What is the best healthy salt?

Q. What is the best healthy salt?
A. French Salt.
     From the company:
French sea salt, also known as Celtic sea salt, is naturally harvested in Brittany, a city in France that is close to the Celtic Sea. In addition to the salt adding exceptional flavor to food and keeping meats and vegetables fresh, the seasoning provides a number of health benefits as well.
Celtic sea salt has the ability to lower the blood pressure and normalize the heart beat. While processed salt raises the blood pressure, salt in its purest form purifies the blood and promotes circulation. French sea salt can also help to raise blood pressure for individuals whose levels are too low.
Daily intake of French salt in moderate amounts can also boost the function of the brain. The salt helps the central nervous system to function properly and enhances the ability of the cells to properly process information. Excess acid and other toxins are also extracted from the brain cells when sea salt is consumed.
Individuals with diabetes should use Celtic sea salt instead of regular table salt for its ability to balance blood sugars. Adding the salt to a meal will keep glucose levels steady and help to prevent hypoglycemia hours after consuming a meal.
Celtic sea salt is also used as a natural beauty treatment. A facial mask made of the salt with help to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. The salt also removes toxins from the face for a glowing and youthful complexion. Adding French sea salt to a bath can also draw impurities from the body. The salt can reduce inflammation in the joints as well, which is why people with conditions like arthritis and fibromyalgia often use sea salt for its healing properties.

Why do I have headache after drinking a wine?

Q. Why do I have headache after drinking a wine?
A.
I was in Paris and tasted some red and white wine. I was surprised that there was no any headache with any wine. Now I understand why I have headache after drinking any wine in US? The answer is simple: any US wine has chemical preservative sulfites.
I've found online that the biggest complaint about sulfites is the side effect of headaches.
My advice is if you don't want the side effect from sulfites drink organic wine or go to Europe (France, Italy, Spain).

Which color bell pepper is the best and why?

Q. Which color bell pepper is the best and why?
A.
Choose red bell peppers for their high levels of antioxidant vitamins A and C, which help protect cells from free radicals. One cup of chopped red peppers contains three times the minimum amount of vitamin C and nearly 100 percent of the vitamin A recommended for a typical 2,000-calorie-a-day diet. Green and yellow peppers fall short in vitamin A. All peppers are naturally fat free and low calorie, and they contain three grams of fiber per chopped cup, making them excellent snacks or mealtime fillers.

What does green tea smell like?

Q. What does green tea smell like?
A. If there is no smell to the dry leaves they are very suspect. Green tea should have a light, fresh, soothing fragrance, from a light orchid to a chestnutty smell.
Black tea should have a sweet, floral fragrance.
The tea industry still uses lower quality tea for teabags, and for mixing with fruits, herbs and other flavorings. The best teabags you can find at Generation Tea and David's Tea , who use their excellent organic loose leaf teas to make teabags of real character and quality. If the smell of your green tea is like Manure or Fish choose other brand.

2. Non-Organic Rice May Contain Traces of Arsenic.
Research recently published suggests that some non-organic U.S.
long grain rice may have 1.4 to 5 times more arsenic than rice
from Europe, India or Bangladesh.
Mycotoxin (fungus-triggered toxin) called T-2
can be produced in rice by the fungus Fusarium.
Be sure to keep your cooked rice in a tightly sealed
container when stored in your refrigerator.
Since brown rice still features an oil-rich germ,
it is more susceptible to becoming rancid than
white rice and therefore should be stored in the refrigerator.
Stored in an airtight container, brown rice will keep fresh for about six months.

What is better white sugar or brown sugar?

Q. What is better white sugar or brown sugar?
A. Brown sugar is a mixture of white sugar and 5-10% molasses. More molasses more browner color. Better taste if you use a white sugar for tea and brown sugar for coffee.
For cookies better is brown sugar because molasses creates more moisture and cookies are softer at room temperature.
Teaspoon of brown sugar contains about 17 Kcal and white sugar - 16 Kcal.
Brown sugar (but not white sugar) contains some of the minerals: calcium, potassium, iron, magnesium in very small amount.
The real differences between white and brown sugar is taste and the effects on baked stuff.
