Brazil Nuts, seeds and aflatoxin

Recently I have found brazil nuts right out of their shell are much more flavorful (generally) than when you buy them without their shell. Some companies seem to provide fresher shelled nuts than others. Years ago I read somewhere that it is better to shell nuts and seeds yourself (that they stay fresher longer that way).

Sadly, one was all black inside and I swear a ton of spores went flying out when I cracked it open and this puff of dark smoke came out-yuck. We found the OXO nut cracker is a vast improvement to the more standard nut cracker. Why eat brazil nuts? One, they taste a little like coconut and two, the selenium my friend the selenium!

Vision boards, vision books… visualisations, affirmations… Like me, you may have tried or enjoyed them all, but this year, for me, my 2010 goal setting and new life creation is all about Vision Cards. Now, the concept of Vision Cards may very well be new to you, because I hadn’t heard of them either! In fact, the closest thing I’ve seen is something shared with me by one of my business clients earlier this year - she makes mini montages of vision boards but on postcard sized pieces of card. They look amazing! Where Vision Boards are different is that…

The body must have iron in order to make hemoglobin, a substance found in red blood cells responsible for carrying oxygen from the lungs to the body’s tissues. Anemia arises from an iron deficiency.
