Grapes for your Health

“And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they made him drink water;12 And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins: and when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him: for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights.” – I Samuel 30:11 – 12

The argument for red wine is strong among some believers largely because of the acclaimed health benefits. Red wines have been so proclaimed as having healthy benefits because of its resveratrol content. Resveratrol is a polyphenol that is very beneficial to the human heart as shown by various studies.

A bottle of wine has about 12mg of resveratrol at most and animal studies reveal that about 500mg of resveratrol is required for a daily dose which will mean an average of 40 bottles of wine must be consumed to achieve the healthy required dosage.

However, resveratrol are found in red and purple grapes. They are anti-oxidants who handle free radicals and are able to help cell maintenance as well as prevent diseases like cancers especially those of the lungs, colon, and esophageal. Resveratrol taken moderately will help in your weight management as they make fat cells disintegrate at a high rate.

Very common among the benefit of resveratrol is the benefit to the human heart. It does help the dilation of blood vessel thereby helping easy passage of blood. It lowers blood pressure by relaxing the walls of blood vessels causing a mild extension in diameter.

One of its greatest benefits is its ability to handle inflammation. It is also a brain-healthy food as it helps blood flow to the brain.

The story from the above scripture was that of a man who had been sick for three days without food and left to die by his master. David found him and needed him alive to help in restoring all the enemies had carted away. Among the several things that was administered to the young man were raisins. Raisins are dried grapes.

Many people are familiar with raisins in cake and bread but do not know of their ability to boost energy. In place of glucose D given to athletes, raisins come in handy for that instant energy. The nutrients in raisins are concentrated because they are dehydrated grapes making them a rich source of iron, potassium and B vitamins.

God has provided for all that we would need for life and sound health.

PARENTS ALERT: FOOD & DIET AFFECTS YOUR CHILD’S BEHAVIOR AND LEARNING

By
This topic is a response to several demands and enquiry as regards the role food plays in behaviors, moods, addictions, etc. Special attention will be given to what parents should watch out for especially as children are returning to school. Our food has changed so drastically in the last few decades it is no wonder that food-related behavior and learning problems in children are increasing. What is clear is that children not only behave better but concentrate better, follow instructions better, and remember more when they eat healthier food. It should be noted that concentration, following instructions, and memory are fundamental building blocks of the learning process and vital for success at school. Moms and Dads certainly intend to do the best for their children, and part of this can mean feeding them “regular food” that won’t set their children apart from their friends. But in doing so, our children are being sabotaged in ways that make it difficult for them to ...

Ebola, Colloidal Silver & Nano Silver

By
A colloid is a substance in which particles of one kind (nano-micros in measure, so tiny) are dispersed throughout a medium of some other kind. “Colloidal silver is a suspension of silver particles in a colloidal base” – Food & Drug Administration (FDA) It is important to note that Nano-silver is a type of colloidal mineral which due to its anti-microbial activities, have been incorporated into many consumer products. These products include dietary supplements, laundry detergents, body soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, disinfectant sprays, kitchen utensils, clothing and children’s toys. The use of colloidal silver dates back to 1938. Before the invention of antibacterial soap, colloidal silver was used as a disinfectant. It is still most commonly used to kill bacteria. Silver is effective at both preventing and combating bacterial illnesses and infections because it does not corrode making it an effective choice of cookware though expensive. Ancient Greeks realised th...
