Question 2

Are there any benefits from eating tumeric and pepper (cayenne) together?  i put both on nuts and seeds in the morning.  any problems?

Accepted Answer

Both turmeric and cayenne are healthy so you will get the benefits of both.
Turmeric is poorly absorbed but adding black pepper to it dramatically increases absorption (but cayenne does not do that) so you might add a tiny bit of black pepper to your mix- see http://tinyurl.com/ybe6omag

Question 5

I know green tea is good 4 u. but is all kinds of green tea good 4 u or just regular. or can i drink peppermint green tea & get same health benefits?

Accepted Answer

good for you.  It is picked earlier than black or red tea and thus has more potent antioxidents in it.  Some green tea is flavored w/peppermint or jasmine which is not a problem but it may lower the content of the actual green tea.  White tea is picked earliest and is even better than green tea.  It has a light flavor.  Peace and good health.
