Your hormones - the body’s chemical messengers - are responsible for every small aspect of your physical, mental and emotional health, and you need them in very specific amounts for your body to function efficiently.
Eating nutritious foods, exercising daily, and engaging in an otherwise healthy lifestyle can go a long way toward supporting and improving your hormonal health.
Including fish can be a good way to get some healthy fats into your diet! This simple recipe is quick to prepare and yummy.
Give it a try and let me know what you think!
Serves 4
Ingredients:
4 wild salmon fillets
1 bunch asparagus
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 black pepper
1/4 tsp dried parsley
1/4 tsp. dried dill
4 tbsp olive oil
Who doesn’t LOVE good ‘ol popcorn?!
Try this savoury, and crunch-satisfying snack recipe!
But… this cheesy popcorn doesn’t actually have any cheese in it. Instead the nutritional yeast will give you loads of nutrients and the flavor of cheese. Plus, the avocado or coconut oil will be the boost of healthy fats you need.
I can’t wait for you to give this recipe a try.
Dietary fat provides energy, supports cell maintenance, enhances nutrient absorption, and is essential for producing some hormones.
Dietary fat got a bad reputation a while back, it was blamed for increasing rates of obesity and heart disease. Now, thanks to science and the increasing popularity of fat-containing diets, like Paleo and Keto, we know fat is an essential nutrient and a critical component of a healthy diet.
However, not all fats are created equal. Some fats come with extra health benefits and some can be harmful to your health and should be avoided all together.
One of the best ways to include healthy fats in your diet is using high quality cooking oils. When it comes to cooking, the type of cooking and amount of heat matter when selecting which oil to cook with.
