Water & Its Healing Powers
The energy generated by the water in the cells helps transmit
impulses in the nerves. It helps in the formation of a glue-like material that generates
the solid substances in the walls of the cells to be "stuck" to each other. It
transports the chemical substances produced by the brain that carry its messages to
different parts of the body. Just as there are lanes on a main road for different types of
vehicles, chemical substances of the brain are transported in the "water lanes"
along the length of the nerves. Water content in the body influences the functions of the
various proteins and enzymes that are dissolved in it. Cooking For Health: Spinach
Remember Mom’s admonition to eat carrots because they’re good for
your eyes? Mom probably should have promoted spinach instead. Dark green leaves like
spinach, collard greens and kale contain lutein and zeaxanthin, phytochemicals that may
protect your eyes as you age.
A study in the journal of the American Medical Association found that, people 55
and over who ate 5 to 6 servings of spinach or collard greens a week were one-eighth as
likely to suffer from macular degeneration (a leading cause of blindness) as those who ate
one serving or less a month.
How much do you need? Try to eat 5-6 cups a week. |
