APRIL IS ALCOHOL AWARENESS MONTH

by Dr. Margaret Aranda


Part of healing your body # fromtheınsıdeout is to avoid internal damage to vital organs like your liver, brain, kidneys, etc. You can take all the supplements, vitamins, and minerals in the world and still drink yourself to death with #alcohol.  So I'm not pulling any punches here, and I'm telling you like it is. Period. 

Image 1 Fight the Good Fight . Fight for your family, for your household, for your children, and to break every chain that stops the generational abuse of alcoholism! You can do it!

It is National #alcohol Awareness Month and HELLO! It's been like this on the books since 1987, almost 20 years! Are you kidding me? You did not know? How STUPID of me that I did not know either! Let's solve that problem, because that is what I am all about: Solving Problems . 

Here are some statistics for you, since the scientist in me that life has to report the numbers speak for themselves and simply BOGGLE YOUR MIND! 

* There is one car accident due to alcohol-related death every 58 seconds in the USA;

* Alcohol consumption adds Risks for teenagers and pregnant women (eg, fetal alcohol syndrome);

* In a 2013 study by the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System Survey , half of all Americans drank alcohol in the last 30 days.

Soooo ... For those of you who are STOPPING the alcohol, Hat's Off to You! Take one day at a time! Talk and bond with others that will keep you on the right track! Remember you are not alone! You affect a major impact on your family, when the doors are closed and you are alone with them! Look into the eyes of your children every time you need a reminder, and tell them:

"You are beautiful!"   
............................. " You are smart!"  
.................................................. ...  "you make me proud!" 

And remember this: you are talking to yourself , when you were little and all  you longed for love and a "normal" family . It is all in your hands now, with the grace of God. We are for you , behind you , liftingUp to succeed day by day! 

So FIGHT FIGHT this GOOD !  Amen!

Immunonutrition Dinner: Salmon, Baby Carrots & Papaya/Cilantro Salsa

ORIGINAL RECIPES

by Dr Margaret Aranda

This is a simply fabulous dinner for two or three. You can

easily multiply the recipe, make the salsa on the morning of the

dinner, and cook the carrots for longer than the stated time.

The goal here is to get the house smelling wonderfully, serve

up a healthy meal, and have a fantastic presentation that is

sure to be an eye-pleaser for your guests.  


And if you clean (scrub it quickly for immediate re-use)  

the dishes as you go along, you will not have a huge mess on

your hands. We use the same pot for the carrots twice , and

we use the same skillet for the salmon twice also, as we

return the dish for more flavor and the finishing touches ! 

Menu:

Salmon with Dill and Olives

Baby Carrots with Dill, Parsley, and Garlic

Papaya with Cilantro and Tomato Salsa

Water

Papaya and  Cilantro Tomato Salsa 

1/2 cup fresh papaya, chopped

3/4 cup fresh tomatoes, chopped

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Place all items in a small serving bowl and refrigerate to cool

down while the other items are cooking. Sure to be a crowd-

pleaser and a great pairing with the salmon and dill. Go

ahead and throw away the stems and core of the tomato,

, 

cleaning your counter before proceeding with the carrots and

Salmon. You'll be glad you did, and the kitchen will look

much cleaner. Serves 2 or 3.

Dr Margaret Aranda asks that donations go to feed her orphans here: https://www.gofundme.com/vf58rvsa

Image 1. Orphans of Hope & Joy Ministries, whom I have known the Pastor, Steven Mwesigwa for 7 years. Never before has there been such a need. Never before have we had to beg for food so often. Pastor borrowed $281 from the grocery lady, and it is due on Sunday. Please give so that she will allow them to have food for May 1, 2016.  And God Bless You. 

And we are reminded of James 1:27:
Pure and undefiled religion is to feed the orphans and widows in their suffering, according to God, and to remain uncorrupted by the world.

"For what good is "Immunonutrition" to the "rich",  if the orphans have no morsel of food? None."

                                                     ~ Margaret Aranda, MD, Ph.D.

Can we bring food to our Orphans? Don't even TRY to talk Dr. Aranda out of it! Or she will TRY even harder! Let us GIVE! If you have a bed, a roof, and a refrigerator, YOU are already in the TOP 25% ELITE OF THE WORLD! Give! 

WHAT ARE SIGNS OF NUTRITIONAL DEFICIENCIES IN OUR KIDS?

by Dr. Margaret Aranda

So...are you ready to learn? This is the world of cellular & molecular biology, immunology, free radicals, chronic 

metabolic syndrome, inflammation, bacteria, antigens, 

vaccinations (Screech! I know), cancer, chemotherapy,

flavonoids, apples, barbecued hamburgers, the low glycemic

diet for life, quality of life, and ... most importantly..... 

Quality of Life (QoL). I'll walk you through, a step at a time.

No worries. 

"We can Get Good at This!"

I think we should start off the topic of "Immunonutrition" by

FIRST talking about NUTRITION and:

(1) Our children; 

(2) Awareness of childhood nutritional deficiencies and the

lasting effects they can have:

CHILDREN: 10 SIGNS OF NUTRITIONAL DEFICIENCIES:

1. "Flat Head" Syndrome 

2. Delayed Speech

3. Dry skin/hair

4. Hyperactivity 

5. Cavities 

6. Tooth crowding

7. Many colds/Flus

8. Moodiness/Crankiness

9. Anxiety/Depression

10. Obesity

~ ~ ~

The SECOND subject is the IMMUNE SYSTEM in relation to nutrition. The Immune System fights bacteria, cancer, inflammation, and other "invaders" that are "foreign" to our bodies. It is a defense system. We can manipulate it UP to fight cancer, or we can manipulate it DOWN so we don't reject a kidney transplantation. 

~ ~ ~

So, Using Good Nutrition + to Boost the Immune System =

"IMMUNONUTRITION."
