Usage of cloves and clove water is nothing new of course, but some way we’ve gotten away of using these natural things to enhance health and even heal. Let’s dive right in by watching this video as a summary of the benefits of drinking clove water. It’s astonishing when I think about people on medications for various things and the medications are addressing the symptoms but not the underlying reason for why the illness or symptom is occurring.
So let’s recap the benefits of drinking clove water. There are a few duplications in the video so these are the 10 major reasons to use clove water daily:
Number 1: It’s good for heart health ❤️
Number 2: Improves immunity
Number 3: Good for dental health 🦷
Number 4: Reduces inflammation and thus may reduce pain 🤕
Number 5: Detoxifies, liver health
Number 6: Helps regulate glucose
Number 7: clearer skin
Number 8: Aids in clearing skin rashes
Number 9: Decrease stress
Number 10: Aids in digestion, aids in food absorption 🍽️. Improves insulin resistance.
How to make clove water. Follow this simple recipe:
Add about 4-5 cloves (1/2 teaspon) to a cup of boiling water. Let it steep 5-10 minutes. I love to add a few pieces of ginger root and lemon sometimes as well but this is optional. You may want to flavor with a small amount of honey or stevia if the taste is too strong. Let cool or drink warm. You can use the cloves more than once before discarding them. Use this 2-3 times a week for maximum benefits. Very economical and effective!

About 50-75 % of the world population suffer from this bacteria H.Pylori. It’s one of the few bacteria that can thrive in stomach acid. It can be contracted through saliva, plaque on teeth and poop. Infection can be spread through kissing, not thoroughly washing hands and transferring the bacteria hand to hand to others after a bowel movement, and sometimes via intercourse (H.Pylori can be present in the vagina). It’s more prevalent in developing countries and area of poor sanitation. It also might be spread through H. pylori-contaminated food and water. In the U.S., H. pylori bacteria are found in about 5% of children under the age of 10. No one is immune to it in the right conditions, however, it doesn’t cause illness in most people.
Symptoms and Complications
H. pylori (Helicobacter Pylori) is a bacteria that can cause an infection in the stomach or duodenum (first part of the small intestine). This is the most common cause of peptic ulcer disease. H. pylori can also cause inflammation and irritation of the stomach lining (gastritis). Untreated, long-term H. pylori infection can lead to stomach cancer although rare.
Take a look at this short video on symptoms and diagnosis
In addition to screening and treatment, your doctor may recommend some lifestyle changes, such as eating more fruits, veggies and fiber.
Let’s recap the main symptoms:
Dull or burning pain in your stomach (often occurs a few hours after eating and at night). The pain may last minutes and as long as hours and may come and go over a few days to weeks.
Unplanned weight loss
Bloating
Nausea or vomiting (bloody vomit).
Indigestion
Belching
Decrease in appetite
Dark stools (could be blood in the stools)
If you have these symptoms, testing is simple and doesn’t take long. It’s worthwhile to check with your doctor and talk about your symptoms. They will most likely write an order for a simple lab test. There are many natural remedies and conventional therapy is very effective. Click on the link below for a short video by Dr. Berg that gives some easy and extremely effective natural and alternative treatment. Maybe one will fit your lifestyle. Even if you are tested and don’t have H.Pylori, these 6 things are great for developing and maintaining a healthy gut.
The use of chia seeds has been rising and their health benefits are undeniable. It’s very worthwhile to incorporate them in your daily diet. They’ve been used in yogurt and breakfasts, snacks like granola and cookies to smoothies, but there’s one easy way to use them that is sure to help in a huge way when it comes to our health. Let’s jump right into these and explain why:
Number 1 Boosts Immune System
It’s a powerful immune system booster. Due to it’s Omega 3 content, antioxidant properties and high fiber content, they strengthen the immune system by decreasing inflammation and support the health of the gut. We’ve all heard the phrase “You are what you eat” and this is most definitely true when we consider that a large part of the immune system has to do with our gut health and what we feed our body.
Number 2 Improves Sleep Cycle
Since Chia Seeds have a significant content of Magnesium, it acts as a relaxant and aids in the body and brain get in a sleep ready state. There are also influences on neurotransmitters in the brain that aid in sleep readiness.
Number 3 Very Hydrating
The primary advantage of enjoying chia seeds water is the remarkable hydration it provides. Chia seeds can soak up to twelve times their weight in water, making them an outstanding hydration source. When you soak these seeds, they turn into a gel-like texture that not only quenches your thirst but also helps you feel full. This is especially helpful in the morning after a long night’s rest, as your body craves rehydration to kick off the day.
Number 4 Helps in Weight Loss and Maintaining a Healthy Weight
Foods packed with fiber like chia seeds will help to decrease cravings for snacking because they make us feel full. Also fiber feeds our healthy bacteria in the gut, thus changing our taste and desire for some of the unhealthy foods. It is definitely a super food!
Number 5 Chia Seeds Are Heart Healthy
Let these little power packed seeds work while you are sleeping. Studies have proven that the heart diseases can turn fatal after 10 pm at night (when you are resting); thus, drinking chia seeds after dinner regularly can help to manage high cholesterol levels.
How to Make Chia Seeds Water Correctly?
It is important to understand how to make this drink correctly before consumption in order to enjoy the full health benefits of this drink. Follow these easy steps to make chia seeds water for maximum benefit: Take 1-2 tablespoons of chia seeds and about a cup of water. Next, soak the seeds in the cup of water for about 10-15 minutes. This will allow the seeds to absorb the water and swell. If you would like to make the drink more flavorful, you can add a squirt or two of lemon juice, a small amount of honey, or even your favorite flavor tea. In addition, drink your chia seed water about 30-60 minutes before you sleep to receive the best benefits.
Before we finish check out these amazing recipes by Joanna Soh
Last tip⚠️: never eat chia seeds without hydrating them first with some form of liquid or yogurt, pudding, etc. Caution must be taken to make sure they are allowed to swell before consuming.

I think we can all agree that it seems to be getting harder to protect ourselves from viral diseases and Covid-19 made most of us delve more into educating ourselves on how to prevent infection and prevent disease in general. It’s almost as if it woke a lot of us up regarding how we’re eating, if we’re getting enough vitamins and minerals. Many of us even began to look closer at comorbidities that lurk in our family histories as well as if we ourselves are doing the healthiest things to live a long but healthy life.
Take a look at how you can naturally help to provide your body to have a healthier immune system, thus promoting overall health.
Video Credit: Healthy Immune Doc
Here is a summary of what Healthy Immune Doc shared in her video. Once you get started and put these foods, herbs and spices into your daily routine you are sure to see the difference for yourself. I’ve added a few more foods that help to promote a healthy immune system as well, such as: Blackseed Oil, Yogurt, Apple Cider Vinegar (with the mother), sauerkraut and last but not least, if I had to pick a supplement to take daily it would be vitamin D, C and Zinc together.
Of course exercise 3-4 times a week such as brisk walking goes a long way to promote our health and getting our proper amount of water intake.
If you have anything that’s not on the above list that you do to promote a healthy immune system, please leave a comment!

Shalom family, friends and readers who may be visiting my site for the first time! It’s been a long time since I’ve posted. October 7, 2023 changed our lives forever. It’s day 218 of the war and as we approach Israel’s Memorial Day for the fallen (Yom haZikaron) and Israel’s Independence Day (Yom ha’atzmaute), mixed emotions are being felt. I decided that it’s time to get back to whatever level of normal that I can although a lot has changed; but overall we are grateful to be alive and continue to pray for the families who have lost loved ones and to BRING THEM HOME (those hostages still not returned to their families).
Today there’s a subject that is in my opinion one of the most important topics that can be discussed; prevention of Dimentia or slowing the process. I want to share a few videos that walks us through the signs and stages of Dimentia, the types of Dimentia that exist and lastly how it can be prevented or the process slowed. In this age of fast food, toxins in everything from our so called food to the air we breathe and water we drink, we need no help with being vulnerable to Dimentia. We must fight to preserve our brain health and believe it or not there are some simple things that we can do. Brain matters and yes that pun is intended! Take a look at the link to the vid by Dr. Sten Ekberg (private vid https://youtu.be/Cd3u0yav_bU?si=tg2L6bTeNxRpY8-n and the below vid by Dr. Livingood.
Video credit Dr. Livingood
In Dr. Livingood’s video he stresses that there must be a change in lifestyle. I want to take a minute and highlight those things below:
Fasting: Type 3 diabetes has been a term linked to insulin issues and as mentioned in the vid, our brain can benefit from intermittent fasting just as our gastrointestinal system. The brain and gut are tied together.
MOVEMENT!!!! Even if you can spare 10 minutes getting your heart rate up to get more blood flow to the brain.
Decrease inflammation and plagues forming in the brain by ingesting Omega 3 and tumeric. It’s worthwhile getting as much as we can in our diet but supplements are good as well.
Healthy fats versus bad fats: avacado is great as well as walnuts and other foods in their natural state. Coconut oil is mentioned in the video but I believe there still need to be long-term studies before ingesting this daily.
Sleep is crucial. Get your rest! Adults should be resting minimum 7 hours per night. This also will reduce the chance for stroke and heart attack. The brain uses a very large portion of our glucose energy and must reboot so to speak.
In addition, keep your brain sharp by always trying to learn something new such as a new language, board games like Scrabble, dance, pick up writing or journaling.
So incorporate things into your day like taking the stairs instead of the elevator, plan your meals and if you snack in between make it something tasty but healthy….all of us cheat and ingest unhealthy things void of no nutrition but limit those times as much as possible. BE GOOD TO YOUR 🧠 BRAIN!

This health topic this week is dedicated to a good friend and sister of mine that recently suddenly passed away. She was kind, extremely funny, had an infectious smile, a laugh that would send you into laughter, sung often loud and off tune but just so full of such life. She was a true light and servant of the Most High. May she be remembered always and rest in peace.
This video was sent to me by her to share. She was a great support to me in continuing to bring forth health topics and encouraged me to research topics such as this often. Please view the video and feel free to leave me a comment what you think….Spirulina or Chlorella, which is best in your opinion and why?
To the family and friends of our Beloved Sister Donna, our deepest condolences from her Israel Family. She will truly be missed but always remembered.

Have you ever had a day that you were so mentally down that you could hardly find your way to do the basic daily tasks that you should…..like wash your face, brush your teeth, shower, make your bed or even eat a single meal? I want to high light in this post the MSP Connection (Mental, Soul and Physical Connection) as I have coined it. There is a rising and alarming rate of children and adults being diagnosed with some type of mental disorder. What is happening that is causing this? What are some things we can do to help ourselves and our loved ones to decrease the risk of falling amongst the ranks of the millions of those that suffer daily? Please watch these brief videos that shed a lot on this subject. The first thing we can do is recognize those that may be showing signs of a problem.

I truly believe the WHY has a lot to do with us being in such a fast paced, technology filled and social media infected lifestyle. Seems to me people were happier before cell phones, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram and tiktok. Every time you turn around there’s someone that you find is posting their inner most secrets on social media or making it to look like their lives are flawless, which can tend to make the youth, especially, feel inadequate as if something is wrong with them for not having the same experiences.
This next video shares the impact of how mental issues are affecting our youth. Keep in mind that the signs that adults may demonstrate may not necessarily manifest the same in the youth. Take a look.

So how do we prevent from going down the downward spiral of anxiety, depression and other issues tied to poor mental health? Well anyone that knows me knows that I’m a firm believer in our culture protecting us. Some of us would call it a religion or belief in a higher being. I believe that the Heavenly Father has put in place all that we need, not just for physical matters but for our spiritual needs as well. The spirit stands between the physical body and our soul. Keeping ourselves well fed physically and spiritually is imperative in order that the soul is not destroyed.
I have posted in the past the connection between the gut and brain, knowing that if we put healthy things in our mouths, our bodies will be better off. I don’t think anyone would argue with that.
Getting the proper amount of sleep often will help us to have a better outlook on the day and give us the energy to tackle our problems
We need each other! Anyone that has been isolated from loved ones, or those without friends and family, for whatever reason truly are affected by isolation. Don’t feel afraid to reach out. Yes, there is the risk of rejection in trying to meet and get to know people but the benefit of friendships and love far outweighs the risk. Also, those that have found strong connections, let others into your circle or family. Love is a healer.
Busy yourself with feeding your soul with the nourishment that it needs. Strive to be the best you and focus on TODAY. We can’t change the past but can improve on the present and future by putting in the self work.
GIVE and do it from the heart❤️! If it’s not real I suggest you keep it. Don’t get into the pattern of thinking that money is the only thing you can give, sometimes your time is the most valuable and heartfelt thing that will reach someone.
Connect with nature and all that the Most High has made for us to see, feel, taste, touch, smell and be grateful for your senses and abilities. Being out in nature has been shown to positively impact health.
Have a hobby. Something that you can develop possibly even into a talent. It could be as simple as reading, writing a poem, bird watching, listen to inspiring music, dance, coin or stamp collecting, etc.
And last but not least, be able to forgive yourself and others. Don’t carry baggage because it will only load you down. Easier said than done but most definitely there’s something that most of us need to unpack and let go of, and the sooner the better.
I’d love to hear back from those of you who have other suggestions on keeping your spirits up. Feel free to comment back😀.
I hope this will set you on a journey to a cleaner bill of MSP Health and maybe even help you to help someone else, whether they be a loved one or stranger that you encounter. Let the humanity in you shine through! Be a blessing to all you meet. One love!

I was recently inspired to start a new series of posts here at Tapin2life which will be called as titled above, “If You Don’t Do It For Yourself”. A few years ago I started the series, “Journey to Wellness, Turning Back the Clock”, however, lately more and more I’ve had my focus on my sons and daughters and the other children that I did not birth but love them just the same as the ones that I did. My thoughts have been heavily on what I can do to help them to incorporate healthier habits for a healthier life, longevity and better future. After all, it’s better to prevent disease than to have to backtrack and search for a cure.
Sometimes when we suffer from ailments and chronic illnesses ourselves, whether it be pain from a known or unknown source, severe allergies, diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol or even mental health issues, we can get stuck on self and just trying to make it day by day. Fortunately for me, most of the time my children will go along with the healthy changes that I introduce to them to incorporate, but when they don’t, I have to admit as a parent it concerns me greatly, mainly because I know the consequences to come of not guarding one’s health.
Coming off of the No Processed Food, No Sugar, No Animal products and Low Salt Challenge from a few weeks ago, I felt renewed, energized, clearer in my head on a lot of things. I hope those that joined me did as well. What I want to talk to you about today is……….
“If you don’t change to a more healthy lifestyle for yourself, do it for the loved ones in your life”, as an old slogan went back in the day.
Our children and for some of us our grand children are watching us and not only that, they develop some of the same good and bad habits that we had or have by being around us whether it be eating habits, smoking, drinking alcohol, etc. Think about it like this; usually, mothers and fathers are our first teachers. Children learn directly and passively. We have the power to make a great impact on our children. Watch this video to see an example of a young child who is definitely receiving positive teachings from his parents.

Now let’s look at some statistics, which is the bulk of what I want to focus on in this post:
Facts about ADHD
Millions of US children have been diagnosed with ADHD (information posted from the CDC, Data and Statistics About ADD/ADHD)
The estimated number of children aged 3–17 years ever diagnosed with ADHD, according to a national survey of parents,1 is 6 million (9.8%) using data from 2016-2019. This number includes
3–5 years: 265,000 (2%)
6–11 years 2.4 million (10%)
12–17 years: 3.3 million (13%).
Boys (13%) are more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD than girls (6%).1
Black, non-Hispanic children and White, non-Hispanic children are more often diagnosed with ADHD (12% and 10%, respectively), than Hispanic children (8%) or Asian, non-Hispanic children (3%).1
Estimates for ADHD vary by state: 2
ADHD diagnosis among children aged 3–17 years: State estimates vary from 6% to 16%.
Any ADHD treatment among children with current ADHD: State estimates vary from 58% to 92%
ADHD medication: State estimates vary from 38% to 81%
ADHD behavior treatment: State estimates vary from 39% to 62%
Now having posted that information, I want you to watch something that hopefully will change what you think about how you care for not only yourself but for your children or in some cases your grand children. Along with these few tips and a healthy diet packed with nutrition, hopefully if you see these signs in your child, you have more options than getting them put on Ritalin or some form of an amphetamine. This also will benefits adults too.
Video Credit: YouTube, Do This for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder – Omega 3 Fatty Acids For ADHD – Dr. Eric Berg, DC
Vitamin B1 or thiamine (can use Nutritional Yeast). Nutritional yeast also contains vitamin B2 (riboflavin), (vitamin B3) niacin (vitamin B6) pyridoxine, (vitamin B12) cobalamin, trace minerals such as zinc, selenium, manganese, and molybdenum.
Reduce the intake of Omega 6 Fatty Acids—-FOUND IN HIGH AMOUNTS OF PROCESSED FOODS AND OILS SUCH AS: SOYBEAN OIL, CORN OIL, CANOLA OIL, and COTTONSEED OILS. Omega 6 is very inflammatory.
In conclusion, once again I can not stress enough, our youth often develop the same habits good or bad as we do. Consider that if you love your children, make that change for them if not for you.
