The insurance-medical-pharmaceutical complex generates billions of dollars in revenues annually from people with seasonal allergies. There’s no cure. This leaves only lifestyle, prevention and treatment considerations for anyone seeking some relief.
The pomegranate is native to Iran and grows wild there today. It was first cultivated approximately 6,000 years ago. Because it is a hearty fruit that is easily transported, it soon became known in regions where it could not be grown.

The fruit was used medicinally in ancient times and early practitioners divided the fruit into three juice types: sweet, winey and acid.
Veggie Sushi Roll (Vegan)
*Serves 2-4 people
Summer is the perfect time for sushi; with no oven needed, you can stay cool in the kitchen and still create a tasty meal.

When I think of breakfast, the first thing that comes into my mind are pancakes. And although I don’t always have the time to make them in the morning, I do enjoy eating them once in a while. Over the years I’ve tried to alter recipes that I have loved by trying to make them healthier. Pancakes were always something I enjoyed eating as a kid, but as an adult I find that the pancake box mix you get at any super market just isn’t as healthy as I would like it to be. So, I researched and looked everywhere until I finally found a healthier version to make.
I want to be as comfortable as possible. Give me air-conditioning and memory-foam mattress toppers and fast internet. I want my surroundings to be as cushy as I can make them. After I’ve worked so hard to make my life comfortable, at the very end of the day, if I have any energy left over, then I might think about other people. This is not good.
At some point in your life, you will pause, and question how you’re spending your time serves your higher purpose. Sure, education, relationship, family, friends, career, house, money, traveling etc. are desirable aspects of our life, but what truly defines us?
