Natural food and its benefits

Ginger is good. In any form of cooking, you can eat it at least 1-3 cm size a day. Ginger helps in activating the flow of sticky blood.

Garlic is good, too. Most herbal doctors recommend taking a lot of garlic. Any form of cooking will do. In my study, taking a lot of garlic increases your blood pressure. I do not recommend you to take more than 4 cloves of garlic. That's about one half size of whole garlic a day.

Onion reduces high blood pressure in a short period of time (within 15 to 25 minutes). You can take as many as you like in any manner of cooking. However, you must slice it at first, and then keep it for about 15 minutes to one hour before cooking. Cooking it immediately after slicing will not reduce your body cholesterol amount at all.

Bean sprouts are good food for all. It helps the flow of blood if you take daily. It is also a recommended food for young baby-bearing mother. It is a good source of Vitamin E, too.

Tofu (bean curd). It is available anywhere in big markets. This is one of the best protein sources of nonfatty foods. You can fry it or toast, or, you can eat it as is, with ginger and soy, as it's already cooked.

Tofu is good for most sickly people especially those on middle and old age.

Gelatin is one of the best foods for hypertension patients. It contains a lot of fibers and ability to reduce cholesterol. No fat and calories to add your body. You can use gelatin for many ways.

When cooking rice, drop a piece of gelatin in it. Taste of the rice becomes very fine. Try it. When cooking any kinds of soup, drop one half of gelatin in it. The soup will taste better. When cooking chop suey or curry, drop one whole of gelatin in it. It will taste better.

You can also make jelly cakes as seen on the image.

Seaweeds are good for health because of its nutritional value such as Vitamins A - Z, iron, calcium, you name it. You can probably find it in seaweeds. Okinawa people's long life is known in the world. More than 70 % of people in Okinawa live above 100 years old and still works in the rice and sugarcane field.

Studies done by Japanese scientists tell that the long lives of Okinawans are because of greater amount of seaweeds they eat.
