Free radical damage occurs as part of our 
normal bodily functions (breathing, 
metabolism, and physical activity) and our 
immune system naturally generates free 
radicals to neutralize viruses and bacteria. 
Therefor we should fortify our diet with 
antioxidant rich food. Antioxidants provide 
your body with natural protection against 
free radical damage. Organically grown 
fruits and vegetables have significantly 
higher levels of antioxidants such as 
polyphenols and flavenoids and quercetin 
(cranberries, bilberries, black currants )
Eat Your Veggies for Healthy Antioxidants – 
but Which Ones?
         Broccoli, greens, beans, artichokes, 
and onions,, are good sources of 
polyphenol flavonoids. And of course, raw 
Dear Friends,
    Welcome to the first edition of La 
Diosa newsletter. Over many years I 
have witnessed people becoming 
increasingly interested in ways to 
promote and preserve their own health 
and not be over reliant on drugs and 
their doctors. People are becoming 
aware of the limitations of our 
standard western approach to health 
and medicine, which is symptom 
orientated. We now know that treating 
the symptoms of disease does little or 
nothing to resolve the origins of 
disease and yet incredibly this is largely 
the approach of modern medicine. 
    In this regard we are part of a global 
paradigm shift away from total 
dependence on pharma / chemical 
agent intervention in the management 
of our own health.

Based on the U.S. 
market, over 95% of 
candles sold today are 
made from paraffin. 
Paraffin is a toxic, 
petrochemical 
byproduct.
Most of the other 5% 
of candles sold are 
made from soy wax or 
palm wax. Both soy and palm are 
actually oils when harvested. Those 
oils are then hydrogenated to turn 
them into a wax. This process 
creates millions of tonnes of dioxins 
– which are toxic to both humans

   1. Consume 
fewer calories 
-- in fact, 
enough to lose 
20 pounds a 
year without 
doing anything different or eating 
anything different. It takes about 
20 minutes for your brain to 
register that you’re full. If you eat 
fast, you can continue eating past 
the point where you’re actually 
full.
   2. Lose weight. A growing 
number of studies confirm that 
just by eating slower, you’ll Here 
are Enjoy your food. It’s hard to 
enjoy your food if it goes by too 
quickly. Make your meals a 
gastronomic pleasure, not a thing 
you do rushed, between stressful 
events.
   3. Better digestion. If you eat 
slower, you’ll chew your food 
better, which leads to better 
digestion. Digestion actually 
starts in the mouth, so the more 
work you do up there, the less 
you’ll have to do in your stomach.
   4. Less stress. Eating slowly, 
and paying attention to our 
eating, can be a great form of 
mindfulness exercise. Be in the 
moment, rather than rushing 
through a meal thinking about 
what you need to do next.
   5. Rebel against fast food and 
fast life. A hectic, fast-paced, 
stressful, chaotic lives -- the Fast 
Life -- leads to eating Fast Food, 
and eating it quickly. Rebel 
against that entire lifestyle and 
philosophy with the small act of 
eating slower.
