6 Health Foods that Are Anything But Healthy

I’m not sure if it’s good or bad that in this day and age I have to write an article about health foods that are anything but healthy. Back in the day people didn’t really have to question how healthy their food was. That’s because they could tell you exactly where their food came from and they could tell you what was in their meal. Now, with most meals coming in packages bought off of a store shelf, the difficulty in knowing about what you’re eating is a little bit more pronounced.

Ditch the Grains – Why Quinoa’s a Great Gluten-Free Replacement

If You Don’t Like Gluten, Quinoa’s a Great Gluten-Free Replacement One of the unintended (but pretty interesting) side effects of the entire gluten-free movement is it’s introduced millions of people to foods they would have never known about before. Seriously, how many of you knew what quinoa was 10 years ago? My guess is a small percentage of you. For that matter, did you know how to pronounce it 10 years ago? It’s pronounced  KEEN – WAH, if you’re wondering. Quinoa’s basically become a superstar of the gluten-free movement because it’s a healthy, filling replacement for the grains people love so much.

8 Amazing Reasons To Start Using Apple Cider Vinegar

If you’ve ever wondered why people are so fascinated with apple cider vinegar, I’ll give you a clue; actually, I’ll give you more than one – I’ll give you eight. You might already know this, but it’s worth repeating.

It’s these properties that have since been brought into holistic/alternative treatments for all kinds of health conditions. Made in a similar process as kefir, kombucha, and wine, apple cider vinegar (or ACV for short) is fermented with yeast and the sugar from apples to create an acidic profile that interacts positively with our bodies.

The Awesome Reasons Chia Seeds Are Great for Your Health

The Evidence Is There – Chia Seeds Are Great For Your Health In a recent survey I performed (not a very scientific one, mind you), I took a look at some health websites to see what some of the popular “superfoods” were. Then, I went to Pinterest and Instagram to see which health foods users were posting about. After a few minutes of looking at all these websites, I realized the majority of them talked about chia seeds. Well, I haven’t written much about chia seeds (hardly at all, actually), and I realized I’ve been depriving y’all of information on this nutritional rockstar. So, if you’d like to learn about the very popular (and extremely affordable) chia seed, get ready to take the plunge…just don’t...
