🧄 Black Garlic: The Superfood You’re Missing Out On 🧄 You’ve heard of garlic, but have you tried black garlic? This aged version of regular garlic is PACKED with benefits that go way beyond its raw form — and trust me, it’s worth adding to your diet! 🖤 Here’s why: 🟣 Antioxidant Powerhouse Black garlic contains twice the amount of antioxidants as regular garlic, thanks to a compound called S-allyl-cysteine (SAC). It helps fight inflammation, protects your cells, and supports heart health! [Source: Journal of Food and Drug Analysis] 🟣 Boosts Immune Function Want to keep viruses and infections at bay? Black garlic’s fermentation process supercharges its immune-boosting and antimicrobial properties, making it a natural defense against illness. [Source: International Journal of Preventive Medicine] 🟣 Heart Health Champion This superfood helps reduce bad cholesterol (LDL) and lower blood pressure, reducing your risk of heart disease. Your heart will love it ❤️ [Source: Journal of Nutrition] But let’s be honest: it’s not just about the health benefits... Black garlic’s sweet, balsamic-like flavor is a game-changer in the kitchen! Here’s how to enjoy it: 👉 Spread it on toast or mix it into sauces 👉 Add it to stir-fries, soups, or roasted veggies 👉 Or just snack on it raw (yes, it’s that good!) 💡 Pro tip: To keep all its amazing benefits intact, add black garlic at the end of cooking or use it raw. Bottom line: If you’re looking to boost your health with something delicious, black garlic is your new best friend. 🖤🌱 #BlackGarlic #Superfood #Antioxidants #HeartHealth #HealthyEating #Wellness #Nutrition

Vitamin D Secrets Plants & Sunshine Welcome, everyone, to a discussion on crafting a nutritionally balanced whole food plant-based diet with the right ingredients. Contrary to common belief, animal-based foods are not essential for a balanced diet; in fact, many vital nutrients can be easily obtained from plants. Let's start by focusing on Vitamin D. This essential nutrient plays a crucial role in helping your body absorb calcium and phosphorus, vital for maintaining strong bones and a robust immune system. You can incorporate Vitamin D into your diet through fortified almond milk, cereals, orange juice, soy milk, and tofu. Surprisingly, even mushrooms can be a source of this important vitamin. As we age, our bodies become more acidic ❌🥛. Cow's milk, being acidic, is neutralized by the body, drawing from our bones. 🦴 And here's an interesting twist—sunshine! Just stepping outside and enjoying some sunlight can also provide your body with Vitamin D, just 15 minutes a day, benefits far out weigh the risk of skin cancer plus you can wear a sunscreen cream. So, whether it's through fortified foods or a dose of natural sunlight, ensuring you get enough Vitamin D is a key step towards a well-rounded plant-based diet. If you love animals and want to discover secrets about training, fitness 💪, and health 🐾, follow my little nuggets! #PlantBasedDiet #Nutrition #VitaminD #HealthyLiving #WholeFoods #BalancedDiet #NutrientRich #Wellness #DietTips #HealthTips #PlantPowered #Vegetarian #SunshineVitamin

When it comes to longevity, you need to make sure you are providing the right nutrition to preserve our healthy bones 🦴⬇️ Experiencing bone loss is a natural part of aging, but eating a well-balanced diet can slow down the process. Here are several nutrients you need to prioritize to keep your bones healthy as you age: Calcium: If you don't get enough calcium from your diet, your body will pull the minerals from your bones. Dairy products are more widely known as being sources of calcium, but other calcium-rich foods include tofu, beans, leafy greens, sardines, bok choy, and plant-based milk. Luckily, many of our Longevity Diet meals contain tofu, beans, and/or dark, leafy greens. Vitamin D: Now, to absorb the calcium from your diet, you need to make sure you are getting enough vitamin D. While you can always get vitamin D from the sun, sometimes that is not always possible, so we need to make sure we are consuming vitamin D-rich foods. These include salmon, tuna, egg yolks, mushrooms, milk, and fortified plant-based milk and cereals. When choosing meals from our Pick Your Own plans, make sure to choose a few of our delicious salmon dishes! Protein: Protein is essential for replacing bone when it is lost, so make sure you are getting enough. The average adult should strive for around 0.36 grams of protein per pound of body weight, while older adults may need to increase the amount to 0.45 grams. That being said, always check with your doctor or Registered Dietitian to determine your appropriate protein needs. Protein sources include meat, Greek yogurt, eggs, tofu, lentils, and almonds.

You can enjoy 'honey beans' (a.k.a 'ewa oloyin') and still manage your blood sugar well. I can't count the number of times people have asked me if 'honey beans' is safe for people with diabetes. ... because a food taste naturally sweet or has 'honey' or 'sweet' added to its name does not automatically make it unhealthy for people with diabetes. Some foods that don't taste sweet can also raise your blood if you eat them in large portion sizes. All types of beans are good sources of starchy carbs and fiber and can be part of a healthy diet for you. Whichever type of beans you like to eat, make sure you apply portion control. In addition, you can serve your portion of beans with other protein-rich foods such as: 🫘fish, 🫘shrimp, 🫘chicken, 🫘lean beef, 🫘tofu, 🫘or mushroom, and add your choice of non-starchy vegetables. 📍Don't let diabetes nutrition misinformation stop you from enjoying your favourite foods! #poiseranutrition #honeybeans #diabetesnutrition #bloodsugardiet #diabetesdiet #foodsfordiabetes #thepoiseradietitians #diabetesnutritionsupport

Eating a balanced diet is foundational for boosting your immune system, but it's not just about loading up on vitamin C during cold season. While a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains is important, let's explore some less obvious dietary choices that can boost your immune system. Fermented foods like yogurt, sauerkraut, kimchi, and kefir are rich in probiotics, which help maintain your gut health. Since a significant portion of your immune system is located in the gut, these foods can play a vital role. Herbs and spices like turmeric, ginger, and garlic have anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties. Incorporating these into your diet can help reduce inflammation and support immune function. Seeds and nuts like flaxseeds, chia seeds, and almonds are packed with omega-3 fatty acids, selenium, and zinc, which are important for your immune system. Check out my full video on the five ways to stay healthy and boost your immune system here: https://lnkd.in/ghERFgXS #immunehealth #probiotics #fermentedfoods #BalancedDiet #ImmuneBoostingFoods #HealthyEating #Probiotics #FermentedFoods #GutHealth #ImmuneSupport #VitaminC #HealthyLifestyle #NutritionTips #TurmericBenefits #GingerHealth #GarlicPower #AntiInflammatoryDiet #Omega3FattyAcids #HerbsAndSpices #NutrientRich #HealthyGut #ImmuneHealth #WellnessJourney
