~The Beautiful Lilikoi

With 82 Degree Weather today, all I could think of is Lilikoi Juice!
Lilikoi, my very favorite fruit, is the Hawaiian Name for the Gorgeous Delicious Passion Fruit.
From the Vine The Lilikoi Flower Opens and Awaits the Bee , and then the Magic of the Passion Fruit Begins, much like the Lotus, it’s essence is not fully realized until the fruit has been opened and becomes one with the senses.

Honey has a long history of healing. It’s been used for centuries for its healing properties, as well as its sweetness.
People use it to bake with. It requires you to use less heat. Its tasty flavor is one reason many people prefer it over table sugar. Besides that, honey is much sweeter than regular table sugar and better for you.
It’s best if you buy locally grown organic raw honey whenever you can. Locally grown because it’s produced by bees which are from the environment in which you live. It is always best to grow or consume foods from the area in which you live as they contain the immune stimulating properties needed for your body to adapt to its environment.
Fresh raw honey will also be tastier, and more potent. And, when you buy from local independent farmers you help keep them in business, which is good for your economy.

Health Benefits of Honey
As a healing remedy, raw honey can address multiple issues. There are far more benefits of honey than I will include here. Scientific research is ongoing surrounding the benefits of this remarkable substance. I’ve included some interesting benefits that you may not know about.

A wholesome diet, rich in silica, calcium and iron, will help reduce or prevent hair loss. Green, leafy vegetables, especially sea vegetables, are good mineral sources. Raw oats provide silica. Dried fruits and cherry juice are rich sources of iron.

Just watched this last night and what a great documentary!

Food Inc. lifts the veil on the food industry, exposing how our food supply is now controlled by a handful of corporations that often put profit ahead of consumer health, the livelihood of the farmer, the safety of workers and our own environment. This film reveals the shocking truth about what we eat, how it is produced and who we have become as a society. It will make you think twice before hitting the drive through next time!!

Here's the movie trailer, you can also visit their website for more information about the issue.

Those super-heavy, "all-natural" loaves of bread may look and sound like they're healthy, but their density signals that they probably contain more calories than most other loaves. Plus, they're typically made with simple sugars like high-fructose corn syrup, dextrose, and maltose that will add even more calories.

If you're watching your weight and wondering, "Can I eat bread?"--don't despair. I'm here to tell you that you really can have your bread and eat it too without automatically putting on weight. There's a simple rule--the weight and starch connection--that will help you choose a loaf wisely.
