I’m beginning to get a little concerned hearing about so many of you with heart problems and other ailments on major drugs to keep the ticker and other tissues in check. Well you know we here at MartyBLOGs are big time actionists so I’m going to make a serious proactive suggestion to you. I have quite a few friends with heart problems in particular. The plants listed below are known to be cleansing for the body in general and for the heart and blood in particular.

For you heart patients, diabetics and people with other common major ailments why don’t you give it a try, then tell your doctor about your efforts to be more proactive about your health? They likely already want you to have a better diet than you’re used to providing for yourself so here’s a start. I’ll bet you anything you’ll start coming off of some of those meds because you’ll be helping your body to heal itself (or at least put less pressure on your organs) slowly but surely over time.

Not to mention what you can do for your overall health when you simply begin seasoning your cooking with these same ingredients. Heal yourself and improve your home cheffing skills all at once.

O.K. so here’s the recipe:Two cloves of garlic
A few slivers of ginger
A few slices of onion
Apple cider vinegar
A few squirts of agave

Grind it up with your favorite hand veggie chopper or blend it in your fave mixer. Mince the ingredients as much or as little as you like. Pour the mix into a pot of boiling water and let it set for a while so all the oils and flavors have plenty of time to seep out.

Pour the juice into a container (Use a strainer to retain the veggie pieces) and dilute it to your personal taste bud tolerance. You may like it stronger or weaker (more or less extra water), more bitter or sweet (as is or a touch more agave). Drink as a general daily tea to ward off the ookies or dose heavily to subdue them when they try to overcome you.

Try this for a while for your own benefit and see if you don’t shock your physician with improved readings on all of your statistics on your next visit.
