Little known fact: drinking cayenne pepper juice stimulates heart action, but doesn’t increase your blood pressure.
The spicy cayenne pepper is known by many names, including the red hot chili pepper, the bird pepper, the cow-horn pepper, and the Guinea spice, but regardless of what you call it, its powerful effects remain the same: it can stimulate the regeneration of the body’s organs and tissues, and can even benefit the health and function of both the male and female sex organs because of its tendency to promote good blood flow and circulation.

Finally, a lucky break for those of us who love to eat healthy and organic, but who are too lazy to fry our own chicken.
According to Fox News, the first fast food establishment to serve exclusively USDA-certified organic food opened two weeks ago in San Francisco.

Blueberries are going to disappear soon so I wanted to get in one more summer dessert. Look at this beautiful Paleo Blueberry Lemon Bread.
I am a creature of habit and I live for rituals in life. This gives me consistency in my schedule that can be chaotic at times. Every Sunday morning I wake up, eat breakfast, and hit up my favorite Farmer’s Market in town. The first place I like to visit is the gluten-free bakery booth for Pao de Queijo (just a fancy way of saying Brazilian cheese bread.) My daughter will get one with plain and …

There are farmers markets and supermarkets on every corner that are full of fresh produce. In addition, a lot of people are beginning to grow fruits and vegetables in their own backyards.
