Beware and be aware of how our mind flies...
Your mind flies about anywhere and
squats on all sundry objects in the Universe.
Like the fly that sits on fair and foul,
your mind too flees from one thought to another.
The fly will be destroyed if it sits on fire.
So too, your mind will be destroyed when it dwells on God.
Know that your mind is but a pattern of desires,
woven with the warp and woof of the same material.
When God enters your mind, desire flees away.
This state is called the death of the mind
or the merging of your mind.
Each one of you must make
your own heart an abode of peace.
Analyse your words, deeds and thoughts.
Get rid, slowly but surely, of the evil ones
that harm you and others.
Cultivate fortitude, firm peace and
speak only the truth. Let this transformation
begin, this very moment in you!

10 naturally slimming foods...
For a flat stomach: Pineapple
Pineapple is the secret to a flat stomach. This fruit is rich in bromelain, an enzyme which accelerates the absorption of dietary protein (from meat, fish, eggs and dairy products, and also vegetables) by the body.
To benefit from this, eat fresh pineapple as the bromelain is destroyed by heat during preservation. Pineapple also contains insoluble dietary fibre which

To benefit from this, eat fresh pineapple as the bromelain is destroyed by heat during preservation. Pineapple also contains insoluble dietary fibre which
aids intestinal transit.
Anti-water retention: Leeks
Leeks contain fructosamines, substances which seem like carbohydrates, but which have properties which prevent water retention. This vegetable is also rich in potassium and poor in sodium, which encourages the secretion and elimination of urine. All this classes the leek among diuretic vegetables.
You should cook the green part preferably, which is rich in fibre and not as sweet as the white part.
Fat burning: Sweet peppers
Peppers help eliminate some sugar and fat before being assimilated by the body. This vegetable contains traces of capsaicin and capsaicinoids, substances with a spicy flavour which can kickstart digestive secretions. On top of all this, peppers are very low in calories (21kcal per 100g) and have diuretic properties.
If you want to get the most out the provitamin A in this vegetable, with its antioxidant action, go for red peppers as these are richer in this nutrient than green peppers.
Anti-cellulite: Green tea
Green tea is your body’s best friend when it comes to fighting cellulite. It is rich in antioxidants, which means it has the power to preserve the cells’ tonicity and in this way prevent cellulite forming.
Green tea also encourages the body not to store up fat, eliminating fats accumulated in fat cells instead. Furthermore, it limits the absorption of fats and carbohydrates in the first place, so get topping up that teacup!
Anti-bloating: Apples
Apples’ richness in pectin, a dietary fibre, encourages the elimination of food residue and stimulates the activity of the digestive tract. A medium-sized apple contains 3-4g of dietary fibre in its skin.
To get the most out of this fibre, eat whole apples and don’t cook them. This fruit is also a great snack when you are hungry and it’s really low in calories (54kcal per 100g), so get chomping!
Super slimming: Tofu
Made from curdled soya milk, tofu is a really filling food because of its richness in vegetable protein (11g per 100g). On top of this, it is also low in fat and contains 120kcal per 100g.
But when it comes to fats, tofu contains unsaturated fats, good fats including omega 3 especially. This is a brilliant naturally slimming food to add to your weekly menus.
Anti-water retention: Cherries
Cherries help the elimination of urine and also digestive transit in general. Don’t go crazy though as this fruit is relatively calorific (68kcal per 100g).
For a maximum detox drink teas made from cherry stalks: this part of the fruit also has a diuretic property through its richness in flavonoids and potassium salts.
Fat burning: Cinnamon
Recent scientific studies have shown that cinnamon helps to reduce blood sugar levels, which in turn prevents the body from storing sugar as fat. Furthermore, this spice gives food a great flavour so there is no need to add sugar or fattening foods.
Use it to flavour your yoghurts or fromage frais, and think about adding it to dishes in meals, on baked apples for example.
Anti-cellulite: Onions
Onions combat cellulite by eliminating water and toxins. It’s diuretic action is probably due to its richness in fructosamines, present in the onion bulb, and its increased potassium/sodium ratio. Onion also regulates the absorption of sugar and activates the elimination of fats.
You should cook onions rather than eating them raw as they will be easier to digest this way.
Super slimming: Seaweed
King of all slimming foods, seaweed is low in calories, really filling and good for digestive transit.
The best known food products include agar-agar, a jelly made from seaweed which acts like gelatine, wakami seaweed which you can eat in salads or in soups, konbu which is used dried in broths, nori which is what is used to wrap sushi...

The goodness of beetroots..
Red beets and beet juice top the list of healing antioxidants due to polyphenol and betalain concentration
One ingredient found in many of today's green super-food formulas is red beet root powder, which is made from dehydrated beets and then ground into a powder. Although the benefits of beets are not often shouted through the rooftops, red beet roots and beet juice have a storehouse of plant-so
urced nutrients and a tremendous amount of healing potential. Beets are a very good source of dietary fiber, potassium, manganese, and folate. Beets are also a good source of Vitamin C, zinc, copper, and iron. Beets contain polyphenols and betalains, which are getting quite a bit of medical attention as important natural antioxidants. Beets have been clinically proven to support liver function in rats. Recent clinical research suggests that beets and beet juice are useful in healing a variety of degenerative conditions.
Polyphenols and betalains are seeing an increase in attention within the scientific community
Research over the past ten years is increasingly documenting the importance of polyphenols in the human diet. According to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, polyphenols, a type of antioxidants, are clinically proven to prevent cardiovascular disease in humans. Positive results from animal studies suggest that polyphenols would be beneficial in cancer, osteoporosis, and neurodegenerative disease cases. This is because polyphenols go beyond the action against oxidative stress that most antioxidants perform.
Betalains are also getting more attention within the scientific community. Betalains were "discovered" in 2001 as a class of antioxidants found most prevalently in red beets. A relatively low daily dose of betanin, 300 mL (one and a quarter cups) from red beet juice has been clinically demonstrated to be enough to reverse the effects of free radical damage and oxidative stress in humans. Medical researchers are optimisticaly suggesting that beets and beet juice may be a useful healing therapy for a variety of degenerative diseases.
Our mothers were right - beets are good for us
Beets contain a high concentration of polyphenols and betalains. Eating a diet rich in polyphenols and other antioxidants before undergoing any type of surgery has been proven to reduce post-operative complications, according to a study published in a 2007 issue of Nutrition. In this experiment, red beets were added to the regular diet of rats. Low blood pressure was induced for forty-five minutes to the point where liver cells were damaged. While in this state, a variety of liver tests were performed, then the rats were allowed to recover. In the group of rats who were fed beets, the liver antioxidant levels were significantly increased, as was the levels of copper and zinc. The researchers concluded that a diet high in natural antioxidants, such as those contained in red beets and beet juice, help liver cells heal faster after surgery.

What is inflammation explained.....
TWO VERY DIFFERENT FORMS!
When answering the question, “What is inflammation?” it is necessary to consider two very different types of inflammation. Acute inflammation is a healthy response by the body to a harmful condition on the other hand chronic inflammation is a dangerous, out-of-control immunological reaction.
When answering the question, “What is inflammation?” it is necessary to consider two very different types of inflammation. Acute inflammation is a healthy response by the body to a harmful condition on the other hand chronic inflammation is a dangerous, out-of-control immunological reaction.
Any kind of chronicinflammation-related reaction can potentially damage healthy cells and consequently result in evenmore harm than the initial condition. Cellular injury, as well as recognition of unknown elements, stimulates white bloodcells to discharge chemical substances into the blood or impacted cellular material thereby triggering the inflammatory condition. This kind ofinappropriate reactioninvolves the actual format associated with the body’simmune system over-producing a specific kind of antibody – however, it is the knock-on impact involving this specific antibody over-production that we actually observe.Hay fever is in fact a powerful illustration of an allergic reaction – the incompatible reaction by our body towards any item that isn’t really a danger.
Immunity related disorders come about when the immunological reaction is excessive, deficient or incorrect. Immune cells, such as activated T cells and macrophages, generate compounds which will attract additional immune cells towards the trouble area, consequently mobilizing defenses.
Chronic inflammation is definitely anescalating concern amongst health careexperts. Chronic, or silent, inflammationwill invariably compromise the body’simmune system as a result of the activating and re-activating of intermingled immunological responses.
