Are those “ants” (raisins) marching over a health cliff.. When I think of celery, I think of smeared peanut butter topped off with a row of raisins, the sidekick to buffalo wings (btw-how the heck, did that ever start??), and chicken salad. What I don’t think of is..a cure for Autoimmune Diseases, Acne, Chronic Fatigue, […]
Miracle Magnesium… Without Magnesium, 300 biochemical switches don’t get turned on. Yikes! From nerve function, muscle contraction, immune system defense, strong bones, keeping your heartbeat steady…and if that wasn’t enough, it adjusts the sugar levels in your blood so you don’t destroy your blood vessels after a can of Coke! You might have used magnesium […]
Get Collagen Crazy From the Greek word for “glue”, Collagen certainly lives up to its name. Making up over 30% of all the protein in the body, it can be found everyone from our skin to our cells. But as we age, we begin to not only break down the Collagen we have, but we […]
My mom loved to cook with Canola Oil.. My mom, as most Indians, love to cook with Canola Oil. When I would tell her that it was unhealthy (very gently), she’d point to the “vegetable” in vegetable oil and tell me to get out of her kitchen. There is just something disarming about words like […]
Spoiler Alert: Apple Cider Vinegar doesn’t taste like Apples! Whether it’s grassy smoothies, chalky proteins, or bitter teas, it seems the more unpleasant tasting a “health craze” is, the more people want to do it! Taking a shot of sour, “spoiled” Apple Cider Vinegar is one trend that seems to have fallen right in-line. The […]
“Diet drinks are associated with weight gain, new research suggests” – Washington Post Whaaat? Wait, I thought all those 0 Calorie, No Sugar, guilt free seltzers, sodas, and vitamin waters I was guzzling down were keeping me shapely in my skinny jeans? (kidding, I could never get those skinny jeans past my ankles). No calorie […]
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 […]
