Hello Fitlifers!

Welcome to another exciting Saturday Strategy!

For this Saturday Strategy, we'll be discovering a lot about one of our favorite herb, Peppermint. Peppermint has been used in ancient Europe, Egypt and Rome thousands of years ago. Traces of dried leaves were even found in Egyptian pyramids dating back to 1,000 B.C. Because of its alluring smell and indulging taste, this herb was incorporated from herbal tea and pastries to massage oils and bath soaps.

Furthermore, this powerful herb have health benefits that we can take note of.

1. Aromatherapy

Peppermint oil is cooling and energizing. Add a few drops to your bath, or dap a few drops directly on your body then get into the tub, for near-instant stress relief. You can also put the oil into a burner for a stress-relieving aroma.

2. Increase mental cognition

The aroma of peppermint has been shown to enhance memory and increase alertness.

3. Reduce caloric consumption

The scent of peppermint affected the appetite of study participants in a 2007 study by Wheeling Jesuit University. When inhaling the peppermint scent every two hours, participants reported feeling significantly less hungry and that they ate 1,800 fewer calories than normal. The researchers noted that peppermint scent can also reduce cravings and can reduce the intake of fat and sugar.

4. Decrease digestive inflammation

Peppermint has been found to ease symptoms associated with indigestion in many cases. It has a calming effect on the stomach muscles and creates better bile flow. When you eat peppermint or drink it in tea form, food moves more quickly through your stomach.

5. Gives an energy boost

One of peppermint's most important benefits is that the strong smell of peppermint stimulates our senses. It enhances the focus of our thoughts and brain and can provide clarity to our thinking

6. Get rid of headaches

Applying peppermint oil onto the forehead has been found to be effective in the treatment of tension headache. An article in American Family Physician quotes two trials that demonstrated the efficacy of peppermint oil for relieving the symptoms of tension headache. In fact, one of them found peppermint oil to be as effective as acetaminophen (Tylenol, paracetamol).

7. Alleviates Asthma Symptoms

A 2001 preclinical study found that extracts of the leaves of peppermint inhibit histamine release indicating it may be clinically effective in alleviating the nasal symptoms of allergic rhinitis.

Aside from Peppermint, what do we have for this week's recipe?

Fennel

Fennel contains Folate, that is necessary for the reduction of homocysteine. High homocysteine levels are associated to heart attack and stroke since it directly targets blood vessels (WH Foods). Folate is also important for pregnant women because it prevents birth defects in unborn babies.

Beets

Beets are one of the world's healthiest foods. With abundant and unique sources of phytonutrients like betalains and vulgaxanthins, beets offer more than a purple color. These phytonutrients promote antioxidant activity, anti-inflammatory properties, and detoxifying properties. Beets are especially important in Phase II of the detoxification step.

Cucumbers

Due to its low calorie and high water content, cucumber is an ideal diet for people who are looking for weight loss. The high water content and dietary fiber in cucumbers are very effective in ridding the body of toxins from the digestive system, aiding digestion.

Remember, we're in this together..
