    5 Reasons to Avoid Fast Food Consumption

    February 19, 2021

    As I drag myself to my new job, I past numerous fast food joints and coffee shops offering unhealthy food. Of course, we know it tastes yummy, and you enjoy the sumptuous delicacy, but it isn’t doing any good to your health. Unfortunately, many of us, including me, are looking for convivence and forgetting what fast food does to our bodies. All of us know, eating a poor quality diet high in fast food is linked to a higher risk of obesity, depression, digestive issues, heart disease and stroke, type 2 diabetes, cancer, and early death. But here are few other things to consider before you pull up to that…

    Reasons to Try a Plant-Based Diet for Christmas

    November 10, 2020

    After we get our fill of Christmas treats and family dinners, we start thinking about our health and making New Year’s resolutions. Why are you waiting till  January to take up a health challenge?

    Embracing Healthy Fats and Oils

    November 5, 2020

    Examining how we consume fats, our dietary needs, cooking, and digesting are key to recognizing healthy fats and oils. Not all dietary fats are created equal, but fat is one of the body’s basic nutrients providing energy by furnishing calories. Fat nutrients’ main roles are to provide storage fuel for the body, but they are also involved in the absorption of some vitamins, help to control inflammation, and also in blood clotting. You do not have to be afraid of “FATS,” it can be a superfood when used properly. It is the quality of the fat which matters. When shopping, can you pick out the healthy fats and oils? Types…

    Homemade Gifts From Your Kitchen

    June 19, 2020

    There is something truly special about receiving a homemade gift. Creating something from scratch carries a fantastic feeling when presenting it to someone.

Choosing something off a shelf is too easy and superficial, there is something extra special about giving and receiving a handmade present. Shopping for presents can be difficult, especially when you aren’t sure what to buy. Head to the mall, and you will find tons of gift ideas to choose from, but if you want to show someone that you care, nothing beats homemade, especially if you make…
