Foods that Heal

My hair started to grey when I was about twenty five. I came from a family where all of my aunts and uncles including my dad had this silvery hair by time they were twenty. I really did not mind it, ever so often I would dye it and that was that. But the grey hair that I have would not take dyes very well and within two weeks my hair was grey again. But it was not until a couple of years ago that my hair was really getting white. I had some health problems and not only was my hair so grey, but I also lost quite a bit of hair.

For Christmas, I asked my husband to get me a book called “The Power of Healing, The Power of God” By Bill Sardi. I started to do some reading about the food that we eat and how it really effects our bodies. I found some information on what to do with grey hair in another book called “The Herbal Home Remedy Book.” You can see in this picture below the dark roots coming in under the grey.

In the book it says people who are lacking Zinc and certain foods can cause grey hair. Of course remember with time we will grey and it is not unusual. It still would not hurt to start a new meal regimen and see if it is from a deficiency. Other foods on the list  would be Omega-3’s like fish, Salmon and halibut, broccoli, spinach, sweet potatoes, squash and strawberries. There are more in the list. raw eggs, legumes, yeast, cauliflower, bananas, carrots and mushrooms.

Here is a picture of my scalp, I know it is not a great pictures, but it does show some of the darker hair that is coming in. I am going to incorporate more of these foods into our diet. It will really help with health also. I am amazed at the difference that food makes.

I would like to share a simple receipe for you. It is so yummy and the family really enjoyed it. It is a matter of cutting up the veggies and then let simmer for a while.

7 peeled and sliced potatoes.
2 handfuls of fresh spinage leaves, cut up
1/2 white onion sliced up into small bits
fresh garlic, to taste.
1 stalk of brocoli, slicesed up
8 baby carrots, sliced
1 Tbsp. Paprika
1 Tbsp. ground Pepper
1tsp. Salt
1 can of evaperated milk

In a large pot place all the chopped vegitables with water. Place on the stove on Med High. Let simmer for a good hour or until the potatoes are soft. At time turn down the heat and add the evaperated milk. Let simmer for a half an hour and then serve. The family really liked this soup and if gives alot more vegitables that they may not be getting through the day.  I served it with yogurt biscuts.
