Iron food..

Hi just thought I'd share Something I learnt from a very dear friend Of mine.. I've known her only twelve months and she cares for me like a mother. She immigrated to Australia from Africa to escape war. Along with her she bought a wealth a knowledge we need to learn from. They have a low incident of cancers, asthma,Diabetes, and many more diseases we seem to suffer from. She taught me the benefits and uses Of potato leaves. Not until I researched it did I realize the huge nutritional benefits of these leaves. So for everyone on here trying to get maximum benefits from food do the research.. Modern countries are so ignorant.. Back to basics. We've created most of our problems through lifestyle. Don't Overlook them, not much literature on them, purely through ignorance. They are recommended by drs in Africa for expecting mothers, or those low in Iron. Just waiting for my nursery to stock up and I'll plant my first crop. Organicly grown of course. Another thing she taught me was the huge benefit of a avocado, they rot on the ground in her country. Did you know eating Avocado before consuming alcohol protects the liver from absorbing it. It's has the ability to heal the liver in as little as thirty days. Don't take my word, just research it.. Another fruit she lives on, kiwi fruit.. After researching its benefits I found its one of the only (prebiotic fruits) that contain so many vitamins. Most only have one or two. Pinapple and sweet potato are considered one of the best anti inflamitories. Pineapple even used by Drs as a post operative anti inflamitory after sinus surgery. Goodluck hope I've helped..

Another thing useful to people with IBD is water.Pure Coconut water, is loaded with electrolytes. Expensive to buy a coconut when
You need a drink, but health food stores and supermarkets sell pure organic coconut water. Alot less sugar and far better, without chemicals added. Water alone does not hydrate once tr body is dehydrated.. Just as in drinking to much straight water causes electrolyte imbalances, and can be just as dangerous.. :)

i have never seen sweet potato leaves before... probably because i've never grown them before. seems like it would be hard to find around me in pittsburgh. i don't think we are big potato producers here. i do drink a lot of coconut water though. it's my favorite thing to have when i wake up and during my workouts.

Interesting, I would have thought that sweet potato leaves would be toxic much like white potato leaves.

What are you going to do with the leaves exactly?

Nice tip about kiwi, thanks

To curb the high cost I bought a bag of dehydrated coconut juice - bring your own water.

Lodi when I eat meat it sits in my stomach and doesn't digest, I feel full for hours until it causes acid.. I've had scopes and they found nothing. I've been treated for reflux although they say it's not showing on scopes. My new Dr thinks its more a gastric emptying problem which can cause reflux. With the coconut water I always read ingredients and choose 100% pure. The potato leaves I wash very thouroughly before I blend them. We have very hot summers here in wagga so they grow fast.. More people should know about them. Thanks for the tip on the coconut water :)
