5 Starbucks Drinks
If you are #basic and love Starbucks but are trying to make healthy choices, this post is for you! I have been on my own health and fitness journey, and what I have learned is that when you start off trying to cut everything out, and become super restrictive all at once, more than likely you're not going to be able to sustain that way of eating. I believe in starting off slow, and trying to be more mindful about what you are consuming. So making some healthier swaps at first can make the transition a little smoother.

7 Red Foods That Are Essential for Health and Longevity
An apple a day really may keep the doctor away. That’s a red apple, to be precise. Red foods are particularly rich in disease-fighting antioxidants.

Lycopene, the antioxidant that gives red fruits and vegetables their bright red color, is believed to reduce the risk of cancer and heart disease. While most plant-based foods are generally healthy, these seven red fruits and vegetables rise to the top as particularly smart choices for anyone interested in supporting good health and longevity.

Toilet: "I've Bean on It!"
Growing up, I wasn't a fan of beans—except for pork and beans. I didn't like the taste of black eyed peas. I highly disliked lima beans and good luck with me eating a navy bean. Hell, I use to eat around the kidney beans in my father's chili!

Eating for Longevity: Foods for a Long, Healthy Life
It has never been more obvious than it is now what an important impact the nutrients we intake through our day have on our overall health. We’ve been told many times that greasy food, fast food and any kind of gold-colored food isn’t good for us, and there are many reasons for it. Researchers have made the effort to put together hundreds of papers that show how malnutrition is connected to the most common diseases in the world, especially cardiovascular issues and diabetes. Unhealthy eating can also affect your brain and cause premature aging, as well as cancer. Although we can’t eat everything good (despite all our efforts), we can try to enhance our food supply with the best ingredients and boost our health as much as possible, and here are some ways to do so.

I Gave Up Wheat and Got My Life Back. Top Story - September 2019.
It’s not so much that I decided to give up wheat, as I was just really sick of matzoh. Passover came along and I thought 'I just can't do the matzoh this year.' Well, I did try. The only way I can find those dry crackers palatable is by covering them in lots of butter and salt. I tried that for two days and was plagued by the stomach troubles that had dogged me all of my life due to "lactose intolerance.'
