I bought a recipe book of dishes you can cook during GO DETOX (COLO VADA) program. Sometimes it's not easy to come up with ideas about what you can cook, so there are some options for you, such as recipes of salads, appetizers, soups, main dishes, and desserts.

Alkaline diet (also known as the alkaline ash diet, alkaline acid diet, acid ash diet, and the acid alkaline diet) describes a group of loosely related diets based on the belief that certain foods can affect the acidity and pH of bodily fluids, including the urine or blood, and can therefore be used to treat or prevent Acidosis related diseases.

Eating less salt is good for everyone's health.

Americans consume one-and-a-half or more teaspoons of salt a day. That's far more than is needed to satisfy the body's need for sodium, the main element we get from salt. And that’s a big problem: A high-sodium diet can raise your risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke.

Mulled Wine

Mulled Wine - a Winter Warmer

With winter on its way those cold lagers and chilled white wines can seem less appealing than they did on hot afternoons around the barbeque. A heavy red is a good alternative on a chilly evening, but for a really warming beverage you can’t beat a good mulled wine.

Rich Vegetable Stock

Yields about 1 gallon or 16 1-cup servings

If you buy vegetable stock, you’ll likely get a product with a lot of sodium but not a lot of flavor. By making your own stock, you can control the amount of sodium and create an incredibly flavorful base for soups, stews, risottos, and other dishes that call for stock as the primary cooking liquid.

Mushroom Stroganoff

Serves 4

This recipe uses umami-rich mushrooms in place of meat to create a rich, savory sauce that can be served with whole wheat noodles, wild rice pilaf, barley pilaf, or farro. If you make your own vegetable stock, you can control the amount of salt you add to it. If you buy vegetable stock, compare brands to find the one with the least amount of sodium.

Health Gains from Whole Grains

For millennia, the grains humans ate came straight from the stalk. That means they got a carbohydrate package rich in fiber, healthy fats, vitamins, minerals, plant enzymes, hormones, and hundreds of other phytochemicals.
Even after we learned how to grind grain, we still got all of the goodness that grains pack in their three layers. Whole grains have a tough, fibrous outer layer called bran that protects the inside of the kernel. The interior contains mostly the starchy endosperm. Its job is to provide stored energy for the germ, the seed's reproductive kernel, which nestles inside the endosperm. The germ is rich in vitamins, minerals, and unsaturated oils.

Healthy Meal Ideas for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

In the midst of a full and busy life, it’s easy to let taking care of oneself take a backseat. All too often a quick trip to the drive-through becomes habit and health and energy suffers.

 Think there’s no time for a healthy meal? Let the ideas for quick, nutritious and portioned ideas prove that there is:

CHERRIES

Not only due Cherries taste delicious, but like many berries, are a rich source of antioxidants. They are a great source of anti-oxidants and help prevent or repair damage.
Cherries like raspberries, contain ellagic acid, a naturally occurring plant phenolic known as an anti-carcinogenic/anti-mutagenic compound. Research has shown that ellagic acid actually helps stop certain cancers.

Avocado

The benefits of the fruits and leaves of this therapeutic tree: this tree, native to Central America, is now grown all over the world.

All parts except the root, have a therapeutic effect.
