Salt has long been used to add flavor to people's favorite foods. In fact, the use of salt as a means to preserving foods and adding flavor to recipes dates back to ancient times and has led to countless conflicts ever since. According to History.com, wars over access to salt reserves in China are believed to have been fought as early as 6,000 B.C. Though that shows just how valuable salt has been throughout much of human history, it doesn't indicate the negative effects that can result from diets that feature excessive amounts of sodium.

In the podcast I also mention Ina Garten who has magical recipes that have yet to disappoint.  You might know her as The Barefoot Contessa  https://barefootcontessa.com/and if she is new to you please try this mustard roasted chicken recipe....it does require planning because you need buttermilk as well as we as stale bread to make breadcrumbs but it was so worth it... the recipe is here https://bit.ly/InaChicken

Most Common Cancers Among Women Breast cancer Lung cancer Colorectal cancer Leading Causes of Cancer Death Among Women Lung cancer Breast cancer Colorectal cancer Most Common Cancers Among Men Prostate cancer Lung cancer Colorectal cancer Leading Causes of Cancer Death Among Men Lung cancer Prostate cancer  Colorectal cancer Liver cancer   Foods to Avoid: GMO's Hydrogenated Oils  Microwave Popcorn Processed Meats Diet Foods with Artificial Sweeteners Artificial Flavors and Colors Refined Sugar Refined White Flour Farm Raised Fish Foods Sprayed with Glyphosate or other Pesticides and     Fungicide.   Lifestyle Habits: Maintain Alkalinity  Antioxidant intake  Reduce systemic inflammation Detoxification Limit exposure to environmental toxins Sunlight and Exercise  Reduce stress  Get Sleep   Eating Habits - The American Diet is full of unhealthy fats, refined sugars, bleached flour, artificial ingredients and colors, farmed fish, and toxic sources of meat.  Focus on getting a diet full of minerals, vitamins, antioxidants, and healthy fats.   Leafy Green Vegetables - Rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and enzymes, yet very low in calories, fats, sodium and other toxins.  Cruciferous Vegetables - Source of vitamins C and K, the powerful antioxidant Glutathione, and estrogen metabolizing compounds DIM, Calcium D Glucarate, and Indole-3 Carbinol.   Berries - The antioxidant content of most berries are very high, making them some of the most powerful foods in the world.  Berries are known to be a great source of proanthocyanidin antioxidants, which help to decrease free radical damage.  Brightly Orange-Colored Fruits and Veggies - an excellent source of vitamin A, fiber, and carotenoid antioxidants.  Healthy Fats - Most of the fats found in the American diet are toxic and cause damage to our cells.  However, 60 percent of our brain and nervous system are made up of fatty acids. Omega 3's support inflammation response, mood, and focus, and help us maintain a healthy heart and help to protect our cells. Examples of healthy fats: Hemp Oil Chia Oil Flax Oil Algae Oil Fish oil Extra Virgin Olive Oil Nuts and Seeds - Chia seeds, hemp Seeds, and flax seeds are and excellent fiber, omega-3 fatty acids and a range of important minerals. Hemp seeds and pumpkin seeds contain healthy fats Magnesium and Zinc.  Brazil nuts are the best source of selenium. Sprouted nuts have the widest range of benefits. Fresh Herbs and Spices -Try to incorporate organically grown, immune boosting spices like turmeric, ginger, oregano, and garlic into your recipes and vegetable juices. Fermented Foods - Cultured foods are a great source of probiotics.  Probiotics are beneficial microorganisms that help digest food, get nutrients into the system, and boost immune function. A healthy gut is imperative to staying healthy.  It is believed that up to 80% of the immune system is in the gut! Medicinal Mushrooms - Potent immune-enhancers that have been used to fight cancer for centuries. Reishi, cordyceps and maitake in particular can improve immune function and cell regeneration. Green Tea - Not only is it a great pick me up, green tea is an excellent source of cancer fighting antioxidants that are several times more potent than Vitamins C and E called polyphenols. Garlic - We mention Garlic under spices, but keep in mind that it’s known to boosts white blood cell count.   Important Health Factors: Healthy Blood Cells Red Blood Cells and Oxygenation -  We have to have enough red blood cells to carry oxygen. Warburg won the nobel prize in 1931 after figuring out that once a cell has less that 60% of the oxygen it needs cancer occurs. Important because cancer cells are Anaerobic and proliferate through burning glucose. Healthy cells are Aerobic and thrive with sufficient oxygen Best way to build red blood cells is by consuming chlorophyll - it's the closest thing to hemoglobin in the plant world. co-factors that help build red blood cells Vitamin B6  Vitamin B9 Vitamin B12 Vitamin A  Iron Copper CoEnzymeQ10 - nutrient vital for the production of energy in the mitochondria. Powerful antioxidant that is also used in the mitochondria to transport oxygen. CoQ10 must be there for your cells to produce energy using oxygen because it transports oxygen to where it needs to be. White Blood Cells - cells are produced in the bone marrow, and typically work as part of the immune system to fight off bacterial and viral infections. We have to have white blood cells to fight off invaders and to combat cancer cells. Vitamin D3  Vitamin D insufficiency and deficiency are linked to poor immune functioning, which may translate to low white blood cell counts. Clinical research shows that vitamin D can help prevent cancer best when you acquire about 50–70 nanograms per milliliter daily. Get 20 minutes of sun exposure every day between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. with 40 percent of your entire body exposed to the sun or take an oral supplement containing around 5,000 to 10,000 IUs of D3 every day.  Zinc  Linked with the production of white blood cells According to The American Cancer Society, studies have shown that zinc levels in blood and inside white blood cells are often lower in patients with certain types of cancer. Selenium The University of Maryland Medical Center states that selenium can help build up white blood cells and move them around. Some studies also indicate that selenium may help prevent some infections. Another study indicated that when the elderly takes both zinc and selenium supplements, their immune systems responded better to the flu vaccine than those who took placebo. Vitamin B9 (Folate) The body needs folate to make white blood cells.  A deficiency of folate can also lead to anemia, which is a low level of red blood cells.  Vitamin C an immune enhancer that helps white blood cells perform at their peak and quickens the immune system's response. Omega 3 Fatty Acids Help combat inflammation and helps make white blood cells.   Adaptogens boost Immune Function and modulate white blood cell count.   Astragalus Root Helps boost white blood cells University of Texas found that Astragalus Root enhanced the immune system’s ability to identify bacteria, viruses, and even cancer cells.   Cat's Claw Modulates the white blood cell count - if the white blood cell count is too low, it will increase it, and if it’s too high, it will decrease it. According to herbalist Maya Cointreau, "cat’s claw increased the ability of white blood cells to find and eradicate foreign micro-organisms. It also increases the body’s production of T-cells, helping to fight infection more effectively.”  Reishi Mushroom Source of polysaccharides that have been shown to better activate Natural Killer cells reducing cancer metastasis. Natural Killer cells are lymphocytes that seek out tumors. Reishi also has been shown to assist in slowing the growth of tumors as well as prompting programmed cell death in malignant cells.  Maitake Mushroom Stimulates Natural Killer cell activity in cancer patients. Believed to suppress tumor growth and to trigger malignant cell death through its specific immune-enhancing methods.   Agaricus Blazei Murill Activates macrophage and interferon immune activity leading to tumor shrinkage and stopping metastasis. Reduces chance of future cancer occurrences.  Also shown to decrease the side effects of chemotherapy or certain types of cancers.   Turkey Tail Studies show that it increases Natural Killer cell activity towards tumor detection and eradication. Soursop (Graviola) -  Found to be stronger at killing cancer cells than chemotherapy.  Studies show compounds found in Soursop kill cancer cells, but do not harm healthy cells. Nutrients that Support Breast Health  Zinc Selenium Omega 3's Vitamin D3 Vitamin A Vitamin E B6, B9, B12   Estrogen Metabolizing Nutrients DIM (diindolylmethane) – Found in all cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, cabbage, and kale. DIM forces estrogen to break down into a non-cancer promoting type of estrogen in the liver Calcium D-glucarate -Also found naturally in cruciferous vegetables, as well as fruits, such as apples, oranges, and grapefruit.  It aids the liver in the production of glucuronic acid, which binds to "bad" estrogens and deactivates them. Indole-3 Carbinol - Also found in cruciferous vegetables, Indole Carbinol has been found to benefit estrogen metabolism. Remember that it's the "bad" estrogen that is cancer promoting.  Aromatase Inhibitors - Antioxidants that block aromatase, an enzyme that helps to create estrogen. There's a type of bad estrogen is believed to fuel breast cancer cell growth. Examples:  Grape seed extract Chrysin - biofavaniod compound found in propolis, honey, and passionflower. Parsley Cruciferous Vegetables   Nutrients that Support Prostate Health: Zinc Selenium Omega 3's Vitamin D3 Vitamin A Vitamin E B6, B9, B12   Herbs that Support Prostate Health: Saw Palmetto -This herb has shown to reduce prostate inflammation and enlargement CBD oil (Cannabadiol) - cannabinoids have been found to inhibit the growth of this ID-1 gene and to return cancerous cells back to healthy cells. Prostate cancer patients have high levels of the ID-1 gene. Lycopene - An antioxidant found to prevent and even reverse prostate cancer as well as prostate enlargement. This is the red pigment contained in foods such as tomatoes and watermelon. Stinging Nettle Root - Studies have shown it to reduce the symptoms associated with prostatitis.   Nutrients that Support Lung Health: Zinc Selenium Omega 3's Vitamin D3 Vitamin A  Vitamin E B6, B9, B12   Herbs that Support Lung Health: See list of Medicinal Mushrooms above See Astragalus Root above

I discuss ways to use Harvest Eating as well as other seasonings.

Julie Chai, associate garden editor of Sunset magazine, warns gardeners that they should keep mint plants in containers or pots, lest the herb take over the entire garden. Once your mint starts to overwhelm your container, you'll need to take it out, divide it, and replant it. Share the extra mint with your cocktail-drinking friends.

Julie Chai, associate garden editor of Sunset magazine, suggests that you plant herbs, especially basil, in a pot that is at least 12 inches wide and 12 inches deep to avoid the horror of root-bound plants.

Julie Chai, associate garden editor of Sunset magazine, picks herbs, not flowers, for her table's centerpiece. They look great, and their scent complements food nicely. Sunset also shares this set of one-pot garden ideas, which can be lovely centerpieces as well.

Julie Chai, associate garden editor of Sunset magazine, suggests that you harvest your garden's herbs in the morning, when they are at their most flavorful. And be sure to leave enough in the ground to repopulate the plant.

Julie Chai, associate garden editor of Sunset magazine, suggests that home gardeners remove the flowers from basil plants as they appear. By plucking the flowers you are keeping the herb in a prepubescent state, which will taste a lot better, and less bitter, than "older" basil.

Kathy FitzHenry, founder of Juliet Mae Fine Spices & Herbs, suggests that you consider the method of preparation when deciding whether to use fresh or dried herbs. Fresh herbs are best in a fresh setting, like a caprese salad, whereas dried herbs are best in a long, slow cook like a stew. Of course, there are exceptions to every rule.

Iceberg lettuce, baby carrots, waxy cucumbers, and tasteless cherry tomatoes are for the fast-food salad bar. CHOW Senior Editor Lessley Anderson identifies ways that you can improvise. Hint: texture and fruit.
