House Warming Pack Details! (from Saturday)
We put together a really nice House Warming Gift Pack on Saturday and promised to give some details
Chia Seed
from Dr. Oz and Oprah
“Chia is as chockfull of fiber as other whole grains, but it packs in even more vitamins. “Remember that broccoli I had before? [One of these muffins] has more magnesium than about 10 of those heads of broccoli, and it’s got as much calcium in it as a couple cups of milk,” Dr. Oz says. “It adds one other thing, too, by the way. It’s very rich in the next big category, which are omega-3 fatty acids.”
–Essential fatty acids, protein, Vitamins A, B, E, and D, and minerals including calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sulphur, iron, iodine, copper, zinc, sodium, magnesium, manganese, niacin, thiamine, silicon, and anti-oxidants!
Hear and Soul Tea
- the green sencha is full of anti-oxidants
-rose petals (The American Botanical Council says petals have sedative, antiseptic, antiparasitic, anti-inflammatory, laxative, cholesterol-lowering, and heart-supportive properties)
–cinnamon (from Dr. Oz –Cinnamon (with an ‘m’ not a ‘b’) seems to have an insulin-like effect that helps enhance the satiety center in your brain (and also reduces blood sugar levels as well as cholesterol levels).
