With the month of Ramadan around the corner, I like to take this opportunity to begin brainstorming on how I can create meals that will sustain my energy levels throughout the day.

Suhoor is an essential part of this month as it helps us to sustain our energy and focus .

Make sure to always include fat and protein for sustainable energy. Eggs, oatmeal, yogurt, fool, nuts and cheese are great choices!

Not forgetting Suhoor is recommended by the Prophet (SAWA), and for a good reason!

Eat Mindfully!

Want to know how to diversify your nutrient profile?

Assess at every meal when you look down at your plate and see different colors?

Change the colors with every meal to get a variety of nutrients and disease fighting properties!

Try new colors every week when shopping for fruits and vegetables!

EAT THE RAINBOW !

You don’t need a 5 star restaurant to treat yourself to fancy food!
Make an easy salad tossed with mixed greens, topped with roasted beets and sprinkled with raspberries 😊
Making foods aesthetically pleasing brings food enjoyment to another level!
Try including beets more often in your meals as they are highly nutritious and delicious 😋

They can support the health of your brain, heart, and digestive system, be a great addition to a balanced diet, boost athletic performance, help alleviate inflammation, and possibly slow the growth of cancer cells.
Enjoy 😉 Happy National Nutrition Month!!

March is National Nutrition Month!
I love to take this opportunity as a reminder of how crucial it is to live a healthy lifestyle, remembering prevention is easier than disease management!
Eat mindfully! Live mindfully!

Did you know that 80 percent of people are magnesium deficient?

Magnesium is found in a wide variety of foods such as nuts, seeds, fruits, whole grains, beans and legumes. So why are so many people deficient?

Soil depletion, GMOs, and the chemicals in our foods are a recipe for disaster! Not to forget chronic diseases, digestive diseases and medication use is at an all-time high!

Magnesium is arguably the most important mineral in the body! Not only does it help to regulate sodium, potassium and calcium, but it’s essential for cellular health and a critical component of over 300 biochemical functions in our bodies.

I believe in food over supplements, but Unfortunately in the modern world we live in today supplements are needed sometimes! When I feel leg cramps, muscle pain or need a little help sleeping, this magnesium oil works like magic!!

It passes through the skin and into your body and you’ll feel the difference immediately!

Nutrition recommendations for fish is 8 ounces a week. Wednesday is fish night at my house, and I just love playing around with different recipes I come up with!!
Try to dedicate 2 days a week to eating fish as the benefits of Omega 3 fatty acids are essential to optimal health! Fish is so quick to cook which makes it perfect for our non-stop schedules!!

Wednesdays and Saturdays are my fish days, do you dedicate specific days to eat seafood?

Who said eggplant Parmesan needs to be deep fried??
