You may also wish to learn about the sweet herbal supplement stevia, which millions of people throughout South America and Asia have used as a sweetener for years. Worst-case scenario, add small amounts of maple syrup or raw, washed, organic cane sugar in crystalline form, but please do so only if you do not have medical reasons such as hypoglycemia to avoid them. And please note that many people are just too sensitive to consume any sweeteners at all. | | Experiment with herbs and spices such as cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and nutmeg. In short, be grateful and appreciative that you can choose such delicious, nutritious foods.
15. EXPRESS YOURSELF.
Wow! Kicking sugar can give you incredible mental clarity and acuity. It also can make you more creative. So pen a poem about your sugar relationship. If writing's not your thing, then paint a picture, compose a song, hum a tune, choreograph a dance, knit a sweater, plant some flowers, or doodle. Just find a way that best expresses you. | | In addition, bay leaf, cayenne, cloves, coriander, dry mustard, and ginger can help regulate your blood sugar levels."

Lovejoy: ginger is one of my favorites.
Mike: Aloe vera is one of my favorite herbs, or foods, of all time. I think it's one of the most underrated herbs out there. Why did you decide to put it in?
Lovejoy: Aloe vera is wonderful for blood glucose balancing. It's great for that. It's just so good for the body. There are so many nutrients in it, but what it really helps with is helping extend the antioxidant levels of your body. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Though as food psychologist Paul Rozin points out, the abiding "flavor principles" of a cuisine—whether lemon and olive oil in the Mediterranean, soy sauce and ginger in Asia, or even ketchup in America—make it easier for a culture to incorporate useful new foods that might otherwise taste unacceptably foreign.
Yet more than many other cultural practices, eating is deeply rooted in nature—in human biology on one side and in the natural world on the other. |

See book keywords and concepts | | To prevent gripe, combine senna with carminative herbs such as cinnamon, cardamom, coriander seed, fennel seed, ginger, or peppermint. Overuse may cause laxative dependency, so do not use senna for more than ten days in a row. Large doses or overuse can cause bloody diarrhea, intestinal cramps, nausea, vomiting, and nephritis. Long-term use can cause dehydration and can deplete the body of electrolytes, including potassium, worsening constipation and weakening the muscles.
Senna may cause the urine to become reddish, which is no need for concern. |

Each field was bordered by herbs, including thousands of echinacea plants, turmeric, and green tea plants to enhance soil conservation.
