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.

Life Is A Highway

iScriblr_poetry

On cobbled boulevards of revolutionary pursuit,
I stride, I stroll, I sprint.

No fence, no roadblock can stop me now,
Winning in life was always a part of my innate blueprint.

With a desire to flourish and proliferate,
I surge, I self resuscitate.

These long unknown roads don't alarm me anymore,
Behind these "cryptic" lanes, lies a future that illuminates!
