Ripe, red and round, I bite deeply. Juice runs down my chin and within the core of this plump, luscious orb, I taste sunshine. Mawmaw is waiting for the green beans I am to pick for lunch, but she knows that my duties in the garden will take a little longer than expected. I am a forager, a nibbler, a taster of bounty. I bite again and my mouth is filled with glorious, sweet, warm fruit.

"Youngin' you eat more 'an you pick!" she cries, smiling and shaking her head.

I choose a few extras and place them in my basket. They are warm and bursting, fat and juicy. Mawmaw will slice them and put them on a platter and we will feast upon large, meaty Beefsteak, sweet golden streaked German Stripe, beautiful, delicious, creamy Golden Yellow; slices so large, they fill a plate.

We sit and join hands. Pawpaw says the blessing, gives me a wink and passes a plate filled with golden fried circles. I question with raised eyebrows and dig in. Fried green tomatoes, prepared as a surprise. I crunch into warm juice-filled ambrosia. They fill my mouth with the taste of green, of red, of fresh air. They are a little bitter at first bite, but sweetness comes through as tongue and palate work in harmony to wrest from each morsel every nuance of taste: corn meal, salt, pepper, un-ripened tomato, bacon fat. I close my eyes and eat more slowly - savoring.

Evening approaches. I have picked corn for the evening meal of fried chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, leftover ham, biscuits and jam, and platters piled high with vine-ripened tomatoes. We sit in the metal rockers beneath the ancient oak tree and shuck the corn. I like these times of intimacy. Mawmaw talks about food and its preparation. I listen with rapt attention. Soon dinner will be ready.

I pass on this legacy to my husband and son with "Mama Spaghetti" made with my own tomato sauce: slightly spicy and rich, hearty, neither sweet nor bitter; flavors of oregano, basil, garlic and wine, or a lighter sauce, which my son prefers during the week, with diced tomatoes, rosemary, garlic, onion and olive oil.

Today tomatoes remind me of summer, of sunshine, of creaking metal rockers rusting on a leaf dappled yard. The squeak, squeak, squeak of the chair as Mawmaw takes her only ease of the day...preparing vegetables and sipping iced tea. They remind me of hot summer days in the garden, surrounded by the smell of green, the promise of large platters of delectable fruit, joined hands around the kitchen table -- repletion -- redemption.

Rule of Mixing Juices

The following broad rules apply when using mixtures of juices:

1. Juices from sweet fruits may be combined with juices of sub-acid fruits, but not with those of acid fruits, vegetable fruits or vegetables.

2. Juices from sub-acid fruits may be combined with juices of sweet fruits, or acid fruits, but not with other juices.

3. Juices from acid fruits may be combined with those of sub-acid fruits or vegetable fruits, but not with other juices.

4. Juices from vegetable fruits may be combined with those of acid fruits or of green leafy vegetables, but not with other juices.

5. Juices from green leafy vegetables may be combined with those of vegetable fruits or of the root vegetable, but not with other juices.

6. Juices from root vegetables may be combined with those of green leafy vegetables, but not with other juices.

A proper selection of juices in treating a particular ailment is very essential. Thus, for instance, juices of carrot, cucumber, cabbage, and other vegetables are very valuable in asthma, arthritis and skin disease, but juices of orange and mosambi aggravate their symptoms by increasing the amount of mucus.

How Important Are B Vitamins?

One of the most important vitamin complexes that one can ingest is the B vitamins. Our bodies need all eight of them in order to maintain health. One of the best ways to get these vitamins is by eating a healthy diet. Sometimes, though, taking extra multi vitamins is a good way to get them all. A good way to find out all one can about the B vitamin complex is to do a little research on the internet.

The B vitamin complex is responsible for many aspects of bodily functions. These ones are responsible for the breakdown of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Some function to provide energy for the body and to keep the nervous system running smoothly. Others are responsible for the maintenance of healthy skin, nerves and the intestinal tract. And B 12 helps to make blood cells in our body. The group works together to deliver a number of health benefits.

If you think that you are not getting an adequate, daily supply of the B vitamins, then supplements are a very good idea to maintain good health. A great website to investigate this complex group of vitamins and others too, is Evitamins. User reviews are posted, as well as a detailed explanation of what each supplement does for the body. The prices are reasonable, and the shipping can be quick if one is willing to pay the price.

All of the B vitamins will help to keep the body healthy and happy, but sometimes a healthy diet is not enough. Because of their importance, if a person does not eat healthy foods then a supplement may be needed. In order for a person to learn about this complex group and, if necessary, the right supplements to buy, then a quick Google search will provide plenty of food for thought.

If you've been keeping up with the latest in health news, you may have seen a few articles reporting that watermelon is more nutritious when served at room temperature. Personally, I prefer my watermelon ice cold, so I was a bit dismayed when I heard about this. After all, that's one of the joys of these sweltering summer days...a juicy, deep red, icy cold slice of my favorite fruit. The thought of eating watermelon at room temperature is well...a little less than appetizing.

I did a little sleuthing by taking a look at the study behind these headlines. Turns out that watermelons continue to produce more lycopene and beta-carotene even after they are picked, as long as they are stored at room temperature. Lycopene, as you may know, is a powerful anti-oxidant that gives watermelon (and tomatoes) that beautiful red color and also plays a role in preventing heart disease as well as some cancers. Beta-carotene is converted by the body into Vitamin A.

The study, completed by U.S. Department of Agriculture scientists and published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, showed that whole watermelons, when stored at 70 degrees, had substantially more of these nutrients than melons that had been freshly picked or that had been stored at cooler temperatures.

When compared to freshly picked melons, whole watermelons that had been stored at 70 degrees (the temperature of an air-conditioned building) for 14 days, gained up to 40 percent more lycopene and a whopping 50 percent more beta-carotene.

Watermelon is a great summer food. True to its name, this favorite summer fruit is 92% water and two cups (a 1-inch half moon slice) contain only 80 calories. Watermelon is also loaded with potassium and is very low in sodium. Of course, watermelon contains no cholesterol or fat.

Tip from your Wellness Coach: Go ahead and enjoy your watermelon ice cold! Store whole watermelons up to 2 weeks at room temperature, rather than your refrigerator, before eating. Chill just prior to serving, so you don't lose out on any of those great nutrients watermelon has to offer. Look for watermelons that are free of damage (cuts, bruises, cracks or dents). The yellow, flat place on one side of the melon is perfectly normal, as this was the part of the melon that had contact with the ground as the melon was ripening on the vine. Rinse the melon well before cutting, as your knife could drag dirt and germs into the fruit.

Happy eating!
