How to eat whatever you want and still lose weight Eat 1 high calorie meal and teh rest lower calorie meals Next day Principle How much you eat not what you eat Curb off hunger/ mental hunger by eating protein Alternative to rice Drink water to stay full Find out your tdee Don't undereat Create a sustainable eating plan Somedays you need more food, somedays less Gradually lower instead of going cold turkey Eat yummy alternatives if you have a sweet tooth Eat Frequently Exercise isn't necessary How to be Healthy Tips on going to the gym

You can eat whatever you want If you were like me, a really hard part of dieting is fighting off those cravings of eating all of those delicious food. That donut, it looks so delicious! But you're in luck because the truth is you can still eat junk food and lose weight. How? You just have to eat less of it. So for example a poutine serving contains 900 calories which is just insane. But if you eat only half of it today, it’s 400 calories, much more manageable and you can eat the other portion tomorrow.

What you could also do is eat a high calorie meal delicious like a burger and eat lower calorie meals that are still filling for the rest of the day, for example lentil stew only has like 300 calories and it will fill you up for a long time.

next day principle I also like the next day principle which is to instead of overeating today, I can just eat the delicious item tomorrow instead, tomorrow is just a day away.

How much you eat not what you eat. You can still eat junk food and still lose weight, you can eat whatever you want and still lose weight, what matters is how much you eat not what you eat. Weight loss is all about your tdee which is how much your body needs and burns each day to fuel its processes, on average it is around 2000 calories but everyone is different and finding your own tdee is very important. 

Health and weight loss are often paired together but I think it’s more helpful to have them be seperate. You don’t have to be focus on being healthy to lose weight and you can focus on being healthy without pursuing weight loss.

Q: I'm always hungry, but I ate so much. How do I curb it off?

A while ago, I used to eat but still feel mentally hungry. Like I had eaten more than enough and I’m not hungry anymore but I want to keep on eating, I don’t feel full and could eat more if I wanted. The solution to this problem is protein. Protein will satiate you and keep you full for a long time. I highly recommend adapting legumes such as beans and lentils in your lifestyle. This will help you sooo much in your weight loss journey. It’s honestly a miracle food group. They are packed with a ton of protein and contain lots of great nutrients like iron and magnesium. Meat is also great. Some really great and simple deshi recipes you can using lentils is daal and kitchuri. One is a lentil soup and the other is a better weight loss alternative for rice which is daal. 

Rice Alternative If you’re a rice addict like my parents—my parents tried dieting before but they couldn’t do it because if they went without rice, (which they ate for their entire lives, 50 years!) they would feel really tired and physically awful. If you’re like my parents I highly recommend kitchuri, it has a little bit of rice in it but it’s mostly lentils, and it tastes pretty much like rice instead of lentils. This is super great because rice has carbs and very little nutrition compared to lentils which has protein and lots of great nutrition. 

Drink water If you’re still not full even after you’ve eaten plenty, another tip is to drink a lot of water after you’re meal until you feel full. A lot of the times, you might think you’re hungry, but all you really need is to drink more water. 

Find out your tdee To figure out your tdee… I’d recommend seeing a dietician who provides this service. I really recommend finding your tdee instead of using an internet calculator because it can be very inaccurate and can hinder your weight loss goals. Like I tried an internet calculator and it turns out I was under eating thus not losing weight at all and I couldn’t sleep which also was a knife to my goal. Sleep is important because /webmd/.

Don't undereat If you undereat, you won’t lose weight. Never eat less than 500 calories of your tdee, and definitely never as low as 1200 calories. (Even if you’re short like me). It might seem counterintuitive but think of it this way. If you’re in a nationwide famine, what are you going to do? And you have very little food let’s say a few bags of rice. What are you going to do? Are you going to use up all your bags or rice as quickly as you can? Or are you going to eat very little and conserve to have enough to survive for the future days? Probably the 2nd option right? Well that’s exactly what happens when you don’t eat enough, you’re body thinks that there is a famine and that not enough food is available and so your body decides to conserve and keep your fat instead off burning it. Oof right? That’s why so many people will diet like 1000 calories and lose like 15lbs in a month but then rebound and gain all the weight back, and gain even more weight instead and you’re body will stall after a point and won’t lose anymore. So don’t let your inpatiency get in the way of your goal, losing weight eventually is better than not losing any weight at all. 

sustainable lifestyle diet The key to success for weight loss is enacting a sustainable lifestyle diet. One thing that you can reasonably keep up for a long time. So this has to be realistic, you can’t say you’re going to start cooking homecooked meals everyday when you have absolutely no time to do so, like I’m going to eat only salads everyday when you absolutely hate salads and can’t stand it. You have to creates changes to your diet (by diet I mean what your normally eat) that you can actually sustain, changes that are reasonable and realistic (this is not the time to be delusional and lie to yourself).

Also the other thing you can’t just go over your tdee after you’ve reached your goal weight. Because weight loss isn’t just a do it once and done. 

tdee will sometimes vary Also your tdee will sometimes vary because your body is organic. Somedays you will need to eat more, and somedays you will need to eat less. If you eat properly for a long time, respect your hunger and fullness cues. Remember that overeating just one day isn't what's going to make you gain weight, it's overeating for a long period of time. So it's okay if you feel a bit hungrier one day.

Alternative to going cold turkey Let’s say you drink 5 cups of coke a day. Dayum. And you want to stop. You can go cold turkey if you want but there is an easier way. Just cut back by a little each time. So maybe instead of drinking 5 colas, you drink only 4 for a while. Then after some more time only 3, and so on. This is a really great thing you can do for sugar consumption. Maybe you bake something and you use double the amount of sugar needed in the recipe because otherwise it’s just not sweet enough. So if you slowly start adding less and less sugar overtime. Your taste buds will stop being overloaded by sugar and will think that it’s quite sweet even though you used 1/3 of the sugar needed in the same recipe this time. 

Sweethtooth If you’re a snack addict, I’d advise to cut snacking. I was a junk food kid and I loved junk food, but it’s just so easy to pile and pile junk food in a single day without feeling full. And it’s so many calories for so little portions. This is reason for my weight gain in the first place. But the above tips will help, after all if you’re full you can’t eat snacks right? If you’re a diehard sweet tooth, there’s a lots of great alternative options such as high protein bites and low calorie options. Fitfoodieselma has a few and they really great. 

Eat Frequently How frequently you eat matters too, eat frequently instead of eating all your calories in a single sitting. Because if you eat all you’re calories at lunch, you won’t be able to lose weight. Eat around every 4 hours, every body is different so how long the eating intervals are will differ for everyone. As an example for me, I need to eat every 4 hrs and eat at least 200 calories. 

Exercise isn't necessary Also you really don’t need to exercise to lose weight at all. You lose very little calories exercising, like 200-300 cals in 30min-1hr of aerobic exercises. Eating 200 calories less is much much easier than running for 30 straight minutes. 

Those are all my dieting tips, now I'll talk about the gym and how to be healthy.

If you want to start being healthy, start small and then slowly build on it. Healthy can absolutely be delicious and I’d recommend to experiment and explore a lot of different recipes, there will surely be a recipe that you not only find nutritious but also delicious. 

Also try different fruits and veggies out, just because you don’t like one fruit doesn’t mean you don’t like any fruits. For example I really don’t like apples but I like bananas and mangoes. Same thing goes vegetables, I don’t like most vegetables but I like bell peppers and baby carrots with hummus. 

For gym or exercise, I’d recommend starting small. If gym takes way too much discipline, I’d recommend making a deal with yourself to simply go to the gym and do one simple short exercise like 1 rep of lat pulldowns. Since this is much more easy to do than doing a whole workout, you will get over the starting resistance you get from getting into the car and then going to the gym. Because sometimes simply getting into gym clothes, wearing shoes and getting into teh car and to the gym is the hardest part. Sometimes simply starting or showing up is the hardest part. And who knows maybe you might even get into and be able to do a full workout. I’ll make a post more on my weight lifting journey one day.

For non lifting weights exercise, try to find an exercise that you genuinely enjoy, there’s a bajillion out there. Such as dancing, canoeing, rollerskating, biking, hiking, scootering. They will seem much better than running on the boring treadmill for 30 minutes straight. What I used to do was rollerskate and it was just so much for fun than treadmilling and it burned a quack load of calories.

Sow…Let’s Grow: October 2024

The heady days of summer are long behind us at this stage, but the garden still finds ways to put on a show. As I walk to work, I see the last act of nasturtiums, dahlias, chamomile, anemones, cosmos and chrysanthemums giving a vibrant display of reds and yellows to compliment the falling leaves of autumn. Although the days are getting shorter and wetter, there is nothing that will deter a hardy gardener and there are still plenty of jobs to do in the garden. Here I have outlined four of them.

Collect seeds from hardy perennials, such as Astrantia, achillea and red valerian.

To collect seeds from Astrantia you will need: scissors and brown paper bags. Once the flowers have turned brown put the paper bag over the flower head to ensure no seeds are lost and snip the stem. Give it a good shake and all the seeds should fall to the bottom of the bag ready to be planted. Astrantia’s can be sown now as they need the cold of winter to germinate. Using seed trays, fill them with soil or potting compost and sprinkle the seeds on top and cover with vermiculite or horticultural grit and press down gently. The trays can then be overwintered and planted in the garden next spring. Alternatively, if you want to store these until next spring and plant them then, put them in the fridge a month before you intend to use them, and this should mimic the cold of winter.

Collect leaves for leaf mould or compost.

Rake up fallen leaves from lawns, borders, driveways and paths, and store in a leaf mould bin to rot down into leaf mould or just chuck onto your compost heap. Adding leaves back into your soil in whatever shape or form you choose is hugely advantageous because they contain minerals like magnesium and phosphorus that replace those lost during the growing season. They are also free!

Sow microgreens for nutrient-rich pickings in just a few weeks.

Microgreens can be grown all year round, in any container you can get your hands on, on any available windowsill. Fill your container with soil or potting compost and make a small drill in the middle about 1cm deep. Sprinkle the seeds as evenly as you can in the drill and cover with soil. Lightly mist using a spray bottle as opposed to a watering can, the seeds are quite small, so you don’t want them to be washed away. Ensure the seeds don’t dry out and you should be able to harvest your microgreen in under two weeks’ time. Keep sowing regularly and you will be able to eat fresh greens all winter long. For more information on microgreen why not check out ‘Sprouts, Shoots and Microgreens: Tiny Plants to Grow and Eat in Your Home Kitchen’ by Lina Wallentinson, available to borrow from your local library.

Plant garlic cloves.

Garlic needs a good cold snap to properly develop so now is a good time for planting. Choose a sunny spot with good drainage, this is important as the cloves will rot if they become waterlogged. Give your soil a good rake to break up all the lumps and add some compost. Push the garlic into the soil flat end first with the pointy end towards the sky and cover with around 5cm of soil. Keep around 15cm between each garlic clove to ensure each one has enough space to grow and that’s it! Keep the space free of weeds and by June next year you should have a wonderful garlic harvest.

The Comprehensive Guide to Multivitamin Gummies: Benefits, Ingredients, and How to Choose the Best

Multivitamin gummies have become a popular supplement option for people of all ages, offering an easy and delicious way to boost essential nutrient intake. Whether you're trying to fill nutritional gaps, improve overall health, or ensure you get your daily vitamins, multivitamin gummies provide a convenient solution. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll delve into the benefits of multivitamin gummies, explore their common ingredients, and provide tips on how to choose the best gummies for your needs.

What Are Multivitamin Gummies?

Multivitamin gummies are chewable supplements designed to provide a range of essential vitamins and minerals that your body needs to function properly. Unlike traditional multivitamin pills or capsules, gummies come in flavors and textures similar to candy, making them more enjoyable to consume—especially for those who struggle with swallowing pills.

These gummies are typically formulated to support a wide range of health needs, including immunity, energy production, skin health, and overall well-being. They come in various formulations tailored to different age groups, genders, and health conditions, ensuring that everyone can find a product suited to their needs.

Key Benefits of Multivitamin Gummies

Convenience and Enjoyment One of the main reasons people opt for multivitamin gummies is their ease of use. They’re convenient to take, don’t require water, and are generally more pleasant to consume compared to traditional pills. The enjoyable taste also makes it easier to incorporate them into daily routines, increasing the likelihood of consistent use.

Nutrient Support Even with a balanced diet, it’s common to miss out on some essential nutrients. Multivitamin gummies can help bridge the gap, ensuring you get enough vitamins and minerals such as Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Vitamin A, B-complex vitamins, and essential minerals like zinc and magnesium.

Immune System Boost Many multivitamin gummies are formulated with immune-supporting ingredients like Vitamin C, Vitamin D, and zinc. These nutrients play a crucial role in keeping your immune system strong, especially during flu season or times of stress.

Improved Energy Levels Certain B vitamins, like B12 and B6, are vital for converting food into energy. Gummies enriched with these vitamins can help support healthy energy levels, combating fatigue and supporting overall vitality.

Skin, Hair, and Nail Health Multivitamin gummies often contain biotin, Vitamin E, and other antioxidants, which are known for promoting skin, hair, and nail health. These ingredients can help reduce dryness, improve skin elasticity, and strengthen brittle nails.

Supports Bone and Heart Health Many gummies include Vitamin D and calcium, which are essential for maintaining bone density and reducing the risk of osteoporosis. Other heart-healthy ingredients, like omega-3 fatty acids and CoQ10, may also be present in certain formulations to promote cardiovascular health.

Common Ingredients in Multivitamin Gummies

Vitamin C Known for its immune-boosting properties, Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect your body from free radicals and supports skin health.

Vitamin D Essential for bone health, Vitamin D aids in calcium absorption and supports immune function. It's particularly important during the winter months when sunlight exposure is limited.

B-Complex Vitamins These vitamins (B6, B12, B1, B2, etc.) are crucial for energy production, brain function, and red blood cell formation. They also play a role in maintaining a healthy metabolism.

Vitamin A Vitamin A is essential for vision, immune function, and skin health. It also acts as an antioxidant, protecting cells from damage.

Zinc Zinc supports the immune system, helps with wound healing, and plays a role in cell division and growth. It’s a crucial mineral for overall health.

Biotin Popular in gummies designed for hair, skin, and nail health, biotin is a B-vitamin that helps maintain the strength of hair and nails and promotes healthy skin.

Folic Acid Folic acid, or Vitamin B9, is important for cell division and the production of DNA. It’s particularly important for women of childbearing age to prevent neural tube defects in developing babies.

Calcium and Magnesium These minerals are often included in multivitamin formulations to support bone health, muscle function, and overall metabolic processes.

How to Choose the Best Multivitamin Gummies

With so many options available, it can be overwhelming to choose the right multivitamin gummies. Here are some tips to help you make an informed decision:

Check for Essential Nutrients Make sure the gummies provide the key vitamins and minerals you need. Look for a broad range of nutrients, especially if you have specific health concerns (e.g., immune support, bone health).

Quality of Ingredients Choose gummies that use high-quality, bioavailable forms of vitamins and minerals. For example, methylated forms of B vitamins are easier for the body to absorb, and Vitamin D3 is more effective than D2.

Look for Low Sugar Content Since multivitamin gummies can taste like candy, they often contain added sugars. Opt for products with low sugar content or those sweetened with natural alternatives like stevia.

Allergen-Free and Vegan Options If you have dietary restrictions, check the label for allergens such as gluten, dairy, soy, or artificial dyes. Many companies now offer vegan-friendly gummies made without gelatin, using pectin or agar as an alternative.

Third-Party Testing and Certifications To ensure safety and potency, look for multivitamin gummies that are third-party tested. Certifications like NSF, USP, or GMP can also provide reassurance that the product meets high-quality standards.

Age and Gender-Specific Formulas Certain formulations are tailored to meet the specific needs of men, women, children, or seniors. For example, women's multivitamin gummies may contain additional iron, while senior formulas might focus more on Vitamin D and calcium for bone health.

Potential Downsides of Multivitamin Gummies

Sugar Content While gummies are delicious, they often contain added sugars to improve flavor. Too much sugar can contribute to weight gain, cavities, and other health issues if consumed in excess. Choosing a low-sugar option can help mitigate this risk.

Risk of Overconsumption Because they taste like candy, there’s a temptation to take more than the recommended dose, which can lead to nutrient imbalances or toxicity, especially with fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K.

Incomplete Nutrient Profile Some gummies may lack important minerals like iron or magnesium due to taste or texture issues. Be sure to check the label to ensure you’re getting a complete multivitamin, or consider supplementing with additional nutrients if needed.

Conclusion:

Multivitamin gummies are a great option for people who have trouble swallowing pills or simply want a more enjoyable way to take their vitamins. They offer a convenient and tasty way to ensure you’re getting key nutrients, but it’s essential to choose a product that aligns with your health needs, dietary restrictions, and lifestyle.

Remember to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, especially if you have existing health conditions or take medications. With the right choice, multivitamin gummies can be a delicious and effective way to support your overall health and wellness.

History of National Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Day

Every  year on June 9, we recognize a delicious seasonal pie — strawberry  rhubarb pie! This heavenly dessert is made with a tart vegetable,  rhubarb, and a sweet fruit, strawberries.

Rhubarb is actually a  perennial plant and is often grown in many home gardens. The harvest  period for rhubarb begins in mid-May and goes on until early June. The  rhubarb tends to take on the flavor of the other ingredients that it is  paired with and it makes for a great addition to several recipes.  However, although the stalks of rhubarb can be consumed, the leaves are  toxic to humans. The stalks, on the other hand, are actually good for  your overall health as they are packed with essential vitamins and  nutrients.

The strawberry rhubarb pie is made with a strawberry  and rhubarb filling and sometimes people also use tapioca. The dessert  is prepared with a bottom pie crust and different styles for the upper  crust. The strawberry rhubarb pie is a traditional dessert of the United ��States and belongs to the New England cuisine.

Does Broccoli Help You Lose Weight?

Are you trying to lose weight and looking for a healthy, straightforward way to do it? The secret might be as close as your vegetable drawer. Let's explore how broccoli, a simple green vegetable, could be a key player in your weight loss journey. Does broccoli help you lose weight? Let's find out and see how this ordinary veggie can make a big difference in your health and happiness.

1. Does Broccoli Help You Lose Weight?

Yes, broccoli can be a great help when you're trying to lose weight. It's like other veggies that are low in starch – a great ally in your fight against extra pounds. Here's why broccoli is so good for you: - Low in Calories and Full of Fiber: Broccoli doesn't have many calories, so you can eat a good amount without worrying. It's also rich in fiber, which helps you feel full longer. This fiber also slows down your digestion, helping to keep hunger at bay. - Crowds Out Unhealthy Food: When you eat broccoli, you're choosing healthy foods. Filling up on nutrient-rich vegetables like broccoli means you'll have less room for high-calorie, processed foods. This simple change can make a big difference in your calorie intake.

- Boosts Your Metabolism: Broccoli may increase your metabolism because of its high "thermic effect of food" (TEF). TEF is the energy your body uses to digest food. Foods with a high TEF can help you burn more calories. - Fights Inflammation: Being overweight can lead to chronic inflammation in the body. Broccoli, a cruciferous vegetable, is known for its antioxidants which help fight inflammation. - Improves Insulin Sensitivity and Reduces Appetite: Some studies in 2021 suggest that broccoli and similar vegetables can improve insulin sensitivity and help control your appetite, both important for managing your weight. - May Influence Fat Cells: Early research indicates that compounds in broccoli might affect fat cell growth, which could be important for long-term weight control. In short, adding broccoli to your diet is a wise choice if you're trying to lose weight or keep a healthy weight. Its low calories, high fiber, potential metabolic benefits, and anti-inflammatory properties make it a valuable part of your diet. Tips: Don't just eat broccoli. Variety in your vegetables is key for the best health benefits. Steam or lightly cook broccoli to keep its nutrients. For balanced meals, combine broccoli with lean proteins and whole grains.

2. Nutritional Benefits of Broccoli for Weight Loss

Let's look at what makes broccoli so nutritious: - Water Content: Broccoli is about 90% water, helping you stay hydrated without extra calories. - Macronutrients: Broccoli has only 35 calories per cup (90 grams). It's made up of 7% carbohydrates, 3% protein, and very little fat. - Fiber: A good source of dietary fiber, broccoli has 2.2 grams per cup, aiding digestion and fullness. Vitamins: Broccoli is a nutritional powerhouse. In one cup, you get: - Vitamin C: 91% of your Daily Value (DV), important for your immune system. - Vitamin K: 77% of the DV, crucial for blood clotting and bone health. - Folate: 15% of the DV, necessary for cell growth. - Minerals: It also contains potassium, magnesium, iron, and calcium, important for muscles and bones. Broccoli is not just low in calories, but also rich in important nutrients like vitamins C and K, and fiber. It's a great addition to any diet, whether you're trying to stay healthy or lose weight. Enjoy it both raw and cooked to get the most benefits.

3. Broccoli's Contribution to Weight Loss

Adding broccoli to your meals as part of a balanced, healthy diet can really help with your weight loss efforts and boost your overall health. Remember, though, that weight loss is complex and involves more than just what you eat. It's about a combination of good diet, regular exercise, stress management, and enough sleep. Let's see how broccoli fits into this weight loss puzzle:

- Low in Calories: A serving of cooked broccoli has only about 50 to 65 calories, and 100 grams of it has just 39 calories. For weight loss, you need to burn more calories than you eat. Eating low-calorie foods like broccoli helps you maintain a calorie deficit. - Keeps You Full: Broccoli is packed with fiber, around 3.3 grams per 100 grams. Fiber absorbs water and expands in your stomach, which makes you feel full and reduces your appetite. This means you're less likely to snack between meals, helping you control your calorie intake. - Rich in Vitamin C: Broccoli is a great source of vitamin C, which not only helps burn fat but also supports your immune system, and is good for your skin and hair. Eating vitamin C-rich foods is a great way to stay healthy while you're losing weight. - Vitamin K for Metabolism: Broccoli contains vitamin K, which is good for metabolizing glucose and fats. This can be especially helpful in reducing belly fat, a common weight loss goal. - Carotenoids for Fat Burning: The carotenoids in broccoli can help your body burn fat. Eating foods high in carotenoids can support your efforts to lose body fat. - Hydration and Metabolism: Broccoli is about 90% water, making it great for keeping your metabolism healthy and staying hydrated. A well-functioning metabolism is key for burning calories effectively. Broccoli can be a really useful part of your weight loss plan. It's low in calories and high in fiber, vitamins (like C and K), and other beneficial compounds. Combined with a well-rounded approach that includes exercise, stress management, and good sleep, broccoli can significantly contribute to your weight loss efforts.

4. Additional Health Benefits of Broccoli

Broccoli isn't just great for weight management; it has numerous other health benefits: - Cardiovascular Health: Eating broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables can boost heart health by improving blood flow and strengthening the heart. Studies show that broccoli can help relax blood vessels, leading to lower blood pressure. - Eye Health: Broccoli is loaded with vitamin A and antioxidants, which are great for eye health. These nutrients can help reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration and cataracts, maintaining good vision. - Cancer Prevention: The antioxidants in broccoli, especially sulforaphane, can help prevent cell damage and potentially reduce cancer risk. Sulforaphane is thought to hinder the growth of cancerous cells.

Additional Health Benefits of Broccoli - Anti-Inflammatory Properties: A 2014 study found that sulforaphane in broccoli has anti-inflammatory effects. This could mean eating broccoli helps fight inflammation, which is linked to many chronic health conditions. - Cholesterol Management: Broccoli's soluble fiber can lower cholesterol levels. This fiber binds with bile acids in the digestive system, helping to remove cholesterol from the body.

Green Your Diet: Exploring the World of Green Supplements

Maintaining a healthy diet is essential for overall health and wellness. However, it can be challenging to get all the necessary nutrients from food alone. This is where supplements come in. Supplements can help fill nutrient gaps and support optimal health.

What are Greens Supplements and Why Should You Consider Them?

Greens supplements in Canada are powdered or capsule forms of concentrated fruits, vegetables, and other plant-based ingredients. They are designed to provide a convenient way to increase your intake of essential nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fibre. Greens supplements can help fill nutrient gaps in your diet, especially if you struggle to consume enough fruits and vegetables daily.

One of the main benefits of green supplements is their ability to provide a wide range of nutrients in a concentrated form. They often contain a blend of ingredients like spinach, kale, spirulina, chlorella, and wheatgrass, which are rich in vitamins A, C, and K, and minerals like iron and magnesium. These nutrients are essential for supporting immune function, promoting healthy digestion, and providing antioxidant protection against free radicals.

The Science Behind Greens Supplements: What Do the Studies Say?

Scientific research on green supplements has shown promising results in terms of their potential health benefits. A study published in the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine found that participants who consumed a greens supplement experienced improved digestion and increased energy levels. Another study published in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition found that greens supplements can enhance immune function and reduce oxidative stress.

While green supplements have many potential benefits, it's important to note that they are not a substitute for a healthy diet. They should be used as a supplement to support overall health and wellness. It's also important to choose a high-quality greens supplement that is free from additives and fillers.

How to Incorporate Greens Supplements into Your Daily Routine

Adding greens supplements to your daily routine is easy and can be done in a variety of ways. Here are some tips for incorporating them into your diet:

Add them to smoothies: Blend a scoop of greens supplement with your favourite fruits, vegetables, and a liquid of your choice, such as almond milk or coconut water. This will not only increase your nutrient intake but also add a boost of flavour to your smoothie.

Mix them with water or juice: If you're in a hurry or don't have time to make a smoothie, simply mix a scoop of greens supplement with water or juice and drink it on its own. This is a quick and convenient way to get your daily dose of nutrients.

Sprinkle them on top of meals: Another way to incorporate greens supplements into your diet is by sprinkling them on top of salads, soups, or other meals. This will add an extra nutritional boost without altering the taste of your food.

When it comes to dosage, it's best to follow the instructions on the product label. Most greens supplements recommend taking one scoop per day, but this may vary depending on the brand and formulation. It's also important to listen to your body and adjust the dosage accordingly.

Mood And Food

Have you ever been so upset that you didn’t feel like eating or eating a lot of junk food? If yes, then it’s not far-fetched to believe that food does affect your mood.

And you know what? It is true! Eating food does affect how you feel and your overall mental health and well-being.

Do You Want To Know How?

Serotonin the neurotransmitter widely known for regulating your mood and regulating sleep and appetite is mainly produced in the gastrointestinal tract i.e. part of your digestive system. It is not hard to make a connection that the digestive tract that secretes this neurotransmitter also is affected by the food you eat. Moreover, the function of these neurons in the GI tract and the production of neurotransmitters like serotonin both are highly impacted by the billions of good bacteria that make up your intestinal microbiome. These bacteria play an essential role in your overall health.

The gastrointestinal tract, also known as the “Gut,” is often said to have an intricate relationship with the brain which is called the gut-brain connection which is why the Gut is often referred to as the “Second Brain.” There is much more to be found about the gut and brain connection but one thing is for sure whatever we eat influences the microbes which in turn affects our health and mental well-being.

Some specific foods and their effects on our mood:

Nutrients and brain function: The brain is made up of about 60% fat, and it needs certain nutrients to function properly. These nutrients include omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, folate, and iron. When you don’t get enough of these nutrients, it can affect your mood, memory, and concentration.

Sugar and mood: Sugar can cause a temporary spike in blood sugar levels, followed by a crash. This can lead to fatigue, irritability, and difficulty concentrating. Eating too much sugar can also increase your risk of developing depression.

Caffeine and anxiety: Caffeine is a stimulant that can increase your heart rate and blood pressure. It can also make you feel anxious or jittery. If you’re already feeling anxious, caffeine can make your symptoms worse.

Alcohol and depression: Alcohol is a depressant that can worsen symptoms of depression. It can also lead to anxiety, insomnia, and memory problems.

Do you want to support your mental health and well-being?

To improve your mood, one of the best things you can do in terms of diet is simply to eat a well-balanced diet that contains a variety of health-promoting nutrients such as eating food filled with;

Omega 3 acids: walnuts, chia and flax seeds, salmon, etc., Iron: spinach, dark chocolate, white beans, etc., Magnesium: spinach, pumpkin, almonds, cashews, etc., Zinc: chicken, lobster, pumpkin seeds, etc., B vitamins: chickpeas, potatoes, bananas, etc., Vitamin A: cow’s milk, ricotta cheese, sweet potatoes, carrots, etc., Vitamin C: red and green peppers, oranges, strawberries, etc.

If you are worried about your weight then the best way to eat healthily is to have a colorful plate filled with vegetables and fruits of different colors. Restricting certain foods is almost never a good recipe, except in the case of food allergies/intolerances. Almost as detrimental as labelling food as “good” and “bad “. Prebiotics foods provide nutrition to the good bacteria living in your gut, while probiotics contain healthy bacteria themselves. Foods such as yogurt, kefir, buttermilk, kimchi, barley, garlic, and oats contain these biotics.

Just like some food might be beneficial for your gut health there is some food that might negatively affect your gut; here’s a list of food that you can use as substitutes to limit the harmful effects.

Soda: Instead of drinking soda, try drinking water, tea, or coffee. Candy: Instead of eating candy, try eating fruit, nuts, or yogurt. Chips: Instead of eating chips, try eating popcorn, vegetables, or whole-wheat crackers. Cookies: Instead of eating cookies, try eating fruit bars, granola bars, or energy bites. Fast food: Instead of eating fast food, try cooking small meals at home such as sandwiches or overnight oats, or eating at a healthy restaurant.

Feel free to reach out to us if there is anything more you would like to discuss about your eating habits or eating disorders.

It is made by steeping compost in water, which encourages the growth of beneficial microorganisms like bacteria and fungi. The resulting solution is then used to irrigate plants or sprayed onto foliage as a foliar spray. 2. Fish Emulsion: Fish emulsion is another type of organic liquid fertilizer that has been used for centuries. It is made from fish waste that has been processed into a liquid form through enzymatic hydrolysis. This process breaks down the proteins and other nutrients in the fish waste into forms that can be more easily absorbed by plants. 3. Seaweed Fertilizer: Seaweed fertilizer, also known as kelp fertilizers, are made from seaweed harvested from the ocean's floor or shoreline. These fertilizers are rich in minerals such as potassium, nitrogen, iron, magnesium, calcium and trace elements such as iodine and zinc which are vital to plant growth & development. Organic Liquid Fertilizers not only help maintain soil health but boost crop productivity too! Compost tea Compost tea is a liquid fertilizer made by steeping compost in water. It contains beneficial microorganisms, nutrients, and organic matter that can improve soil health and plant growth. Compost tea can be applied directly to the soil or sprayed onto plant leaves for foliar feeding. To make compost tea, fill a container with water and add a handful of finished compost. Let it steep for 24-48 hours, stirring occasionally. Strain out the solids and use the liquid as needed. Some gardeners add additional ingredients like molasses or seaweed extract to enhance the nutrient content of their compost tea. Compost tea is a great option for those who want to avoid synthetic fertilizers but don't have access to enough space or materials for traditional composting methods. It's also easy to customize based on your specific gardening needs and can be used in conjunction with other organic fertilizers for even better results. Seaweed extract Seaweed extract is a popular ingredient in organic liquid fertilizers due to its high nutrient concentration. Seaweed contains essential micronutrients like iron, zinc, and manganese, as well as macronutrients like nitrogen and potassium. These nutrients are easily absorbed by plants and can promote healthy root growth and increased crop yields. In addition to providing nutrients, seaweed extract has also been found to have plant growth-promoting properties. It contains natural hormones like cytokinins that can stimulate cell division and increase plant growth rates. It can also help improve stress tolerance in plants by increasing their ability to withstand drought or disease. Seaweed extract is a sustainable option for farmers looking for an alternative to synthetic fertilizers. It is derived from a renewable resource, requires minimal processing, and has low environmental impact when applied correctly. As the demand for organic agriculture continues to grow, seaweed extract will likely become an even more important component of liquid fertilizers in the future. https://gardenguide4all.com/organic-liquid-fertilizers-a-convenient-and-effective-option/ Read the full article
