Slimming Seasonings and Condiments
Season fish, poultry, vegetables, and even fruit -yes, fruit- liberally with a variety of fresh and dried herbs and spices. Try an apple sprinkled with cinnamon, a pear with a pinch of ginger, or strawberries with a splash of balsamic vinegar. Nothing in the plant world can rival the many medicinal properties of spices, from helping to lower and stabilize blood sugar, offering protection from free radical damage, providing anti-aging benefits and helping to speed up the metabolism.
Zest for Life
Choose organic fruits and vegetables when possible. Pesticides can leave toxic residues on plants that can harm your organ systems. Also you can safely use the rind of lemons, oranges, grapefruit, and other fruits to make zest since their skin has not been treated with fungicides.
Raw Foods Are Enzyme-Rich Foods
Always include as much raw food in your diet as possible. These include enzyme-rich fresh fruits and vegetables, sprouts, nuts, seeds, sprouted grains, and other organic/natural foods that have not been processed. Enzymes are critical to good health as they assist in the digestion and absorption of food.

We were pleased to get some pet stories from our readers. Here’s what you had to say:
From Marie:
I have had a Feline-only Veterinary hospital for close to 20 years. One of the best kitty stories I can tell involves the driver of a semi-truck who came into my hospital one day with a tiny kitten. He was driving his big rig on Interstate 85 outside of Atlanta, Georgia when he noticed a car in front of him toss a paper bag out of the window. A tiny shape came out of the bag and lay there trembling in the road. He immediately hit the brakes and managed to block the two lanes next him with his rig to save the tiny kitten trapped on the road. The driver had stopped all the traffic on the busy Interstate. However, when he got out of his truck the surrounding drivers that had been halted by his rig were applauding his action. He brought the tiny kitten to me for medical attention. Her tiny claws were attached to the shoulder of his sweater and we had a little trouble getting her loose. I asked him what her name was and he said “Velcro.” Velcro still rides with him as a companion on long hauls in his big rig.
From Wes:
Our long haired miniature daschund is trying to learn to talk, so she mouths all kinds of expressions while tilting her head to make herself more understandable. If we could find a source for your thymic peptides I’m sure she would master the language. Any suggestions?
From Susan:
The people at Melbourne Dermatology are very much into Maltese dogs, like Peanut!:

Please keep the participation coming. Two-way conversations make our blog better. Thanks.
Simple Salads
Add cooked, leftover vegetable to cold salads or omelets. Steamed broccoli, asparagus, or cauliflower, for example, are delicious when dressed with extra virgin olive oil and fresh lemon juice to taste.
Sowing The Seeds
Sprouted seeds are an outstanding source of many nutrients and are also rich in enzymes. Raw food enthusiasts suggest that soaking nuts or seeds in pure water for 24 hours will activate their dormant enzymes. While we are not an advocate of some grains, such as wheat, once they are sprouted they become a living, highly nutritious, anti-inflammatory food—great for topping salads or soups and loaded with anti-oxidant benefits.
Make Friends With Onions
Make friends with foods of the onion family—add plenty of garlic, scallions, onions, chives, leeks and shallots to your savory dishes for both their unique flavors and their outstanding health benefits—use both raw and cooked. Try adding raw garlic to your salads.
May The Force Be With You
Sprouts are a concentrated source of the living enzymes and “life force” that is lost when foods are cooked or not picked fresh from your own garden. Due to their high enzyme content, sprouts are also much easier to digest than the seeds or beans from which they came.
