Now, which one is proper and correct? Which pyramid? Please read....





















































































There is no specific food pyramid for one same person. Let's look into details. A family whereby there is a sick grandmother, an aged grandfather, working parents [one in office, another in the field], an adolescent, two growing babies and a pregnant relative will need to follow at least 6 different food pyramid.

And a vegetarian's food pyramid is different again. Thus we follow a food pyramid according to our age, our needs and our budget. Some people in this world are so poor that they could not afford to eat right! Where is there this chance to choose the right food? They can just eat to fill their stomach only...

A food pyramid is just a guideline to the amount of the correct foods we need to consume to maintain an ideal weight and good health. Bad habits die slow. But to be balanced in still the motive of all food pyramids.

So check your age category... and go for a personalized food pyramid which is the best. It pays to follow THE CORRECT FOOD PYRAMID!

Look at this one... do you follow it or give it a second thought?

This is the most common WRONG 'food pyramid' that modern people EAT...



















Check your refrigerator, your food storage compartment, your cold storage... these are those foods so commonly found in them instead of fresh vegetables and fruits or natural foods...

Processed foods make up at least half of our wrong diet and every package comes so colorful and inviting that when shopping, will soon fill up his or her trolley with all the above foods. We pay for the food we buy, but at the end of the day, we pay a huge price to buy back health.... sometimes irreversible....

Adequate fruits and vegetables is a must in our daily diet...









Vegetables eaten raw contains more enzymes... they contains good fibre and less calories...





More vegetables than fruits... some people have sweet tolerance to certain fruits...




5 a day, eat a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables.... the darker and concentrated colors the vege or fruits looks, the better it is...

Here again, choose again... how many types are you eating? All these are great antioxidants and are rich in maintaining a person's good health...





Look at all these wonderfufl nutritious good food? How many servings do you eat? Pick them and tell me how many of them are u eating today?




Food for the body, for the mind, for our emotion and spirit... thus attaining a balance of everything and holistic approach...




















Diagrams are just diagrams...
knowledge is yet another.
Seeking health is another.
Attaining health and maintaining it is a skill.

Health is the only race whereby
all of us have to emerge as winners...

So, ever thought of what are
those good foods for our mind?

For our emotion?

And are you feeding anything to
upload your spiritual knowledge
of who you really are?

What have you done to stay healthy? How balanced are you in body, mind, emotion and spirit?

Health is always the talk of today and tomorrow...the main point is how healthy are you NOW?



















Good health is always a balance of everything.... Not too much, not too little of the good food...

Again, we must emphasize on healthy eating... feed the fuel our body needs, not just pleasing our palate...

As safe as mother's milk.... this is soursop/Graviola proved itself to be a cancer-killing dynamo.

A study published in the Journal of Natural Products, following a recent study conducted at Catholic University of South Korea stated that one chemical in Graviola was found to
selectively kill colon cancer cells at "10,000 times the potency of (the commonly used chemotherapy drug) Adriamycin..."

The most significant part of the Catholic University of South Korea report is that Graviola was shown to selectively target the cancer cells, leaving healthy cells untouched.

Unlike chemotherapy, which indiscriminately targets all actively reproducing cells (such as stomach and hair cells), causing the often devastating side effects of nausea and hair loss in cancer patients.

..A study at Purdue University recently found that leaves from the Graviola tree killed cancer cells among six human cell lines and were especially effective against prostate, pancreatic and lung cancers...


Various parts of the Graviola tree--including the bark, leaves, roots, fruit and fruit-seeds--have been used for centuries by medicine men and native Indians in South America to treat heart disease, asthma, liver problems and arthritis.

Yummy yummy, if you blend this fruit into a juice, it is real nice and fragrant....

This is the unique fruit that itself is a 'medicine', food yet a fruit.

This is the awesome fruit, deliciously tasty and high cancer-fighting properties......



















This is the fruit, the great fruit that I know even when I was just a little girl. Until now I still dream of my childhood time, climbing on this fruit tree and harvesting them.... and the thrills of touching each grown-up fruit to feel it's ripeness...

And my dream will continue to pick many of these fruits, soft and delicious to eat...and now only to wake up to find these unique curing traits of this particular fruit.

Am pleased and grateful that God provides us such wonderful fruits, rich in phytonutrients and curing properties... God is always fair and loving... We don't actually need to travel or fly anywhere to get nutritious and unique fruits that itself is a 'medicine', food yet a fruit.

We need not import from anywhere... just pick from your garden right here in our country in abundance. It is time we get to know these local delicious fruits, yet to be scientifically explored for its nutritional value and even better, its curing properties. It is so natural and so cheap and within reach...

Soursop... a remedy to all cancer, one of the most recent research...
