We don’t all have to go gluten-free… But if you have these health problems above- going gluten-free just might turn your health around!

The best way to find out if you have a problem with gluten is to eliminate all wheat and gluten products from your diet for three weeks.

An easier way is to take a food sensitivity lab test.

Want to prevent premature skin aging? Touch your nose!
Ok-I want you to touch your nose right now to see if it is cold. If it is -you have poor circulation and poor blood flow in your face. That’s not good!

if you want to take in skin regenerative nutrients to your complexion you have to have good blood flow there.
This is a great way to find out how well your circulation is. Try this anytime- in summer and winter. We often will have poor blood flow if we have low thyroid conditions, poor nutrition, or when we don’t move enough.
To find out more info on slowing the aging process email me at the link above for a personal consultation.. Be well, Linda

Vibrant Health Over 40: Quick Asian-inspired Turkey Salad with ingredients already in your fridge!

So many people make costly health mistakes because they don’t have anything healthy on hand to eat.

But it is easy when you have all the basic condiments already in your fridge. That way it is effortless to make many healthy and quick meals without even planning.

The basic condiments here are:
extra virgin coconut oil, gluten-free tamari (or coconut aminos); toasted sesame oil, fish sauce, apple cider vinegar (with the mother), red pepper flakes, limes or lemons and garlic. If you have these ingredients on hand you can make many Asian-inspired dishes.

Then -when you are grocery shopping you can buy a couple of ground meat packages to have on hand. They can be organic ground chicken, turkey, grass fed beef, buffalo, elk, etc.

I made this health-and energy promoting dish in less than 10 minutes.

1. Just sauté on medium heat -1 pound of ground meat in coconut oil (stir often) with 4 garlic cloves,
a couple shakes of fish sauce, a sprinkling of red pepper flakes, and a squeeze of lime.

2. When that is browning you can put together a quick salad. I used organic romaine lettuce, dandelion leaves, some scallions, yellow bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, shredded beets, and shredded carrots. Any veggies you have in your fridge will do though.

3. Then when the turkey is browned just sprinkle some turkey over your salad.

4. Pour some tamari, sesame oil, and some apple cider vinegar to taste on top of your salad- mix well.
You can also add some sprouted basmati brown rice or quinoa to make it a more filling low carb meal for dinner.

See- healthy and delicious eating is easier and quicker than you think!

Vibrant Health Over Forty: Bread -Free Lunch Ideas.

One great way to sustain good health as we age is to limit bread consumption.
Bread raises blood sugar, is inflammatory, and has anti-nutrients that block nutrient absorption.

Why not use those large summer heirloom tomatoes as a bread substitute? Tomatoes are highly nutritious and delicious!

Today I made a quick skipjack tuna salad and placed it on tomato slices. Skip jack tuna is a smaller tuna that does not have the mercury/PCB load that other larger tunas have, And it has wonderful omega-3 fats.
Ingredients:
1. 5 oz. can Skip jack tuna
2. Olive oil to taste- healthier than Mayo
3. 6 olives- sliced
4. 1/2 onion chopped
5. 1 celery stick chopped
6. 2-4 Tbsp capers
7. Himalayan salt and pepper to taste
Mix it up and place on sliced tomatoes,and you’re good to go for a quick, delicious, incredibly healthy and easy lunch. I ate the whole large tomato today- about 4 slices- And used up all the tuna.
You can prepare the tuna salad ahead of time and bring the tomato and slice it when you’re ready to top it. Enjoy.
Be Well,
Linda

Wellness Over 40: Don’t make the perfect be the enemy of the good! Cut yourself some slack- you don’t have to have perfect health habits just some good ones!

1. If you’re feeling too lazy to go to the gym, just go out your front door and take a brisk walk.A lot of people don’t like the gym anyway-including myself. Just walk and breath the fresh air and the wonderful scents of nature!

2. If you’re too tired to take a brisk walk, then lift some small weights or cans while you’re watching TV.

3. If you just don’t have enough time or energy to make a good salad, just grab some celery and carrots, and eat them uncut instead.

4. If you feel like having some treats at night, grab yourself some unsweetened chocolate or some berries in coconut milk or yogurt. They’re still healthy-but you get to munch on something yummy.

The point I’m making here is that perfection is unattainable and not sustainable.

Even us health experts aren’t doing it perfectly. We all have highs and lows.

The best thing you can do is accept yourself no matter what (radical self-acceptance), and just do what you can do at the moment. And if you screw up-Forgive yourself and start over tomorrow.

And by the way self- love and self-acceptance keep your stress levels low, and your immune system strong-another reason to accept your weaknesses and shortcomings!

Be Well,
Linda

Wellness Over 50: Which activity is necessary to achieve it? (Pick only one)

A. if you picked eating complete protein three times a day -you are correct!. As we age our protein needs increase, And protein is so important for blood sugar control, detox, immunity, strong bones, skin and joints; and making neurotransmitters/ hormones. The rest of the choices are non-important. Be careful about nutrition misinformation

B. Calorie restriction for longevity has been debunked. Most centenarians are of average weight.

C. Clean animal protein is very nutrient-dense; which is important for optimal aging.

D. Many people think that eating trendy Superfoods is a replacement for following the more important health guidelines.

Pandemic Burnout Self-Care Recipe

We’ve all been through a lot this year- and many of us have reached a level of burnout that is starting to effect our health.

When we are stressed it is more important than ever to take care of our health because the high stress demands use up much of our precious nutrient stores-often leaving us depleted when we need these nutrients the most.

The three nutrients that become depleted during chronic stress are:
• B-vitamins (high in organic nutritional yeast)
• Vitamin C (high in citrus, strawberries, red peppers
•Magnesium (high in leafy greens and sea w**d)

Put these in your stress self-care arsenal and you will be no worse for the wear.

And a little self-love, fresh air and fun will carry you through even the hardest challenge!
Take Care,
Linda

You Can Slow Breast Sagging
You CAN keep your breasts healthy and firm simply by boosting your breast ligament’s elasticity.

Just as your skin can lose elasticity with time, so can your breast tissue. Working from within the body is really the best way to boost skin and breast ligament elasticity.

1. First and foremost you need to eat a protein rich diet to build collagen. Eat clean high quality protein and fatty fish 3 times a day

2. Drink lots of water to increase skin hydration.

3. Exercise regularly to boost blood circulation and improve the metabolism of your skin cells.

4. Sleep 7 to 8 hours to support body and skin repair.

5. Eat an antioxidant- rich diet: unsweetened cocoa/chocolate, green tea, cinnamon, greens, citrus, broccoli

6. Phytoestrogens: Tempeh, dandelion leaf, fennel bulb, flax seed, red clover tea

7..Hyaluronic acid: bone stock/broth

8. Vitamin C with Bioflavonoids

It really just comes down to following a healthy diet and lifestyle when it comes to delaying the visible signs of aging.
Love your breasts at every age! Linda
