hope u find this useful....
told again and again thru our generations and recently recognized in the western
world!!
1. FRESH GARLIC or pickled garlic is a natural antibiotic, a
blood sugar regulator, and also works like a thermogenic in
your body. It boosts metabolism and keeps insulin levels low
to maximize fat burning.  Cool huh?
2. EDAMAME (Soybeans) contain lecithin, which can help your
body to keep your cells from accumulating phat. You can
steam them or there are even dried or roasted snacking
versions that are great when you're on the go.
3. APPLES & BERRIES are a delicious source of pectin, which
limits the amount of fat your cells absorb because of its
water-binding properties. 
4. GINGER expands your blood vessels and can increase your
metabolism by nearly 20%. It also detoxifies your body as it
stimulates circulation throughout.
5. CINNAMON helps your body to metabolize sugar about 20
times faster and lower your body's blood-sugar levels, which
will help keep fat off.  And all it takes is about 1/4 of a
teaspoon added to your meal or snack. Try sprinkling some on
some apple slices and you have a LEAN BODY DYNAMIC DUO!
6. CAYENNE PEPPER is one of the best fat-burning spices,
burning calories by triggering a thermodynamic burn that
lasts hours after eating.  Use sparingly if you are
sensitive to spicy food.
Eating Fruit - this opened my eyes.
Dr Stephen Mak is a friend of mine at the BSF course. He told me he treats terminal ill
cancer patients by "un-orthodox" way and many patients recovered. He explains to
me before he is using solar energy to clear the illnesses of his patients.  He believes
on natural healing in the body against illnesses. See the article below.

Dear Shereen, 
Thanks for the email on fruits and juices. It is one of the strategies to heal cancer. As
of late, my success rate in curing cancer is about 80%. Cancer patients shouldn't die.
The cure for cancer is already found. It is whether you believe it or not? I am sorry for
the hundreds of cancer patients who die under the conventional treatments.. Very few
can live for 5 years under the convenctional treatments and most live for only about 2
to 3 years. The conventional treatments do not make any difference because most
cancer patients also live for about 2 to 3 years without undergoing any treatment. It
is difficult to cure those cancer patients  who have undergone chemo and
radiotherapy as their cells are toxic and weak. When there is a relapse, the cancer will
spread very fast as the resistance is poor. 
Thanks and God bless. 
Dr Stephen Mak  
                              
              EATING FRUIT...              
             It's long but very informative 
                           � 
   We all think eating fruits means just
buying fruits, cutting it and just popping it
 into our mouths.. It's not as easy as you
     think. It's important to know how
              andwhen to eat. 
                           � 
  What is the correct way of eating fruits? 
                           � 
IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUITS AFTER
 YOUR MEALS! * FRUITS SHOULD BE
   EATEN ON AN EMPTY STOMACH. 
                           � 
    If you eat fruit like that, it will play a
     major role to detoxify your system,
 supplying you with a great deal of energy
  for weight loss and other life activities. 
                           � 
   FRUIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT
  FOOD. Let's say you eat two slices of
bread and then a slice of fruit. The slice of
 fruit is ready to go straight through the
   stomach into the intestines, but it is
         prevented from doing so.. 
                       � 
 In the meantime the whole meal rots and
ferments and turns to acid. The minute the
  fruit comes into contact with the food in
    the stomach and digestive juices, the
   entire mass of food begins to spoil.... 
                       � 
         So please eat your fruits on
  an empty stomach or before your meals!
   You have heard people complaining —
 every time I eat watermelon I burp, when
I eat durian my stomach bloats up, when I
    eat a banana I feel like running to the
toilet, etc — actually all this will not arise if
   you eat the fruit on an empty stomach.
  The fruit mixes with the putrefying other
 food and produces gas and hence you will
                    bloat! 
                       � 
 Graying hair, balding,  nervous outburst,
 and dark circles under the eyes all these
 will NOT happen if you take fruits on an
             empty stomach. 
                       � 
There is no such thing as some fruits, like
orange and lemon are acidic, because all
    fruits become alkaline in our body,
according to Dr. Herbert Shelton who did
   research on this matter. If you have
mastered the correct way of eating fruits,
you have the Secret of beauty, longevity,
  health, energy, happiness and normal
                 weight. 
                     � 
When you need to drink fruit juice - drink
 only fresh fruit juice, NOT from the cans.
   Don't even drink juice that has been
    heated up.. Don't eat cooked fruits
because you don't get the nutrients at all.
You only get to taste. Cooking destroys all
               the vitamins. 
                     � 
    But eating a whole fruit is better than
 drinking the juice. If you should drink the
juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly,
    because you must let it mix with your
 saliva before swallowing it. You can go on
   a 3-day fruit fast to cleanse your body.
      Just eat fruits and drink fruit juice
   throughout the 3 days and you will be
  surprised when your friends tell you how
               radiant you look! 
                     � 
  KIWI: Tiny but mighty. This is a good
source of potassium, magnesium, vitamin
 E & fiber. Its vitamin C content is twice
            that of an orange. 
                     � 
 APPLE: An apple a day keeps the doctor
away? Although an apple has a low vitamin
C content, it has antioxidants & flavonoids
 which enhances the activity of vitamin C
thereby helping to lower the risks of colon
     cancer, heart attack & stroke. 
                     � 
     STRAWBERRY: Protective Fruit.
   Strawberries have the highest total
 antioxidant power among major fruits &
  protect the body from cancer-causing,
   blood vessel-clogging free radicals. 
                     � 
ORANGE: Sweetest medicine. Taking 2-4
oranges a day may help keep colds away,
   lower cholesterol, prevent & dissolve
kidney stones as well as lessens the risk of
              colon cancer. 
                     � 
WATERMELON: Coolest thirst quencher.
Composed of 92% water, it is also packed
   with a giant dose of glutathione, which
helps boost our immune system. They are
also a key source of lycopene — the cancer
 fighting oxidant. Other nutrients found in
  watermelon are vitamin C & Potassium. 
                      � 
    GUAVA & PAPAYA: Top awards for
 vitamin C. They are the clear winners for
their high vitamin C content. Guava is also
     rich in fiber, which helps prevent
 constipation. Papaya is rich in carotene;
         this is good for your eyes. 
                      � 
   Drinking Cold water after a meal =
  Cancer! Can u believe this?? For those
who like to drink cold water, this article is
 applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup
  of cold drink after a meal. However, the
  cold water will solidify the oily stuff that
you have just consumed. It will slow down
   the digestion. Once this 'sludge' reacts
  with the acid, it will break down and be
 absorbed by the intestine faster than the
  solid food. It will line the intestine. Very
  soon, this will turn into fats and lead to
    cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or
        warm water after a meal. 
                    � 
 A serious note about heart attacks HEART
   ATTACK PROCEDURE': (THIS IS NOT A
JOKE!) Women should know that not every
  heart attack symptom is going to be the
 left arm hurting. Be aware of intense pain
  in the jaw line. You may never have the
    first chest pain during the course of a
heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating
are also common symptoms. Sixty percent
  of people who have a heart attack while
   they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in
the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep.
  Let's be careful and be aware. The more
     we know the better chance we could
                    survive.
