More on Chamomille Tea

In addition to the benefits mentioned yesterday, Chamomille tea helps improve liver function, such that the liver is able to get rid of toxins in the body. This has a couple effects on you. One is that this along with the antioxidant strengthening the immune system helps promote tissue repair. So if you have a wound or if you have an injury to muscle, your body will be able to heal these more quickly.

One of the other things that Chamomille tea does is sooth the stomach. So if you are having nausea, this tea can help settle that down.

One thing to keep in mind about Chamomille is that it has a cumulative effect. In other words, while it begins to work right away, it will also hang around in the body for several days, so if you don't drink it every day you will still be getting some of the benefits.

More on the Super Food Kiwi Fruit

As I mentioned yesterday, arginine is one of the key ingredients in Kiwi fruit. Arginine works in the liver to detoxify the liver by neutralizing ammonia and other toxic substances. I could go through the Krebs cycle, but you would be bored to death and what is important here is to understand that when you build up ammonia in the body, it eventually ends up forming aldehyde which you may know as formaldehyde, something we use to preserve bodies that have died. Sometimes this is referred to as pickling the body. The problem is we are not dead yet and we don't need or want our brain pickled. So the detoxification process in the liver is a critical element to us staying well and mentally sharp.

Arginine is is required for the body to form urea, which is how the body removes ammonia in the urine.
