: The high concentration of iron and other essential minerals in thyme make it ideal for stimulating the production of red blood cells, thereby boosting your body’s circulations and the oxygenation of essential organ systems and extremities throughout the body.

Heart Health: The rich blend of antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins in thyme have many small effects on the heart, but the potassium and manganese are particularly important. Potassium is a vasodilator, meaning that it can reduce the stress on the cardiovascular system by relaxing blood vessels and lowering blood pressure. This can extend your life by preventing atherosclerosis and avoiding strokes, heart attacks, and coronary heart disease.

Vision Booster: The concentration of carotenoids and vitamin A found in thyme make it an effective antioxidant agent for your visions health. Carotenoids can neutralize the free radicals in your ocular system and slow the onset of macular degeneration and prevent cataracts!

Immune System: The high levels of vitamin C found in sage make it a natural immune system booster. Vitamin C stimulates the production of white blood cells, which are the first line of defense in the body’s immune system. Vitamin C also plays a crucial part in the production of collagen, which is essential for the creation and repair of cells, muscles, tissues, and blood vessels.

Reduce Stress: One of the vitamins in thyme (B6) has a powerful effect on certain neurotransmitters in the brain that are directly linked to stress hormones. Regular inclusion of thyme in your diet can help to boost your mood and ease your mind when stressful thoughts come calling.

Respiratory Issues: One of the most well-known and long-standing uses for thyme in traditional medicine is as a respiratory health agent. If you are suffering from bronchitis, chronic asthma, congestion, colds, flus, blocked sinuses, or seasonal allergies, thyme acts as an expectorant and an anti-inflammatory substance, eliminating phlegm and mucus from the respiratory tracts, easing inflammation to help breathing, and prevent microbial development that can lead to illness. Brewing thyme leaves into a powerful tea is the best way to achieve this sort of relief for respiratory ailments.

A Final Word of Warning: For those with sensitive stomachs, high intake of thyme can cause gastrointestinal distress, but generally, this herb is not known as an allergenic substance and can be consumed regularly in your diet.

The Appendix

The appendix is not a vestigial organ, as was once thought. The appendix is precisely placed to contact a large number of germs that normally inhabit the colon. This pouch, lined by lymphatic tissue, is ideal for its function since lymphocytes are involved in the immune system of the body and are especially active in destroying cancer cells and producing antibodies.

The appendix is a part of the immune system that protects the gut area. When it is infected, there is a lot of overwhelming bacteria or infection going on in the gut. Sometimes the groin lymph nodes will pick up some to help out and get swollen and painful also. So, when the appendix is removed and the tonsils which protect the head and throat area, you are reducing the immune system's ability to function.  A charcoal poultice or clay poultice can help absorb the infection and reduce the need to remove the overloaded immunity organs.

Even drinking a glass of charcoal water every hour will reduce the infection and the need for surgery.

The appendix is located in the right lower quadrant of the abdomen, attached to the cecum, the first part of the large bowel. Lymphocytes sense the germs present there and produce certain substances for the blood that give contact resistance against the germs, including enteric viruses that may cause cancer. Thus, it can be readily appreciated that the position and structure of the appendix are perfect for the job it must perform - that of becoming acquainted with germs and "learning" how to protect the body against them.

Persons who die of cancer, especially lymphoma, leukemia, or cancer of the colon, breast, or ovary are two times more likely to have had an appendectomy. With these statistics, it becomes desirable to guard against unnecessary loss of the appendix.

 APPENDICITIS

 Of course, if one has the life-threatening disease of appendicitis, it is essential to remove the appendix. But, if a surgeon operates for appendicitis and finds that the appendix is not inflamed, it is felt by many that he should leave it in place. In the same manner, if the abdomen is opened for a gallbladder operation, a hysterectomy, or some other surgical condition, the appendix should not be removed incidentally, as was once the custom.

If one loses the appendix for any reason before the age of thirty, he should use greater care for the rest of his life to avoid cancer risks. These risks are fairly well defined in medical circles and should be studied, to avoid them where possible. Risks include dietary factors, such as rich foods (fats, refined carbohydrates, protein, and other dietary supplements), heavy meat, or milk consumption, and too many calories. Non-dietary risk factors of various chemicals, exposure to certain animals, and the use of certain drugs and hormones should also be carefully studied. 

PREVENTION

How can one prevent appendicitis? First and foremost, through one's diet. A diet low in fiber and high in dairy products, meat, refined grains, and sugar is most likely to set up a condition in the appendix that will eventually result in appendicitis.

Choose instead a diet of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, using all other foods sparingly. (Several studies have suggested that vegetarians are practically immune to appendicitis.) Further, it occurs more intensely in individuals, especially if they have a diet high in refined sugars, grains, and fats.

Sugar Kiss Melon

I couldn’t find much info on Sugar Kiss Melons but if you have never had one you are missing out! They are my absolute favorite melon; they are the BEST melon I have ever tasted. Cantaloupes are good, especially sweet cantaloupes are fantastic….but a Sugar Kiss Melon is better than I ever imagined possible. I'm ranking it up there with Medjool Dates.

Sugar kiss melons are sweet, soft melon with pale orange flesh and a pale netted rind. A melon so sweet it's called “Sugar Kiss” — and that's no exaggeration. The cotton candy of melons, the soft orange center will melt on your tongue, bursting with rich, cantaloupe flavor.

Melons are high in fiber and low in calories at about 60 calories per cup. Melons offer essential vitamins and minerals.

Vitamin C is an antioxidant vitamin that plays an important role in the growth and maintenance of all tissues in your body.

Vitamin A plays a role in promoting healthy teeth, skin, bone, mucous membranes and vision. Vitamin A is also important for boosting the immune system. Collagen is also essential for healthy skin and hair. Furthermore, vitamin A is known to promote healthy tissue growth, including in skin, and the high water content in cantaloupes helps keep skin moisturized and supple.

Potassium – Consuming adequate amounts of potassium in your diet may lower blood pressure and reduce the impact of high-sodium foods. Potassium is a mineral electrolyte that keeps electricity flowing throughout your body, which is required for proper heart function. Potassium may also help protect your cardiovascular system against high blood pressure, according to the FDA.

To pick the perfect melon, first check the aroma. It should be sweet and perfumy, practically filling the room.  It’s a little hard to pick the perfect smooth-skinned melon, but the rough-skinned melons such as cantaloupes and muskmelons that have netting on the skin offer more clues. The netting itself should be raised above the peel. The background color should be golden, not green. Give a gentle squeeze at the stem end– it should give slightly. If you hear the seeds sloshing around when you give it a shake, the melon should be eaten right away.

The only place I have ever found these delightful melons is at Sam’s Club. I hear Trader Joe’s carries them but we don’t have one close by us. If you can find one of these melons, I highly recommend you try one, you won’t be sorry and will go back for more!
