If you are feeling under the weather, try this!!

Pair this with garlic soup, you'll be healthy all winter!

In all, flu vaccines have too many problems to recommend them against an illness that should be fairly straightforward to overcome.

I don't know about the "destroy ANY virus" claims....but it certainly HELPS stave off colds and infections so frequent at this time of year.
I heart GARLIC!

Forget the flu shot. A soup based on more than 50 cloves of garlic, onions, thyme and lemon will destroy almost any virus that enters its path including colds, flu and even norovirus.

Interesting!!!!
Today's athletes are on board with this idea. Look at athletes like Brendan Brazier, Venus Williams, Scott Jurek, Carl Lewis and many others
Thoughts?

New research published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition shows that both plant-based protein and meat build muscle equally well however because plant-protein comes with less 'baggage' in the form of harmful components it's the more beneficial protein source to use.A study published last…

My number one recommendation for people suffering from chronic inflammation is to try a nice warm cup of "Golden Milk" at bedtime.
THIS, however, is also a great idea as a special treat!

Vegan golden milk ice cream with a coconut milk base and ginger, turmeric, vanilla, and cinnamon. A creamy frozen dessert with health benefits!

Wondering what could be causing achy joints and swelling?
I know for myself, even without digestive upset, my fingers will swell and become stiff and sore within about 12 hours if I ingest gluten.

What may cause inflammation?

I love this list for making people even THINK about the environmental aspect of food choices; however nutritionally speaking, I cannot support it 100%. Broccoli, for example, is NOT in season year round. It is a fall season food. It is AVAILABLE all year round, but not IN SEASON. Asparagus is also a perennial...which requires less work in subsequent years, where planting broccoli is a repeated labour intensive process every year.

And tofu over lentils?? Uhhh no. Hello fibre!

And the reality of advocating cottage cheese over block cheese is a bit ridiculous in practicality. Do you think large industrial farming corporations are actually going to downsize their dairy farms and produce ONLY cottage cheese to be more environmentally conscious? Again...uhhh, no.

And my last criticism of this article; why is Palm oil not on this list and up for discussion??

We know you're trying hard to be healthy: You desperately want to like the taste of matcha, you avoid GMOs whenever possible, and you're even dabbling in the weird world of meat alternatives. But do you ever stop to think about the health of the big, blue-and-green planet you call home?
