CITRUS FRUIT


ORANGES, TANGERINES, LIMES, GRAPEFRUIT, PINEAPPLE and more…

Citrus fruits are CLEANSING, DETOXIFYING, FIBROUS, filled with ENZYMES and VITAMIN-PACKED!!


Check This: GREAT FOR THE LIVER~ GREAT FOR THE SKIN.


*Try the CITRUS CANNABIS SUPREME CREME by Hemptherapy to tone skin.*


Want BEAUTYFULL, TONED, GLOWING SKIN??? Rise and Retire to citrus fruits. This opens up and winds down the DIGESTIVE SYSTEM. Your ELIMINATIONS WILL FLOW EFFORTLESSLY. Your CELLS WILL REGENERATE quickly and you’ll FEEL REJUVENATED.


Citrus HELPS THE BODY HEAL FASTER. Really! Remember when you cut your finger last month and it took the entire month to heal? Now that you eat citrus, regularly, that same cut will HEAL IN A MATTER OF DAYS!!! For Realllll!


You already know citrus fruits BOOST IMMUNITY. So, you’ll maintain a healthy resistance to almost everything.

NUTS

Add Image

Nuts are hard-shelled fruits, which contain seeds that don’t open on their own when they mature. For our purposes, here, NUTS ARE ALL HARD-SHELLED FRUIT:

ALMONDS, WALNUTS, PECANS, BRAZILS, MACADAMIAS, COCONUTS (deserving of they’re own space), etc…

NUT SEASON extends throughout SUMMER and FALL. Once harvested, nuts become dry. However, they do retain their vital nutrients. So, we can EAT THEM YEAR-ROUND!!!

Nuts are superb sources of PROTEIN, FIBER, VITAMIN E, IRON, ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS and POLYUNSATURATED FATS (healthy fat).

*FYI: It’s my personal feeling, that they’re also a great source of VITAMIN D, because they receive it directly from the sun, then store it. I think this is true about many other fruits and veggies, as well. (Even though modern science says the only source for vitamin D is cow’s milk and the sun..LOL~ more on that later.)

*FYI 2: Vitamin & Mineral Naming really peeves me, too!! (A, D, E, Potassium, Iron, etc…) Only do it for the sake of making a point within a common context..SMH.

~Back to Nuts~

The NATURAL OILS nuts contain give SKIN ELASTICITY, GLOW and SOFTNESS; for the HAIR, they provide SHEEN and STRENGTH.

~I LOVE ALL KINDS of NUTS~ ^ _ ^

I make really DELICIOUS RAW and VEGAN dishes with them too!!

EAT LOTS OF NUTS!! Your Body Will Thank You!!!

APPLES

AN APPLE A DAY (in season) REALLY WILL KEEP THE DOCTOR AWAY!! (She says while munching on a yummy Gala) And, “When is in season?” you ask. Well, obviously (or not so obviously), it’s different for every fruit.


APPLE SEASON begins in SEPTEMBER and, depending on the weather and other factors, stretches all the way to late FEBRUARY/ early MARCH. For two whole seasons, we get to enjoy a multitude of apples: Gala, Golden Delicious, Granny Smith, Fuji, Braeburn, etc…


What do you mean, keep the doctor away?


Apples help to keep the system “regular”. They’re high in FIBER, POTASSIUM, VITAMIN C, etc… In addition to assisting the immune system, apples aid in REGULATING BOWEL MOVEMENTS. That’s right! The fiber makes apples great fruit for EASING CONSTIPATION. On the other hand, properties in apple juice make for a great DIARRHEA REMEDY. Interesting, huh?


BTW, GALA and FUJI are MY FAVS!! Although, I like to mixed either of those with Golden Delicious and Granny Smith when making APPLE PIE = yummmmmy!!!!!!!!!

AVOCADO

I love a Creamy, Luscious Avocado!!! Avocados range in taste from light and watery to thick and buttery, like the Californian Hass, which happens to be my favorite. This FRUIT contains Vitamin E, C, K, Potassium, Iron, etc… It is also High in PROTEIN and Nutritious Fats and Low in Cholesterol. Eat them alone or: as a side to your favorite meal; as main ingredient in a sandwich; mixed w/banana in a smoothie (if you’re adventurous!); and, numerous other ways…

There are many varieties of the Avocado, which can be grown as trees and plants. The trees are grown outdoors, mostly in tropical climates. The plants, grown indoors, are non-fruit bearing with beautiful, dark leaves.


By the way, AVOCADO SEASON is YEAR-ROUND!!! So, EAT UP!!


I like to think of AVOCADO as a FRIEND to MAN, WOMAN and CHILD. MEN LOVE that it’s a SUPER~PROTEIN they can eat liberally to aid in maintaining a MUSCULAR PHYSIQUE and NOT ADD POUNDS; WOMEN LOVE the benefits it provides to HAIR and SKIN; and, CHILDREN JUST LOVE IT!!! Not to mention, it’s really wonderful for them, too!!


Avocados make AN EXCELLENT EARLY FRUIT FOR BABY~ as they can be sliced on-hand, smashed, then served fresh on the spot. They’re quick, fresh and easy to carry on the go.


It’s true! The OIL FROM AVOCADOS is packed with Hair and Skin Enhancing Properties, making it great for SOFTENING the SKIN and ADDING SHEEN to the HAIR!! That’s why it’s a major ingredient in Royal Anointing Oil and Cannabis Supreme Cremes by Hemptherapy.


Hemptherapy oils and crèmes moisturize, nourish and guard hair against splitting and drying, while protecting skin from dehydration.

HEALTHY SKIN Comes Mostly From WITHIN

The saying goes, "As Above, So Below." So, too, with our bodies. As Within~ On the Skin.

The skin is the largest organ on (not within) our bodie
s. It displays exactly what's going on with our other organs and in our bloodstream. Our skin was designed to communicate with us by delivering the inner body's messages.

T
hese are a few of the indicators skin uses: dryness, excessive sweating, eczema, psoriasis, acne, blotches, blemishes, dark marks, redness, roughness, and the amount of elasticity. As you can see, they may be extreme or minor.

Remember this: Any and All indicators can be Restored to a position of Balance. In other words, any skin ailment can be "cured" with a regimen of eating the proper foods, getting the best possible exercise, using the highest quality products and, most importantly, THINKING POSITIVE LIFE-CHANGING THOUGHTS.

I Have Done it in dramatic instances and continue to do it on a daily basis.
