Water- And Why You Probably Need To Drink More

Water- And Why You Probably Need To Drink More

WATER- AND WHY YOU PROBABLY NEED TO DRINK MORE

Water is the most important substance on earth and in the human body. We all know its important to drink water. But why? And how much is enough? 

Let's start with the WHY?

  • Have you ever heard: by the time you feel thirsty, you are already dehydrated?! Its true!
  • Your body is made of about 60 % water! Its important for all functions from digestion to detox to circulation and nerve function. Sweating, urine and tears all mean that as it comes in, it also leaves. 
  • You do get some replacement of liquid in food, but its likely not even half the amount you need. 
  • Dehydration affects how well your body works. Without enough water, you can feel sluggish, headachy or tired. Its also affecting all of your organs and their function. Drinking more water give you energy, a more clear mind, and a happier mood!

Baked Pumpkin and Squash Seeds Recipe

Baked Pumpkin and Squash Seeds Recipe

Baked Pumpkin and Squash Seeds Recipe

It's that time of year! Pumpkin everything! There are so many sweetened pumpkin spiced treats, from cookies to coffee to muffins.  I prefer the real deal- pumpkin seeds. They are very nutritious, and deliciously crunchy as well. One of natures perfect snack foods. 

This recipe works with both pumpkin seeds, and squash seeds. They are so delicious, it will probably make  you want to cut up a new squash each night for dinner. Both pumpkin and squash are a bit messy to clean, but I promise this is worth it! 

  1. Start by cutting up your squash or pumpkin so you have access to the center. You can go ahead and make your dinner, and leave the seeds to bake after. 
  2. Using a spoon, scrape the insides out, this will include the seeds and the pumpkin/ squash 'guts'.
