I get it, it’s NOT sexy. You’d rather have some exotic superfruit, ancient spice, or Amazonian plant, but there is no other nutrient more important to focus on each day than FIBER. Weight loss, diabetes, heart health, cancer, you name it, eating more Fiber has shown to SIGNIFICANTLY improve your health in all these areas. […]
It’s easy to see the results of exercise on your hips, stomach…and biceps. But what’s less visible, but even more important, is the huge influence it has on your brain. The structure of the brain, how it functions, the repair, the growth, how it adapts to stress are all enhanced by physical exercise. Finishing a […]
It’s all the rage, from celebrities to internet fitness guru’s, juice your way out of illness or into those skinny jeans (does anyone wear those anymore?!?). Seems logical, take the two most powerful food groups, fruits and vegetables (the latter most people don’t like to eat), and squeeze them into a palatable tasting glass or […]
Seems like if there is one truth in all nutritional science and mothers-around-the-world advice, it’s; eat your fruits and vegetables. However, some people hear, “you can choose, fruits and vegetables are the same”…ahh, they are not. Fruits have a LOT more sugar than veggies. And we all know that too much sugar is bad for […]
National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, Clark & Cousin Eddie, a moose cup filled with eggnog, and turtlenecks, ahh it’s Christmas! Eggnog is a bit “iffy” though. Sure, my parents would make it without the alcohol, but it just seemed so wrong, raw eggs, yolks, what else is even in there?! But when you really “sip” into […]
Eat Within A Window…Then Close It! I first read about Intermittent Fasting (IF) in the book, The Circadian Code, written by Dr. Sachin Panda. Deeply rooted in Eastern philosophies of medicine, especially Ayurveda, the concept is quite simple. IF involves eating within certain time periods and allowing your body and systems a true rest between […]
Hearty, Healthy, and Whole! From “The Grain Brain” to the low-carb craze, there is definitely a movement to push grains off our plates. But I’d be careful before doing so. Grains have their healthy place in all our diets. They’re rich in fiber, protein, and a whole host of nutrients like Iron, B Vitamins, Copper, […]
If you’re not NUTZ about nuts, you should be! Nuts are one of my absolute go-to snacks. Nuts are added to all sorts of foods, from cereals to desserts. Filled with healthy fats, protein, minerals, and antioxidants, you just can’t go wrong with this bite size treat. Now, although you may not be able to […]
Your Internal Weight Thermometer I’ve always said, “your body starts as a simple machine, you then teach it how to function”. 80% of individuals that lose 10% or more of their bodyweight, end up gaining 125% of it back. We always hear about the lack of willpower, not being able to keep up with the […]
The Absolute Essential Fatty Acid! Most people have no idea that Omega-3 Fatty Acids are the most important nutrient needed to build your brain, nerves, and every one of your cells…and you can’t make it yourself! That’s why it’s called “essential”, it’s essential you consume it from food sources. But as a society, we are […]
