We all know by now that we should be eating at least five servings of fruits and vegetables each day. But knowing and doing are two different things, aren’t they? Sometimes it is just not easy to get them all in there. We are constantly tempted to fill up on convenience and junk food. If your family is anything like mine, they’d much rather fill up on a bag of chips or a bowl of rice or pasta instead of trying an apple or a plate of steamed broccoli. So we’ll have to get creative. Here are a few
You may have read a new nutritional guidebook called "The China Study," by T. Colin Campbell, PhD and Thomas M. Campbell II. In that book, which emphasizes the health benefits of a supplement free vegetarian diet, you will find these three principles:
Optimal nutrition is based on eating food rather than swallowing nutrient supplements.
The closer that foods are to their native states (how they are at the peak of harvest freshness), prepared with minimal cooking, salt and processing, the great
If you think your beloved and trusty slow-cooker is only good for slow braising meats and simmering soups and stews while you’re at work, you are sorely mistaken.
In fact, a variety of foods can be made low and slow in your favorite kitchen appliance. Everything from candy to cakes to buffalo wings — slow-cookers can do it all. Granted, it’s not a fast process, but using a slow-cooker is nearly foolproof, and it keeps your hands free to do whatever else you need to do.
The slow-cooker is espec
Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, 20 for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (NLT)
And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice – the kind he will find acceptable. Romans 12:1-2
“Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God?….” 1 Corinthians 6:19
This verse is a reminder that God’s Spirit, the Holy Spirit, dwells in us. This verse is a reason for believers of Jesus to take care of our bodies, as it should be.
But, how many of us are mindful of the next verse that Paul writes…

The immune system is the body defense system that defends against infectious microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses. It responds by attacking the organisms that tend to invade the body and cause diseases. However, at times, due to various reasons, the system gets overpowered, and the microorganisms will invade the body and make it sick. They also destroy the white blood cells in the body, hence making the body susceptible to various other diseases if one is not tr

Cola Pettiford is the owner of We Got Soul, a soul food restaurant located in Stone Mountain, Georgia that offers southern cooking at its best. “If you’re looking for a place that has delicious down-home cooking, excellent customer service with a smile, all at a great price, you’ve found it,” says Pettiford, who opened the restaurant because there was no other place nearby that sold down home cooking she liked to eat.
Here, Pettiford shares what it’s like to be a le
Dinner platters combine a large portion of a protein, in this case grilled wild caught salmon, with a choice of several seasonal veggies (fresh grilled asparagus), grain (Mediterranean quinoa salad) and a sauce (yogurt herb) all prepared in two minutes and drive-thru ready.

Eating pork produces scrofula, leprosy, & cancer. CD 393. Do you know what scrofula is? It is sometimes referred to as “The King’s Disease or the King’s Evil”. Scrofula is a form of tuberculosis affecting the lymphnodes, especially of the neck. In old times Kings would get this disease in the lymph nodes because they were eating lots of pork!

Chocolate lovers know that each piece they eat — of the dark stuff — might be making them smarter.
There are two kinds of people in life, those who love chocolate and those who don’t really care for the rich, deep flavors of this sultry dessert. (We don’t really trust the latter, BTW.) Anything in between doesn’t exist.
Chocolate has the unique power of turning a bad day around, of putting a skip in your step, of making you feel special even if you know you’re perfectly ordinary. In other wo

We believe strongly that “putting an egg on it” transforms almost anything into a meal. But lately we’ve turned our attention away from our beloved olive oil-fried egg and toward a soft sunny scramble.
I know what you’re thinking: Do I really need a recipe for scrambled eggs? If you just want a plate of scrambled eggs, no. But if you want uniformly golden, soft on the verge of custardy, scrambled eggs, then yes.
Look, these eggs did not happen over night. I went through dozens and dozens to
A new study finds that following the Mediterranean diet could add about 4.5 years to your life. Researchers found that the diet, which focuses on fruits, veggies, whole grains, and olive oil, is good for our DNA, the New York Times reports. Nearly 4,700 women were followed for more than 20 years, and those whose diets were more similar to the Mediterranean diet had longer telomeres—protective structures found on the ends of chromosomes that “are often compared to the plastic caps that preven
This is a detailed meal plan for the Mediterranean Diet. Foods to eat, foods to avoid and a sample Mediterranean menu for one week.
The Mediterranean diet is based on the traditional foods that people used to eat in Mediterranean countries like Italy and Greece back in the year 1960.
Researchers noted that these people were exceptionally healthy compared to Americans and had a low risk of many killer diseases.
Numerous studies have now shown that the Mediterranean diet can ca
