Though fruits and vegetables are extremely rich in nutrients, did you know that they can be sabotaged? Yes, in fact they have a built in sabotage mechanism, in the form of fiber. Though fiber is an important part of your diet, it can become troublesome when it impairs absorption of the numerous phytochemicals found in plant foods. The best way to counter this? Consume good fat. By doing so, the fat acts as a carrier molecule, helping transport fat soluble nutrients that would have otherwise gone to waste. This explains the very common scenario of nutrient deficiency that occurs in people who restrict fat intake, or are on primarily vegan diets.......What is Avocado?
There is seemingly no end to the long list of health benefits avocado is capable of delivering, making it truly one of the best fruits on the planet. Yes, the versatile avocado is a fruit, being one of the very care fatty fruits found on the planet. From its utility in numerous recipes, to its creamy and delicious taste, everyone can benefit from increasing their consumption of avocado.
Did you know that the word Avocado actually originated from the Nahuatl language spoken by the Aztecs and meant testicle? If you stop to think of it, there is a reason to this, as we will mention below.
15 Impressive Health Benefits of Avocado
Avocado health benefits
1. Avocado Can Function As Aphrodisiacs
Yes, as was briefly mentioned above, the word avocado originated from the Aztec people and meant testicle. The reason behind this? Avocados were believed to be strong aphrodisiacs. Even though they are not true aphrodisiacs in the sense of the word, they were definitely on to something. Avocados are rich in saturated fat, which is important in the synthesis of testosterone. It is no coincidence that modern diets that seek to actively restrict fat intake coincide with lowest testosterone levels, and with it, low sex drive. So indirectly, avocados are indeed aphrodisiacs.
2. Hold Promise In Treating Arthritis
Chronic osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are both debilitating diseases that cause extreme discomfort to individuals that suffer from them. Though over the counter pain medication can offer short term relief from symptoms, they can hardly be considered a permanent solution. Enter the ever willing avocado, in whom a compound was found that could help offer relief from pain and inflammation of arthritic conditions. Though it is unclear how much you need to consume to see these effects, having an avocado per day could also support your efforts to relieve pain, as fat can help to cushion the tissue between joints.
3. Helps With Diabetes Management
Diabetes control is tough, with not many foods offering decent support. Many people try to find better carbohydrate sources, but often that alone is insufficient. However, avocados are not your average carbohydrate heavy fruit, as they contain lots of good fat, which acts to slow the absorption of sugar into the blood stream. Since type 2 diabetics also have poor insulin sensitivities, it is a good course of action to slow down the speed of absorption to allow insulin a greater time to process the carbs.
4. Promote Skin Health
If you think you suffer from dry skin, or think your skin health could be better, avocados can become your best friends. Avocados are loaded with skin friendly fats, and the antioxidant vitamin C and vitamin E. vitamin C is also involved in the synthesis of collagen, ensuring that skin is kept looking healthy and supple for years to come. Fat in avocados help reinforce the structural barrier of the skin, so that moisture is not lost at a fast rate.
5. Avocados Can Help You Lose Weight
We all can probably do with a little bit of weight loss, so every single thing helps. When it comes to fat, many people are scared, and misinformed. Fats will not necessarily cause you to gain weight, even though they yield more calories per gram when compared with the other macronutrients. Avocados, however, can help reduce your appetite and suppresses your overall caloric intake over the course of the day. Plus, when included in meals, you are likely to be satisfied for a far long time, opposed to having a meal without ample fat.
6. Avocados Are Fiber Rich
Many people fail to get enough fiber in their diets today, for one reason or another. Frequently, it occurs as a result of eating too many processed foods, and not consuming enough whole foods. If you dislike vegetables, there is still hope. Avocados contain both of the essential fiber; soluble and insoluble. Soluble fiber plays an important role in supporting the microbiome of our gut, while insoluble fiber helps support regularity. Both have important roles to play, so it is important that you get both every day.
7. Can Improve Cholesterol Profiles
Though eating a poor diet, compounded with low quality fats and sugars is the fast way to developing heart disease, not all fats are bad. In fact, fats are essential and necessary for good health, including the health of your heart, and keeping cholesterol values normal. Regular consumption of avocados help to improve the good aspect of your cholesterol, known as HDL, and lower the aspects that you want to keep down, such as LDL and triglycerides. If you suffer from hyperlipidemia, it is a good idea to consume healthy fats such as avocados, while simultaneously reducing artificial fats and carbohydrates to see maximal benefit.
8. Bolster Absorption of Plant Based Nutrients
Though fruits and vegetables are extremely rich in nutrients, did you know that they can be sabotaged? Yes, in fact they have a built in sabotage mechanism, in the form of fiber. Though fiber is an important part of your diet, it can become troublesome when it impairs absorption of the numerous phytochemicals found in plant foods. The best way to counter this? Consume good fat. By doing so, the fat acts as a carrier molecule, helping transport fat soluble nutrients that would have otherwise gone to waste. This explains the very common scenario of nutrient deficiency that occurs in people who restrict fat intake, or are on primarily vegan diets.
9. Good for Improving Eye Health
Avocados boost absorption of nutrients that are important to good health, but are also rich in the eyes’ preferred anti-oxidants, lutein and zeaxanthin. These anti-oxidants have demonstrated the ability to reduce the development of cataracts, slow down degeneration of the muscles and nerves of the eyes, and can improve night vision. These become even more important the older we get.
10. Contain Essential Folic Acid
Folic acid is important for DNA replication in all humans, but is even more important during pregnancy. It is advised that all women consume a supplement enhanced with folic acid, but avocados are an excellent source. Folic acid helps prevent the development of deformities in the womb, such as a condition called spina bifida.
11. Promote Healthy Liver Function
The liver is one of your most important organs. Even though it is self-regenerating, that does not mean that you can take it for granted. The best way to support your hard working liver is to help it function optimally. Avocados can help reduce symptoms of fatty liver disease that are caused by elevated cholesterol and blood triglycerides as well. In addition, avocados can boost synthesis of the body’s most powerful anti-oxidant glutathione to help safeguard you from free radicals.
12. Avocados Can Prevent Bad Breath
Avocados contain flavonoids which combat bacterial and fungal overgrowth in the mouth, effectively reducing the likelihood of halitosis occurring. In that same vein, they can also help prevent festering of mouth ulcers.
13. Promote Healing of Wounds
Avocados can help speed up the healing of wounds, by modulating immune system activity. Ensuring that recruitment occurs in a timely fashion helps overall healing by cutting down recovery time.
14. Avocado Can Promote Good Mood
Thanks once again to its folic acid density, avocados can counter the effects of the compound homocysteine. Homocysteine depletes production of dopamine and serotonin, neurotransmitters which promote sense of well-being.
15. Promote Bone Health
Bone tissue requires the minerals calcium, zinc, magnesium, potassium and Vitamin D and Vitamin K for proper formation. Avocados contain all these nutrients, but in particular Vitamin K, which is not found in many foods. Regular consumption of avocados, along with exercise, will promote healthy bone density.
HOW YOUR CELLS USE LIGHT TO COMMUNICATE

“Your body is woven from the light of Heaven.” ~Rumi
Have you ever wondered what makes the difference between a living and non-living process? What makes us “alive” instead of just machines or robots acting out commands? What is the life force, or what ancient philosophers called the “animus”? It is light, and this is the fundamental method by which your cells and DNA communicate.
After all, a cell contains the same components when it is alive and when it is dead. The same molecules and structures are there, but what gives the cell life? What allows an average human being to become the accumulation of 10 trillion cells communicating in a precise way every second to every molecule in our bodies?
What’s more, every few seconds more than 10 million cells die, and in order to prevent entropic decay, more cells must be created to sustain our life force. Make no mistake. This is a massive undertaking. A mere machine could never pull it off. This is also why so many drugs fail to heal the body, because they do not work at the level of light – the speed of light, more specifically.
Chemical messaging to orchestrate this incredible show would be far too slow. Russian scientist, Alexander Gurwitsch, a contemporary of Vladimir Vernadsky and Fritz Alfred Popp have all pointed to the need for cells to be able to communicate at the speed of light for our bodies to even function.
“We are still on the threshold of fully understanding the complex relationship between light and life, but we can now say emphatically, that the function of our entire metabolism is dependent on light.” ~Dr. Fritz Albert Popp
It was Alexander Gurwitsch who, while working on onion roots in his lab 1923, discovered that the roots could stimulate a neighboring plant’s roots if the two adjacent plants were in quartz glass pots. The same effect did not happen if the plants were contained in silicon. It turned out that the quartz filtered certain UV wavelengths that the silicon did not, thus allowing communication between biological entities.
Popp later experimented with UV light to further understand what Gurwitsch had discovered. Performing 37 different tests on chemicals – some that caused cancer and some that did not.
In every instance, the compounds that he found to be carcinogenic took the UV light, absorbed it and changed or scrambled the frequency. This is what happens to our DNA when we eat poor quality food, are repeatedly subjected to negative emotions, listen to DNA-harming music, television, etc. or even endure an onslaught of chemical toxicity in our air, water, and soil due to corporate polluting. These elements scramble or confuse the light signals being communicated by our cells.
What Popp also found was that these cancer-causing compounds all had one thing in common. Each of the carcinogens reacted only to light at a specific frequency — 380 nm (nanometres) in the ultra-violet range. Popp was curious as to why light could act as a scrambler of information, until he discovered that it could also repair cells.
Specifically, Popp discovered that Ultraweak Photon Emission (UPE) or Biophoton Emission (BPE) refers to the phenomenon of constant and spontaneous emission of light from all biological systems including humans due to metabolic activities, without excitation or enhancement.
This occurs in the visible and UV part of the electromagnetic spectrum at very low intensities, on the order of 10-16 – 10-18 W/cm2.
The coherent emission of bio-photons is connected to energy and information transfer processes in any biological organism, and has been linked to the function of DNA and gene regulation.
Reprogramming your DNA is about allowing coherent electromagnetic communication to happen within your own biology and the living, breathing Intelligence of the Universe. By choking your cells with pharmaceutical drugs, depression medication, or even highly processed, genetically modified food, you are inhibiting speed-of-light communication between the perfect fractal universe and your body.
The repair of DNA and therefore, your cells, is all about allowing coherent light to regulate biorhythms, homeostasis, and every single metabolic process in your body. Those 10 trillion cells know what they are doing. Your DNA already understands perfectly how to communicate correctly, all that is needed is to take that which impedes this communication out of the picture. Get the picture?

FARMER CONVERTS 40,000 ACRES INTO LARGEST ORGANIC FARM IN CANADA

In what could possibly be the world’s largest agricultural feat, Canadian farmer Travis Heide is in the process of converting his 40,000-acre farm entirely to organic.
Heide’s farm is large enough to produce 2,200,000 bushels of wheat per year. Although he has been mostly quiet about his transition to organic, his company Organics Canada Ltd. is set to boom as he will begin producing oats, lentils, peas, wheat and hemp all organically.
Currently, the farm is half-organic and half-conventionally grown, but by 2020 Travis plans to convert his entire farm to organic.
“We’ll be 75 percent organic in 2019, and if we don’t add anything else, in 2020 we’ll be 100 percent organic.” ~Travis Heide
The size and ambition of his operation is even more impressive considering Heide just started farming full-time in 2014.
“I have never heard of anything like that…The biggest one I’ve heard of before is maybe 20,000 [acres].” ~Laura Telford, Organic Development Specialist, Manitoba Agriculture
In his early years, Travis grew up working on his parents’ farm near Moosomin, Saskatchewan, with his four younger brothers. He later earned a business degree from the University of Saskatchewan and soon thereafter took a job with a commodity trading firm and eventually started his own grain trading company.
When Heide’s father decided to retire from farming, he offered his sons to take over his farm. However, they each declined and he ended up selling the family farm, only for Heide to later move to South Sudan, Africa, to start his own.
When Travis moved back to Canada he met Robert Andjelic, a Businessman in Calgary, who asked him to manage about 7,000 acres of farmland near Waldron and Whitewood, which he seeded with the help of his brother Garret.
“He puts his nose to the grindstone… He doesn’t give up until the job is done. That’s what impressed me.” ~Robert Andjelic
After buying another parcel of land around Stockholm, Heide was asked to manage it, but decided instead to farm organically because the land wasn’t previously tainted by the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizer.
When Travis is finished converting his farm to organic, it will likely become the largest organic farm in Canada and North America, nearly out doing the entire province of Manitoba, which has about 50,000 acres of farmland dedicated to organic agriculture.
Heide soon realized that growing organically was far more economical than growing conventionally.
“Conventional doesn’t make sense unless you have the best land in the area… In organic, our costs were far lower, and because the value was up there, it just made sense.” ~Travis Heide
His three daughters and wife Amy Heide keep him inspired to work hard and make a difference by providing people with healthy, organic food.
“I remember saying, ‘you can’t do it just because of money. You have to believe in it in order for it to work.” ~Amy Heide
Whether that argument convinced Travis is beside the point because although he says it modestly, what he wants to communicate with this project is that the status quo that you can’t mass produce organic crops has been broken.
“There’s a whole bunch of status quos these days: you can’t start a farm from scratch nowadays, you can’t do a large organic farm because there’s too much tillage…[But] if we can create opportunity for other people, create employment … that’s what we’re excited about.” ~Travis Heide
As Heide continues with his venture to create the largest farm of sustainable, organic crops, he is slowly creating a future where the best practices of mass organic food production can be discovered and people can have greater access to food that is better for their health and the environment.

Is organic food better for you than other food?
12 July 2017 / by Girls Just Wanna Have Bling
The best way to improve your health is to eat more healthily and to get more exercise – this is often repeated, but do we even know what eating healthily is anymore? With the vast array of weight loss diets around, and the numerous supplements available, does anyone even care if anything makes organic food better for you?
Organic foods are becoming more prevalent and showing up in all sorts of stores from farmer’s markets to big box retail stores. While organic foods are often purchased at a higher cost due to the health claims that are tied to these food items, many question whether organic foods are healthier than other food options. There is still much debate on this and many different factors that impact the decision of whether or not you should purchase organic food or stick with other forms of food. Many of these factors are hotly contested as well as the reasonableness of defining what organic food is.
What Is Organic Food?
Organic food is food that is grown without the use of pesticides, irradiation, and other artificial substances. Having said that, the designation of what is organic will vary significantly from country to country and, generally speaking, food that is grown by an individual is not considered to be organic, even if no pesticides are used to grow it, due to the lack of regulation surrounding it. While organic food may need to be defined when it is resold, a looser interpretation of what is organic involves food grown without using pesticides, artificial hormones, and sometimes not using genetically modified ingredients as part of the growing process.
Differing Views on Nutrition
The world is very split on reaching their nutritional needs. While portions of the third world experience problems receiving a minimal number of calories per day, portions of the first world nations often suffer from the health side effects of too many calories which can result in being overweight, having heart diseases, and other weight-related illnesses like gout.
People in each of these extremes have differing views on the food that they consume. One group is often concerned with increasing their calories while the other is looking to reduce their calories and is less concerned with having nutritional shortfalls.
Studies, to date, have not shown that there is a difference between the nutritional content of organic and non-organic food. In other words, foods will contain the same calories, nutrients, and vitamin whether they are organic or not. As such, the lack of additional nutritional benefits that first world nations receive from organic food is not the primary concern for eating it, while in third world nations the increased cost, lower yield, and lack of additional calories would be a concern. Understanding the perspective of each group will help to better analyze if organic food is healthy for individuals and there are likely different responses to this question depending on who you are.
While many will indicate that organic food may not have added health benefits or ill health effects, if organic food reduces the quantity of food that you consume due to lower yield and higher cost, this can have positive or negative health effects depending on whether you are over or underweight.
Long-Term Impact of Pesticides and Hormones
The major health benefit that many people cite as relating to organic food is not due to the improved nutrition of food, but rather in the absence of substances like pesticides and added hormones that can harm your health. The challenge for scientists attempting to understand how damaging these substances are, and therefore how beneficial organic alternatives are, is the lack of consensus on the long-term impact of these substances.
Some pesticides have been banned both for the negative impact it has on the environment as well as for the chance that they will prove to be cancerous to those who eat foods treated with these pesticides. While the other alternative pesticides are deemed to not have the same ill effects on your health as the banned ones, science often identifies new risks and problems as it learns more about the impact of these substances and chemicals on the human body. While organic food has a longer track record for judgment, non-organic food as treated with varying pesticides and hormones have a shorter track record and may prove to be harmful to our health.
Giving hormones to animals who are then consumed (directly or indirectly (cheese or milk) may also impact your health, particularly impacting children during their growth stages. The impact that this has and how positive or negative is unknown but may be linked to rising rates or allergies, hormonal imbalances, and cancer. Many believe that hormonal problems lead to imbalances in their energy levels as well resulting in hyperactivity or sedateness.
Many people understand this and decide to only eat organic foods as a result. But is organic food better? While organic foods may not ultimately be healthier, they come with lower health risks and can dispel the concern that many have for the ingredients that can potentially impact our long-term health.
Varying Impact by Food Group
Of course, the impact that the pesticides and hormones have on food will greatly vary based on the food item itself. It is often considered to be safer to eat non-organic foods with thicker skins that you don’t eat, like a pumpkin or gourd, than fruits or vegetables with thinner skins that may more easily absorb the chemicals and pesticides like berries or peaches.
While organic food is not thought to be unhealthy, unless it is leading to lower calorie consumption for those who are lacking in calories, the health benefits of eating only organic are somewhat unproven, partly as non-organic foods have a shorter history. Organic eating is the safer way to eat healthily and many believe it can greatly enhance your long-term health and energy levels.
