YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT - The Truth
Modern science has currently proven that man must strive to live his life by concentrating on the consuming of the products that heal the body and that prolong and sustain life.
Put simply, plants and animals are God's creative constituents provided to man for the maintenance of himself and the provision of his life long neads.
One of my most recent creative works is this compilation titled THE WELLNESS BOOK OF NATURAL REMEDIES. It contains more than 200 varied plant based remedies and recipes for various types of challenges that people, particularly in poverty ridden areas as in Africa, might need to attend to.
I want to put it on record that my interest in providing succour for the less privileged particularly in body-care related areas began more than 20 years ago after I had read the book titled 'Where There is No Doctor.' I can't now recall the author's name.
THE BACKDROP:
To gather knowledge, I attended beauty and body-care institutions of learning in Nigeria and in the UK. Between 1979 and 1980 I attended the Revlon School in Lagos and obtained an Honours diploma and best all round student award. In 1982 I also attended short beauty-care courses in Britain on galvanic, ozone and high frequency body treatments.
Training was supplemented by programmed tours around Nigeria as a member of the National Committee on Food and Nutrition (NCFN. 1995 -2004) and a member of the National Committee on Aids (NACA. 2002-2004).
These experiences formed the backdrop for the production of a number of personal publications and the documentation of cooking and consuming patterns for governmental campaign programmings on food sufficiency and poverty eradication.
My Personal Recommendation - THE FOUR POWERFU HEALING PLANTS:
These are:
1. Never Die ( otherwise known as Resurrection plant, wonder of the world plant, known as agbamoda in Yoruba and odaa-opue in Igbo. Botanical name is Bryophyllum pinnalum.
2. Paw-paw leaves and fruit.
3. Moringa plant.
4. African Mulberry ( botanical name is Morris Alba, also called olape, assei, ewe sour in Nigeria.
THEIR USES:
Health benefits - the 4 plants help with diabetes support, lower high blood pressure, reduce cholesterol levels, and generally cleanse the sustem.Never-die is particularly good for persons with stroke, fits and seizures as it promotes calm nerves and sleep.
These 4 plants taken regularly as a drink or a tea will help reduce the impact of cancer.
I have used them for over 30 years. I'm in my 80s and wondering how I made it to this age despite the many challenges.
Expect some more facts.
But I have the book that contains all these facts and much more. It addresses the nature and use of many plants and products from an A to Z perspective. THE WELLNESS BOOK OF NATURAL REMEDIES - MAke Your Food Your Medicine.
