Wow, food facts and benefits

Amazing what you find out through research...working on a project for church, well really the minister and researching Biblical foods. It is truly amazing the way God designed foods listed in the Bible that give us the nutrients and disease fighting properties to live by. So much of Biblical foods were for a reason to protect our health. Cinnamon which I love the smell of, the taste of, baking or on toast with a little sugar and one teaspoon with a tablespoon of honey can help arthritis!

Zuchini is low in calories but one cup can supply 10% of our daily fiber...quite a wollop for a little green squash! More on this latter...on to putting together fun facts for Methodist.
