An Onion A Day Keeps The Doctor Away

The health benefits of onions are frequently overlooked or even unknown. Containing powerful compounds such as Quercetin and Chromium, studies reveal that this kitchen staple has many hidden talents making it the diamond of the vegetable world.

Quercetin, which is recognised as being a more potent antioxidant than vitamin E, is a multi-tasking flavonoid which helps to keep the body in peak condition, aiding to fight a variety of illnesses ranging from the common cold to colon, prostate and breast cancer. Onions are an effective source of this increasingly valued compound; in fact, absorption of Quercetin from onions is twice that from tea and three times that from apples.

Onions also contain very high levels of chromium which helps maintain a positive hormone balance and to combat PMS.

Founder of the The Food Doctor, author, broadcaster and health journalist Ian Marber comments: “The term superfoods tends to be applied to nearly everything these days, but the humble onion does offer far more benefits than most vegetables owing to its potent antioxidant and probiotic effects.”

Experts believe that as little as two to three onions per week can have a significantly positive impact on health. And even better news, onions don’t have to be eaten raw to maximise their health benefits – Quercetin is relatively stable while being cooked so retains all its powerful goodness to aid overall wellbeing.

about walking - paulo coelho

Everything works out fine.

1] You have already arrived. So, feel pleasure at each step and do not worry about things that you still have to face. We have nothing before us, just a road to be traveled at each moment with joy. We are always arriving, our home is the present moment, and nothing more.

2] For that reason, always smile while you walk, Even if you have to force it a bit and feel ridiculous. Get used to smiling and you will end up happy. Do not be afraid of displaying your contentment.

3] If you think that peace and joy always lie ahead, you will never manage to achieve them. Try to understand that they are both your traveling companions.

4] When you walk, you are massaging and honoring the earth. In the same way, the earth is trying to help you to balance your organism and mind. Understand this relationship and try to respect it – may your steps have the firmness of a lion, the elegance of a tiger and the dignity of an emperor. ( my favourite part)

5] Pay attention to what is going on around you. And concentrate on your breathing – this will help you to get rid of the problems and worries that try to accompany you on your journey.

6] When you walk, it is not just you that is moving, but all past and future generations. In the so-called “real” world, time is a measure, but in the true world nothing exists beyond the present moment. Be fully aware that everything that has happened and everything that will happen is in each step you take.

7] Enjoy yourself. Make it a constant meeting with yourself, never a penance in search of reward.

I am the rainmaker.
I am the warrior of light.
I am inspiration.
I am a woman.
My inspiration comes from love, and because i love, i am given plenty.
My flesh may be weak but my heart is big... and beats with resounding thuds.
I am tall, because i sit on shoulders of giants.
When i speak, love, faith and hope appears.
I am beautiful because i am looking at you.
I am vunerable and i allow it.
I come in peace. I am with you.
My light is bright and shines when you think you cannot see.
I hold your hand. I am here.
I sing you songs and it feeds your soul.
I am life and abundance.
I am more than i appear.
Because i am.......You.
