In Iceland and Lapland angelica stems are cooked as a vegetable. The stems and roots can be candied and made into syrups and jellies or added to fruitcake. They also can be used to season fish. The fresh leaves can be added to salads and soups. The dried leaves are wonderful in baked goods and fruit desserts; their sweetness makes it possible to decrease the amount of refined sugar in the recipe. The oil from the seeds and roots is used in the manufacture of Benedictine, Chartreuse, vermouth, and gin. |

 However, Laurie reported seeing a farm-like house with a cow in the backyard, plus a flower and vegetable garden.
When the experiment was completed, and Laurie and Susy met and had the chance to talk, Susy told us that she did not live in a farmhouse, but there had been a cow in her backyard at one time, and her mother did have a flower and vegetable garden.
Who cared about a cow in the backyard? We, the "scientists" were interested in Betty's picture, not an old cow from Betty's and Susy's past. |

SUPPORTING THE LINKS IN THE ENERGY CYCLE CHAIN?
THE SYNERGY
Clearly, each member of the "Awesome Foursome" is fundamental to cellular energy metabolism in its own right. Each plays a unique and vital role in supplying the heart with the energy it needs to preserve its contractile force. Each is independently effective in helping hearts work through the stress of disease. |

 Using eighty-seven surveys in thirty-three countries, it compared the ratio of vegetable to animal protein consumption to the rate of bone fractures (Chart 10.2).1 A high ratio of vegetable to animal protein consumption was found to be impressively associated with a virtual disappearance of bone fractures.
These studies are compelling for several reasons. They were published in leading research journals, the authors were careful in their analyses and

Other Uses
Coriander seed is one of the traditional bitter herbs of Passover. The seeds, mixed with cumin and vinegar, have been used to preserve meat. During World War II, coriander seeds were coated with sugar and marketed as sugar drops; they were thrown from carnival wagons, but this became considered wasteful, so little balls of paper were substituted, hence the coining of the word confetti, Italian for "sweetmeat." Coriander essential oil is used to flavor toothpaste and scent perfumes and soaps. |

 The darker the vegetable, the more calcium it contains, generally speaking. So, if you want to get a lot of calcium into your diet, you can also consume increasing quantities of these green, leafy vegetables. That would include spinach, kale, broccoli, and of course, all of the popular salad greens, the darker the better.
What about coral calcium? As one reader pointed out to me in an email, coral calcium is essentially ground up limestone powder. And, I tend to agree with that assessment. It's not calcium in a plant form. |

| They include linolenic acid (LNA), found in high concentrations in purslane, a green, leafy vegetable, and flax seed. Eicosapentanoic acid (EPA) and docosahexanoic acid (DHA) are the animal omega-3 fats in fish and fish oils and organ meat.
DHA is your brain's dominant fatty acid; it makes up about 40 percent of the fat in your brain. In research studies, higher levels of DHA and EPA have been associated with a lower incidence of high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, depression, attention deficit disorder, and dementia. Omega-3 fats also improve insulin sensitivity. |
| If you're still dead set on the idea of eating lots of salt, cheese, pasta, cereal, and bread, keep in mind that for good health, you'll have to increase your fruit and vegetable intake by twenty servings! You'd better be hungry because you'll need a cow-size stomach to take in that much food.
Obviously, you can't do it, so the only option is cutting out the acid. The only practical solution is to eliminate low-nutrition foods that produce acid and/or contain bad fats. Also, start eating lean meat instead of processed meats. This means no prepared, preserved meats. |

Stress Management for Lowering
Blood Pressure_
Keeping all the foregoing in mind, we can end the chapter on a positive and constructive note. Stress management techniques are very important for bringing down your blood pressure. Meditation can play a role here, as can destress-ing exercises and techniques, prayer, listening to calm music, going for walks, playing with your companion pets, spending quality time in your relationships without arguing, and pursuing hobbies or anything that can bring you joy during the day—or night, for that matter! |

 The same thing has happened with the vegetable known as goya (bitter melon), come to think of it. Goya looks like a wart-covered cucumber. It's bitter as hell. Its juice is actually an astringent, the kind of food that makes you wince. But it contains high amounts of antioxidants and three compounds that lower blood sugar. Are Okinawans eating goya because it holds some kind of primal appeal to human taste buds? I don't think so."

| I prepare vegetable juices and powdered drinks with pure water. I am vegan and use appropriate supplements. I practice aerobics during the a.m. hours and yoga later in the day. I use an exercise bike, power walk, and run. The behavioral aspect of the program opened me up to self-analysis personally and objectively. Establishing goals over the years led to my very successful business in a health-related industry. I am trim, firm, look better as I age, and still read Gary's books.

 A short fast of three days' duration, especially one that features freshly prepared vegetable juices, can be most beneficial to the body and is an excellent way to jump-start your cleansing program. Eat a light meal for dinner the night before you begin your juice fast. Try combining leafy greens such as spinach with a juicy green such as cucumber in a base of carrot juice. The addition of garlic or fresh ginger will enhance the therapeutic value (and taste) of your creation. |

| Most nut, seed, and vegetable oils—the oils used to make processed foods?are rich in omega-6 polyunsaturated fats, which are almost always made into the chemicals that promote inflammation. Eating refined flour and sugar pushes more of the omega-6 fats you eat into the making of those inflammatory chemicals. This is one reason why refined flour and sugar are so bad for your health in so many ways. Also, if you're eating lots of margarine and food fried in corn oil, you're increasing the inflammation in your body. Modern diets tend to be quite high in the omega-6 fats and very low in omega-3 s. |
| Aside from GLA from borage oil, which is used as a supplement (oatmeal is another good source), the omega-6 fatty acids found in meat, milk, vegetable oils, seeds, and nuts are rarely scarce in the standard American diet. In fact, although we need them for good health, most of us are consuming too many.
Most of us eat about twenty times more omega-6 fatty acids than omega-3s in products like cereals, whole-grain bread, baked goods, fried foods, margarine, and others. |

| Avoid any bars containing hydrogenated vegetable oils. Look instead for high-oleic sunflower oil, a stable oil that is rich in essential fatty acids.
Shakes: For a filling, meal-like shake, look for a mix that provides 10 grams of fiber (from acacia) per serving, and a decent amount of protein (around 20 grams) from a rich source, such as whey, as well as an array of important vitamins and minerals and an enzyme blend designed to ensure digestion of all classes of foods. Avoid any shakes that contain artificial sugar substitutes. |

The Mess in Mercury and the MercOut Solution
Your mother was right to be terrified of breaking the fever thermometer when you were a little kid and those little shiny, silvery beads would spill out. It may look harmless, but mercury is poisonous to every living thing on earth. Mercury contamination is so pernicious in America that health advisories for pregnant women or women who want to become pregnant are in effect in forty states. |

 These devils that stimulate inflammatory cascades throughout the body are found in vegetable oils and prepared foods like potato chips. Being gluttons as so many people are, you can imagine then that a lot of us are on fire with high inflammation.
Our diets are so rich in prepared foods that they are thought to cause a whole host of health problems, including arthritis, Alzheimer's, cancer, and diabetes. One of the remedies is to change our diets and use more of what nature has given us: the omega-3 fatty acids. |

| Expect to see flex-fuel Suburbans that run on Nebraska and Illinois corn and switchgrass; diesel trucks running on vegetable oil; hydrogen-powered sedans; and, of course, hybrids, which represent the first major breakthrough since the Stanley steamer.
Actually, let's get off our high horse. America is way behind Brazil. In Brazil, the nation's millions of vehicles almost all run on nonpolluting and non-greenhouse gas emitting sugarcane fuel. Of course, Brazil grows a lot of sugarcane, a lot more than we can. |

| They lived in simple thatched-hut communities ringed by vegetable gardens, fruit trees, and, farther out, milpas (fields of corn and beans). There, using slash-and-burn agriculture, they grew maize and many kinds of beans. They were mostly subsistence farmers, but they also depended on wild game and fish. Like other Mesoamerican cultures, the Chorotega were religious and apparently lived low-stress lives. And according to him, their influence was still alive.
"You see it over and over again; these people have Chorotega ancestry," he said, making a characteristic chopping motion with his hand. |
| The grandmother tended the vegetable garden. The grandfather carried wood from the hills. The idea of retirement never occurred to the Okinawan peasant. To this day there's not a word for it in their language.
Things improved a little in 1605 when an Okinawan brought the sweet potato back with him from China. This hardy miracle tuber thrived just fine in Okinawa's stingy soil and weathered its typhoons and monsoons. It was a boon for peasants, quickly becoming a staple. |
| Inland, enormous vegetable gardens ringed the villages and old people wearing enormous conical hats bent over their crops. The air smelled like things ripening.
Kamada Nakazato's home was typical of those in the region—equal parts fortress and cozy enclave. Surrounded by a low, coral-rack wall, the house was somewhat sunken, with a steep, slanted roof—all architectural defenses against the half-dozen or so typhoons that blow in from the seas during Okinawa's typhoon season. |
