hi., dianna.. thank you for the post i really had a great time reading all the article here and i learn from it.. nevermind those people who's pretending to know everything (ESP. ANGIE). ., they are actually the people who knows nothing AT ALL.. good day to all of u & keep posting new article...

Thanks for this informative post Diana...........I learned a few new things about the foods I like.........One can never have too much knowledge........it's always good to learn and to be open to new ideas!!!

thanks for the blog! Im always looking for new ways to eat a lil more healthier , and i sure learned a couple new things i didnt know ill be sure to try some of this stuff out thanks agin ! :) keep up the good work !

Garlic is also an antibacterial food.. but it has to be eaten raw. Good on salads :)

Olga it cannot possibly reverse spider veins. In theory it is supposed to strengthen the veins so they don't break/you don't get them in the first place. Eating plums won't have a noticable effect anyway in regards to specific health problems, neither will most of it, like eating corn for good hair. It's dubious at the least. Minimal at the very most. But it was a fun post, i'm not complaining , just explaining. .... Yeah, eat your fruit and veg, it all adds up in the end.

P.S. Angie needs to take a CHILL PILL!!!

Dear Anne, Thank you for enlightening me :) Maybe you know something about other foods that people mistakenly consider useful? Please do sure your knowledge with us! Thank you!
