 Buckwheat is best source of high-quality, easily digestible proteins and is close to being a "complete" protein. Add this hearty fruit to your meals as a way to keep off the pounds while eating healthy. High protein buckwheat flour is being studied for possible use in foods to reduce plasma cholesterol, body fat, and cholesterol gallstones. Buckwheat starch can also act as a fat alternative in processed foods. Buckwheat is a very good source of manganese and a good source of copper, dietary fiber, and phosphorus. Buckwheat contains two flavonoids with significant health-promoting actions: rutin and quercitin.

The Power of Words
 Words
captivate and control the human emotions. They anger us,
they make us rejoice, they make us cry, and they make us
hope. We're constantly judging our happiness based on
the words given from someone.
Words not used in the correct way bring wreck, havoc,
and disharmony to those whom the words are fired
towards. However, one good, edifying word brings joy and
hope to those who need it most. The ways words are said
reveal the condition of the heart and the status of the
circumstance. When used correctly, words have the power
to change the world. Words are attached to the soul;
they are a member of us. The word goes from the page and
infuses into our inmost being.
If you want to change your life and destiny, consciously
choose the words to describe your emotional state.
