When faced with food that may have little nutritional value or taste try flavoring it with Oregano for added benefits.
To meat or not to meat...
Last week (November 2022) a whole semi load of turkeys, 900 I was told, was delivered to an entire community in need. As I observed the cars line up and down the streets and the joy of the delivery people it made me think…
So often in my profession I hear “eat this protein, eat that protein” Instead what if we started our protein conversation with “I’m so grateful I get to eat” and then (if possible), move into to; “what protein is the best for my body” & “how does this protein make me feel”?
Maybe then yogi’s and hunters could get along?
Raw meat/eggs, pea and rice, venison and buffalo, wild caught salmon and more all have had their waves of fad protein since I’ve been a doctor. Soon it will be cricket so maybe we should be happy with the tofurkey!
Whatever protein you chose this Thanksgiving may it be delightful and joyous
Feed Your Immune System
Let’s think of our immune systems as our body’s military. The White Blood Cells are our troops and there are many different kinds with various roles. Mostly they are to protect us. They get deployed throughout our bodies to parole a situation or fight a good fight depending on the situation and what they find.
We want healthy troops (White blood cells) with lots of energy ready to deploy, if needed. Therefore we don’t want to over use our troops, overactive them, or let them get out of shape. Some nutrients, herbs, or lack of can yield imbalanced effects on our troops (White blood cells) and our whole Military (Immune system).
So which are the most important?
