Lunch, the all-time most important meal of the day for us

Lunch, the all-time most important meal of the day for us

Examining the science (and biological reasoning) behind our meal times and why lunch is the most crucial time of the day to eat

First things first, let's debunk the tales about breakfast

Contrary to what the food industry publishers are paid to report, breakfast is definitely not (and should not ever be considered) the most important meal of the day.  If you're anything like us, the majority of human beings, take a moment to think about a typical morning for yourself and your body.  What's the first thing you usually do when you wake up, use the restroom, right?  Point being (and we'll go in to further detail about breakfast in a future article about dietary nutrition), your body does not want to be burdened with digesting loads of foods during the waking, morning hours as it is instead focused on flushing wastes from your body to prepare you for the full day ahead.  So, don't believe the nonsense that the bacon and egg (and high-cholesterol drug) pushers are soliciting, breakfast is a horrible time of day for you to eat heavy.  Period.

Life-Changing Foods for your book reading (and grocery) list

Lots of love and appreciation for Medical Medium Life-Changing Foods: Save Yourself and the Ones You Love with the Hidden Healing Powers of Fruits & Vegetables

Life-Changing Foods: Book Review

Featuring another life-changing book for you to add to your reading list, Life-Changing Foods: Save Yourself and the Ones You Love with the Hidden Healing Powers of Fruits & Vegetables, written by the New York Time's bestseller author Anthony William of Medical Medium.  This self-health book is chock-full of highly informative (and especially insightful) material about a handful of healing fruits, vegetables, herbs and spices that a majority of us have readily available at our local neighborhood grocery stores and farmer's markets. I am completely in love with the knowledge that is relayed in Life-Changing Foods, reconfirming my belief in the true healing powers of our food as our natural medicine.

How's your chewing when you're eating?

How's your chewing when you're eating?

Being mindful about your chewing to improve digestion (while promoting weight loss)

A topic covered by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh in his book, How To Eat, chewing mindfully is a necessary aspect of eating for both proper digestion and nutrition (and assimilation) purposes.  With our allegedly fast paced lifestyle, some of us may have grown accustomed to disregard our chewing while we eat but this is truly no task that we want to skip out on.  When we chew our foods more fully, we promote for better digestion while we obtain those meant-to-be merry feelings of satisfaction from our meals and encourage natural weight loss from our bodies.  If we don’t chew right (and, in turn, digest our foods) we are left with masses of UNDIGESTED food particles that are dispersed throughout our bodies, making us feel and look bloated and/or pudgy.

Don't be scurred of complex carbohydrates 👻

Uncovering the truth about complex carbohydrates to help you eat right (while simultaneously losing weight)

This article goes out to all of my fellow brothers and sisters who are still limiting the amount of carbohydrates that they eat with every meal.  Trust me, I know how you must feel -- I lived for years upon years refusing to eat rice or potatoes with my meals, just ordering "protein" and asking for no rice while I watched my family and friends next to me enjoying the rice and potatoes that they carelessly ordered.  Well, that was then and, now, I eat complex carbohydrates literally with each and every meal.

The China Study, a recommended read for everyone

The China Study, a recommended read for everyone

A look at The China Study: The Most Comprehensive Study of Nutrition Ever Conducted And the Startling Implications for Diet, Weight Loss, And Long-term Health

The China Study: Feedback & Review

One of my all time favorite books to date, full of factual information (that's actually backed by non-biased, scientific research) about dietary nutrition, self-health practices and human biology and anatomy.  The China Study is one of the first books ever to be published that reveals the truths about what we should be eating as human beings in order to live our lives as healthy as humanly possible.  This book truly served as a huge eye-opener for me, uncovering a lot of the (hidden) facts about nutrition and human health in general, helping me to lose more weight while also living my life in a more conscious way.  From the first few sentences of the first introduction chapter, I was fully engaged and had to read on to discover more of.. the real truth about dietary nutrition. This book may literally save your life.
