Baby Attempts To Eat His First Piece Of Solid Food. But The Bunny Has Other Plans And Does THIS

A mother decided to record her 5 month old baby’s first bite of solid food so she could cherish and relive the memory forever.  She set up her camera, started rolling, and gave the young child a Ritz cracker to enjoy.  The baby takes his time exploring the new food, smelling it and putting it near his mouth.  Right beside him is a furry bunny named Oreo who is just as interested and curious about the food as the baby is.

As the child begins to put the cracker in his mouth the bunny swiftly snatches it out of his grasp and quickly hops away.  The kid never even got a nibble on it!  The rabbit seized the opportunity to steal his favorite snack, Ritz wheat crackers, and took full advantage of the situation for himself.  The baby  seems to be unsure about what just happened and confused about why he no longer has his cracker.  It was all too new and fast for him to fully understand.

When the camera zooms in on Oreo in the background it captures him happily snacking away on his favorite treat.  The next time mom tries to give her baby a cracker she better keep Oreo out of the area because he is just too sneaky and quick when it comes to snagging food!

This Is What Taking a Small Amount Of Tumeric Everyday Will Do To Your Body

For thousands of years the health benefits of turmeric have been widely celebrated in India, but they’ve only recently emerged and are starting to become known in America. The colorful, orange-yellow spice has traditionally been used in many Indian dishes, most notably curries, and comes in powder form. Most of the world’s supply is grown in India where the Turmeric plant’s roots are gathered, boiled, and dried in super hot ovens.

Once fully dry they’re ground down into a fine powder that’s very strong and easily stains whatever it comes into contact with, which is why it’s also often used as a dye agent. While turmeric’s most widespread and common use is as a spice for flavoring foods, the health benefits that it can provide us with are increasingly being touted by health experts.

Backed by recent studies and ancient Ayurvedic medicine, they claim that if you eat a little bit of turmeric each day, about a teaspoon or so, you can help your body fight off inflammation, pain, aging, even some cancers, and more.

This is mainly due in part to the most active compound turmeric contains, which is called curcumin. Curcumin is what makes turmeric anti-inflammatory and it helps to fight free radicals, plaque, and other toxins in your body. However, it should be noted that our bodies are not that great at absorbing curcumin by itself. This can easily be overcome by adding a little bit of black pepper in with the turmeric, which has the effect of greatly increasing our bodies absorption ability.

Here are a few of the best health and beauty benefits that turmeric can provide:

1. Brain Support Boost- Turmeric helps keep brains healthy and functioning properly. Researchers have found that curcumin, the main bio-active ingredients found in turmeric, can cross the blood-brain barrier and bind directly with plaque. It’s been found to have a positive effect on overall cognitive function and may delay or even reverse certain brain diseases, such as Alzheimer’s and dementia.

2. Anti-Inflammatory Relief- The curcumin found in turmeric is a strong anti-inflammatory compound that works just as well, if not better, than many of the current anti-inflammatory drugs available. It can help ease inflammation and swelling due to inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn’s disease, arthritis, pancreatitis and many other diseases.

To help alleviate the painful symptoms of arthritis and aching, inflamed joints try making turmeric tea. Simply simmer 4 cups of water with one teaspoon of ground turmeric for 10 minutes before straining into a mug. In addition, try adding some fresh ginger to the hot tea for a flavor boost as well as an extra inflammatory-fighting agent.

3. Aids in Cardiovascular Health- Once again the curcumin naturally found in turmeric is what works to remove built up plaque in our arteries and thus helps to prevent blood clots from forming. It helps our whole cardiovascular system and can effectively reduce levels of bad cholesterol (LDL).

4. Improves Digestion- The curcumin in it has powerful anti-inflammation effects and works to ease and reduce bloating, gas, and other digestive tract problems. It also stimulates the gall bladder, so people with gall bladder disease should avoid turmeric in a daily basis to avoid the risk of over-stimulation.

5. Whiten Teeth and Improve Oral Health- Turmeric has proven antimicrobial effects and anti-inflammatory properties. It helps to whiten teeth naturally, safely, effectively, and cheaply, but more importantly, it helps with a number of other oral issues like tooth sensitivity. It won’t irritate swollen gums further like many commercial grade toothpastes tend to.

Instead, turmeric reduces overall irritation and sensitivity and helps with tooth aches, gum reddening, oral infections, and more. It also helps to strengthen teeth and prevent them from becoming brittle. You can make turmeric mouthwash at home by simply dissolving turmeric powder in warm water. To make a whitening toothpaste mix together 1 tbsp coconut oil with 1 tsp turmeric and a few drops of peppermint oil. Pick up a little bit with your toothbrush and start brushing.

6. Acne and Facial Treatment- Zits, acne, redness, dark spots or under eye circles, unwanted facial hair, wrinkles, if you have any one of the those facial skin issues then try treating them with this turmeric face mask. The natural anti-fungal properties of turmeric help prevent breakouts and the almond oil helps to heal acne scars. In a small bowl mix together 2 tbsp flour, 1 tsp turmeric, 1 tbsp almond oil, and as much milk as it takes to get a creamy consistency that’s not too runny or thick.

Apply it to your face but be extra careful to avoid your eyes, eyebrows, and hairline since it works to remove facial hair and can take your brows off. Leave on for 20 minutes, wash it off with lukewarm water and use a towel you don’t mind ruining or getting all yellow to wipe any remaining bits off your face. Wash a second time with face wash, pat dry and moisturize. WARNING- turmeric will stain almost anything it comes into contact with including your hands and nails, counter tops and towels.

There are more positive health effects that can be gained from eating a teaspoon or so of turmeric everyday. Try working it into meals and it tastes great in soups, stir fries, and smoothies so sprinkle a bit on your dinner tonight and start using it to flavor recipes. Also try out the beauty treatments covered above for glowing skin and a bright healthy smile!

Experiencing NAUSEA is one of the worst feelings, which GINGER TEA can alleviate.  It works well with cancer patients who experience nausea from treatment.  A review of twelve studies of 1,278 pregnant women who had morning sickness and were administered 1.1-1.5 grams of ginger, experienced a SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION OF NAUSEA.

The Health Benefits Of Eating Garlic In The Morning On An Empty Stomach Everyday

8g787787g87g8g78g7887g87gg787g8877g8g7878gg78g778g78g787g8g78image via – shutterstock.com

“Since garlic then hath powers to save from death, bear with it though it makes unsavory breath.” This quote can be found in the Regimen sanitatis Salernitanum, a medieval medical text in poem form that today is more commonly known as the Salerno Regimen of Health. For years the book was regarded as a primary source of medical information and advice, with early physicians following the verses and doling out remedies straight from its pages.

Times have changed but the premise behind many of the ideas covered by the book remain the same. Garlic is still one of nature’s strongest medicines and a little bit of the pungent bulb goes a very long way. The positive impact it can have on human health has been observed for centuries and modern studies only back up what people knew all those years ago. Simply put, garlic does a body good. If you want to look, feel, and stay as healthy as you possibly can, then you should aim to eat more of it!

One easy way to work more garlic into your diet is by eating some first thing in the morning, before breakfast, on a completely empty stomach. As strange as it sounds, you can actually help strengthen and heal yourself by doing exactly that. If you’re thinking there’s no way I can choke down raw garlic in the morning, don’t worry about it because you should be using either roasted garlic or garlic supplements instead. Not only are coated capsules easy to swallow down with a glass of water, they also work best because they dissolve in the intestines rather than the stomach.

When you take garlic right after you wake up great things will start happening in your body and the following are the main health benefits that you can naturally derive from doing so:

1) Reduced Blood Pressure- It reduces hypertension and the risk of developing dangerous blood clots. Garlic promotes overall circulatory health because it acts as a natural blood thinner which makes it easier for the heart to pump blood.

2) Helps Prevent Heart Attacks- Garlic can prevent heart attacks by slowing and reducing the development of atherosclerosis, which is the narrowing and hardening of arteries that decreases blood flow and can lead to both blood clots and heart attacks.

3) Reduce Bad Cholesterol Levels- Studies have shown that garlic lowers the LDL cholesterol, which is the “bad” type of cholesterol that puts people at increased risk for heart attacks.

4) Stabilizes Blood Sugar- Studies show that garlic increases the amount of insulin available in people with diabetes and so it helps to regulate the amount of glucose in the blood.

5) Boost Immunity- Garlic is excellent for boosting your immune system because it’s packed with nutrients like potassium, fiber, Vitamins C and B6, and so much more. If you ever get a cold skip the medications and take some garlic instead, its been proven to help reduce the severity of symptoms associated with the flu and common cold.

6) It May Help Prevent Cancer- Garlic is recognized by the National Cancer Institute as potentially having anticancer properties. However, more studies are needed to determine how and why this is so. The anti-cancer link may be down to the fact that it helps to relieve oxidative stress, meaning its natural antioxidant properties aid our bodies in removing damage causing free radicals and thus provides protection against them.

7) Other Associated Benefits- Garlic can also help our bodies absorb minerals, improve impotence, prevent yeast infections, protect against osteoarthritis, clean and reduce fatty build up in the liver, and act as a natural antibiotic.

There you have it, some of the top ways that garlic can benefit your bodily health! Below is a recipe for oven roasted garlic that you can make ahead of time and so there’s no excuse not to eat more of this potent super-food!

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. 2. Take some garlic bulbs, remove the dry outer skin, and carefully cut off the tops of the bulbs. 3. Take a piece of tin foil, lay it flat, then place an equal sized piece of parchment paper on top of the foil.  4. Place the garlic atop the parchment paper and drizzle the bulbs with olive oil. 5. Wrap them up neat and tightly in the foil before placing them on a pan in the oven, roast for 1 hour. 6. Remove, unwrap, allow to cool, and then gently squeeze the garlic bulbs to remove the clove. 7. Serve and use them right away or place them in a covered storage container where they’ll keep for a few days in the fridge.
