Cinnamon is thought to have many medicinal and soothing properties, and is used frequently
in Chinese herbal medicine.

3.Lowers blood sugar and risk of type-2 diabetes - Cinnamon has a reputation for helping
manage blood sugar. It appears to do this by a number of different mechanisms.

The Hibiscus Flower

Hibiscus has a long history of use as a medicinal herb and it is believed to be effective in the
treatment of various health conditions like appetite loss, common cold, upper respiratory
tract pain and swelling, stomach irritation, and heart and nerve disorders among others.

Cure for Hypertension: Hibiscus tea has often been recommended as a cure for hypertension or high blood
pressure, and this is one claim that has been validated by not one, but several studies. In some studies, it was
clearly shown that the daily intake of hibiscus tea had a similar effect to medications for hypertension. One
of these studies revealed that there was a marked improvement in hypertensive patients who were
administered hibiscus tea as opposed to among those given a placebo.The hibiscus is a member of the
mallow family which has nearly 300 species including trees, shrubs, perennials and annuals. They are native
to warmer, tropical regions.In our northern climate, Hibiscus rosa-sinensis is the species most commonly
available through nurseries, garden centers and florists. Hibiscus are bred specifically for flower size and
color.The beautiful, exotic-looking flowers are short-lived, typically blooming for only one day. Once
finished blooming, the flower will close up and drop off. There is also a shell-like structure supporting the
flower. This too withers and drops a few days after the flower fades. Hibiscus make great house plants and
are also wonderful additions to a summer garden. They are not winter hardy, and therefore must be brought

in before the first fall frost. Hibiscus are easy plants to grow and should pose few problems if their needs are
met.

THE CASHEW FRUIT AND NUT

CASHEW FRUIT

CASHEWS ARE HIGH IN PROANTHOCYANINS, A TYPE OF FLAVONOL THAT INHIBITS CANCER
CELL REPRODUCTION.

BACTERIAL INFECTIONS BY ENHANCING THE IMMUNE SYSTEM'S STRENGTH.

3-PREVENTS ANEMIA

EXCELLENT SOURCE OF HEALTHFUL FATS. THESE NUTS ARE A GOOD SOURCE OF PROTEIN

 ⊙Summary⊙
We conclude that producing this portfolio improved
our understanding of the novel. By creating this
portfolio, we used the description of Mr. Gidharee's
dogs that was in the book, and used it to create
illustrations that gave us a better understanding of
imagery and figurative language used in the book.
Our portfolio reflected what we learned and showed
us how to evaluate, and separate important
information.
