These figs are from my tree. There have never been as many figs as I have had this year and they are the biggest figs I’ve ever seen. A few are the size of my palm.⁣ ⁣ Fresh figs are SO good😋😋 ⁣ Figs are high in minerals including: potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron and cooper. Figs are a good source of antioxidants. They are high in fiber and are a prebiotic, meaning they feed the good bacteria in your gut. ⁣ ⁣ Figs are also high in natural sugar and because of the fiber the sugar goes through your system at a slower rate. Though sugar is sugar even though it’s from fruit. ⁣ ⁣ Figs are healthy, though limit your intake of them as they can spike your blood sugar because of their high sugar content. Keeping your blood sugar levels under control can help keep you healthy and prevent health problems from happening later. ⁣ ⁣ Double tap if you like Fresh Figs 😋😋
I love grilling, especially veggies. Here is grilled London Broil, onions, and colored peppers. With a side salad of homegrown broccoli sprouts with lemon olive oil and fig balsamic vinegar.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Because of the issue with my autoimmune system I’ve been working to get in as much color and variety into my diet as possible, in order to heal my gut. ⁣ ⁣ I’m sure you’ve heard the saying You are what you eat. Though really it is you are what you absorb. If your gut is not functioning properly you may not be absorbing nutrients. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣ Eat as much variety and color as you can get in your diet on a daily basis. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣ What are your favorite summertime foods?
Psst... See this guy behind me? He’s really dehydrated! 😱. Don’t let this happen to you!⁣ ⁣ As the temps rise it’s really important to stay hydrated. Water is important to staying healthy, your body depends on water to survive. Every cell, tissue and organ in your body needs water to work properly. Your body uses water to maintain its temperature, remove waste and lubricants your joints. ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ It’s best to aim for 6-8 8 ounce glasses a day and drink those glasses of water through out the day. ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ To tell if you are well hydrated check your urine, if it’s light yellow or colorless, you are well hydrated. If your urine is dark yellow or amber color, you may be dehydrated. ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ Water can also be found in fruits and vegetables and even soups and broth. ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ You can get water intake from tea and coffee, though limit you intake of both as to much caffeine causes dehydration. ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ If you. exercise or work in the yard, or are just spending more time outside, make sure you up your water intake.⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ What are some of your favorite ways to stay Hydrated in the summer?⁣⁣⁣
Sleep MUST be non-negotiable. Sleep is one of the most important things you can do for your health. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Sleep is important to a number of brain functions, including how nerve cells communicate with each other. Research shows that chronic lack of sleep, or getting poor quality sleep, increases the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, depression and weight gain. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣ I had struggled with insomnia since I got divorced almost 5 years ago. At one point I was only getting about 3 hours of sleep a night. I was miserable couldn’t concentrate, felt depressed, lack of energy and the worst thing was I lost most of my eyebrows. I could hide the inner stuff, but couldn’t hide the fact that my eyebrows were so sparse. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣ I started doing everything I could to get better sleep, it was mostly through supplementation that helped. More about that in another post. ⁣ ⁣ Recently the stress in my life has caused me to lose sleep and this time it flared up my autoimmune system. ⁣ ⁣ I have learned so much about how sleep affects our health. My 1st priority in the past month is getting back to 7-8 hours of sleep a night. ⁣⁣ ⁣ I’m taking supplements that helped in the past, reducing my stress by doing yoga and deep breathing, moving my cell phone to the otherwise of my bed room, making sure my room is dark and the temp is cool. I also limit my alcohol, it got to sleep fine, just woke at 2am and couldn’t get back to sleep. And I do my best to stay off my cell phone (not always easy) and my computer right before bed, the light excite the brain. ⁣⁣ ⁣ While you sleep your body is hard at work repairing damage caused by stress and other harmful exposures. Your cells produce more protein while you sleep and they form the building blocks for cells, allowing them to repair damage.⁣⁣ ⁣ Sleep reduces stress, reduces inflammation, makes you more alert, keeps your heart healthy, improves your memory helps with weight loss and a slew of other health benefits. ⁣ ⁣ This week I challenge you to go to bed 1/2 hour earlier than normal. See what happens when you get more sleep after 1 week. ⁣
This is my version of a tostada. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ The tostada shell is actually a thin sliced round of jicama, topped with diced ribeye steak seasoned with #traderjoes taco seasoning, diced tomatoes and onions and home grown broccoli sprouts. Then Drizzled with #traderjoes Jalepeno sauce 😋😋⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Jicama is my new favorite veggie, it has such a nice crunch. You can use it in most any recipe where you want more crunch. I put it in salads, stir fries and I use for dips instead of chips. It’s also a great pre-biotic; meaning it feeds the healthy bacteria in your gut. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ The broccoli sprouts are another new favorite of mine, they taste great and have a lot of health benefits; they may fight or prevent cancer, supports strong bones, they detoxify the body, they are anti-inflammatory, anti aging, they aid in digestion and they improve heart health. ⁣ ⁣ What are your favorite veggies?
