<h1>The Soursop, the magical fruit</h1>
<h3>Soursop is the fruit of soursop (Annona muricata, family Annonaceae).
It measures up to 30 cm long and can weigh up to 4 or 5 kg.
Its exterior is dark green, its bark thorns pricked.
Its flesh is white and fleshy with black seeds (indigestible).
In Brazil, this fruit is called graviola, sapodilla and the island of La Reunion (from the name of
the fruit in India, Sapadille), also called soursop in English, in guanabana, Spanish, or, mang-
cau Vietnam or yet thu-riankhaek Thailand.
Soursop fruit is an energy with high carbohydrate content.
It is rich in vitamin C, which facilitates the absorption of iron (also present in soursop).
It also contains fiber and minerals, including potassium, calcium and magnesium ...
The sweet taste of soursop allows to consume wild without adding sugar. It is also eaten as fruit
salad, juice or sherbets and even cooked like in Indonesia flan or gratin.
Peeled and stripped of its seeds, soursop can also be cooked.</h3></br>
<h2>Therapeutic Properties</h2>
<h3> Soursop name comes from Dutch "zuur zak", meaning sour fruit. Parts of the plant began to flower, leaf, fruit, seeds, bark, and roots can be used as traditional medicine.
In the early 1990s, found 34 Cytotoxic compounds, on soursop leaves are able to inhibit to kill body cells that have abnormal growth (cancer cells). These compounds have several advantages when compared with current cancer treatments, among others, to kill cancer effectively and safely, without causing nausea and vomiting and without weight loss or loss of hair in large numbers.
Soursop leaves known to contain substances capable of acetogenins annonaceous 10,000 times more potent cell-killing cancer cells than adriamycin substance, commonly used in chemotherapy treatment. Substance acetogenins can kill various types of cancer, like colon cancer, thyroid, prostate, lung, breast, and pancreatic disease even hemorrhoids without damaging or disturbing the body's cells healthy. This has been investigated in the laboratory of the Health Sciences Institute, the United States under the supervision of the National Cancer Institute, the United States.
"Before deciding to eat processed soursop leaves as a treatment for cancer or tumors, you should consult first with your doctor or herbalist place during this treatment. Therefore, it is feared you have allergies to soursop or drugs during the time you consume an effect reversed by compounds in soursop leaf, "explains Stephen, herbalist from Herbacure, on his presentation. </h3></br>
<h2>A powerful anti-cancer</h2>
<h3>Nature surprises us more and more. The virtues of this fruit are ignored by the majority of the
population in the world and particularly by people who have cancer. However, soursop, still
known as Guanabana or Graviola is a fruit that its anti-cancer properties are scientifically
proven.
The bark, fruits, leaves and roots act on the cells of our body. The leaves of the tree can destroy
cancer cells and act ten thousand times as chemotherapy and without side effects (weight loss,
hair loss, etc.). The graviola ensures its reputation among researchers in the cure of breast
cancer, bowel, ovary, liver and lungs.
All parts of this tree are used in natural medicine, nothing is lost because the bark, roots, fruits,
leaves and seeds are beneficial to the health of humans.
According to the research results of PURDUE American university, the leaves of this tree
are more important. Indeed, they can destroy cancer cells.
So if you happen to make juice at home, choose primarily soursop juice!</h3></br>

<h1 style="background-color: #aaffee;">Building a Good Sellable Product</h1>
<h3 style="background-color:#aaffee;">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><o:p></o:p></span> </div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Many producers have developed products they believed would trade
well. In their eagerness, they marketed these products or services via sales letters
to websites in order to receive traffic. Nevertheless, many of these vendors
have failed to recall the most imperative element that will affect their
product sales: the "sellability" of the goods. For example, if you
choose to put your house in the market for rent, before doing so, you must fix
and repaint it in order to be attractive to potential buyers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2L3Q2wfuM56yfRUIqi51cgxBcK0_p2o6Xfvw2O-sXGaM-ekYss_FFyk1IJc-5Pgbosze85gGThLdQWpOoouIuckY_sQ_lMYz3cgdBlOWROwjMfXxC2ZQuTZieE-gmrXXUjNtibj5WB4Fu/s1600/sellproduc.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2L3Q2wfuM56yfRUIqi51cgxBcK0_p2o6Xfvw2O-sXGaM-ekYss_FFyk1IJc-5Pgbosze85gGThLdQWpOoouIuckY_sQ_lMYz3cgdBlOWROwjMfXxC2ZQuTZieE-gmrXXUjNtibj5WB4Fu/s320/sellproduc.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Once you start creating products or obtaining rights to sell
affiliates’ products, the best main aspect you should take into consideration
is the demand of goods. Is there a market for your product? How will people
react to the introduction of your goods or services? Does it make sense to
waste precious time producing your goods, building a website that requires
sales techniques and investment, and then realizing that people are indifferent
to your product! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Remember, your ultimate goal is to deliver wanted products or
services to your customer to make him or her satisfied, and then collect his or
her money. In order to do this, you must ensure your customer wants to purchase
your invention in the first place. How can you tell if they want your product? It’s
easy. Just introduce yourself to some forums or blogs related to your niche and
demand. Hold a study or public poll. The Internet makes it easy, and you have
the power to spread the word to anyone in the world who has an Internet
connection. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">For example, if you have an excellent idea on generating a
step-by-step instruction on how to cook Creole food, the most important thing
is to find out if anyone is interested in learning about cooking Creole food.
To do this, go to some food-related forums or blogs and ask diplomatically if
anyone would be interested in learning about Creole cuisine. Do not ask deliberately
whether someone would like to purchase an e-book on how to cook Creole food, or
you might be shunned for propagating an unsolicited offer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Instead, you can give out a few samples of your Creole food
recipes to try and see how the forum or blog members respond to them. If they
express interest of learning more, then you certainly have a market for your
product. If they show no awareness, then it is time to try something different
and come up with new innovations to the market. By proceeding that way, you
save time in the long run because you don't have to wait at the end to discover
there is no interest for your product. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Therefore, if your idea is applauded by the forum or blog members
you questioned, you can move ahead and assemble your e-book on cooking Creole food
because there is interest in the information you possess. Where there is
interest, you can easily build desire for your invention, and with acceptance
and good marketing, your sales will skyrocket! </span><a href="http://www.greengrassgardens.com/gardening.shtml">read more</a></div></h3>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12359319355632482768noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8370011944695310164.post-76171772902153342642013-05-22T23:31:00.001-07:002013-05-22T23:31:19.066-07:00Where to find seeds and plants <br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">There are basically two ways to purchase seeds and plant material. They may be brought locally, from a garden center, nursery, farm stand, farmers’ markets and department and hardware stores. Seeds and plants may also be purchased through catalogues, which you have access to by mail, phone, fax, and through the internet. Most gardeners will satisfy their need for plant material by shopping both locally and through the mail. Either method may fulfill your gardening needs, but before you decide where to shop, you need some very basic consumer guidance. Most importantly, you need to know what items are available and what varieties are most appropriate to your gardening interest and geographical area. Many free tips are available in this site and most will answer your gardening needs. </span><a href="http://www.greengrassgardens.com/">Read more</a></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12359319355632482768noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8370011944695310164.post-80192795474737413122013-05-15T00:10:00.001-07:002015-06-04T21:57:54.455-07:00Watering your plant<h3><br />

In our new series gardening suggestions; we will post a weekly gardening advice to answer many questions for our visitors. Today we encourage you to water your plants. Water is the special feature of life on this planet. All chemical reactions inside cells take place in a watery solution. Water is the mainstay of all that goes on in a plant. The reactions of respiration and photosynthesis all take place in solution in water and it is water pressure, acting in conjunction with the skeleton of cell walls, which keeps the plant upright. Water has some remarkable and specials properties. As gardeners, we must be in constant alert to our plants “need for that precious liquid”. Even if it is raining, it is a very good idea to water thoroughly newly planted seedlings or plants transferred from elsewhere. This settles small soil particles round the roots and the roots hairs, and make sure they are properly in contact with a film of water, rather than stranded in an air space. It is a good idea to do this at some distance from the stem. <a href="http://www.greengrassgardens.com/">Read more</a></h3>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12359319355632482768noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8370011944695310164.post-30197396994824086152013-04-25T22:32:00.001-07:002015-06-04T22:33:11.613-07:00Is organic food more healthy than conventional food?<h3>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Organic Foods are foods that are grown without the use of pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, sewage sludge, genetically modified organisms, or ionizing radiation. Also include animals that produce meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy products do not take antibiotics or growth hormones.</span> <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Before a product can be labeled "organic," a Government-approved certifier inspects the farm where the food is grown to make sure the farmer is following all the rules necessary to meet USDA organic standards. Companies that handle or process organic food before it gets to your local supermarket or restaurant must be certified, too.</span> <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Operators are inspected annually in addition there are random checks to assure standards are being met. The USDA has identified for three categories of labeling organic products: 100% organic (made with 100% organic Ingredients), 95% organic (made at least with 95% organic ingredients), and 70% organic (made at least 70% organic ingredients). Consumers that are interested in buying organic food must pay close attention to the label and the definition provided above about organic foods. I have a good experience about organic food and I want to share it here. My mom is from another country where they grow exclusively organic foods. She ate everything organic (meats, vegetable, starch, and fruit). She never diagnosed with any sickness. She came to visit me for one month, and started eating from the groceries I bought from the supermarket after some days she told me: “I do not feel well”. I said mom what is going on. She replied: “I don’t know”. I took her to a clinic to have a checkup and she was diagnosed with high blood sugar something she never experienced in her life (75 years old). The blood sugar was so high; she was in intensive care for five days. The doctor put her on daily insulin. When she returned to her home land and restarted her life style she never experienced the blood sugar even for one day. No more medication taking, she ate sweet potatoes, sweet mango, sweet corn, rice and beans, all kind of meat.</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; float: left; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit3OoAy9fXUPFTqnLG3EoOog4nO2Iu-WB1ON-b6S280fuYzjOw___xlxKhOR2FeiW7J19eAybyPgrQO7f6XP7_AtoMfhLSJ763ErEb6FZ_S6IZ1BnWocui5QWQrpoze9KxQnXaxMxRqqMV/s1600/mango.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit3OoAy9fXUPFTqnLG3EoOog4nO2Iu-WB1ON-b6S280fuYzjOw___xlxKhOR2FeiW7J19eAybyPgrQO7f6XP7_AtoMfhLSJ763ErEb6FZ_S6IZ1BnWocui5QWQrpoze9KxQnXaxMxRqqMV/s320/mango.png" /></a></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"> Thereafter she revisited me for one month and the same thing happened again. Then I made that conclusion here in U.S.A we eat our traditional process food and over there in her country they consume solely organic food from their farms. Her body was not fit to ingest the process food. It appears to be true that organic foods could healthier for our organism. </span></span><a href="http://www.greengrassgardens.com/">Read more</a></div>

My advice to you is to plant a tree regardless the school you believe...</span><a href="http://www.greengrassgardens.com/">Read more</a></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12359319355632482768noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8370011944695310164.post-33073631950752997552013-04-15T21:08:00.001-07:002013-04-15T21:08:25.326-07:00Why Plant Trees?<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Franklyn D. Roosevelt quoted: “A nation that destroys its soils destroys itself. Forests are the lungs of our land, purifying the air and giving fresh strength to our people.’’ Trees have always been a key symbol of the environmental movement. Below are some key factors that attempt to show trees are more than an emblem symbol of ecology, they are in fact key components to global ecosystems. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> <a href="http://www.blogger.com/"></a></span></o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Carbon sequestration</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Trees act as natural filters of our air. Through the process of photosynthesis trees absorb carbon dioxide (a key greenhouse gas and principle contributor to global warming) from the atmosphere and store the carbon in their trunk, branches, leaves, roots, soil and foliage, while releasing oxygen back into the atmosphere.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Trees Produce Oxygen</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">A vital requirement for all animals is a supply of oxygen. Through the process of photosynthesis, trees and other vegetation supply us with this vital gas. One mature tree produces enough oxygen for 10 people to breathe in a year.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Trees improve biodiversity and provide habitat for wildlife</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Up to 90% of all terrestrial animals live in association with forest habitats. In simple terms, the less trees the less viable habitat for many species. This will ultimately lead to species extermination, first locally and in many cases globally. Through the reinstatement of native forest you are providing new or improved habitat for a number of animal species that depend on forests for food and shelter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Soil erosion</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The elimination of trees from the landscape can have catastrophic repercussions in terms of making such areas more susceptible to landslide. Erosion control most frequently involves the planting of tree, shrub or grass species. The roots of the vegetation bind the soil and prevent erosion.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Water conservation</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The instance of flash flooding has been shown to be reduced by the presence of forests. Also in areas likely to drought the addition of trees to the landscape can aid in the conservation of precious water resources. Trees slow down water runoff after periods of heavy rainfalls and help to recharge underground water-holding aquifers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Tree and temperature control</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">A phenomenon reported from cities is known as the heat island effect where the increase of concrete and other man-made structures and actions lead to higher temperatures. In these urbanized landscapes the addition of trees has the consequence of lowering the ambient temperature due to their shading effect. Shade from trees reduces the need for air conditioning in hot locations. Likewise trees can also assist in cold climates; in winter, trees dissipate the strength of winter winds and can lower the winter heating bill. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Trees clean the soil</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Trees can assist in the remediation of land that has been polluted by dangerous chemical pollutants. Trees can either store harmful pollutants or actually change the pollutant into less harmful forms. Trees can also be used to filter sewage and farm chemicals such as pesticides. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Social and communal benefits</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Trees provide serious benefits. An environment abounding with trees and vegetation leads to a more serene, peaceful and restful frame of mind. Hospital patients have been shown to recover from surgery more quickly when their hospital room offered a view of trees. Communities are often strongly opposed to the removal of trees for infrastructure upgrades (road widening for example) and it is not uncommon for great efforts by individuals and organizations to go towards saving large or historic trees within a community. Furthermore by incorporating local communities into forest restoration projects you can provide employment opportunities in the management of this valuable resource. </span><a href="http://www.greengrassgardens.com/">Read more</a>...</div>
