Tasty Foods That Fight Aggravating Allergies
By Grace O
When pollen is flying through the air on an autumn breeze, foods that reduce allergy symptoms can be a lifesaver. Eating specific compounds -- such as the FoodTrients omega-3 fatty acids, curcumin, gingerol, oleuropein, and quercitin, as well as probiotics -- go a long way toward reducing the swelling of nasal passages and the production of antihistamines. Omega-3 fatty acids are found in large, deep-water fish, whole grains, and nuts. You can also take omega-3 supplements daily to help fight inflammation. Curcumin is an ingredient of the spice turmeric. I have a few recipes using turmeric if you need some ideas for how to use this spice most commonly found in curry powders. Read More

Cherimoya Circles
By Grace O
A tropical American fruit, cherimoyas are popular in the Southern Hemisphere and Spain. In Britain they're called custard apples, which aptly describes their texture and flavor. Cherimoyas can be purchased online from melissas.com and need to be allowed to ripen until soft before using. The black seeds are poisonous when crushed, so be sure to discard them. Cherimoyas offer vitamin B6--an antioxidant and an anti-inflammatory, vitamin C, iron, and riboflavin for cell energy. These small, candy-like balls have a custardy flavor. Since many people have never tried cherimoyas, I like to serve them this way at parties as a small, dainty delicacy. I also like to eat them right out of the rind with a spoon.
