What fruit is best for helping with heart problems?
"Eat your fruits and vegetables" is one of the tried and true recommendations for a healthy diet. And for good reason. Eating plenty of fruits and vegetables can help you ward off heart disease and stroke, control blood pressure and cholesterol, prevent some types of cancer, avoid a painful intestinal ailment called diverticulitis, and guard against cataract and macular degeneration, two common causes of vision loss. What does "plenty" mean? More than most Americans consume. If you don't count potatoes - which should be considered a starch rather than a vegetable - the average American gets a total of just three servings of fruits and vegetables a day. The latest dietary guidelines call for five to thirteen servings of fruits and vegetables a day, depending on one's caloric intake.(1) For a person who needs 2,000 calories a day to maintain weight and health, this translates into nine servings, or 4½ cups per day. Over the past 30 years or so, researchers have developed a solid base of science to back up what generations of mothers preached (but didn't always practice themselves). Early on, fruits and vegetables were acclaimed as cancer-fighting foods. In fact, the ubiquitous 5-A-Day message (now quietly changing to Eat 5 to 9 A Day) seen in produce aisles, magazine ads, and schools is supported in part by the National Cancer Institute. The latest research, though, suggests that the biggest payoff from eating fruits and vegetables is for the heart.
The core of the Israeli cuisine is the Ottoman Turkish kitchen, which has influenced all the cultures from Greece around through the Levant and Egypt. When you travel, it is suggested to focus on the native cuisine (although as noted Israel has a fine international cuisine as well).Our native cuisine emphasizes olive oil, bread, grains, vegetables, fruits, white cheeses and herbs. The first and best introduction is the Israeli “kibbutz” breakfast where you will get introduce to all of that in its simplest form.Of course everyone encounters our street food - shwarma, falafel, shakshouka - and you probably have encountered it elsewhere. But go deeper.For lunch, wherever you are I really suggest you explore the local open air market. In Jerusalem this will be Mahane Yehuda; in Tel Aviv it will be the Carmel Market and the adjoining old neighborhood of Neve Tsaddik. In the open markets you can sample a range of Israeli ethnic treats like the burekas (Turkish), kubbe (Turkish, Kurdish, Iraqi), North African tagine stews over rice, and things like that.Go deeper. In Jeruasalem there are a few Persian and Iraqi restaurants around the Mahane Yehuda Market, on Agrippas Street. Nearby are also a good Moroccan and a good Ethiopian restaurant.If you are on the coastal plain, plan to have a meal in Ramle or Umm Al Fahm or Akko, cities with large Arab populations which will have traditional Palestinian dishes like maklouba and kabse. These emphasize lamb and fresh herbs and grains.Our native cuisine is diverse and has much to offer which you cannot easily find somewhere else. You can always have a Chinese dinner in your home region but you can’t get maklouba or a good plate of Egyptian ful and baked egg (oh, be sure to get to Beit Ha Ful if you are in Beersheva!). And our native cuisine is almost always a lot cheaper than the fancy foreign stuff.So go to the markets, the less wealthy areas, the Arab areas - and enjoy the cuisine of the Middle East. It’s cheap, it’s healthy, and it’s “baladi”, genuinely native.
Palestine and Israel - (their point of views not USA)?
There is but one Jewish state in the entire world. There are 22 Arab states. The last thing the world needs is still another Arab state, and one that is sworn to destroy Israel. It is from the term "Philistines" that the name "Palestinians" has been taken. Actually, the ancient Philistines and modern Palestinians have something in common: both are invaders from other lands! That is precisely the meaning of their name, that is not an ethnic denomination but an adjective applied to them: Peleshet, from the verb "pelesh", "dividers", "penetrators" or "invaders". The Philistines were a confederation of non-Semitic peoples coming from Crete, the Aegean Islands and Asia Minor, also known as "Sea Peoples". The main tribes were Tzekelesh, Shardana, Akhaiusha, Danauna, Tzakara, Masa or Meshwesh, Lukki, Dardana, Tursha, Keshesh or Karkisha, Labu and Irven. The original homeland of the group that ruled the Philistine federation, namely the "Pelesati", was the island of Crete. When the Minoic civilization collapsed, also the Minoic culture disappeared from Crete, as invaders from Greece took control of the island. These ancient Cretans arrived in Southern Canaan and were known as "Pelestim and Keretim" by Hebrews and Canaanites (that became allied to fight the invaders). Their first settlement seem to have been Gaza, whose original name was "Minoah", a clear reference to the fallen Minoic kingdom. They also invaded Egypt and were defeated by Pharaoh Ramose III in the 12th century b.c.e. The Philistines were organized in city-states, being the most important the Pentapolis: Gaza, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Gath and Ekron, and their territory was close to the Mediterranean coast, a little longer and broader than the present-day "Gaza Strip" - not the whole Judah, they never reached Hevron, Jerusalem or Yericho!
Can any one give me Recipes and foods that were eaten in Biblical times?
All I'm sure about, besides fish, is bread and wine :) I imagine they may have used sheep and goats for meat and possibly milk.
As with so many vague, general questions, it's hard to give a specific answer to this. How hot? For how much of the year? How dry? Will you ever give extra water, or are you looking for plants that can make it totally on what the weather provides?Figs do very well in Mediterranean climates, but I don't know if they would stand up to tropical region drylands. Carobs do well wherever figs grow. Tamarind prefers more tropical regions, and withstands (even needs) long dry seasons. Baobabs too. Look for lists of fruiting plants commonly grown in areas equivalent to the one you are considering. Again, in Mediterranean climates, you can grow fruits native to the Mediterranean Basin itself, to California, South Africa, West and South Australia and parts of Chile. Plenty of options to keep you busy.
