"This is the day that the Lord hath made! Let us rejoice and be glad in it!" *love*
Breakfast: coffee with stevia and 1/2 & 1/2, a few grapes, hemp seeds, Smoothie (containing fruit mixture, blueberries, 1/2 banana, low fat organic yogurt, aloe Vera juice, chick peas with Balsamic V.... I am also drinking my water with lemon juice in it again....
Aloe Vera juice:
A friend of mine (who struggles with her health but continues to do her own study on what can help her) claims drinking some of this every day helped her to have the strength to get through a difficult family time). Since then I have been curious about it. Also all of a sudden I realized that a well-known supplement that truly appears to have helped many people (and they have the research behind it, a patent and excellent Scientific explanations....)...this supplement's main ingredient is Aloe Verra. Now my question is that their product may not be as complicated as they make it appear? Many other companies claim the same incredible healing stories. Though some may not be able to claim the Scientific research and can not give as amazing an explanation as to why it works I'm thinking they are all doing similar things by accident and that is why the success. Just my wonderings :rolleyes: ....You are probably miles ahead of me and have probably thought of this before...
I desire the healing that these companies claim but I can't afford to pay for their product. Some are much cheaper then others but still "Food is the best Medicine" and I would rather receive my healing in that way.....though it is taking me too long and I may need some help. One of the things I have thought of besides having my own garden would be harvesting edible weeds which I have read are very dense in nutrition.....life keeps getting in the way though and I haven't been able to get back to my gardening or try eating and harvesting weeds. :) Though not the best and expensive at some point MAYBE will I have to supplement with a companies answer to my health?
I hope I am not being controversial here....just my thoughts. ;)
Back to Aloe Verra - I have done some reading lately of how wonderful the healing properties of this plant is! It is truly incredible so I have decided to buy what is advised....99.9% pure, organic and cold pressed and add it to my smoothies. :happy:
Snack: chick peas marinated in Balsamic V. mixture, apple.
oops! :wacko: small chocolate bar with almonds.....and it was not worth it! It really didn't taste that good!
