Celery

Celery is a strongly alkaline food that helps to counteract acidosis, purify the bloodstream, aid in digestion, prevent migraines, relax the nerves, reduce blood pressure, and clear up skin problems.

Celery contains compounds called coumarins which are known to enhance the activity of certain white blood cells and support the vascular system.

Celery’s rich organic sodium content has the ability to dislodge calcium deposits from the joints and hold them in solution until they can be eliminated safely from the kidneys.

Celery is a well-known natural diuretic and has ample ability to flush toxins out of the body.

Celery also has significant anti-inflammatory properties making it an essential food for those who suffer from auto-immune illnesses. It also contains significant amounts of calcium and silicon which can aid in the repair of damaged ligaments and bones.

Celery is rich in vitamin A, magnesium, and iron which all help to nourish the blood and aid those suffering from rheumatism, high blood pressure, arthritis, and anemia. 

HEALTH BENEFITS

CELERY is a great choice if you are watching your weight. One large stalk contains only 10 calories! So, add celery to your shopping list and enjoy it.

CELERY REDUCES INFLAMMATION

If you are suffering from joint pains, lung infections, asthma, or acne, eating more celery will bring much-needed relief.

IT HELPS YOU CALM DOWN

Celery for stress relief? Oh yes! The minerals in celery, especially magnesium, and the essential oil in it, soothe the nervous system. It regulates the body’s alkaline balance, thus protecting you from problems caused by an overly acidic diet.

CELERY AIDS DIGESTION: The high water content of celery, combined with the insoluble fiber in it, makes it a great tool for easy passage of stool.

Note: Because celery has diuretic and cleansing properties, those with diarrhea should avoid eating it.

IT CONTAINS “GOOD” SALTS

Yes, celery does contain sodium, but it is not the same thing as table salt. The salt in celery is organic, natural, and essential for your health.

IT CARES FOR YOUR EYES

One large stalk of celery delivers 5 percent of your daily need for Vitamin A, a group of nutrients that protects the eyes and prevents age-related degeneration of vision.

CELERY REDUCES “BAD” CHOLESTEROL:

There is a component in celery called butylphthalide, which gives the vegetable its flavor and scent. But that’s not all it does — the compound also reduces bad cholesterol. A Chicago University study profiled by the New York Times shows that the butylphthalide found in just four stalks of celery a day can reduce bad cholesterol (LDL) by up to 7 percent!

IT LOWERS BLOOD PRESSURE:

An active compound called phthalides in celery has been proven to boost circulatory health. Raw, whole celery reduces high blood pressure.

CELERY CAN COMBAT CANCER: Two studies at the University of Illinois show that a powerful flavonoid in celery, called luteolin, inhibits the growth of cancer cells, especially in the pancreas. Another study suggests that the regular intake of celery could significantly delay the formation of breast cancer cells.

USEFUL TIPS:

Choose celery with upright stalks that snap when bent. The leaves should be fresh and crisp.  When selecting celery, remember this rule of thumb: The darker the color, the stronger the flavor.

REMEMBER…

Eat all celery cooked till tender as it is a course vegetable. Steamed celery not only retains its flavor but also most of its nutrients–up to 99 percent of them, in fact!

Cauliflower

Cauliflower is a flowering vegetable. White cauliflower is the most commonly grown, but there are also other varieties, purple, orange, and green. The health benefits of cauliflower are enormous. Include cauliflower vegetables in your diet on a regular basis if you want to receive fantastic health benefits. Cauliflower is high in vitamins, nutrients, and antioxidants. It also contains anti-inflammatory agents and serves as a detoxifying agent for the body.

Cauliflower supplies a tremendous amount of vitamin C, vitamin K, fiber, and folate, as well as a great supply of B vitamins, including B6 (pyridoxine), B5 (pantothenic acid), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), and vitamin B1 (thiamin). There are also minerals and other nutrients, such as potassium, protein, phosphorus, manganese, and magnesium, found in cauliflower.

HEALTH BENEFITS OF CAULIFLOWER

1) Weight Loss: - Cauliflower is a great food to include in your diet when you want to lose weight because it’s low in calories and can be used in a variety of ways. Try cooking the cauliflower into “rice” and using it in stir-fries instead of regular rice.

2) Heart Disease: - Cauliflower protects from heart disease in many ways. If your arteries remain flexible, you are less likely to suffer from a heart attack or stroke. Cauliflower avoids the chronic blood vessel inflammation involved in arterial hardening. The potassium in cauliflower helps to keep your blood pressure under control which is one of the main reasons of heart attacks. It also reduces the LDL or bad cholesterol considerably. Cauliflower contains allicin, which can improve heart health.

3) Cancers: - Cauliflower is an excellent source of fiber, which helps to improve colon health and can even help prevent colon cancer. Cauliflower, contain indole-3-carbinol, a substance that can affect the metabolism of estrogen in the body, and prevent breast and other cancers that primarily strike women.

04) Fetus Development: - Folate found in cauliflower, is needed for cell growth and replication. For this reason, it is often recommended that women who are pregnant eat significant amounts of cauliflower in order to help their unborn children develop properly. folate, a B vitamin that prevents neural tube defects in the baby and helps the proper development of a baby’s brain and spinal cord.

05) Detoxification: - Cauliflower contains phytonutrients called glucosinolates, which are sulfur-containing compounds. They give cauliflower its pungent smell and flavor and they help our body get rid of toxins and carcinogens. When chewed, glucosinolates break down into their active form, known as sulforaphane, which is what then triggers and activates liver detoxification enzymes.

06) Healthy Bones: - It is due to the special combination of vitamins K and vitamin C; cauliflower can keep your bones healthy.

07) Digestion: - Dietary fiber is very important, as it helps clean the digestive system, making the stool move through the intestines more easily. Cauliflower is a great source of dietary fiber, which is essential for optimal digestion. Cauliflower also contains a compound called glucoraphanin, which protects your stomach and intestines from certain health conditions.

08) Arthritis: - Cauliflower is an excellent source of vitamin K and omega-3 fatty acids, both of which have been proven to lower the levels of chronic inflammation that are involved in diseases of arthritis.

09) Alzheimer: - Cauliflower (containing high levels of vitamin K) can help to prevent the sort of neuronal damage that can sometimes lead to Alzheimer’s disease. Research also suggests that eating cauliflower can help to slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease in those who already suffer from the condition.

10) Prevent premature aging: - As you grow, you have less collagen at your disposal, and collagen is necessary for resilient and elastic skin. Vitamin C in cauliflower helps your body to produce more collagen and helps you to grow old gracefully by promoting the maintenance of smooth, wrinkle-free skin.

Cauliflower should always be cooked before eating by steaming, sautéing, or roasting. Raw vegetables steal iodine from the body and the enzyme is not released for proper mineral absorption. Seasonings such as turmeric, ginger, and paprika go well with cauliflower and provide a nutritional and medicinal boost.

Once again, Medical Science confirms that which was written over 100+ years ago in the spirit of prophecy. Coarse Vegetables should be cooked and not eaten raw.

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/raw-veggies-are-healthier/

“In the study of hygiene, students should be taught the nutrient value of different foods. The effect of a concentrated and stimulating diet, also of foods deficient in the elements of nutrition, should be made plain. Tea and coffee, fine-flour bread, pickles, COARSE VEGETABLES, candies, condiments, and pastries FAIL OF SUPPLYING PROPER NUTRIMENT. MANY A STUDENT HAS BROKEN DOWN AS THE RESULT OF USING SUCH FOODS. Many a puny child, incapable of vigorous effort of mind or body, is the victim of an impoverished diet. Grains, fruits, nuts, and vegetables, in proper combination, contain all the elements of nutrition; and WHEN PROPERLY PREPARED they constitute the diet that best promotes both physical and mental strength.” {Ed 204.3}

“A Scotchman is launching a new form of vegetarianism in Paris. Its members eat and drink nothing but uncooked vegetable foods and natural liquids.”  {June 21, 1894 EJW, PTUK 398.13}

***Notice how in 1894, some Scotch man came up with the raw diet in food and drink. This did not come from Adventists. If this was the diet for us, GOD would have given Sister White that counsel in 1863 when He gave her the health message.

Cauliflower can be readily found at your local grocery and health food stores.

Cashews

Cashews are my absolute favorite nut of all nuts! I buy raw cashews and then I wash and salt them with a healthy salt and then bake them until light brown. They are so good that way and no added oil. I use them raw in many dishes as well.

Cashews are a crunchy, yet delicately sweet nut that is treasured around the world for its flavor and health benefits. Cashews are high in protein and are a rich source of vitamin B-complex and essential minerals such as iron, selenium, zinc, and copper. They are also packed with anti-cancer compounds called proanthocyanidins which have the ability to starve tumors and stop cancer cells from dividing.

Cashews are highly beneficial for lowering blood pressure, preventing heart attacks, preventing gallstones, reducing the frequency of migraines, providing energy boosts, strengthening bones, and promoting healthy skin and hair. Cashews have a lower fat content than most other nuts and contain a high amount of oleic acid which is a heart-healthy monounsaturated fat that is great for the cardiovascular system.

They are also excellent for the nervous system and they are known to help keep muscles and nerves relaxed and free from tension and constriction. They can also help the body become more flexible and aid in the elasticity of the tendons, muscles, and joints. Cashews can satiate hunger which decreases overeating and aids in weight loss and weight management.

They are also good for overall eye health and they contain a bioflavonoid called zeaxanthin that helps to prevent age-related macular degeneration.

For the maximum health benefits try to find raw, unsalted cashews. Cashews can be eaten plain or added to salads, and vegetable or rice dishes. Cashews can also be ground into a nut butter and used to spread on apples, and cucumbers, or mixed with dried coconut, honey, and seasonings for a delicious and healthy dessert.

Good quality cashews can be readily found online or at your local health food store.

HEALTH BENEFITS

1. Cancer Prevention

Cashews are ripe with proanthocyanidins, a class of flavanols that actually starve tumors and stop cancer cells from dividing. Studies have also shown that cashews can reduce your colon cancer risk. Their high copper content also endows the seed with the power to eliminate free radicals and they are also good sources of phytochemicals and antioxidants that protect us from heart disease and cancer.

2. Heart Health

Cashews have a lower fat content than most other nuts and most of it is in the form of oleic acid, the same heart-healthy monounsaturated fat found in olive oil. Studies show that oleic acid promotes good cardiovascular health by helping to reduce triglyceride levels, high levels of which are associated with an increased risk for heart disease. Cashews are wonderfully cholesterol-free and their high antioxidant content helps lower the risk of cardiovascular and coronary heart diseases. The magnesium in cashews helps lower blood pressure and helps prevent heart attacks.

3. Hair and Skin Health

Cashews are rich in the mineral copper. An essential component of many enzymes, copper plays its part in a broad array of processes. One copper-containing enzyme, tyrosinase, converts tyrosine to melanin, which is the pigment that gives hair and skin its color. Without the copper, cashews are so abundant in, these enzymes would not be able to do their jobs.

4. Bone Health

Cashews are particularly rich in magnesium. It’s a well-known fact that calcium is necessary for strong bones, but magnesium is as well. Most of the magnesium in the human body is in our bones. Some of it helps lend bones their physical structure, and the remainder is located on the surface of the bone where it is stored for the body to use as it needs. Copper found in cashews is vital for the function of enzymes involved in combining collagen and elastin, providing substance and flexibility in bones and joints.

5. Good for the Nerves

By preventing calcium from rushing into nerve cells and activating them, magnesium keeps our nerves relaxed and thereby our blood vessels and muscles too. Too little magnesium means too much calcium can gain entrance to the nerve cell, causing it to send too many messages, and leading to too much contraction.

Insufficient magnesium leads to higher blood pressure, muscle tension, migraine headaches, soreness and fatigue. Not surprisingly, studies have demonstrated that magnesium helps diminish the frequency of migraine attacks, lowers blood pressure and helps prevent heart attacks.

6. Prevent Gallstones

Data collected on 80,718 women from the Nurses’ Health Study demonstrates that women who eat at least an ounce of nuts each week, such as cashews, have a 25% lower risk of developing gallstones.

7. Weight Loss

People who eat nuts twice a week are much less likely to gain weight than those who rarely eat nuts. Cashew nuts are indeed relatively high in fat, but it is considered “good fat.” This is attributable to the ideal fat ratio in the nut, 1:2:1 for saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated, respectively, which is recommended by scientists for tip-top health. Cashew nuts contain less fat than most other popular nuts, including peanuts, pecans, almonds, and walnuts. They are dense in energy and high in dietary fiber, making them a very valuable snack for managing weight gain.
