My Top 9 Superfoods For Looking Good, Feeling Great & Losing Weight What’s so amazing about the leafys is that calorie for calorie, they deliver more nutrients than just about any other food on the planet. Loaded with fiber, vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals, leafy greens stock your body with the artillery needed to fight off potential killers like heart disease and cancer. Simply put: leafys benefit virtually every cell you’ve got! My favorite leafy greens are kale, spinach, Swiss chard, mustard, and dandelion greens because they’re nutritious AND delicious. You can toss them into virtually anything to boost nutrition, but be sure to give them a good rinse first. For an easy added boost, try greens powder in your smoothies.
Baobab-Fruchtpulver, 150 g, Rohkostqualität und Bio, Herkunft: Senegal - PureRaw Bio Baobab Fruchtpulver Der sagenumwobene Baobab ist Afrikas Lebensbaum und Mythos zu gleich und bietet neben seinem fruchtig-herben, leicht süß-säuerlichen Geschmack viele weitere Vorteile. Das bereits am Baum in der harten Fruchtschale getrocknete reife Fruchtfleisch wird traditionell händisch von den Kernen getrennt. Die Frucht des Baobabbaumes, welcher auch Affenbrotbaum genannt wird, hat einen hohen Nährstoffgehalt und enthält viele Vitamine, Mineralien und Ballaststoffe. Beachtlich ist der Vitamin-C-Gehalt (mit 300mg/100g etwa sechsmal höher als in der Orange), wodurch auch eine beträchtliche antioxidative Wirkung entsteht. Interessant sind ebenfalls die Mineralstoffwerte. 100g Baobabpulpe enthalten ~290mg Calcium, 2,3mg Kalium und 100mg Phosphor. Baobab Pulver findet Verwendung in Smoothies, Wasser, Säften, Dressings, Eiscremes, ect. gemischt, oder auch zum Verfeiern von Desserts oder Gebäck.

19 Things That Can Help Us Feel Better When We’re Sick We’re smack in the middle of cold and flu season right now. Our workplaces resound with the honks of blowing noses. Try to go to a movie and all you’ll be able to hear is coughing—and if you have kids, they’ve brought home at least four colds and probably a stomach virus by now. Unfortunately, none of us are totally immune and even the healthiest among us will sometimes get sick. When we get sick, we’re all told a bunch of ridiculous remedies that are sworn to make us better immediately. They won’t. My doctor says that with medication it takes seven days to cure the common cold and without it, it’ll take a week to get better. Remember, I’m not a medical professional, so always check with your doctor if you’re not sure if something is safe or right for you. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19.

Want Glowing Skin In 3 Weeks? Start With Your Digestion If you're working toward more radiant and glowing skin, you might be surprised to know that the answer lies more in your digestive tract rather than on how much you're spending on creams and cleansers. If we look a bit closer at how our digestive system works, it begins to make a lot of sense. Among other functions, our digestive system is the main place where we absorb beauty nutrients from our foods, as well as the main place where we dispel toxins through elimination. If the digestive system isn't working optimally, breakouts, eczema, redness and dull skin can ensue. When the digestive system struggles to eliminate toxins effectively, it will partner up with other organs and eliminate toxins that way. What Causes Poor Digestion? Suboptimal digestion is quite common today, and is caused by numerous factors including: Top 6 Digestion Boosters for Beautiful Skin Great skin can do wonders for your confidence and pocket book (think, no more acne treatments and expensive cover-ups)! 1. 2. 3.
3 Steps To Recover After Getting Glutened If you are gluten intolerant or have celiac disease you know all too well about accidentally ingesting gluten — otherwise known as getting “glutened.” The outward manifestation of getting glutened may be different for everyone, and can cause a variety of symptoms such as brain fog, diarrhea, constipation, headache, rash, weakness, joint pain, swelling, vomiting, and fatigue. However, inside your gut the effects are essentially the same; gluten is wreaking havoc. Gluten is perceived as a toxin that causes inflammation and damage to the intestines. Ridding yourself of this toxin, reducing inflammation and healing your gut from the damage are essential to recovering as quickly as possible. 3 Steps To Recover After Getting Glutened 1. The three tips below will help you do that promptly and effectively. Digestive Enzymes. Binding agents. Hydration. 2. Inflammation occurs naturally in our body when there has been an insult or injury to it. Omega-3 fatty acids. 3. Probiotics. L-Glutamine.

Decoding Food Expiration Dates - The Savings Experiment The truth is, there are no hard and fast rules when it comes to food expiration dates. Before you clean out the fridge, find out how long you can keep certain products before they actually go bad. Think twice before you clean out your fridge. "Sell by" and "best by" dates are vague indicators of when quality and taste decline, so you can actually keep certain products for longer before they go bad. While most food items have expiration dates printed on them, the U.S. has no uniform system for coding dates, so it's really up to consumers to make the call on perishable items. That means you decide whether something has spoiled or not. If you still need some guidelines on when to toss things in the trash, here are some general rules of thumb. As far as dairy goes, you can keep milk for five days past its "best by" date, and yogurt for 7-10 days past its listed expiration date. When in doubt, trust your nose.
48 Foods To Balance Your Hormones & Give You Glowing Skin Who doesn't want a rocking reproductive system, balanced hormones, and glowing skin? I know I do, and eating certain nutrient dense foods will put anyone on this path. Whether we like it or not, hormones control our mood, digestion, energy, libido, metabolism, and how our skin looks. If we don't eat foods with the nutrients we need, our body cannot produce hormones correctly or maintain hormonal balance because it doesn't have the building blocks to do so. Whatever you're eating is either helping hormonal production, or causing unpredictable imbalances. The human body needs a balance of all three macronutrients, carbohydrates, protein, and especially fat. Fat is one of the most crucial elements for hormonal balance. Here's why: hormones are produced using certain fatty acids and cholesterol, so if we're missing these nutrients, hormone problems arise simply because the body doesn't have the nutrients it needs to make them. How to eat for hormonal balance 1. 2. 3. 4.
11 Easy Ways To Meditate (Even If It Seems Impossible) When I recommend meditation to my stressed-out clients, they often open their eyes wide and scrunch up their nose. “You mean, sit for an hour and think about nothing? I don’t think I can.” I understand. But in reality, meditation can be a much broader practice. For beginners, and even for folks who are used to having a spiritual practice, I always recommend meditations of simple mindfulness rather than a classic seated meditation. When you begin to add more mindfulness into your life—when you stop and smell the roses, so to speak—you'll find that the stress of the future and the regrets of the past simply melt away. The trick is to do one thing a day with absolute mindfulness. Here are 11 of my favorite things to do mindfully: 1. Try to hear every instrument in the band. 2. I imagine that, like me, you drink something every morning. 3. The practice alone will bring about a beautiful sense of presence in your life. 4. Your morning commute can be spent in absolute mindfulness. 5. A slow one.
