Edema, Diet and Climate

The body, blood, skin, organs, bones, mucous, phlegm, water, etc. construct up and interruption down, largely according to the food, foods provided. Edema is the accretion of unstable in the soft tissues. It can happen anywhere in the body: head, arms, legs, etc and is generally caused by mediocre diet and or weak digestion. Edema is more than common in women than in men.

The organic construction digests, transforms food, foods into blood, into structure into function, into wellness or disease. There are only two sorts of nutrients: edifice and cleansing. Building foods (protein and fat) construct and combustible all construction and function. Cleaning foods (water, minerals, sugar, etc.) reduce, cleanse, cool and moisten.

The right amount of edifice and cleaning produced the right amount of blood, construction and function, where the organic structure head can thrive. The wrong weaken, sicken and hurting via too much or too little.

Water in the organic structure constructs up and interruptions down. It is derived largely from nutrient and fluids. All nutrients are mostly water, some more than than others. Fruits, veggies and grains are more than watery than meat, eggs, cheese, beans, etc. Inch excess, too many fruits, veggies and juices, drinks, in excess, or at the beginning of the meal, be given to thin and weaken digestion, acid and enzymes, decreasing digestion and absorption, while increasing waste. Whatever food, foods not digested, absorbed go waste.

Weak digestion burns, metabolizes less water, fat, sugar, etc. It also be givens to chill the body, causing extra condensation (water, phlegm, mucous, etc.) to occur. Cold condenses, In nature, cold temperature cause condensation, rainfall to occur. It can also harden rain, H2O into snowfall and ice.

The digestive system is like the engine of a car. It not only energizes, powerfulnesses the auto but also heats. Digestion throws off a batch of heat energy that not only warms the body, but also incorporates and or dissipates extra fluids.

Weak digestion Burns less fluids while creating more.

Low protein, low fat (especially milk, yogurt, beans, nuts and seeds) and high saccharide (grains, pasta, bread, salads, natural vegetables, fruit, especially tropical, juices, etc.) diets, in the extreme, be given to thin and weaken digestion, and in the extreme, cause edema.

Edema tendencies to assail women more than than men, as many women be given to eat low protein, low fat and high saccharide diets. They also be given to menstruate. Menstruation, blood loss be givens to weaken all function, including digestion and organic structure temperature.

The right manner of eating, repast plan, 2-3 modern times per day, preferably breakfast and luncheon is:

1/3 Protein and fat (red meat, eggs, chicken, turkey, beans, etc.)

1/3 Grain (rice, noodles, bread, etc.)

1/3 Vegetables, cooked (3-5), cabbage, broccoli, onions, kale, celery, carrots with tops, etc.) Avoid potatoes, tomatoes, aubergine and natural vegetables, salads; fruit (1) avoid tropical and semifinal tropical

Spices (cardamon, cumin, coriander, fennel, turmeric, ginger, cayenne, etc.)

Tea

Over overeating as it weakens digestion.

Camping With Kids

I like to hunt fish and hike and all that involves camping and I have been doing it most of my life and now that I am er ah fifty..ish. I just love it even more and over the years I have learned a great deal about living outside, I m not an expert or anything like that. Let's just say I've been there, done that and have the tee shirt to prove it. Often times my son and I will take out my ten year old grandson and some of his friends. Now you got to keep a pack of ten year old boys pretty busy around a camp especially after the hike because during the hike they're normally in awe of their surroundings and stay pretty focused, you know looking for Snakes and big hairy Bears and such, even had one of the boys spot a grizzly from afar even though there are no Grizzly bears here in North Carolina. They do have vivid imaginations don't they.

They ask an awful lot of questions too, my Grandson asked me on one trip; "Poppa what if we can't find any water we could die of thirst!" I said; "well Sprout" that's what I call him. "We can just make our own water" he looked at me kinda funny then laughed and said "Poppa people can't make water only God and Indians can do that, you're so silly" I said; "Ok I'll betcha my Ring Ding desert for your Moon Pie we'll have at least a half a canteen full by morning" and we sealed the deal with a handshake and a smile.

Next we rounded up as many sandwich plastic bags as we could find about fourteen in all. We took the bags Duc tape and some small rocks and went into the tree line where I quickly found a grove of Fir trees We put one small rock in each bag then started to place each bag over a small bug free bushy tip of the tree's branches then sealed each bag as tight possible and securing them completely closed with a small bit of tape. Kept us busy for about two hours, when we were done we went back to camp and cooked up a great dinner then told scary stories by the fire. Yep that never gets old and keeps the youngsters and me from wandering off in the dark.

After camp chores the next morning we went back to check our water factory. The first thing my grandson said as we approached the trees adorned with their glistening clear bags was; "Gosh Poppa they look like Christmas tree's" I said; "they sure do and they gave us the gift of pure drinkable water."

Sure enough we began to gently remove the bags from the branches and pure the precious water into a 32 ounce Nalgene bottle all total we had 12 bags, one had fallen off and a critter got the other. But we managed to fill up a little over 14 ounces. My boy was very impressed with his old Grandfather, I explained that while we slept the heat of the day was trapped in the bags and the chill of the morning caused condensation to form on the vegetation thus producing about an ounce or more from each bag. The more vegetation you cram in the bag the more water you get.

We cleaned up and when back to camp where for breakfast I had a Moon Pie washed down with a cool cup of my new water, had just a hint of a pine flavor and Sprout thought I was the best thing since the invention of Moon Pies. Life is good.
