Black Strap Molasses  

Blackstrap molasses may be your new vitalizer.  Have you ever gotten out of bed feeling brain-fagged and fatigued?  Did you wish you have a healthy diet fast food at your finger-tips?  A nutritious liquid is available to get you going.  Add lemon or lime juice for that zest and you have a strengthening energizer.

This healthy liquid diet is a by-product from the sugar-cane plant.  It is that thick, dark, naturally sweet stuff that may be used to add taste and nutrition to cookies and 'heavy cakes.'  I use it in peas, beans and stew dishes.  

Blackstrap molasses has been around for hundreds of years ….. ever since sugarcane plantations.  It was not for human consumption back in those earlier days.  Instead, it was food for livestock.

As researchers increase their interest about this easy healthy diet, their tests found it to be filled with nutrients and warranted human consumption. 

You see 'Blackstrap molasses' is not a refined product.  That makes it healthier than brown or white sugar.  It is a concentrated, nutritious 'goody.'  There are nutrients in this tonic to promote a healthy diet lifestyle.  What are these nutrients?  Most B complex vitamins, potassium, calcium, iron, plus several essential trace minerals.  

This is a pure, no fat energy tonic with about 45 calories in a table spoon.

Healing for Anemia:  It may aid those who may be suffering from an iron deficiency.  A daily drink of this 'energy outburst' tonic may help to enrich the blood.  It may work more efficiently than iron tablets because it is a liquid.  Liquids absorb faster in the body than solids.  

Healing for Arthritis:  Would you like to flex those joints some more?  Natural relief may be in a bottle of Blackstrap molasses.  If you are suffering from stiff joints, a dose of Blackstrap molasses 3 times a day may give some relief.  Just 1 teaspoon in 8 - 10 ounces of warm water may help.

Note of Caution 

It is best to mix Blackstrap molasses with warm water as it dissolves easier.  Some people may want to take it straight from the bottle, but that is not the ideal.  If you do that, remember to follow up by drinking at least 8 ounces of warm water.  This will aid digestion of the molasses.

It will take some time to get use to the taste, so you may start off with one teaspoon, and continue to increase the dose as you acquire the taste.  You might want to add it to plain milk if you do not like the taste with water.  When taken with warm water, always add lime or lemon juice to taste, or a little orange juice will also do.  The vitamin C will help with the absorption of iron.

If you are diabetic, go easy on the doses each day and remember to consult your doctor before taking added doses.
