Meal Kits are Taking Over the USofA Who knew that prep (meal kit) and no prep (heat and eat) meal delivery services would eventually become the future?  When it comes to cooking, either you know how to do it or you do not.  If you fall into the latter category, you probably get by ordering out everyday or if you have the means, hire a private chef.  What I love most about meal delivery services is that it doesn't matter what category you fall into! If you don't know how to cook, you can most certainly learn through prep (meal kit) based meal delivery services.  On the other hand, if you are an experienced cook, prep and no prep delivery plans allow for the food experimenter to achieve the bliss of food diversity.  Eating the same foods over and over can get a bit boring!  If you're someone who loves to try new foods and recipes ALL the time, meal delivery services may be the route that you need to take.  Thanks to food delivery services such as Hello F...

Developing Research on How Fruits & Vegetables Can help to Fight COVID-19

“Eat your Fruits and Vegetables” was probably a command that the average person was likely to hear growing up. I know i had an aunt who preached fruit and vegetables all the time and I’m grateful that it rubbed off! Be thankful for all the fruit and vegetable preachers in your life because they are offering sound wisdom. Certain folks scoff at the sight of vegetables and fruits and it could be due to taste or general dislike of them. Realize and accept that fruits and vegetables have so much to offer to you—healthwise!





The fact is that fruits and vegetables contain healing phytochemicals that are effective in fighting diseases and various other ailments. Numerous scientific studies support this fact. Phytochemicals are responsible for giving fruit, spices, herbs and vegetables their aroma, color and smell and are instrumental in maintaining and improving immunity. Diets full of meat and unhealthy foods will negatively impact overall immunity.

A study named the UK Phyto-V Covid-19 Study has been developed to understand how phytochemicals in fruits, vegetables and plants such as pomegranate, citrus, turmeric, and aloe vera can help COVID-19 symptoms to disappear. The study is being led by Dr. Robert Thomas of Bedford Hospital in the UK. Participants of the double blind placebo controlled trial take a supplement which contains a combination of phytochemicals such as curcuminoids (turmeric), apigenin (chamomile tea, celery, citrus), catechins and ellagic acid (green tea, pomegranate), quercetin (Apples, onions, red wine), hesperetin (citrus fruits), aloe emodin (aloe).

Dr. Thomas identified in a previous study that these phytochemicals reduced SARS’s ability to replicate. the focus of the current study will help to understand how these phytochemicals reduce symptoms of COVID-19. Participants consume the supplements for a period of 4 weeks or until their COVID-19 symptoms disappear.


CONFIRMED: POMEGRANATE EXTRACT FIGHTS VIRUSES and covid-19

Another research study determined that pomegranate peels are capable of inhibiting COVID-19 as they were previously found to be inhibitors of the SARS virus which is similar to Covid-19. This study was led by Dr. Relja Surucic who is affiliated with the University of Banja Luka in Bosnia. Pomegranate peel extract contains the phytochemical punicalagin which is what blocks the virus from entering host cells. According to Dr. Surucic, pomegranate extract IS also helpful in fighting viruses such as herpes virus, influenza virus, poxviruses, and human immunodeficiency virus.

THE Phyto V COVID-19 study is still recruiting participants to take part. If you are in the UK, have had a positive COVID-19 test result and are interested in participating in the study please visit:

There are a few other similar studies that are being developed in india, the middle east and spain.
The evidence produced from current scientific studies such as these goes to show you that nature really is the best remedy!

Image
1800 Tequila is a spirit brand that has managed to create a diamond made from Mexican tequila. Their tequila is made in Tequila, Mexico using a traditional distillation process extracted from blue Weber agave. 1800 Tequila is known for its flavored tequilas such as coconut and a ñejo , an expression with rich butterscotch and vanilla notes. 1800 Tequila has diverged from their usual route of tequila production to enter the luxury jewelry scene. The unique 5.5 carat diamond was unveiled at this year’s Met Gala whose theme was centered around the Black Dandy expressionist form. The diamond was crafted into a brooch designed by Jonathan Raksha and was worn by actress and vocalist, Janelle Monae. There was no other deserving person to wear this masterpiece as Monae has been somewhat of a new school pioneer of Dandy expressionism.   The diamond was flanked in white gold within an inverted setting surrounded by smaller diamonds and also white sapphires. 1800 Tequila is always pushin...
