Inflammation: A Sneaky Culprit Destroying Your Health.

Image
If you want to eat for long-term health, lowering inflammation is crucial. Inflammation in the body causes or contributes to many debilitating, chronic illnesses — including osteoarthritis , rheumatoid arthritis , heartdisease , Alzheimer’s disease , Parkinson’s disease , and even cancer . Recent research finds that eating this way not only helps protect against certain diseases , but it also slows the aging process by stabilizing blood sugar and increasing metabolism. Plus, although the goal is to optimize health, many people find they also lose weight by following an anti-inflammatory eating pattern. What is inflammation? Let’s clear the air: Inflammation is a totally normal bodily function. It is generally triggered by the immune system when it recognizes an invader or damage to tissue that must be kept under control. The immune system stimulates different cells and proteins—like white blood cells—to help eliminate the threat of an outside invader and ...

Infuse Your Water.

Image
Its almost summer and temperatures are already rising. It super important to stay hydrated while out in the heat and excessive sweating.  Two comments I hear a lot with all the water recommendations that I make are: Water is so boring, Can I make it taste better? and All I drink is water, I need to mix it up. The answer: Infuse your water.  What does that mean? You can add fruit, leaves or essential oils - individually or combined - to your water. I personally love using essential oils in my water: lemon, peppermint, orange or citrus. It add a big kick and has a lot of alkalizing benefits. Mint leaves leave a bold taste the longer they sit & look pretty if you have a big clear bottle (definitely a conversation starter and makes you look like you know something). Fruit with big tastes offer a great light taste - lemon, orange, grapefruit, cucumber And I'll be completely honest don't expect a POW of flavor on that first sip, it mostly leaves a ...
