Grow Herbs Like Martha!
If you happened to catch the "Today show" yesterday, then you were treated to
"The Domestic Goddess" Martha Stewart talking about growing herbs in your
kitchen or backyard.
And even though Ms. Stewart told us (the viewing audience) about
how to start planting our own herbs, the types of pots to use, and the proper ways to
water them, she left out one important tip, what tip was that?
The benefits each herb could impart to us, (the viewing audience).
Well, don't despair, that's why we're here, to educate you just like Ms. Stewart.
So, to get started, lets start with the herbs Ms. Stewart recommended for your
own home garden, first up....
* Mint-
Popular in the Middle East, mint can put an end to stomach cramps and gas.
Use it to make tea or add to a salad, fruit or vegetable.
Or pair it with eggplant, tomatoes, couscous or green peas.
And if you like peppermint and spearmint grow some of that as well.
Peppermint can alleviate the headaches that occur when you're dieting.
And spearmint- can help get rid of facial hair. Yes, spearmint lowers the testosterone in
your system that causes excess facial hair. Drink a cup or two a day until you see
the results you want and then stop. Women still need the hormone testosterone.
* Oregano-
Don't you love the taste of oregano on your plate of spaghetti or pizza pie?
So, do we. And if you want a food that has more nutrients than a bowl of spinach,
an ounce of dark Choc. or a bowl of blueberries, look no further than oregano.
And if menstrual cramp pain is too unbearable, add oregano to your tomato sauce,
fish or summer squash. Oregano also helps you develop a top-notch immune system.
* Parsley-
Who wants to live till 100? Well, if you answered " I do" then you need to add more parsley
to your menus. One Dr. in Miami discovered that parsley is one of the best (and inexpensive)
ways to rid your blood of toxins and germs. It also helps you get rid of bloat. (Ladies)
Add parsley to grains, salads, seafood and tomato dishes.
And one more tip, the Dr. in Miami also said that to live till 100, you must mix the
parsley with this beverage, what beverage is that? Head online to Amazon.com/the kindle
store and type The 101 Best Ways to Live Till 100 in the search bar.
Download it and you'll also learn how actress Cameron Diaz plans on living till 100.
* Dill-
Often overlooked as an herb, the lowly herb dill puts an end to intestinal cramps,
working just like an antibiotic to kill off harmful intestinal bacteria like E Coli.
Pair it with carrots, beets, cream cheese, cucumbers, eggs and salmon.
* Basil-
Popular as ingredient in beloved pesto recipes, basil helps end minor aches and
pains, headaches and it can also put an end to blue and sour moods.
Yes, a natural antidepressant. Pair it with Italian dishes, Pasta, bruschetta,
and slices of fresh mozzarella.
* Cilantro-
Popular in Spanish cultures, the sometimes criticized herb ("it tastes like soap")
can remove heavy metals, (mercury) and toxins from your blood. It can also put an end
to chronic fatigue, again- by purifying your blood.
And if you're a resident of a city with tons of pollution ( L.A. San Fran, Boston,
Bejing, Tokyo, N.Y. and Atlanta) really load up on this herb.
Pair it with guacamole, seafood, corn, black beans and steak.
* Ginger-
And last, but not least, the herb that's as popular in Jamaica as salt and pepper are
in the U.S. And if you're one who enjoys a good roller-coaster in the Summer, then
you need to drink and eat more ginger. It helps put an end to Nausea.
And if you're pregnant and experience morning sickness, (Kim K.)
ask your Dr. or OB-Gyn if ginger is okay to take. Some say it is okay
and others say it may cause harm to the baby.
Pair it citrus fruit, coconut, pork chops, pears, rice, relishes and teas. (green and black).
That's it, finishing off what the "Today show and Ms. Stewart" started.
Good Luck!
