Welcome to The Florida Tropical Sizzling Environment.Now learn how to eat to ward off the heat ,using “COOLANT “locally grown fruits and vegetables.

Talking about locally grown lends us to mention growing your own Tropical food at your back-front yard or even in containers if you do not have access to land.

Why to eat and grow locally grown food?Simply speaking:Your body –mind and spirit are partners with the UNIVERSE and Mother Earth .In other words ,your outside environment channels both food for thought(MIND) and food for stomach(BODY)to help you maintain INNER HARMONY or HOMEOSTASIS!

To start with some cooling tropical food , OKRA is the QUEEN.

OKRA is a SOUTHERN TRADITIONAL DISH.It grows in the sizzling hot tropical climates of the deep south and the Caribbean .Most people who are not native to Florida are unaware of this Mother Earth favorite Colon cleanser –peristalises agent -and colon Coolant!Says who? Ancient Egyptian/Ayuervedic / and Traditional Chinese Chefs.Okra: Try it once and you will love it forever!

Okra has a draw back as it drives away people who do not like its slimy nature.To overcome this slimy feature here is a solution:Steam it up!
