A 2-Minute Exercise That Will Change Your Life & Help You Lose Weight Did you know that you can visualize your way to health? Even success? I know that may sound woo-woo, but hang on. For sure, getting the health you want requires making conscientious choices—but once you know how, that stuff becomes second nature and doesn’t feel like work. Too often though, women don’t even get started, or they quit before they’ve gotten very far, because they don’t believe that they can have the body or health they desire. Here are some of the common statements I hear when patients first come to me: I’m so fat. Sound familiar? These defeatist thoughts are uber-common and set us up to fail. Make SHIfT happen: Visualize success! Most of us were taught that health was either something we had or didn’t have—maybe it’s just in our genes, for example—and we certainly weren’t taught it's something we can control! But have you ever considered that there is another way to think about—and create—health? And it’s not just the big boys who've got this mastered! 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

Creamy Basil Sauce (with Kefir) - Recipe Redux - Fresh Food Perspectives This is my second month participating in the Recipe Redux - a network of blogging RD's that create a healthy recipe every month based on a challenge/theme. This month's challenge was to create a recipe using a fermented food (sauerkraut, miso, yogurt, preserved lemons, sourdough bread, etc.) Fermentation is an ancient process that has been found to actually increase the nutrient content of some foods. While I have not tried any fermenting of my own, I eat one particular fermented food daily - Kefir milk. Kefir is a cultured milk that is similar to a drinking yogurt in taste and texture. Kefir possesses a wide array of healthy bacteria that may help prevent inflammation, improve gastric function, and even prevent cancer. I've always wanted to find another creative way, like a sauce, to incorporate kefir into my eating. The recipe below is just for the sauce, which can also be used as a salad dressing or dip for all kinds of things. Creamy Basil Sauce 1 cup Low-fat plain Kefir milk
