Your backyard looks great as always. I like the diversity of plant life you have. My wife has been drinking hibiscus tee for a while. We have five hibiscus plants (pink and yellow variety) growing in pots (she only uses the pink for her" beverage"). We however have to bring them indoors to an enclosed, heated porch here in the midwest US where we get heavy snow in winter. They flower at different times of the year. As for HBP, my mother had it throughout her life. She managed it with minimal medication and relied heavily on a strict diet. She eliminated most salt and sugar and greasy foods. She lived until 90 (passed away last year). We drink turmeric/ginger/cardamom tea instead of traditional black tea that has lots of caffeine ( I think Kenyans drink too much of this and the high processed sugar they add to it may be why we see the spiking health conditions we are witnessing in Kenya). I have seen in the literature an increase in cancer rates that are beginning to parallel the out-of-control rates here in the US. I think its mostly unhealthy lifestyles and bad processed foods with a big dose of preservatives. Jael, I noticed you are still jumping trying to reach the high flowers! Good for exercise but you may want to invest in an extended fruit picker. My basement here is full of all kinds of gadgets for gardening (some of them help a lot with reducing back pain and preventing any unwanted movements that could cause injury to our spine, nerves and muscles). A good back support belt also helps when gardening. Asante sana for educating people about nature. The best food huko nyumbani is what our parents grew up on. A good diet (as organic as possible) and exercise reduces the amount of medication needed, unless its a debilitating disease.

I've learnt a lot from this comment. Thank you so much for the advice, tips and health information. ❤️

I love hibiscus tea. Very expensive here in the USA. I boil with ginger and cinnamon in a large batch and keep in the refrigerator. I don’t like taking pharmaceutical drugs as well. Thank God at 70 years old I do not need any daily medication except my vitamins and exercise. Blessings Jael and happy you are well. My main meal of the day is around 2-3pm my local time, but I drink a number of cups of tea throughout the day. One Love ❤

Thanks very much for this tip on Hybiscus. I did not know about it! Also, Garlic is great for HBP, Cholesterol, stomach/gut health, and (in the tropics) keeping mosquitos away/from biting one (hence no malaria). Swallow a clove or cut it into pieces the size of a tablet (DO NOT CHEW) every day. You may smell the garlic when you go to the bathroom (#2) but nobody has to be in there with you so no big deal!

I just saw the video (from a year ago) where you say termites are eaten with other food. In California, termites are considered a nuisance as they destroy the wooden frame of a house. If left untreated a person will have no house. People have their homes inspected annually and if any termites are found, a pesticide is used to eradicate them.
