Home IS Health
I recently went through a bit of an unhealthy siege. In part due to a virus combined with a negative reaction from an antibiotic and the other part stress. I am feeling great now, but it renewed my interest in a healthy lifestyle.
According to the Cleveland Clinic--Go Green. Whole grains, green vegetables and removing sugar from your diet reduces inflammation in your body and decreases the triggers for disease. Get rid of the "white" in your diet, for example, white rice, bread, and cut down on dairy products. I reviewed numerous diabetic recipes and Mediterranean diet recipes and you do not have to give up flavor to enjoy a healthy diet. The idea is an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cures.
As Fall turns into blustery winter-like days there is nothing more energizing that squash dishes. The Pioneer Woman has a host of delicious recipes for cold overcast days. With a few modifications you can swap out the sugar for Agave syrup and enjoy Spaghetti Squash with Shallots and Maple Syrup.
Here are some links to interesting and delicious healthy recipes:
