Greetings to you,
I’ve included an interesting chart below with the healthiest dairy-free foods for building strong bones and teeth. Nuts, broccoli and figs are high in calcium and magnesium, which are known to strengthen bones. Foods rich in vitamin D are also beneficial.
For vitamin D, spend a bit of time outside in the sunshine and also eat fish like tuna, mackerel and salmon.

Key Steps to Avoid GMO Foods
Greetings to you,
Animal testing with genetically modified organisms has shown severe organ damage. In addition, sterility has resulted among cows and pigs fed GMO foods like corn on North American farms.
The number one tip is to avoid purchasing foods or oils that contain non-organic soy, corn, cottonseed or canola ingredients. 90 percent of these crops are now genetically modified. When these ingredients are on the label, look for “certified organic” or “organic” next to them. Processed foods and restaurants are other risk areas. Some known GMO vegetables to be avoided are:
Vegetables and fruits to be enjoyed freely are:

Greetings to you,
There’s an informative chart below that has the top 8 ways to boost your immune system What exactly is the “Immune System”? The body’s immune system protects us against disease, germs, viruses and microorganisms every day of our lives. Some of the parts of the immune system are the tonsils, spleen, and bone marrow (where white blood cells are made).
Usually the immune system does a great job of protecting us from illness and disease. Sometimes a lack of sleep or exercise, chemicals in foods, toxins in the environment, excess sugar, or prolonged stress weakens it.
Regarding white sugar, the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reports that when healthy volunteers consumed a large amount of sugar, their immune system’s white blood cells had an impaired ability to destroy bacteria for at least five hours. One healthy alternative is whole raw fruit, which makes great desserts and snacks. Enjoy the chart below and put it to good use!

Greetings to you,
Here is a helpful chart that gives eight great sources of plant protein. These include tempeh (healthy fermented soybeans), almonds, lentils, chickpeas, quinoa (the edible seeds of a gluten-free grain), peas, oats and spinach.
These high protein foods are definitely comparable to their animal protein counterparts, although some good fish, chicken and turkey are also healthful choices.

Greetings to you,
Many of us are seeking out ways to be healthier and have more energy. One of the best ways to do this is to listen to your body.
How can one do this? There are some specific ways and times that you can increase your awareness of the effects certain things are having on you.
1. When you eat certain types of foods, how do you feel afterwards? If your energy is increased that’s a great sign. If you feel more tired, your stomach aches, or you get heartburn, that’s a good time to examine what you ate and make some changes to create a better effect next time.
2. When you take nutritional supplements, try to add new supplements one thing at a time so you can isolate where any effects are coming from. If it helps to energize you, that’s great. Unless its a sleeping supplement! In that case, take a smaller dose and see if it relaxes you instead. A good natural sleep aid should help to relax you and also help you sleep sounder and longer. If there are any after-effects such as grogginess in the morning, take less of the supplement or take it earlier in the day than bedtime, such as at dinner.
3. If you do exercises or take walks, etc. try to notice the effect it has afterwards. A good exercise should not completely exhaust you or make your muscles overly sore. If you have a muscle spasm or cramp, you can either reduce the amount of exercise next time, or increase the calcium and magnesium in your diet (or use supplements).

Greetings to you,
Having some body fat provides some benefits in maintaining the good health of our body.
* It can generate heat and provide a buffer against the cold weather.
* Body fat stores energy and fuel for metabolism, muscles, and organs.
* It helps us utilize the fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin D, which are vital for our bones, teeth and skin.
* It’s a shield and buffer that surrounds our organs such as the heart and liver, and protects them

A recent study published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition has found that eating 1.5 ounces of lightly salted, dry-roasted almonds each day (about 35 almonds) reduce overall hunger, does not affect body weight, and helped the participants to meet their ideal daily intake of Vitamin E.
With the majority of Americans eating more and more snacks, it’s a great thing to find a snack that doesn’t result in weight gain and that also provides nutritional benefits.
The test divided the 137 people into five groups: One group ate no nuts or seeds, another group ate almonds with breakfast, another ate them with lunch, the next group ate them alone as a mid-morning snack, and the last group ate them as a mid-afternoon snack.
An interesting aspect of the study is that the participants were people with a higher risk of type 2 diabetes. Eating almonds lowered their blood sugar levels after meals, especially for the in between meal “snack” groups. When consumed as snacks, the almonds reduce hunger even at regular meals.
Richard Mattes, PhD, professor of nutrition science at Purdue University and the lead researcher of the study says: “This research suggests that almonds may be a good snack option, especially for those concerned about weight.” The study shows that almonds can increase healthy fat and Vitamin E intake, while avoiding weight gain, despite the increase in calories from eating them.

Restless leg syndrome (RLS) is a form of insomnia characterized by an overwhelming urge to move the legs when they are at rest, especially during sleep.
RLS affects about 10% of the people in the U.S. It runs in families and may have a genetic component.
A recent study from Yazd University of Medical Science in Iran has found that the mineral selenium provides improvement for restless leg syndrome symptoms.
The theory behind why selenium is effective in RLS is an interesting one. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter, which is a chemical messenger that helps in the transmission of signals in the brain and other vital areas.
The involvement of the dopamine system is considered by some to be the base reason for the development of RLS. Selenium has been shown to have healthful characteristics that promote the action of the dopamine pathways in the body.
The Iranian study of selenium for restless leg syndrome was a five month trial. The patients first took a placebo, and then took 50 micrograms (a microgram is one millionth of a gram) and then 200 micrograms of selenium.
The researchers concluded that selenium in the daily recommended dose of 50 micrograms reduces the occurrence of restless leg syndrome symptoms greatly. Due to the absence of side effects from selenium consumption, they recommend selenium for the improvement of RLS, and acknowledge it as an alternative remedy to dopamine enhancing drugs.
