Nana's know best (sometimes)

​Growing up I thought my Nan was ancient, over the hill and stuck in the past with her ideas, but as I’ve gotten older, and wiser, I’ve realised there was much wisdom in what she said..  That's my gorgeous Nan front and centre in the photo with my great grandfather and some of my great aunts and great uncle.
 
So here are a few of her rules I now follow myself:

  1. Grow what food you can and buy local.  This one I thought was sheer madness, why would we go backwards when we have so much available to us now?  The simple answer is more is not always better.  Our food is far inferior to the food our grandparents grew up on.  They had less but got more out of the little they had, whereas we have an abundance and need more and more to get the little we need because it is so lacking in any goodness or vitality.
  2. Garlic.  Now, I don’t eat garlic the way she did, raw in a slice of bread with a good slab of butter, but I do like a clove of garlic in a stuffed olive and add it to most of my cooked dishes.  Garlic is one simple herb that helps you with so many things: blood pressure, blood viscosity, candida, gut bacteria, detoxification and more.
  3. Drinking water.  My Nan would always have a pint of water next to her, she could never understand the fascination we had with fizzy drinks, sugary drinks, flavoured drinks and like most teens we were addicted to them.  Now I look at my tall glass bottle of water I keep next to me that I sip away on and refill throughout the day and smile, she would be smiling to.  Water is one of the simplest health aids we have.  It helps to hydrate every cell in our bodies so they can function properly, helps with all our detoxification processes, is the no 1 deterrent for constipation, helps our brains function at a higher level and keeps our skin gorgeous.
 
What are 3 things your grandmother used to do that thinking back now showed more wisdom than some of our modern choices?
