@joeyyochheim @ML_Philosophy "And it is He who sends down rain from the sky, and We produce thereby the growth of all things. We bring forth from it greenery from which We bring forth grain in close succession. And from the palm trees - of its emerging fruit are clusters hanging low. And [We produce] gardens

@joeyyochheim Clean eating was holy long before it was trendy.

@joeyyochheim Aren’t these the foods that grow abundantly in the area and so would be eaten anyway?????

@joeyyochheim If we talk about a natural antibiotic, that would be garlic! In addition to being a natural antibiotic, garlic increases testosterone levels by reducing cortisol and supporting the production of luteinizing hormone (LH), which indicates to the testicles to produce testosterone.

@joeyyochheim Where is apple?

@joeyyochheim pomegranates are a big deal

@joeyyochheim love pomegranates for snacks great choice for healthy eating

@joeyyochheim Always impressive to see how the bible writers were instinctively right about so many things.
