1 WILD SALMON

Salmon is rich in long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, which have been shown to reduce inflammation, lower blood pressure and decrease risk factors for heart disease. It contains the antioxidant “astaxanthin” that benefits heart, brain, nervous system and skin health. Consuming salmon may also help you control your weight by reducing appetite, boosting metabolic rate, increasing insulin sensitivity and decreasing belly fat. Salmon, in addition to all the above, is also an excellent source of several B vitamins, which are needed for energy production, controlling inflammation and protecting heart and brain health.iScriblr_salmon

5 Detox Water Recipes

Hey Everyone! I hope y’all are doing great! Well, keeping in mind the crazy “sunny” adversities, I guess, it’s time for some “Summer Relief” to be discussed in our weekly Healthy Food Series!

Water – is an integral part of our lives, making it impossible to live without! For centuries, medicinally, water has been advocated as the best natural detox available to mankind. Water carries nutrients to our cells, aids digestion by forming stomach secretions, flushes our bodies of wastes, and keeps our kidneys healthy. It also keeps our moisture-rich organs (skin, eyes, mouth and nose) performing well, it lubricates and cushions our joints, and regulates our body temperature and our metabolism.

Healthy Food Series – Debunking Weight Loss Myths!

Happy Tuesday y’all! It’s time for the weekly Healthy Food Series!

Well guess what! We’ve successfully completed 4+ months of Healthy Food Series and I am super stoked about the success rate! From talking about “super foods” to actually evaluating the “real food benefits” – This ride has been fun!
Well, carrying on with the ritual of mindful eating habits and living a healthy life, here comes my latest post to a “healthful lifestyle” that not only keeps you appraised with the newest food trends but also helps you lose those extra pounds and (this time) break some myths!

1 OBESITY IS ABOUT WILL POWER, NOT BIOLOGY (HELL NAH!)

It is completely fabricated that weight gain/loss is all about willpower, or making a “choice” to do this or that. In reality – Obesity is a very complex disorder with dozens, if not hundreds of contributing factors. There are numerous genetic variables that have been shown to associate with obesity, and various medical conditions (hypothyroidism, PCOS, depression) that can increase the risk of weight gain. In addition, the body also has numerous hormones and biological pathways that are supposed to regulate body weight. These tend to be dysfunctional in people with obesity, making it much harder to lose weight and keep it off.
For example, being resistant to the hormone “leptin” is a major known cause of obesity. The leptin signal is supposed to tell your brain that it has enough fat stored. When the leptin isn’t managing to deliver its signal, the brain thinks that you are starving. Hence, provoking you to eat! Trying to exert “willpower” and consciously eating less in the face of the leptin-driven starvation signal is extremely challenging, if not impossible for many people.
Understand that, eating is driven by behavior, and behavior is driven by physiology and biochemistry and everything is not as plain as it looks.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that you should just give up and accept your genetic fate! Losing weight is still possible, it is just much, much harder for some people.
