Papaya melon coolant smoothie

-

My understanding about food is based on colours, more colours tastier the food is. All colour veggies and fruits are edible according to me (bitter gourd is an exception, but sometime I eat that as well).  This is an extravagant coloured smoothie, natural colours of course. I do not include any processed or artificial colour in my food and so all colours come from either the fruits or veggies.

The onset of summer brings bright sun along with heat; best way to beat this heat is to bring body temperature down naturally. Do not go for cool drinks as the sugar rush isn’t good for health. Rather choose something wisely and see the difference. Adding coolant to reduce body heat is essential. I have added Almond gum here. Adding Almond gum or so called Badam pisin gives great texture to your drink and surely cools your body enough to beat the heat.



These small crystal like substances is almond gum, they are tiny crystal but they bloom really well when soaked overnight. It has no taste of its own and so blends well with any juice or smoothie it is added into. Also it adds lot of volume to your drink and added advantage you see.



This papaya melon coolant has:

½ cup of frozen Papaya.
½ cup of Honigmelone.
½ cup of muskmelon.
1” of Fresh Ginger.
1” of raw turmeric root.
1 tsp of Almond gum crystals soaked overnight,

Adding ginger and turmeric help you build immunity and help with digestion.
Blend all the ingredients until smooth and serve chilled. This will be mild sweet, however the ginger and turmeric taste would be over powering you may reduce quantity to suit your taste.

Note: Above ingredients are standard, however you may make slight changes to suit your taste buds.

My story of fibroids and aloe gel

Yes yes am talking about that gooey jelly stuff you find In that cactus kind of plant. Well not cactus really, but that Pricky plant with thick stem and has large amount of gel in it. OK I won't be talking about all the health benefits of aloe vera plant here except for one and since its my personal experience I can talk with all my knowledge. I have been suffering from uterine fibroids since few years well I have just one fibroid but a massive one, I was given only optional treat it was to get to get it operated and removed. The effects I faced due to the fibroid is directly proportional to its size, as the fibroid grew the problems also. I won't go deep into it, as its a medical condition and varies for every person. While I had tried various methods like castor oil packs, mustard oil massages, hot bag treatment and even certain medication. None of it helped, and the pain was so much that I was prescribed painkillers. We all no the side effects of painkillers,...

I Love You...........

Have you ever felt, Like you were holding a fragile heart, That could break any second, And then it shatters, And you don't know how to fix it? Then your world goes wild, With everything spinning but you, You stand still and stare at the moment, Not knowing what to say, Not even paying attention anymore. You want to say something to help the moment, But tears are saying enough. I want to hold the pieces of your broken heart, And put it back to one. I hold you close, Hoping you can forgive me, For hurting you so badly, I tell you I love you, And it's far from a lie. I cry on your chest, Apologizing again and again You finally pull me away and lift my face up towards yours, I look into your eyes, Wanting to turn away, But I'm forced by love to keep looking. And you say the three words I longed to hear:: I love you. You wipe away the tears, Leaning forward to place a kiss upon my lips, A...

I cry alone

Every night underneath the darkened skies Many tears fall from my saddened eyes. No one will ever feel my pain It’s strong enough to drive one insane. The torment inside is not fake, It burdens me from the moment I wake. I’m bound by invisible chains, Every attempt to break away is in vain. I need to be taken into strong arms By a man who will protect me from harm. Someone who won’t let me go Until then, I want you to know I cry alone. My head is in constant torment, For me, no one will lament. I feel like I am among the living dead, Wandering all alone in my head. Darkness is all I can see, Other than shadows looming all around me. I feel half alive, I don’t know how much longer I can survive. With you, I’ll forever feel protected, Loved, cared for and respected. My heart needs a place to call home. Until I can make you see, just know I cry alone. I don’t know what to do, For I have been torn in two. All I know ho...
