We learned facts like how bananas are a natural anti inflammatory and can help relieve pain in the joints.

We became educated in the fact that hot peppers, garlic and onions are really good for removing toxins from our blood and they bolster the immune system as well.

It is just amazing how God has created foods to be so beneficial to our health, but I didn’t realize how good old fashioned water played such a powerful part in helping us to stay healthy.
