I cannot stand the flavor of cooked spinach. But raw, it’s surprisingly without taste. Which makes it a perfect addition to smoothies. It’s a great way to get in those morning veggies, along with heaping doses of Vitamins A, C, & K, Magnesium, Iron and the full complement of B Vitamins, just to name a few.
And the best part? No one, not even your kids or your spouse, will know it’s there…
No, it’s not a decorating technique. It’s an abdominal workout. And it’s amazingly simple.
See? Easy, right? You’re gonna feel it tomorrow, but for now just bask in the euphoric afterglow…
One simple thing you can do to improve your overall health right now is to throw away that table salt. Whatever you use, Mortons, Real, Diamond, do your body a favor and toss them right now.
Am I suggesting you give up salt? Absolutely not. The minerals in real salt are essential to good health. I’m suggesting you ditch the “almost” salt. Because it’s the “almost” part that will kill ya.
When shopping for salt, instead of looking for brands, look for regions: Himalayan, Celtic Sea, Mediterranean, French. They’re all tasty, and they’re all high in minerals.
My favorite source? The San Fransisco Salt Co. (as a reminder, this is not a paid ad, they just happen to sell stuff I love!)
It’s difficult not to think of this day as the anniversary of that unthinkable attack on the U.S. But this is also the anniversary of my parents, married 53 years ago. So, today, I’m going to humbly acknowledge the past, then choose to focus on the good. Happy anniversary Mom and Dad! With love from your favorite daughter.
Enough said?
You can strive for it. But it doesn’t actually exist. Wouldn’t it be more productive (and more fun) to focus on things that do exist? Just sayin’.
Take (or steal) a spare moment to connect to the energy of the Earth. Here’s how…
Admit it…don’t you feel refreshed? The Earth’s energy will do that.
…to breathe today.
It must be called that for a reason. Get outside, take a day of rest, and enjoy the sun!!
Today I’m adding a new category to A Healthy Dose. In the spirit of Julie Andrews, when the moment strikes, I will regale you with a few of my favorite things.
I want to assure you that these are not paid endorsements. I’m far to opinionated for that. These are products I actually love and use on a regular basis.
So, let’s talk about garlic. Organic garlic powder is easy, but there is just something about the real deal. The aroma, the healthy properties, the unmistakeable mouth feel and, of course, the flavor.
One thing I love is my garlic press. Many moons ago I bought an expensive one at a kitchen party, and I gotta admit, it’s lasted me for years. But you can find them anywhere. No need to peel your garlic, just pry a clove off the head, stuff it inside, clamp that baby shut, and voila! Beautifully minced garlic that falls right into the pan (or melted butter, or popcorn, or bloody mary).
Yum. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water!
