I was at a Chinese restaurant with my family. There, we each had a small saucer of some cut raw chillis and raw chopped garlic dipped in soy sauce. And I was thinking, this actually is an excellent health food to be taken by all.

Red chillis are packed with Vitamin C and Vitamin A. Meanwhile, modern science has shown that garlic is a powerful natural antibiotic, albeit broad-spectrum rather than targeted. Garlic is also a powerful antioxidant. No wonder it’s long been considered a herbal “wonder drug”. Also, the National University of Singapore found that soy sauce contains antioxidant properties that are 150 times that of vitamin C and approximately 10 times of the properties found in red wine. Trust the Singaporeans to do a research on this. But, before you start to guzzle up tons of soy sauce, remember, soy sauce is very, very salty, so too much is not good for your health. But anyways, too much of a good thing is always not good.

Try this if you have a cold, flu or just generally feel unwell.

Now if only I could get my two little kids to eat some of the condiments instead of playing with it, spilling the sauce all over the clean, pink tablecloth! A recipe for disaster!

A raw smoothie that tastes like a non-alcoholic version of Sex on the Beach.

Blend 12 ounces young coconut (water and meat), 2 peeled frozen bananas, 1 peeled orange (de seeded), a peeled n pitted frozen peach.

Looking for effective cough remedies?

FYI. Many a time, you may get this chronic cough because mucus is flowing into the back of your throat. When it does that, you will automatically start to cough. So, how to get rid of this cough? Try my simple but highly effective gingery home remedy.

First, you pound some ginger into pulp. The amount you need is about the size of your thumb. Ginger is a well documented mucus expectorant, and raw ginger works best in this case.

Then, you put the ginger into a glass and add equal amounts of honey. Drizzle in about 1/2 ounce to 1 ounce water, just enough to stir. Honey not only improves the taste of the ginger juice, the thick honey coats the throat, alleviating discomfort. Even better, the antibacterial and antiseptic properties of honey aid in healing sore throats and laryngitis.

Sip slowwly, on an EMPTY stomach and feel the ginger tingle in your throat, doing it’s magic, getting rid of the mucus and clearing your sinus.

You HAVE to try this amazing gingery drink. It not only stops the cough, it also stops your runny nose and easing your sore throat. You can buy store bought ginger drops or off the shelf cough syrups, but you can’t guarantee the preservatives and coloring in those stuff will affect you or interfere with your other medicine.
