A UNIQUE INDIAN PUDDING DISH TO WOW YOUR FRIENDS

This Indian pudding recipe is packed full of nutrients and healthy spices.  Sweet potatoes are a main character in this recipe and sweet potatoes are commonly eaten in many blue zones across the planet- where people live the longest and eat the healthiest. Sweet potatoes contain high levels of vitamin B6 and beta-carotene, an anti-oxidant linked to improved cognitive function later in life.  They are not just one of the healthiest and cheapest sources of nutrition; the predominant protein is a type of protease-inhibitor that may have cancer-fighting properties as well. Cardamom, another ingredient in this recipe, regulates digestion, detoxifies, is good for oral health (improves breath), combats cold & flu, controls blood clots, is an anti-oxidant and anti-pathogen, and is anti-inflammatory.  There are other ingredients in this dish that also have a list of health benefits, so be sure to read the notes section in the recipe below.

    A QUICK, EASY way to connect with you NOW.

    Because studies show that a web lead like me will only hang out a few seconds – 7 out of 10 disappear almost instantly, Surf Surf Surf… then gone forever.

    I have the solution:

    Plus, now that you’ve got that phone number, with our new SMS Text With Lead feature, you can automatically start a text (SMS) conversation pronto… which is so powerful, because connecting with someone within the first 5 minutes is 100 times more effective than waiting 30 minutes or more later.

    The new text messaging feature lets you follow up regularly with new offers, content links, even just follow up notes to build a relationship.

    Everything I’ve just described is extremely simple to implement, cost-effective, and profitable.

  • Hi, Eric here with a quick thought about your website unchainedtv.com…

    I’m on the internet a lot and I look at a lot of business websites.

    Like yours, many of them have great content.

    But all too often, they come up short when it comes to engaging and connecting with anyone who visits.

    I get it – it’s hard. Studies show 7 out of 10 people who land on a site, abandon it in moments without leaving even a trace. You got the eyeball, but nothing else.

    Here’s a solution for you…

    Talk With Web Visitor is a software widget that’s works on your site, ready to capture any visitor’s Name, Email address and Phone Number. You’ll know immediately they’re interested and you can call them directly to talk with them literally while they’re still on the web looking at your site.

    Plus, with text messaging you can follow up later with new offers, content links, even just follow up notes to keep the conversation going.

    Everything I’ve just described is extremely simple to implement, cost-effective, and profitable.
