EAT YOGURT!
Eat lots of yogurt before pollen season.
 Also-eat honey from your area (local region) daily.

TO PREVENT STROKE DRINK TEA!
Prevent buildup of fatty deposits on artery walls with regular doses of tea. (actually, tea suppresses my appetite and keeps the pounds from invading…. Green tea is great for our immune system)!

INSOMNIA (CAN'T SLEEP?) HONEY!
 Use honey as a tranquilizer and sedative.

 ASTHMA?
EAT ONIONS!!!!
Eating onions helps ease constriction of bronchial tubes. (when I was young, my mother would make onion packs to place on our chest, helped the respiratory ailments and actually made us breathe better).

 ARTHRITIS?
EAT FISH, TOO!!

 Salmon, tuna, mackerel and sardines actually prevent arthritis. (fish has omega oils, good for our immune system)

UPSET STOMACH?   BANANASGINGER!!!!!
Bananas will settle an upset stomach.
 Ginger will cure morning sickness and nausea.

 BLADDER INFECTION?
DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

 BONE PROBLEMS?
EAT PINEAPPLE!!!

 Bone fractures and osteoporosis can be prevented by the manganese in pineapple.

 PREMENSTRUAL SYNDROME?
EAT CORNFLAKES!! !!
Women can ward off the effects of PMS with cornflakes, which help reduce depression, anxiety and fatigue.

 MEMORY PROBLEMS?
EAT OYSTERS!
Oysters help improve your mental functioning by supplying much-needed zinc.

 COLDS?
EAT GARLIC!
Clear up that stuffy head with garlic. (remember, garlic lowers cholesterol, too.)

COUGHING? USE RED PEPPERS!!
 A substance similar to that found in the cough syrups is found in hot red pepper. Use red (cayenne) pepper with caution-it can irritate your tummy.

 BREAST CANCER?
 EAT Wheat, bran and cabbage

 Helps to maintain estrogen at healthy levels.

 LUNG CANCER?
EAT DARK GREEN AND ORANGE
AND VEGGIES!!!
A good antidote is beta carotene, a form of Vitamin A found in dark green and orange vegetables.

 ULCERS?
EAT CABBAGE ALSO!!!

 Cabbage contains chemicals that help heal both gastric and duodenal ulcers.

DIARRHEA? EAT APPLES!
Grate an apple with its skin, let it turn brown and eat it to cure this condition. (Bananas are good for this ailment)

 CLOGGED ARTERIES?
EAT AVOCADO!
Mono unsaturated fat in avocados lowers cholesterol.

 HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE?
EAT CELERY AND OLIVE OIL!!!

 Olive oil has been shown to lower blood pressure.
 Celery contains a chemical that lowers pressure too.

 BLOOD SUGAR IMBALANCE?
EAT BROCCOLI AND PEANUTS!!!
The chromium in broccoli and peanuts helps regulate insulin and blood sugar.

 Kiwi:
Tiny but mighty. This is a good source of potassium, magnesium, Vitamin E &fiber. It's Vitamin C content is twice that of an orange.

 Apple:
An apple a day keeps the doctor away? Although an apple has a low Vitamin C content, it has antioxidants &flavonoids which enhances the activity of Vitamin C thereby helping to lower the risks of colon cancer, heart attack & stroke.

  Orange:
Sweetest medicine. Taking 2 – 4 oranges a day may help keep colds away, lower cholesterol, prevent & dissolve kidney stones as well as lessen the risk of colon cancer.

You're talking about hungry..,how about when we're angry…can we eat people?.Kidding…Nice effort osesame,but i think governments should check on the poison that they use in planting vegetables,fruit and etc..from what i heard…peoples nowdays die not because of they have nothing to eat..they die because too much things to eat and what they ate is poisonous…
