Here are the first 4:

1. Snap open the shades. A jolt of morning light — scientists call it the dawn signal — activates special cells in your eyes that send a wake-up call to your brain’s internal clock.
2. Light up your brain at lunch, too. Sitting beside a sunny window for 30 minutes midday makes you more wide awake. In one study, women who did scored better on alertness tests afterward.
3. Top off your tank. Getting to the point where you’re just starting to feel thirsty — a mere 2.6% drop in hydration levels — can double your feelings of fatigue. It made study volunteers work twice as hard on a set of brain-teasing puzzles.
4. Squeeze your hand or tap your head. Sounds crazy, but DIY acupressure boosts alertness as effectively as a small cup of coffee, say University of Michigan researchers. Rap your knuckles a few times on the top of your head, squeeze the fleshy pad between your thumb and first finger, or massage the base of your skull and the front of your shins.

Subject: Adya Clarity Consumer Alert

Yesterday, I posted an important alert about Adya
Clarity…

If you or anyone you know have been taking this
product, please read this entire post here:

http://renegadehealth.com/blog/2011/11/01/adya-clarity-consumer-alert/

Also, a warning, as you dig deeper into this issue,
you’ll find a lot of back and forth as well as
accusations of all kinds.

I urge you to stay the course and remember what is
important here, which is yielding on the side of
caution. It doesn’t make sense to take a product
that is questionable when there are plenty that
are not.

You can read more about what I think, why I did not
get involved with the promotion of the product and
what to do if you’re taken an excessive amount of
it when you visit this link here:

Nopales, Cabbage and Corn Salad with Chef Joni Sare : The Renegade Health Show Episode #906

http://renegadehealth.com/blog/2011/10/16/nopales-cabbage-and-corn-salad/

What are nopales?

You’ll find out in this recipe if you don’t know. One of the benefits of eating them though is lowered blood sugar (helpful for diabetics.) They’re also great for soothing the stomach and digestive tract as well.

In today’s recipe, Chef Joni Sare shows you how to cut them and use them to make a perfectly refreshing and filling summer or fall salad.

Also, right before the end, Joni shared another cool recipe that we were even surprised about! Corn Silk Tea – for the digestion, a diuretic, cleansing the kidneys and bladder. www.jonisare.com

Chicha de Maiz
D- Make this raw by not boiling the corn.
Add a Tablespoon of kombucha, rejuvelac,fermented barley juice, lemon or vinegar instead of starter.

2 1/2 cups fresh corn (off the cob)
1/2 cup strawberry
1/2 cup coconut sugar
10 cups water
1 packet culture starter

In a large pot, combine the corn and water. Place over high heat and bring to boil, stirring now and then with a wooden spoon and scraping the bottom of the pot to prevent sticking and burning. When the mixture comes to a full boil, lower the heat and gently simmer, covered, for 2 hours, stirring now and then. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

Once cool, strain off the corn and put the water to the side.

Add 1 cup corn and 1/2 cup of strawberries and 1 cup of corn water to blender. Blend well and strain through a nut milk bag. Add this juice to the corn water along with the sugar and culture starter.

Pour into air tight glass containers and store in a dark place. Let ferment for 24 hours (or more if you want it to be stronger.)

Serve with a garnish of lemon slice.

Nut Cheese

Makes 2 cups

- 2 cups almonds, blanched and peeled
- 1 cup Rejuvelac or Water Kefir (or 1 cup water with 2 capsules of probiotic powder)

Place the almonds and Rejuvelac in a high-speed blender and process until smooth, adding more Rejuvelac if necessary to form a smooth, creamy texture.

Pour into a nut milk bag or cheesecloth-lined strainer such as a strawberry basket. Allow to strain and ferment for 12-48 hours, until desired tartness is achieved.

Remove the cheese from the strainer.

Add in basic flavoring: Start with about ½ teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon lemon juice. 1 – 2 teaspoons of nutritional yeast or miso can further deepen a flavor profile. A pinch of nutmeg is excellent too.

Refrigerate the cheese until ready to use. Season further or sweeten your cheese as desired before serving.

Stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, Nut Cheese it will last for up to two weeks.

Note: To blanch almonds, bring water almost to a boil and turn off the heat. Add the almonds and allow to sit for 3 – 5 minutes. Drain and rinse the almonds, and slip off the peels.
