Narra – Philippine National Tree
• A large deciduous tree that can grow up to 30 to 40 meters in height, with a
trunk that can grow up to 2 meters in diameter
• Flowering season is from February to May
• The timber is hardwood, purplish in color, rose-scented, and resistant to
pests, insects, and fungi
• The flower is used as a honey source while leaf infusions are used as
shampoos. Both flowers and young leaves are said to be edible
• In folk medicine, can also make herbs and medicines, curing diarrhea,
asthma, headaches, dropsy, and used to combat tumors, due its acidic
polypeptide found in its leaves that inhibit the growth of Ehrlich ascites
carcinoma cells
• It was also used as a diuretic in Europe during the 16th and 18th centuries
• Seedlings grow very fast when they're in the soil. They become fully grown
trees in just 4 years.

Diet – Liver Hypothesis
The traditional diet–heart hypothesis is that particular dietary
components increase blood cholesterol concentrations and that,
in turn, elevated blood cholesterol level is causally linked to
increased risk of coronary heart disease.

Liver, the second largest organ in the body (after the skin),

Humans Are Made to Eat Both Meat and Fruit...
but Grains and Vegetables, be Careful
• In many ways, we have the guts of both a carnivore and a
fruit eater — which is part of where we are unique in the
animal kingdom
• Our gut is actually very similar to the large brained spider
monkey which gets 75% of its energy from fruit
• Fruit and meat digestion is similar in a lot of ways
• Unlike vegetables, digesting fruit and meat both rely on
enzymes instead of fermentation
• Our liver welcomes fructose and converts glucose into
fructose when there’s none (3% thru the Polyol pathway)
• Fructose from added sugars is bad, Fruit Is Not
