[What is Pine bark?]

Pine bark, botanical name Pinus pinaster, is a maritime pine native to southwest France that also grows in countries along the western Mediterranean.  Pine bark contains a number of beneficial compounds that are extracted from the bark in a way that doesn’t destroy or damage the tree.

[How does it work?]

What gives pine bark extract its notoriety as a powerful ingredient and super antioxidant is that it’s loaded with oligomeric proanthocyanidin compounds, OPCs for short. The same ingredient can be found in grape seeds, the skin of peanuts and witch hazel bark. But what makes this miracle ingredient so amazing?

While OPCs found in this extract are mostly known for their antioxidant-producing benefits, these amazing compounds exude antibacterial, antiviral, anticarcinogenic, anti-aging, anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic properties. Pine bark extract can help reduce muscle soreness and may help improve conditions relating to poor circulation, high blood pressure, osteoarthritis, diabetes, ADHD, female reproductive issues, skin, erectile dysfunction, eye disease and sports stamina.

Seems like it must be pretty amazing, but let’s look closer. The list goes on a bit further, as the OPCs in this extract may “inhibit lipid peroxidation, platelet aggregation, capillary permeability and fragility, and to affect enzyme systems,” which basically means it may be a natural treatment for many serious health conditions, such as stroke and heart disease.

https://mamanatural.com/ Coconut milk is a nutritious beverage that tastes great in smoothies, curries, and even chai tea. What’s more, it makes a wonderful substitute for those that can’t tolerate dairy, particularly children, since it’s contains nourishing lauric acid as well as medium chain fatty acids which are known for their health benefits… definitely heartier than rice milk.

Now, how do we make this drink? Well, easy. Climb a tree. Pick a coconut. Then get a hammer and smash the thing open. Be sure not to hurt yourself in the process.

Ha.. ha… for those of us who don’t live in the tropics, making your own coconut milk can be a major ordeal.

That’s why I’m excited to share with you a healthy “short cut” to making the milk that doesn’t rely on a can opener. You see, canned coconut milk works fine in a pinch but we want to limit our use of canned foods due to their Bisphenol A (or BPA) content. This compound has been linked to reproductive problems, cancer and type II diabetes.

You’ll need two ingredients for this recipe. Organic, unsweetened shredded coconut. You can find this online or at health food stores. And filtered water. You can also add sweeteners or flavorings such as vanilla, cocoa, stevia, or even passion fruit but these are optional as it really tastes delicious au natural.

Below are two recipes for you to try.

“Cooked” Coconut Milk

Ingredients
2 cups organic, unsweetened shredded coconut
3 cups of hot filtered water (Use 2 cups if you want a thicker milk)

Directions

Put 2 cups of shredded coconut into blender.
Pour the boiling hot water into blender.
Slowly blend till smooth. Be cautious because the water is HOT!
Let sit for 15 minutes.
Line a strainer with cheesecloth and put over bowl.
Pour the mixture through strainer and wait till cools.
Fold up cheesecloth and squeeze to get remaining liquid.
Store coconut milk in glass jar, tightly sealed in the refrigerator.
You can add flavorings and sweeteners to enhance taste.
Enjoy within 3-4 days.
*Because this coconut milk doesn’t have added emulsifiers, the fat will rise to top. Simply shake and the milk will be unified.

“Raw” Coconut Milk

Ingredients
2 cups organic, unsweetened shredded coconut
3 cups of filtered water (Use 2 cups if you want a richer milk)
*Modified on a recipe posted on elanaskitchen.com

Let sit for 90 minutes.
Line a strainer with cheesecloth and put over bowl.
Pour the mixture through strainer and wait till cools.
Fold up cheesecloth and squeeze to get remaining liquid.
Store coconut milk in glass jar, tightly sealed in the refrigerator.
You can add flavorings and sweeteners to enhance taste.
Enjoy within 3-4 days.
*Because this coconut milk doesn’t have added emulsifiers, the fat will rise to top. Simply shake and the milk will be unified.
