Do You Know How Your Body Works?
Yes you can eat it and its good for you. Nopales is an indigenous type of edible cactus plant that is a traditional food for both Mexicans and Native Americans. Most people saute the Nopales or add it to the top of traditional meals, for instance Arrachera [atop this Mexican dish]; but eating Nopales raw gives more nutritional value. You can add chopped Nopales to a salad or throw it in the blender with other fruits like sweet strawberries, which are now in season & add Grade A maple syrup to sweeten withcoconut milk as your main liquid. About 1 and 1/4 cup of Nopales has 22% daily value of Manganese, 16% of Calcium, 15% of Vitamin C, 13% of Magnesium and lots more.

Jean-Michel Basquiat (December 22, 1960 – August 12, 1988) was an American artist born in Brooklyn, New York City. He gained fame, first as a graffiti artist in New York City, and then as a highly successful Neo-expressionist artist in the international art scene of the 1980s. Many recognize Basquiat as a leading figure in contemporary art, and his paintings continue to command high prices in the art market.

Although her life on this earth was brief and quite often turbulent and painful, she left us with a legacy of art that rivals all others. Using her own unique “folkloric” style of painting, Frida painted the diary of her life. Each painting, rather it be a self-portrait or a still life, captures a moment in her life. They reflect the emotions of her turbulent relationship with her husband, the famous muralist Diego Rivera, the life long physical and emotional pain she endured as a result of a tragic bus accident and her inability to have children. During her life time Frida created some 200 paintings, drawings and sketches related to her experiences in life.
New artists coming this Saturday!

HERE’S A START TO A BETTER, HEALTHIER, MORE TONED BODY AND MENTAL CLARITY. THIS FIRST WEEK WE’LL GET STARTED WITH VITAMINS…WHAT THEY DO FOR YOUR BODY AND HOW YOU CAN USE FOODS AND NATURAL MEDICINE TO ACHIEVE OPTIMUM HEALTH AND YOUTH.
VITAMIN A
WHAT FOODS ARE RICH IN VITAMIN A?
Article excerpts from Thrive Online
Top ten vitamin A-rich foods:
• liver
• sweet potatos
• carrots
• mangoes
• spinach
• cantaloupe
• dried apricots
• milk
• egg yolks
• mozzarella cheese
A word of caution: Too much vitamin A, either FROM ANIMAL SOURCES or SUPPLEMENTS, can prove toxic and is particularly dangerous during pregnancy. Excess beta carotene, on the other hand, isn’t toxic but can lend you a decidedly orange hue.
WHAT DOES VITAMIN A DO?
It plays a vital role in the growth and repair of body tissues, and is particularly important in maintaining good eyesight and healthy skin, as well as aiding in bone and teeth formation. Recent research suggests that it may also function as an anti-oxidant.
