Why Delights from the Vine?
Several years ago, a diabetic friend of mine was asked to bring a pecan pie to his family’s Thanksgiving dinner --- a desert he couldn’t even eat. I was determined that he should be able to enjoy the same food as the rest of the family, so with some imagination and divine inspiration, I came up with a lower carb pecan pie that he could
Several years ago, a diabetic friend of mine was asked to bring a pecan pie to his family’s Thanksgiving dinner --- a desert he couldn’t even eat. I was determined that he should be able to enjoy the same food as the rest of the family, so with some imagination and divine inspiration, I came up with a lower carb pecan pie that he could eat. I also made a traditional pecan pie, and to my surprise, everyone preferred the taste of the lower carb version. The idea for Delights from the Vine was born!

Ginger has long been known as a home remedy for nausea, but that is not its only benefit. The possible health properties of ginger also include reducing inflammation and improving cardiovascular health, although this research is ongoing. Other possible benefits are reducing cholesterol, lowering the risk of blood clotting, and helping to maintain healthy blood sugar levels. We can hope future research could prove ginger as part of an effective treatment for heart disease and diabetes.
Research conducted in 2004 has shown that spices such as Ginger contain phytochemicals that could interrupt factors which are linked with inflammatory diseases, including Diabetes. Studies and links used for this information, include:
“Suppression of the nuclear factor-kappaB activivation pathway by spice-derived phytochemicals; reasoning for seasoning,” Aggarwal BB, Shisshodia S. Ann, NY Acad Sci 2004 Dec; 1030:434-341. and www.medicalnewstoday.com.
