<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Health is Wealth</span></span></b></div>
<br /><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Guyabano as we call it here in the Philippines has definitely gained popularity in the last couple of years, after more and more people started testifying about its many beneficial effects on the body. It has been acknowledged as the miracle cure for cancer (through independent studies), but not by the medical industry who still maintains that chemotherapy is the only treatment.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I'm not really a huge fan of eating the fruit, I prefer atis actually, unless the soursop is served as a smoothie then we're good haha. My husband loves it though and gets himself a fresh one in the market when it's available. Anyway, we can talk about the fruit another time, it's the graviola leaves that I'm zoning in on in today's write up.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /><b>Here are some of the benefits of Guyabano/Soursop leaves:</b><br /> </span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">For Cancer treatment and prevention<br /><br />According to a study conducted by experts from Purdue University in the US, guyubano leaves are very good for the treatment of various diseases, especially cancer. The study proves that the leaves can inhibit cancer cell growth. Some types of cancer that can be treated are breast cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer and 12 other types of cancer.<br /><br />The procedure to make it is:  take old soursop leaves and boil with 3 cups of water. Leave until remaining one cup of water, drink 2 times a day for 2 weeks.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> For treating Uric Acid<br /><br />Guyabano leaves can also be used as a cure for gout. Many alternative medicines use the leaves for the treatment of gout. <br /><br />The procedure to make it is: take 6-10 old soursop leaves but still green then wash cleanly. Furthermore cut soursop leaves with the aim of ensuring the content in the leaves right out. Boil the leaves with 2 cups of water. Simmer until remaining 1 cup of water. Drink the concoction twice a day in the morning and evening.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">For treating Back Pain.<br /><br />If you have any problems with your waist, try to make a potion of guyabano leaves. Take 20 pieces of leaves and boil with 5 cups of water. Allow to boil and the remaining 3 cups. Drink this mixture ¾ cup once a day.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Helps the Immune System and prevents infections<br /><br />The content in guyabano leaves is believed to boost the immune system and prevent infection in the body. <br /><br />The procedure is: prepare 4/5 soursop leaves, boil with 4 cups of water and then simmer until the remaining 1 cup. Drink once a day.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">For treating Eczema and Rheumatism.<br /><br />Mash the guyabano leaves to a smooth consistency and apply on the body that feels pain or pain due to arthritis or eczema regularly twice a day.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">For treating Ulcers<br /><br />Pick fresh young guyabano leaves and stick it on the body affected by ulcers.</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">You might have heard of guyabano leaf extract in capsule forms as I have which is not surprising due to its recent celebrity status with health aficionados like Mr. D and I. The leaf extract can help tackle cancer other than also maintaining a healthy body thus preventing various health problems. Here are some of the known benefits:</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">One of my aunts contracted cervical cancer and underwent chemotherapy which made her gravely ill after treatment. We seriously thought she wasn't going to last long, but when she started taking Guyabano tea and drank it as much as she drinks water on a daily basis her condition miraculously improved at a very quick pace and she never went back to the hospital to this day. My husband gets his Guyabano tea fix every night and is now reaping the rewards of adding it to his routine that he gets much needed energy boosts throughout the day. The difference was astounding that even I tried it out and felt the difference. I'm usually dead tired even before night fall, pregnancy and taking care of 2 toddlers plus a gradeschooler can do that but I don't tire that easily anymore after drinking Guyabano tea. Beats those energy drinks that are loaded with chemicals, that's for sure! Try it our yourself and be amazed with the results as we were! </span><br />

Published by <a href="http://www.laurenceking.com/">Laurence King</a>, this coloring book for adults has been making waves and already sold over 2 million copies worldwide, becoming one of the best-selling books on Amazon to date. I've been bitten by the same bug and got my daughter (I haven't got time to venture into coloring yet, maybe next year? haha) copies of this very book, in Chinese and recently in English, both from Teeter Toddlers, story <a href="http://www.stretchyourpeso.com/2015/08/teeter-toddlers-review.html">here</a>.

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It's not just a coloring book, but an inky treasure hunt, as written on the cover. This is due to the fact that each illustration features hidden creatures and curiosities of all kinds to be discovered. The book starts off with a list of things to be found plus a key and index which are included in the back, it's like an eye spy for adults. There are 63 beetles, 20 songbirds, 116 butterflies, a shark and so much more. All 96 pages of the book are in black and white, bare for each of us to embellish in color or even more black as some would prefer.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Scottish illustrator, Johanna Basford was approached by Lauren King Publishing after seeing her works which are widely recognized and can be found in products such as wallpapers, beer bottles and even tattoos. </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">DKNY,
 H&M, Hallmark, Johnson & Johnson, Nike, Sony Music, Sony 
Playstation, Starbucks, and The Body Shop are some of her clients. </span>She believes that </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">computer generated graphics can feel cold and soulless whereas hand 
drawing captures a sense of energy and character which no pixel can ever
 replicate. <span style="font-size: small;">Basford’s second title,<i> Enchanted Forest</i> (also published by Laurence King Publishing) which I already have a Chinese version of, has also sold over 2 million copies worldwide. I'm planning to purchase an English one of course and cannot wait to get my hands on the third one, </span>Lost Ocean, an Inky Adventure and Colouring Book' which will be published by <a href="http://penguinrandomhouse.com/" target="_blank">Penguin Random House</a> <span style="line-height: 1.6em;">and released this October 2015.</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There are definitely a lot of adult coloring books out but this one sure is one of the best! Get yourself a copy of Johanna Basford's Secret Garden and tumble down the rabbit hole and find yourself in her inky black and white Wonderland like Miss Arsty and I did!</span></div>
