These techniques aid in both boosting the immune system and in starving many of the viral infections that prefer a sucrose rich environment. We also consult the internet to see what infectious agents may be making the rounds in our area and what is most effective against them.
Very few realize that cinnamon has been utilized for its therapeutic properties since old times. In Ancient Egypt, it was really considered as the flavor for rulers.
Feminism has been around for centuries. Victim feminism leads to negative perceptions and the alienation of women. Women seem powerless and almost to the point of rejecting any power they do have. It portrays women as “just that”, a woman. There to do the woman's job, and only that. By examining the poem “Cinnamon Peeler” by Michael Ondaatje, the reader gets a feel of victimized women and the inequality of women in a male dominated society. The Cinnamon Peeler himself is portrayed as a wealthy and prosperous man. Cinnamon is an exotic eastern spice, so this symbolizes social and economic status. He is portraying himself on a higher status than women.
The American Medical Journal explains that the heart disease is one of the deadliest medical conditions. Medical experts reckon that heart disease is a lifestyle disease, which emanates from excessive consumption of the wrong dietary combination. Foods such as fats and carbohydrates often expose individuals to the threat of heart disease. Consuming fast foods from McDonalds also expose people to the threat of heart disease. The most plausible means of mitigating the risk of contacting heart disease is by observing dietary combination. Individuals must keep a balanced diet always in order to avoid dietary concerns later on in life. The most common symptoms include chest discomfort, nausea, trouble sleeping, breathing problems, and unusual tiredness.
Most concoctions that were given were just remedies to relieve symptoms as there is no cure -- even to this day. “Headaches were relieved by rose, lavender, sage and bay. Sickness or nausea was treated with wormwood, mint, and balm. Lung problems were treated with liquorice and comfrey. Vinegar was used as a cleansing agent as it was believed that it would kill disease.” The shortcomings of medical science were highlighted by the Black Plague, it caused people to change their focus. People became aware of the need of surgeons and focus on human bodies different various states of sickness and

Young or old, we have all once used homemade remedies to heal burns, get out stains, or relieve treacherous acne, but what if those silly tricks went a step further and cured critical illnesses? At the start of the American society, before the increased technological and medical advances, the ill did not have the convenient access to a drugstore located on almost every corner to pick up Tylenol or Nyquil; they lived a holistic lifestyle. By having this, “holistic approach to life, equilibrium of the mind, body, and the environment, and an emphasis on health rather than on disease,” (United States) ancient society focused on their bodies rather than the illness they possessed. People in current society should begin to shift into the use of natural
I come from a very large Mexican family where there is a lot of meat, cheeses, fried food, butter and of course always a lot of sweets. Due to this diet there are many health related concerns in my family, three being diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol, although high cholesterol seems to be more of a genetic issue rather than a food related one. Even so, the diet we maintain does not help lower it. Due to this diet and genetics, I have very high cholesterol myself; my doctor even shocked me by saying that I could have a heart attack by the time I’m 25. This obviously scared me and I knew then that there needed to be a change in my diet.

Cinnamon is a common everyday spice obtained from the inner bark of several trees from the genus Cinnamomum that is used to flavor both sweet and savory foods. The strong taste and scent come from cinnamaldehyde. The essential oil of cinnamon bark is around 90% cinnamaldehyde (Wikipedia). Cinnamon trees are generally tropical trees but can be grown in all 50 states simply by bringing the trees indoors before temperatures drop below 40 degrees and also providing an abundant amount of light. Several methods of laboratory production exist, but cinnamaldehyde is most sparingly obtained from the steam distillation of the oil of cinnamon bark.
Brit Amos begins talks about the loss of foods stating that “Commercial beehives pollinate over a third of {North} America’s crops and that web of nourishment encompasses everything from fruits like peaches, apples, cherries, strawberries and more, to nuts like California almonds, 90 percent of which are helped along by the honeybees” (Amos). Honey bees are much more famous for producing honey. However, most people do not know that “the benefits of honey go beyond its great taste” (“Health Benefits of Honey”). For example, “The 3 key health benefits of honey are related to the fact that: 1. Honey is nature's energy booster 2. Honey is a great immunity system builder 3. Honey is a natural remedy for many ailments” (“Health Benefits of Honey”). It is interesting to think that something as small and insignificant as the honey bee can provide us with so many basic needs.
This week I did an apple cinnamon water detox. There was no particular reason for this detox it was actually a coincidence.
