If you mix 2 TBS of cayenne powder with 2 cups of water, it makes a great, natural pest and animal deterrent in your yard/garden. You will have to reapply every few weeks and after rain, but so much better than those harmful chemicals.

Last year, after reading about coconut oil, I decided to start cooking with it instead of other oils

Using coconut oil increases your metabolism. The fats in coconut oil, unlike all other fats, do not circulate through the blood looking for places to be stored. They go directly to the liver and are turned into instant energy. One food that can rev up your metabolism even more than protein is coconut oil.

It's the potassium in the banana that helps with the leg cramps. I've also heard stories of drinking dill pickle juice to help reduce leg cramps.

If you put some cider vinegar in potatoes, it will lower the glycemic index for them, which is good for those who keep an eye on their carb intake as well as stabilizing blood sugars better.

For those will pollen allergies, find a store that sells LOCAL honey and take a spoonful every day. It will help to minimize your symptoms.


Also, if you are bloated, drink water with lemon juice in it to taste. The lemon draws out the water trapped in your cells and allows it to vacate your body.
