RECIPES FOR GOOD HEALTH

If you have headache, migraine or stress, a cocktail of hot milk and a raw egg is very useful. As milk and eggs are rich of calcium, a little calcium from the cocktail in the spinal cord is enough to calm the nervous system and to remove the increased excitability. This is particularly good for children as they are much more emotional than adults. If your child is irritable and nervous, if it often bites its nails, give it more milk, eggs, liver, kidneys, oat flakes, barley, walnuts, sprouting seeds, cabbage, beetroot, cucumbers and dandelion leaves. These foods are rich of calcium. If your child or you have white spots on your nails that means that you lack calcium.

If faecal is kept in the colon for more than 24 hours, that signals that the propulsive function of the intestines is impaired (by a spasm or atony) or there is some mechanical obstacle (a tumour or a scar). This impairment is mainly due to improper or irregular diet and to foods which lack cellulose. You can have headache, nervousness, irritability, apathy, dizziness and unpleasant taste in your mouth. In such cases you should eat porridges, vegetables, fruit and rye bread. Such foods irritate the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract mechanically. Yoghurt and sweet fruit with cottage cheese improve peristalsis.
