Sweet potatoes are a sweet, starchy root vegetable that comes in different sizes and colors including orange, white, and purple. All varieties are nutritious, loaded with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fiber. The antioxidants and fiber in particular promote the growth of good bacteria that contributes to a healthy gut. The gut is where your body is exposed to many potential disease-causing pathogens so it’s an important part of a healthy immune system.
Sweet potatoes can be prepared for savory and sweet dishes, making it a versatile veggie. They can be enjoyed with or without the skin and can be mashed, baked, boiled, roasted, fried, steamed, or pan-cooked. Because of their natural sweetness, some people puree it to add to baked goods. ... See MoreSee Less

It’s no secret that our diet can impact our health. Food as medicine, also known as “food is medicine” is defined as a therapeutic method in which food and nutrition are used in the prevention and treatment of some chronic diseases. The concept is simple—by making improvements to the quality of your diet, you can improve the quality of your life by reducing your symptoms. The eating plan is mostly based on a variety of minimally processed vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds.
Tufts University researchers have recently published a report with impressive findings. They concluded integrating food-based nutrition interventions into healthcare systems to prevent or treat chronic diet-related illnesses—could prevent nearly 300,000 cardiovascular events and 1.6 million hospitalizations a year at a savings of $13.6 billion dollars in healthcare costs. ...

Self-massage is an important fitness component to help decrease muscle soreness, increase range of motion and reduce the risk of injury. It’s easy to add into your warm up, cool down or on a recovery day. The overall goal is to get a myofascial release to restore the bodies full range of motion and be in its optimal performance.
You can pinpoint and massage areas of soreness with your fingers or use tools such as foam rollers and tennis balls to roll and apply pressure. The pressure helps soften the muscles and increase circulation. It also forces blood, lymph & toxins out of the muscle tissues, allowing in a fresh blood supply with oxygen and nutrients to replenish the muscles. Rolling techniques can be researched for specific areas or you can schedule an appointment with a personal trainer to show you. Either way—Be sure to drink plenty of water to help flush out the body! ... See MoreSee Less

Fall recipe: Roasted Butternut Squash Soup
Ingredients:
* 3 lb roasted butternut squash
* 2 tbsp butter or olive oil
* 1.5 cups chopped yellow onion
* 1/4 tsp salt
* 1/8 tsp black pepper
* 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
* 6 cups vegetable or chicken broth
* Optional garnishes: drizzle of heavy cream, coconut milk, toasted pumpkin seeds.
Directions:
Cut the squash into small cubes & roast on a sheet pan until the cubes are caramelized and soft. Roasting intensifies the natural sweetness and flavor so you won’t need to add a sweetener. In a large pot, combine butter or olive oil, chopped yellow onion, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 10 minutes over medium heat, until the onion is soft. Add the roasted squash cubes to the pot along with the cinnamon, stirring for a couple minutes until the cinnamon is fragrant. Then add the broth & bring the soup to a boil, and simmer for 2 minutes. Turn off the heat & let the soup cool slightly and blend the soup with an immersion blender or in a regular blender. Now it’s ready to serve with your favorite garnish! ... See MoreSee Less

For centuries, people have used Epsom salt baths to help with muscle pain, stress, and other problems. While no clinical trials have confirmed the benefits of Epsom salt, many trainers promote it for its ease of use and positive feedback.
When placed in warm water, Epsom salt breaks down into magnesium and sulfate. The theory is that when you soak in an Epsom salt bath, these minerals get absorbed into your body through the skin. This may help relax muscles, reduce swelling and pain and aid in muscle recovery. Although, just soaking in warm water can also help relax muscles and loosen stiff joints.
The Epsom Salt Council (Yeah, that’s a thing) recommends pouring 1 to 2 cups of Epsom salt into your bathtub while it fills up with warm water. It suggests soaking in an Epsom salt bath for at least 10 to 15 minutes to reap the potential benefits. But there's no official recommendation for how often you should take an Epsom salt bath. Remember to listen to your body & discuss it with your healthcare provider. ... See MoreSee Less

The seasonal transition of shorter days and cooler weather can have an impact on your overall well being. Here are some ideas for a healthy Autumn season!
🍁 Reduce the chances of getting colds by maintaining good hand washing hygiene, getting outdoors for fresh air and boost your immune system with healthy foods.
🍂 Buy in-season food. Seasonal fruits and vegetables are not only fresher and tastier, but they're also more nutrient-dense than out-of-season produce. Autumn fruits and veggies include apples, pears, pumpkins, squash, sweet potatoes, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, carrots, cauliflower, grapes, and dark leafy greens. Incorporating these into your diet can boost your intake of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
🍁Embrace the slower pace of Autumn by making lifestyle changes or spending more time with friends and family. It’s also a good time to volunteer and give back to the community to help feel connected to others. ... See MoreSee Less
