10 Wild Foods That Are Healthier Than Store-Bought Produce

Fresh food is great, organic food is amazing, and local-fresh-organic food is about as wonderful as it gets. That is, until we step back into the wild. Outside of every gourmet health food store (literally) grows wild food that has more healing properties than what lies within the brick walls.

These foods never run out; nature’s shelves are fully stocked. The best part is, you don’t have to wait for sales.

Eat Your Weeds!

When we eat straight from the earth, we’re living on our energy peaks unlike anything I can describe. Nutritionally, it makes sense, as wild foods are the true local foods and do not lose their nutrients via radiation or during the time it takes to transport them from state to state.

When you eat wild food, you are consuming the nutrients at their peak and much of their life force is still intact. Nothing is more energizing than eating a food straight from the vine or tree as it blooms in its natural habitat.

Avoid Hybridization & GMO

Sadly, much of the produce even in the finest markets is designed for aesthetic appeal for the dinner table. Wild foods aren’t always the prettiest, and they’re usually much smaller than their hybridized counterparts found in stores.

Apples’ original genetic species, for example, was berries. Through hybridizing, they’ve grown to be over 60 times their original size. Along with size, their sugar (fructose) content has more than quadrupled as well. Could this have something to do with the diabetes epidemic? I think so.

So why create hybridized foods that have harmful effects on our health? In a word, salability. When it comes to most food we find in stores, nutritional value, flavor, and other important qualities – like environmental impact – are given less respect. As most of us know by now, it’s all about the money.

Because this is a highly controversial subject, I’ll end here and make the suggestion that anyone interested do his or her own research. As for a solution, wild foods to the rescue!

We can completely bypass this whole mess by simply learning to forage and consume more wild foods. GMOs and hybrids are man-made creations; therefore, they wouldn’t survive indefinitely without man via modern agriculture. For example, how would seedless fruits propagate in the wild? Seeds are the life force!

Wild foods are filled with seeds – seek them out and eat them regularly and you too will have more life force! These wild edibles are designed to be naturally strong, healthy, and adaptable. They are good examples of the survival of the fittest – they don’t need us to thrive. Have you ever seen a dandelion growing between the cracks of cement? Now that’s a powerful plant, and it’s a food!

Wild Vs. Organic

Wild plants are not only cleaner, but also stronger than commercial produce. That’s because, as I’ve mentioned several times now, wild foods are examples of the survival of the fittest. Organic produce is great; however, it needs a lot of maintenance. Many of them would perish without upkeep.

How this transfers to us through eating them is in their general life force? Eating a wild plant versus an organic one will not only have higher levels of nutrients, but will also give us higher levels of energy.

Another reason wild food is superior to even the finest organic produce is its general purity. So many different people handle foods in stores. As they make their way from field to truck to farm to truck to shipping to store (and wherever else in between) they are handled by countless people. Who knows how hygienic each situation truly is?

This isn’t meant to be another fear-based concept; rather, it’s to point out that wild foods cut out many middlemen where things could potentially go wrong. Many types of produce could easily bring dozens of communally exchangeable bacteria through this way, simply because they are exposed to so many different opportunities to pick something up.

Though this may be awkward for some to consider, the fact is that store-bought food is handled by many individuals, and we have no certainty about the circumstances. Chances are, the wild foods you pick have only been handled by you and at worst, a few bugs and animals — which are much more natural circumstances compared to the handling of even organic foods.

10 Easy-To-Find Wild Edibles

Below I will share some of the most common wild foods that can be found all across North America. To learn more on how to identify them and when they are in season in your area do a Google search or pick up a book or DVD on wild food foraging. The guide I use personally is by Markus Rothkranz, called “Free Food and Medicine”.

1. Pine Needles

Yes, I am referring to Christmas trees. Leave it to humans to use medicinal plants solely for décor. However, the needles on “wild Christmas trees” — or pine trees — contain 300 times more vitamin C than oranges, MSM, and sulfur. Use them like you would rosemary or boil in water for a powerful tea that can whip a respiratory infection.

2. Pine Pollen

Also found on the common pine tree, pine pollen needs some preparation time, as it’s only available for a short duration of time during the very beginning of spring.

Pine pollen is renowned as a powerful androgen and beauty tonic for skin, and it’s a nutritional powerhouse. It contains a wide range of vitamins and minerals such as vitamins A, beta carotene, vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, folic acid, vitamin D and vitamin E.

It also has tons of important minerals such as copper, calcium, iron, manganese, magnesium, molybdenum, phosphorous, potassium, selenium, silica, sodium and zinc! Not to mention, it is a rich source of amino acids.

3. Dandelion

You know that little yellow flower in everyone’s lawn that people spend tons of money on getting rid of because it’s an ugly weed? It’s probably the healthiest food you’ve never eaten. It’s nature’s gift to us.

How funny that we complain about money problems and health problems but spend our money getting rid of the things that’d give us perfect health? Mind-blowing moment every time I talk about this.

Anyway, this weed is actually a powerful liver tonic, digestive aid, beauty food, and antioxidant. It can be used to cleanse the blood, urinary tract, lymphatic system and improve circulation.

Dandelions also regulate intestinal flora. The polyphenols in the leaves are a prebiotic. You can eat all parts of this plant. The flower is a powerful source of lecithin, the roots are a diuretic and the leaves stimulate the vagus nerve to produce bile.

4. Nettles

Want gorgeous hair and skin? Eat your nettle; they are one of the highest sources of silicon, which is needed to produce collagen and hair. However, before you go grabbing handfuls, be careful while picking because they have little stingers! If you’re in America, these can be found just about everywhere wild vegetation is growing during the spring.

The medicinal properties of nettle are very similar to dandelion. This is a very powerful non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and works especially well to reduce prostate inflammation and nourish the prostate. Nettle is a great kidney tonic; it lowers blood sugar and increases insulin sensitivity as it’s a rich source of chromium.

It’s even been known to dissolve kidney stones! Adrenal problems? Grab some nettle. It’s even high in plant protein, so if you were lost in the wild and needed to, you could survive off the stuff.

5. Plantain

Another common weed that grows right next to dandelions in most people’s lawns, this plantain is not the banana-looking plantain you may be thinking of. I am referring to the small common weed. This is commonly used as a natural pain reliever, as it’s rich in tannins and used in many salves.

If you have a toothache or sore you can chew these leaves up and pack it around the affected area. It’s also known as a body purifier, great for cleansing toxic congestion in all areas of the body.

6. Mulberries (Wild Berries)

Not all wild foods are green weeds; a lot of them are actually delicious! Mulberries are just one of the hundreds of wild berries that grow for free in nature still. Where I live, I know of at least 20 mulberry trees that produce more berries than I know how to appropriately eat.

Not too far away I can find wild raspberries, June berries, blackberries, and even cherries! They are of course a bit smaller and less sweet than the ones in stores, but if you have a natural palate they are divinely delicious! Not only are they free, but they are also medicinal.

Mulberries can be eaten and work wonders on the digestive system. All other parts of the bush can be consumed too; the leaves and stems have healing properties, as well.

If you pick these this during spring you’ll notice they stain your hands (and clothes, so don’t dress up!) This is because they are rich in anthocyanin, which a powerful antioxidant. Mulberries contain zeaxanthin, an important dietary carotenoid thought to protect the retina from harmful ultraviolet rays and improve eye health.

7. Aloe Vera

This miracle plant heals itself when you cut it — if that doesn’t say enough, then allow me to impress you more. You can live off aloe vera, if it’s in your area, as it only grows in more desert-like climates. It has all kinds of amino acids, minerals, enzymes, antibiotics and more. Put it on your skin and it soaks right into your bloodstream.

The rich amount of silicon and sulfur in aloe helps to build strong artery cell walls, mucous membranes, connective tissues, and even helps with varicose veins and hemorrhoidsAloe is perhaps one of the best digestive aids and therefore is also a beauty aid.

8. Citrus

Like aloe and other cactuses, wild citrus fruits are going to be found in warmer climates like Florida, Italy and California. If you live in these areas, it’s not uncommon to find various wild citrus trees. Everything from lemons, grapefruits, oranges, mandarins and kumquats grow in these regions.

Citrus fruits are an underrated medicine. They cleanse the liver, kidneys and blood. They are incredible sources of vitamin C and break down fat in the liver. The liver is the center of our physical health. When the liver is weak, our entire body is weak. The benefits citrus has on the liver alone make it worth consuming daily. Not to mention, citrus is delicious and hydrating!

9. Clover

You can find clover right in your front lawn. You know the little white/pink flowers the bees buzz around? Those are clovers. You can find them in health food stores sold as tea for a price or you can pick them in your own yard for free and fresher! These are especially great for women.

Clover contains 4 different phytoestrogens, including the 2 found in soy. While soy can disrupt thyroid and hormone balance, clover actually regulates hormone balance and protects the body from the negative side effects of estrogen imbalance. Clover is great for the skin, especially for psoriasis. It’s also been used as a tonic for prostate issues, menopause and hot flashes!

10. Malva

This small weed that grows in just about every grassy area is anti-inflammatorypromotes a strong immune system, and aids the urinary tract. It’s medicinal for healing the digestive tract and associated disorders like ulcers, eczema, and psoriasis. It also treats the lungs, helping with emphysema, bronchitis, and asthma while helping to expel phlegm and mucus.

Other Reasons to Go Wild

  • Stress-free and Happier – We all know most of our health problems would be solved if we just didn’t worry and stress. The ability to be even somewhat self-reliant via wild food foraging can contribute to a general sense of well-being.

The freedom from consumerism and the joy of frolicking through nature as you pick berries and weeds is incredibly relaxing. Try just sitting in a meadow of wild flora and take note of how it affects your mood.

  • Oxygenate – The fresh air and exercise that is available through the activity of wild food foraging is also beneficial. Foraging is a great way to employ natural movement such as bending, twisting, climbing, and walking. Nothing oxygenates the blood and brain quite like exercising in nature. The benefits for the body and mind are too vast for a bullet point.
  • A healthier gut and improved immunity – Wild foods contain the soil-based organisms that so many of us lack in our diet because of a fear-based germophobic mentality when it comes to our food.

All of our food is so sterile that it lacks not only healthy soil, which contains probiotics and minerals, but it sometimes even lacks seeds! Getting wild food into your diet is a simple way to expose you to the elements where your immunity will be naturally boosted.

In this article, I’ve explained a number of reasons to use wild plants as food and medicine. These miracle foods have superior nutritional qualities and some are even more powerful than drugs and medications.

Foraging is a great way to avoid the drawbacks of modern farming like hybridization, GMOs and GEOs, commercial fertilizer, pesticides, herbicides and fungicides, lack of freshness, chemicals, and even potential socially-transmissible diseases.

I encourage the consumption of wild foods for optimal wellness and as the most effective eco-sustainable practice you can do. At the very least, get out in the fresh air, reconnect with Mother Nature and play in some dirt! Nature holds the keys to unlocking our greatest health, and all we have to do is search.

What is the Best Natural Solution to Lower Blood Pressure?

 

Are you looking for the best natural solution to lower blood pressure? Read on to learn about the High Blood Pressure Exercise Program created by Christian Goodman from Heron Health News.

Best Natural Solution to Lower Blood Pressure – Do This with High Blood Pressure, but Do It Right!

If you’ve been diagnosed with high blood pressure, there is one thing you absolutely must do. It will save your life.

According to a study presented at the American Society for Nephrology’s annual meeting in Philadelphia, most people do this in the wrong way, often with grave consequences.

The good news is that it’s extremely easy to fix this error. It takes two minutes.

Any good doctor will encourage you to take your own blood pressure at home. In

fact, you should measure your blood pressure three times a day and take the average of all readings throughout the week.

That’s the only way to get somewhat accurate readings.

The doctors from Ottawa Hospital in Canada discovered a terrifying fact: most home blood pressure monitors are not so accurate.

This means that you can be at home taking your blood pressure and falsely believe it’s either okay when it’s not, or too high when it’s okay.

Both cases are bad, because you either don’t take action to fix things or worry unnecessarily, which can actually cause high blood pressure.

What makes things even more complicated is that most people have some level of “white coat syndrome,” where your blood pressure is higher in the doctor’s office than at home. So, if your blood pressure is okay at home, but high at the doctor’s, you may just write it off as “white coat syndrome.”

The most expensive monitors are not always the best. Consumer Reports has repeatedly rated the cheap Wal-Mart brand monitors as the best.

What is the solution?

Simply bring your blood pressure monitor with you to the doctor’s office. Check your blood pressure using your monitor immediately after your doctor does his checking.

Even if you have white coat syndrome, the reading should be somewhat similar.

Don’t worry if the numbers are a little off. High blood pressure is not an exact science. It jumps up and down throughout the day.

You just want to keep yourself within a general area of measurement. Usually, we talk about 120/80, but don’t worry if it goes up to 130/90 or even higher once in a while.

However, if your blood pressure numbers average over 120/80, you will want to take actions to lower it naturally.

The best natural solution to lower blood pressure is these simple, easy, nine-minute exercises. You can learn more about these blood pressure exercises here…

Best Natural Solution to Lower Blood Pressure – High Blood Pressure’s Strange Side Effect

We all know that high blood pressure more often than not leads to serious diseases like stroke, heart attackkidney failuredementia, and ED.

But there is one strange health issue high blood pressure causes. One that nobody talks about.

Yet, it’s so serious that many people would rather die than live without this.

Most of us wouldn’t think that color vision was affected by high blood pressure. Heck, most of us don’t really think about color vision at all.

But it’s an extremely important part of our vision. It’s the ability to distinguish between different colors that look alike. With detailed color vision, you see your environment with depth and clarity. With less detailed color vision, things become flat and bleak.

Since high blood pressure has been proven to affect vision in many ways, researchers from Saitama Medical University in Japan decided to research color vision as well.

They gave 872 men between the ages of 20 and 60 a specific color vision test. Of these, 162 men failed the test.

Men with high blood pressure were much more likely to fail the test. The higher their blood pressure was, the more likely they were to flunk.

There are, of course, many aspects of vision more important than color distinction.

But this study is one of many that prove that high blood pressure seriously affects eyesight.

It can even lead to complete blindness.

The longer your blood pressure remains high, the more it negatively affects your vision and other parts of your body.

The easiest and most effective natural method I know to lower blood pressure uses three easy exercises. Learn more about these simple blood pressure exercises here…

Best Natural Solution to Lower Blood Pressure – The Filthy Cause of High Blood Pressure and How to Clean It

High blood pressure is often referred to as “the silent killer;” its causes and effects are considered sneaky and hard to detect.

Today I’m going to tell you about a dirty cause of high blood pressure. One that, in a new study, was proven to drastically raise blood pressure. And then it was tripled by another dirty cause.

The worst part is that you’re exposed to this, every single day, and without a shadow of doubt, it’s affecting your health.

Researchers measured pollution in the homes of 280 women in rural China. Their blood pressure was then measured, and the two were compared.

There were two major types of pollution from which these women suffered.

One was the pollution from the open fire stoves used for cooking, which raised the women’s systolic blood pressure almost five points on its own.

However, having a highway close by tripled the bad effects of the open stoves on the women’s blood pressure.

The study shows just how dangerous air pollution is for our health. Most of us living in the western world don’t cook on an open wood or coal fire inside our houses.

But we’re constantly surrounded by traffic and often live near a highway. These conditions have repeatedly been proven to raise people’s blood pressure, not only from the air pollution but also from the sensory stress of the traffic noise.

If you have to be around a lot of traffic, try to counteract it by spending time in nature.

Go for a walk in areas with lots of trees and no cars. Your health will thank you.

What is the Best Way to Tackle Your Arthritis Naturally?

 

Tackle Your Arthritis Naturally - There is no plant like this one. It can be used to improve all diseases. You can make cream out of it to apply to your skin or a tasty juice that works better than most medicine. It has special healing properties for arthritis and type 2 diabetes. Read on to find out more.

Tackle Your Arthritis Naturally – This Plant Cures Arthritis and Type 2 Diabetes

There is no plant like this one. It can be used to improve all diseases. You can make cream out of it to apply to your skin or a tasty juice that works better than most medicine.

It has special healing properties for arthritis and type 2 diabetes.

It’s also extremely easy to grow. You hardly ever have to water it. Or if plants are not your thing, you can find its gel in every health food store.

Although aloe vera contains 99% water, the remaining 1% includes two extremely powerful healing substances. Glycoprotein stops inflammation and pain, while polysaccharides speed up cell recovery and repair.

These anti-inflammatory properties make aloe vera an excellent plant for arthritis, whether it is applied to the joints externally or consumed orally.

Preparing aloe vera is easy. Cut off one leaf, slit it open sideways, and squeeze out the gel. That’s it.

For external use, apply the gel directly to the painful area. There is no risk of side effects when it is used like this.

As a drink, add a scoop of aloe vera gel into fruit juice and mix well in a blender.

Start out with a tiny scoop to see how it affects you. Some people experience a drop in blood sugar, diarrhea, and other side effects when it is used internally.

Side effects for one person can be heaven-sent results for another. A drop in blood sugar is exactly why aloe vera is considered incredible for type 2 diabetes. Again, be careful to start slowly, as this is a powerful plant.

If you don’t want to go through the hassle of growing your own aloe vera, you can find organic aloe vera gel in your local health food store.

If aloe vera is not enough to cure your arthritis, here are other steps I took to permanently reverse my long-lasting, crippling arthritis …

If you’re suffering from type 2 diabetes, here is a 3-step strategy to get type 2 diabetes under control—starting today…

Tackle Your Arthritis Naturally – Your Arthritis Caused by a Teenage Condition

A new study from the University of Basel and Ruhr University Bochum the journal PLOS ONE summarizes a weird connection between a teenage condition and arthritis later in life.

This is something most teenagers experience to some level, but when out of hand, could lead to this serious condition.

The good news is that you can still reverse arthritis naturally even if you suffered this condition as a teenager.

The researchers analyzed health information of 6,483 teenagers collected by the National Comorbidity Survey Replication Adolescent Supplement, a national survey of American teenagers between ages 13 and 18 that took place between 2001 and 2004.

They then collected additional health and mental health information via self-report questionnaires given to the participants (now adults) and to those who were their parents or guardians during adolescence. They also collected doctors’ reports, where available.

The most interesting findings were that adolescents who suffered from depression were more likely than their peers to suffer from arthritis later in life.

This is very interesting, as the two conditions seem at first glance not to have anything in common.

But things are not always as they seem at first.

Previous studies have, for example, shown that depression can make us more sensitive to pain. It also interferes with our immune system-causing inflammation.

The good news is that thousands of readers have already used these 3 steps here to completely rid themselves of arthritis (no matter what the original cause was)…

Tackle Your Arthritis Naturally – Why Arthritis Patients Suffer Heart Attack and How to Prevent It

It’s a well-known fact that arthritis sufferers are more likely to have heart attacks and other varieties of cardiovascular disease.

In fact, studies have revealed that arthritis sufferers were 60% more likely to suffer heart attack and 50% more likely to die from cardiovascular disease than the general public.

But why this happens has been somewhat of a mystery.

Now, however, two new studies presented at the November 2016 conference of the American College of Rheumatology in Washington, D.C. have revealed the mechanism that causes heart attack in people with arthritis and a possible solution to it.

University of Colombia researchers performed positron emission tomography (PET) and three-dimensional echocardiography on 118 people suffering from arthritis and 113 healthy individuals to examine the structure, volume, and functioning of their hearts.

While they did not find structural differences, they did notice that their arthritic subjects had a lot of inflammation inside their hearts, especially of the walls of their hearts’ ventricles.

On average, the arthritic subjects had 12 percent higher heart inflammation than the non-arthritic subjects, a number that jumped to 30 percent when those with mild arthritis were excluded.

In other words, those with moderate or severe arthritis had 30% more heart inflammation than those without arthritis.

This inflammation, cause with time structural changes in hearts that prevents them from functioning properly.

On the upside, their second study found that those who treated their arthritis had much lower heart inflammation than those who did not treat it or treated it insufficiently.

So you absolutely must take action today to tackle your arthritis naturally. Here is the 3-step strategy that thousands of readers have successfully used…

And here is the step-by-step strategy to lower cholesterol and completely clear out clogged heart arteries in 28 days or less – preventing stroke and heart attack…

This post is from the Arthritis Strategy Program. It was created by Shelly Manning, a former arthritis sufferer and a health consultant.

A Brief Background on the Author

Like you, Shelly Manning also suffered from arthritis, particularly osteoarthritis. This was due to her weight and desk job. Her condition eventually took a toll on her relationship with her (former) husband.

It was when she went to Hong Kong that she met Janerdquo, an old woman who owned the restaurant where she ate. Janerdquo supposedly offered her a bowl of a weird-smelling soup, which helped ease her joint pain. She ate there each day for 10 days until she was completely healed from arthritis.

Shelly Manning decided to research this natural remedy and to create a step-by-step treatment plan to others who are suffering from different types of arthritis, such as gout, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, and psoriatic arthritis.

That’s why she created “The Arthritis Step By Step Strategy.” According to her claims, this unique strategy will get rid of joint pain and stiffness, repair your damaged joints, and treat the underlying cause of your arthritis.

Shelly teamed up with Christian Goodman, the owner of Blue Heron Health News, a publishing company that aims to help people to take responsibility for their own health by using natural health alternatives for preventing arthritis in fingers and knees naturally.
