It is always great to have a goal in mind whether that goal is to be able to surpass a personal best at a particular exercise, or if it is to traverse a great distance across this great planet. Whatever that goal is, there is one little thing that you need to do to ensure that you are able to reach that goal–eat for it. Many people that decide that they want to be able to bench press 300-pounds, or want to run a 5k marathon do not seem to take into account the food that they are…

If you are a chocolate lover like me but still value health, then you will need to try a rejuvenating cacao nibs smoothie. A healthy taste of chocolate can accompany health as a priority. Cacao goes well with most smoothie ingredients, but for me it goes superbly with chocolate protein powders, bananas, berries of all kinds, coconut products, vanilla, and honey. Cacao in nibs form are the new ideal addition to your most breakfast recipes because they’re not that sweet and add uniqueness to our daily eating routine.

When it comes to breakfast food or a great snack, berries are a healthy choice. They are loaded with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, but their organic acids are what are going to help our liver. We have all experienced the tart taste of berries, and this is believed to be responsible for helping to lower blood sugar levels, fat burning and cleansing our liver.

We’ve known for a long time that a high salt diet is a risk factor for high blood pressure and heart disease. New research suggests it increases our risk of brittle bones as well.

In addition to being delicious, foods like cherries, coconut, beans and peppermint have healing properties that can soothe achy joints, sore muscles, and even aid in heartburn. These foods can be just as effective as medications such as aspirin and ibuprofen and are extremely healthy for you without having any harmful side effects, not to mention being completely delicious. Having a diet that is high in foods that have healing capabilities can help reduce or even cure the underlining problem causing pain.

Our bodies have the ability to regenerate from almost any physical condition, if we give our cells what they need! One of the key components to keep a cell healthy is ‘right’ nutrition. What is right nutrition? Our cells require proteins, minerals, essential fatty acids, enzymes, etc. to optimize.

There is nothing more delicious than some juicy, tender meat fresh from the grill, but getting hold of the most tender cuts can cost a small fortune. While buying poor quality meat is never going to work out well for you, buying meat that would, on its own, come out just a little tough and using a tenderizer can make for savings as well as a great meal. There are a number of ways to tenderize meat, including of course the classic ‘beating it up with a mallet’ method, however marinating is the best option because it also makes the meat tastier, juicier, and healthier because it prevents the formation of HCAs which are believed to be a carcinogen when the meat is cooked.

There are lots of unpleasant symptoms to poor digestion, particularly if you eat a lot of meat. As the meat is broken down in the stomach and gut, flatulence inducing gases are produced, leading to unpleasant and embarrassing wind problems. Additionally, things like irritable bowel syndrome and even malnutrition have been associated with poor digestion.

There is a lot of buzz in the world of diet and nutrition about super foods. These natural foods are reported to have all kinds of amazing properties, including the ability to help you look younger or even prevent cancer. The majority of super foods are fruits and vegetables, and one that is receiving a lot of interest at the moment is the tropical fruit papaya. The edible fruit of the plant species Carica Papaya is a source of all kinds of vitamins, but is also notable as a super food because of the powerful enzymes it contains, which can help with the digestion of otherwise difficult to digest foods like meat and dairy.

As far as health foods go, papaya is one that receives a lot of press. This fruit, which grows abundantly in tropical places, is known as a super food because of the numerous health benefits nutrients that are found in it provide. As well as vitamins, papaya contains antioxidants and proteolytic enzymes which are great for your body, but just how do these parts of the papaya’s make up work inside you to deliver such profound benefits?

Do you remember your school’s health teacher or parents going on for what seemed like hours about the food pyramid and a balanced diet? Good, because I’m about to tell you they were half right. A balanced diet is important for your health and fitness. But there is a little more to a healthy and well balanced diet than just eating the ‘ideal” number of serves of certain food groups and counting calories. It’s also about what sources of food the calories come from. Here, I’d like to give you an overview of balanced nutrition without going into school teacher or parental mode.

Drinking should be simple enough, but it’s not. Sedentary people drink: runners hydrate. When and how to hydrate is an art unto itself. Common logic suggests that we should drink when we’re thirsty. But common logic doesn’t apply to marathon training, with long runs lasting two-to-three hours.
