Not Read Only Memory…..we’re talking Range Of Motion. And whatever yours is, you could always improve it. Exercising your ROM improves circulation, increases your flexibility, and reduces joint and muscle pain and moves your muscles. So circle, stretch, flex and move those joints!
Sorry, no glue cans here. We’re talking beta-glucans: a type of fiber found in baker’s yeast, mushrooms and many whole grains, like oats. Beta-glucans help to regulate the immune system and stimulate white blood cell production, playing a powerful role in your body’s protection against illnesses including cancer and infections.
No wonder you’ve been craving organic oatmeal cookies!
Not a misspelling of Marijuana, Marjaryasana is yoga-ese for Cat Pose, which stretches and soothes the lower back. One of the easiest and most effective yoga movements, simply get down on all fours, then slowly round and arch your back. Do this 10 times to feel loose and refreshed. And don’t forget to breathe!
Mushrooms, the heavenly fungi, are rich in the entire range of B vitamins as well as Vitamin D, and Fiber. They also provide several elusive minerals like selenium, potassium, copper, and iron.
Sautéed in butter, stuffed with cheese and baked, sliced thin into a salad…holy shitake, they are tasty!
Go for a walk! It’s healthier and lots cheaper than Starbucks.
What is it? Stevia Rebaudiana is a plant native to Paraguay. The plant’s leaves, when dried, are so sweet that one teaspoon has as much sugary satisfaction as a full cup of sugar. Pure Stevia has no calories, does not cause blood sugar spikes, has been used for centuries as a medicinal herb, and for the last 30 years as a popular food additive in Japan.
There are no known side affects to pure Stevia, but read your labels…much of what is being sold in US markets is not 100% Stevia. (like anything in a packet)
Go for pure Stevia powder or liquid and drop sparingly, as using too much Stevia can cause a bitter after taste.
It’s beautiful weather! You need to be out!! Go…now…outside….
One cup of broccoli has 4 grams of fiber, 20% of the daily recommended Vitamin A, 15% of B-6, 7% Magnesium, over 200% of your daily Vitamin C and is rich in minerals, antioxidants and phytonutrients (those super healthy but sneaky buggers that can’t be reproduced in pill form).
Stir fry, salad, chow mein, soup, slaw, alfredo, saute, roast, steam, dip….the uses for this super food are endless!
I think the title is pretty self explanatory.
Did I just catch you slouching in your chair? How many times do I have to send this post? 😉
