Healthy smoothies with cocoa powder ... ...what is your opinion of them? Does your opinion of whether or not something is healthy influence the way it tastes? For me... ...I still remember my first green smoothie. As you know, they look like thick liquid lettuce. Right away, our brain prepares us for what it’ll taste like. I said to myself... self... “This is going to be awful.” And that first sip really was. However, the second wasn’t...

What’s the most off-putting health habit you’ve ever heard of? From cryotherapy to charcoal-infused everything, we’ve all come across some alleged wellness miracle that we’d rather not partake in.

Being obese is one of the leading causes of heart disease! Obesity is defined as a body mass index of 30 or more. Some people may think that being overweight doesn't matter because they are not technically obese, but it does have an effect on heart health. People who are overweight are 50 percent more likely to have high blood pressure or to have high blood sugar, which can lead to diabetes. Obesity is also a big risk factor for high...
Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought... ...“What happened?” I know I have! Whether it’s my busy schedule, poor sleep, or a certain time of year, bad skin days will happen. We’re also well aware that the bright, bouncy, elastic skin of our youth is here for a limited time only. And then it hit me… It’s a little shocking when time actually begins to catch up with us. Maybe the skin looks drier, dull, and uneven in tone. So...
Fructose the bad, the good and the best nutrition secrets. How many health truisms do you hear on a weekly basis? Drink lots of water. Abs are made in the kitchen. You are what you eat.

Wake up at 6:00. Breakfast, chores, and out the door by 8:00. Work 9:00 to 5:00. Drive home and pick up food by 6:00. Collapse in front of the TV at 7:00. Berate yourself for not going to the gym again at 9:00. Bed by 11:00. Rinse and repeat. With a schedule like this one, it’s no wonder we don’t have the energy to drag ourselves to the gym. After spending the day taking care of others and putting out fires, we’re depleted and need to rest and...
Have you ever tried to induce a state called ketosis? “uh, what?” Let me explain the... Negatives of ketogenic diet. Ketosis can happen whether we work for it or not. The keto diet is insanely effective... Is it a good fit for you? Should you do it? When we don’t eat enough carbohydrates, our body looks for fat to use as energy.

Have you ever heard of kefir? Do you know how much kefir to drink for weight loss? If you’ve been following me for a while, you must have. Almost every time we discuss probiotic foods, kefir gets a mention. Not quite yogurt, not quite milk, kefir is usually a dairy product that contains gut-healthy bacteria.

It also includes lots of ripe, vitamin-packed tomatoes as a foundation. Today... ...we’re going to...
