Juicing Recipes - Ultimate Juice Recipe Resouce

Once upon a time (May – August 2013), I did an elimination diet that had me eating, oh, maybe 20 different foods. I thought if I changed my diet and only ate nutritious, whole foods and avoided the ones that I had sensitivities to, my UC symptoms would get better. Unfortunately, these diet changes did absolutely nothing (if anything I got worse), but I discovered some new-to-me foods and ways to cook them that are actually quite delicious, including roasted fennel, which is still a favorite. I actually geek-out when I see it on the Whole Foods salad bar. Ha! Anyway, a DTFN client and I were recently chatting about fennel (I love my job), so I decided to create a tasty side dish for our database. I came up with Parmesan Roasted Fennel, which is super easy to make and, holy cow, delicious. I mean, everything tastes better with a little cheese, right? I hope you guys enjoy this recipe! Ingredients : 2 large fennel bulbs (approx. 20 ounces) 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 1...

Autoimmune diseases really throw the body for a loop. You’re attacking your own tissues. Your inflammation is sky high. What’s usually good for you—like boosting the immune system—can make it worse. You’ll often restrict eating certain foods that, on paper, appear healthy and nutrient-dense. You take nothing for granted, measure and consider everything before eating or doing it. Sometimes it feels like almost everything has the potential to be a trigger. Is it true for exercise, too? Must people with autoimmune diseases also change how they train? First things first, exercise  can help. You just have to do it right, or risk incurring the negative effects. Don’t overtrain . Most autoimmune diseases are characterized by chronic inflammation. Anything that increases that inflammatory load, like too much exercise, will contribute. Overtraining—stressful exercise that you fail to recover from before exercising again—will increase your stress load and increase autoimmune symptoms . ...

Remember  five years ago,  when I was making waffle stacks for breakfast? I recently passed by some waffles in the grocery store and thought maybe Mazen would like them. Of course he doesn’t (he is so weird!), so I’ve been eating them instead. Instead of a stack, I made a more portable sandwich filled with a peanut butter “frosting”. It was darn good! I used these waffles: I mixed in some peanut butter powder with Greek yogurt to make the thick, flavored frosting. Peanut Butter & Co sent me this back in the fall and it’s taken me a while to try it, but now that I have, I’m using it on everything! Obviously I am not afraid of the fat in regular peanut butter. I like that the ingredient list on this is simple, and you can much more easily stir some powder into yogurt or a smoothie than you can thick, sticky peanut butter. So it’s been great for flavor. In fact, it makes the  perfect ingredient to sprinkle into overnight oats! And I love the hint of ...

I love making these sorts of recipes for dinner. They are simple, nutritious and easy to make. This dish is no exception. You make this all in one large skillet, and before you know it, you have a… Read more → from The Gracious Pantry http://ift.tt/2mvsAxe

A few years ago, I  wrote a long post listing cosmetics, soaps, and other personal products made with healthy, non-toxic ingredients . It’s a sad thing when you basically have to assume the worst about the average product designed to be slathered all over the largest organ of your body—your skin . But that’s the situation in which we find ourselves now. Today’s post is an update of sorts. What products am I using? Which ones have I used? And are there any others that I can safely recommend? It won’t be as comprehensive as the last one. It will be more personal. In fact, let’s just go through an average day and week of personal product use. I’m pretty spartan, as you’ll see. I’ll also include other products I like (but might not always use) where applicable. I wake up and brush my teeth. I don’t use toothpaste usually, just a swish of hydrogen peroxide while brushing . For guests and those times I do feel like toothpaste, I’ll use something like Squigle Tooth Bui...

Hi, guys! Happy Hump Day! Here’s the next edition of Monday In Meals , which just happens to be a “special” edition because I didn’t have much food prepped and ready to go this week. I was out-of-town and didn’t get my act together until late in the day on Monday… well, yesterday… sort of. I’m leaving for San Diego tomorrow afternoon, so I only did a little prep because I’m fairly positive Mal and Quinn will order food/wing it/not eat while I’m away. Anyway, here’s a recap of what I ate throughout the day on Monday when I didn’t meal prep. I also include some staples that I like to have in my kitchen when I’m unprepared and need a healthy meal ASAP! Would love to hear your favorites, too! Breakfast : Scrambled eggs with leftover broccoli rice + iced coffee mixed with Dandy Blend , coconut creamer, and collagen  + half of a glazed donut Snack : Bread from Not Your Average Joe’s with dipping oil Lunch : Thinly-sliced beef  with bacon, roasted sweet potatoes, brocco...

Written By: Kevin Cann I was having a conversation with some of my co-workers, teammates, and training partners at Total Performance Sports last week. All of my training partners are multi-ply powerlifters that follow some type of Westside Barbell program. If you have not heard of Westside Barbell, a simple Google search will show a lot. There is even a documentary titled “Westside vs the World” coming to theaters. This gym is home to some of the strongest men and women to ever step foot onto a platform. Even with this success, they still have enough haters out there that they feel they need to a title a documentary “Westside vs the World.” I am a raw powerlifter that is coached by Boris Sheiko. Boris Sheiko is known for his success as a powerlifting coach in Russia, accumulating over 40 gold medals in the sport. His programs are well known for the high total amounts of volume in the competition lifts and competition lift variations. One of the coaches was describing the differenc...
