HEALTH: Dessert First Club

Dessert first? How sacrilegious can you get! Here's the logic: When you have a meal, you often-to-always feel like eating something sweet afterwards. And by the end of the meal, your stomach is full of food and unable to digest even healthy desserts made with fruit ~ so, eat them first!

HEALTH: Slippery Elm

Slippery Elm (bark) is a wonderful, mild all-round remedy. It's great for constipation and diarrhea, for respiratory conditions and indigestion, etc. (See below for more info) It comes in a powder form, has a pleasant smell (like icecream cones!) and tastes slightly sweet. Be sure to buy organic.

If you want to turn a fruit smoothie into a firm dessert, add a little Slippery Elm to the mixture in the blender.
