Hot right now are grapes, avocados, pineapples, limes, easy peel citrus.
Frozen grapes - I’ve been anxiously waiting for winter to pass to try this, quite summery food. I think this will make an excellent snack this spring/summer: toss your grapes in the freezer and eat them once they are frozen.
Avocados - not just temporarily hot… I eat all year round. Mainly in sandwiches or salads. They are yum and full of nutritional goodness.
Pineapples - I love em’. One of the healthiest foods you can eat. Try them as a salsa or make a Pizza “Hawaii”.
Limes - supposedly fantastic for detoxifying the body. I have yet to try them and I’m really curious.
Easy peel citrus - makes a great snack but too much of those make me sick.

It’s kind of pathetic really that it takes a celebrity to bring this proven treatment back into the media spotlight: I’m talking about the little slimy, blood suckers… the leeches.
Demi Moore has recently revealed that she has received the alternative therapy as part of a detox plan.
Truth is, this is nothing new. Leeches has been used in medicine for centuries and also in plastic and reconstructive surgery nowadays.
What makes these blood sucking creatures special is their anticoagulant which helps restore blood flow and fights blood clots. Also when they suck on a person’s blood, they apparently release a detoxifying enzyme.
Whether or not leeches are great for detoxifying your body remains unclear. I couldn’t really find any scientific evidence that supports alternative therapies such as the treatment Demi Moore received. One thing is clear though, medical leeches are rather useful on certain kind of procedures.
