    June 27, 2019

    Let’s face it, I am not a fan of salmon alone, but pair it with potatoes, along with the health benefits, I will incorporate it in my dinner menu somehow. My memories of salmon are distorted.

I wanted a salmon recipe that would be simple to prepare, delicious, and incredibly easy to clean up – Read on!  I hit a home run! Health Benefits of Salmon Salmon is naturally loaded in Omega-3 fats.                  Don’t worry…

    The Connection Between Your Cholesterol and Food

    February 6, 2019

    As we get older, our cholesterol levels change and so does the connection between your cholesterol and food. Doctors are not really sure how aging affects the composition and function of HDL, aka high-density lipoproteins levels; however, research has proven there is a significant change from our youth, and the food we eat plays an intricate part. Cholesterol in the body Cholesterol is a waxy substance that’s found in all of your cells and has several useful functions, including helping to build your body’s cells.

    Food To Help Manage Hypertension

    July 11, 2018

    I was diagnosed with hypertension when I was 25 years old and suffering from chronic migraines. Research suggests if your family records reveal a history of hypertension, it can increase your risk by 60%. Several blood relatives on my mother and father’s side of the family suffered from elevated blood pressure. Prior to my diagnosis, a variety of doctors, including a neurologist performed several CT’s,  and asked me to keep a daily journal of my blood pressure. Treatment included several attempts to find the appropriate prescription, which resulted in a daily dose of  Ziac, which continues to this day. What is hypertension? Hypertension basically means, while your heart is beating,…

    FDA Extends Trans Fats Compliance

    July 5, 2018

    In 2006, the Food and Drug Administration required food manufacturers to disclose the amount of Trans Fats in a food product on the Nutrition Facts label, in the hopes of curtailing the use of partially hydrogenated oils, (PHO) in our food supply. Research and health organizations, such as the American Heart Association have proven trans fats raise your bad (LDL) cholesterol levels and lower your good (HDL) cholesterol levels, increasing your risk of developing heart disease and stroke. Despite the labeling requirement, by 2015, a substantial number of products still contained PHOs. Therefore, the FDA set June 18, 2018, as the deadline for food manufacturers to eliminate PHO’s completely. “the Food and…
