With fall finally here, it's beneficial to know which vegetables are in their prime. After all, in-season produce is always the freshest and most nutritious. Personally, I always try to eat in-season produce, but supermarkets don't seem to know the meaning of this (tomatoes in winter, anyone?).To really connect with the season of fall, here are five vegetables you should put on your plate this autumn.
For those among us having many irons in the fire, meal preparation may be a dream as opposed to a reality these days. But it doesn’t always have to be the case. If healthiness is your priority, you might just have to find a way to make nutritious foods yourself – a task often easier said than done.
Below is a quick recipe for the super-busy person, who also wishes to be super-healthy.
Let us take a look at what it has to offer you and how to prepare it now.
Our liver is a key player in the digestive system of our body and is a vital organ that we cannot live without. Everything that we drink and eat, including medicine, passes through our liver. Our liver is the second largest organ in our body, next to the skin.
It filters chemicals such as alcohol and drugs from the blood, as well as regulates our hormones and sugar levels. It creates bile, blood proteins, and numerous enzymes, which the body needs. Moreover, it stores energy from the nutrients one takes in.
Today, thick, natural eyebrows are among the most highly coveted traits seen on models and celebrities. But this is a newer trend – I spent my formative years destroying my own gorgeous brows with a pair of tweezers, trying to shape them into the perfect arcs I saw on the models.
Blueberry pancakes are a classic that many of us grow up enjoying, but probably don’t make for ourselves very often. Revisit this delicious breakfast meal with a vegan twist! These pancakes are egg-less, thanks to a banana substitute which also adds a bit of natural sweetness, cutting out some of the sugar that would traditionally be used. The blueberries and lemon create a flavorful combination, with the lemon bringing out the slight tartness of the blueberries. Top the pancakes with powdered sugar, fruit or your favorite syrup!
Ingredients:
Why is it that pregnant women are revered and taken special care of, whereas as soon as the baby is born, the new mother is left to adjust to motherhood while all of the focus shifts to the new infant?
When I first started practicing yoga, I was driven by both spiritual and emotional factors, but I also wasn’t getting any younger and felt the need to do what I could to maintain my physical body.
I had no idea how deep the practices would take me! Not only would they offer the realization that I was more than the physical, and that the physical body was a temple, they would also purify, rejuvenate and beautify this sacred vessel.
From this came the desire to care deeply for this temple my soul had been given and to make this devotion part of my daily yoga routine.
I never thought I would juice radishes…but here I am, juicing radishes.
To me, radish is like the outcast of the vegetable family. You only really use it to garnish things. It’s not like we’re making radish soup or radish slaw…We sprinkle radishes in at the end because of their super strong and bitter taste. For this reason, I knew I could only put a few radishes into my juice; I didn’t want to blow my taste buds off.
If you thought chocolate was good, it is, and in more ways than one. Adding it to your beauty repertoire can give your skin a vitality boost…
