Are the Benefits of Probiotics Overstated?

Probiotics are live microorganisms given in specific dosages for the benefit of human health. Perhaps due to the vast number of microbes they comprise, probiotics may be one of the most confusing products in the health industry. There is still much to be learned.

Plus, probiotic use is often precisely targeted at very specific health conditions, rather than general gut health—a message often overlooked in consumer marketing. We can find probiotics in capsules, powders, or foods like yogurt.

In certain cases of disease, such as irritable bowel syndrome or antibiotic-associated diarrhea, probiotics can be the hero in someone's health story.

As to how probiotics apply to the treatment of other conditions, the jury is still out as much more research is needed. Without all the facts, the benefits of probiotics are often exaggerated or misunderstood. The good news is that ongoing studies and organizations are working to help us know how and when to use probiotics and which ones can help us stay healthy. by Amy Denney

ITS EASTER EGG DYING TIME!!!!!

TIME TO GET CREATIVE WITH FOOD!!

Making your own egg dye from natural foods is simple and fun. You can even use brown-shelled eggs—with their darker base, they enhance the color, creating a range of earthy jewel tones. Just mix up your dyes and let the eggs soak until your desired color is reached. The dye can be used to make more eggs, just be sure to keep it in the refrigerator. And remember that natural dyes stain too, so be sure to protect your egg dyeing area and clothes!

SERVES
12 eggs
TOTAL TIME
5 hours, up to 24 hours
INGREDIENTS
12 Natural Grocers Brand Organic Pasture-Raised Eggs, hard boiled and cooled completely
2 cups coarsely chopped organic red beets, from one large beet , (for red dye)
2 cups coarsely chopped organic purple cabbage, from half a small head of cabbage (for blue dye)
2 tablespoons Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Organic Ground Turmeric, (for yellow dye)
12 cups water
6 tablespoons organic distilled white vinegar
Crayons, rubber bands, and/or masking tape for adding designs and pictures, optional
empty egg cartons

DIRECTIONS
1. Make the dye: Add four cups of water to three separate saucepans; add the beets to one saucepan, the cabbage to another, and the turmeric to the third. Bring the mixtures to a boil, partially cover the pans, and reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer for 30 minutes. Note: Gently stir the turmeric mixture as it comes to a boil to prevent foam from boiling over.

2. Strain the beets and cabbage, one at a time, through a fine mesh strainer into their own glass jars or bowls. Allow the turmeric pan to rest off heat for several minutes for the powder to settle to the bottom of the pan. Slowly pour off the water into its own glass jar or bowl, leaving as much of the wet powder in the pan as possible (but don’t worry if some of the turmeric powder makes it into the dye mixture).

3. Transfer dyes to the refrigerator and allow them to cool for at least two hours.

4. Once the dyes are cool, mix two tablespoons of vinegar into each color. Then make additional colors as desired in separate jars or bowls by combining:

¾ cup blue dye + ¾ cup red dye = purple dye
¾ cup yellow dye + ¾ cup red dye = orange dye
5. If desired, add designs by drawing on the eggs with crayons, wrapping them with tightly fitted rubber bands, or cutting designs out of tape and securely adhering them to the eggs.

6. Dye the eggs: Gently add the eggs to prepared dyes using a slotted spoon. You can add several eggs to each dye at once, just make sure the eggs are completely submerged. Allow eggs to remain in the dye for two hours, up to 24 hours (in the refrigerator), check the color occasionally. The longer they stay in the dye, the darker the final color will be. Gently remove the eggs from the dye with a slotted spoon once your desired color is reached.

7. Allow dyed eggs to air dry completely in an empty egg carton. If you used rubber bands or tape, allow eggs to dry completely before removing. Be sure to store your dyed eggs in the refrigerator until you are ready to eat them.

I wanna make some bone broth!!!!!

Homemade bone broth recipe

Making bone broth at home on the stovetop or in a slow cooker is the best way to get its amazing health benefits.
A study reported that store-bought bone broth was found to be lower in all amino acids than the self-prepared varieties. (1)

While it may sound daunting, making your own bone broth is actually fairly simple.

Be Brave Go Big and Make It Yourself!!

Bone Broth Wrap UP

Bone broth precautions

Bone marrow is the fatty, soft, spongey tissue found in the center of most bones.

Marrow bones (e.g., femur) are good choices for bone broth as they contain high amounts of collagen and amino acids.

As a fatty tissue, bone marrow is also a rich source of vitamin D, which is stored in fat.

One reported case has noted that regularly drinking high volumes of bone broth, notably beef bone broth, may lead to hypervitaminosis D (excess vitamin D). (16)

Hypervitaminosis D can lead to hypercalcemia (excess blood calcium) which can cause serious health complications, including fragile bones, fatigue, and vomiting. (14)

In addition to the important amino acids and key nutrients found in animal bones, there may also be trace amounts of heavy metals, such as lead. However, research indicates that the levels of heavy metals present in bone broths are not considered dangerous, falling within the Maximim Residue Limits (MRLs) established by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. (9)

Skin health

Skin, the body’s largest organ, contains up to 70% of collagen, which plays an important role in maintaining skin structure and elasticity. (3)(21)

Aging reduces collagen production within the body, which can weaken skin elasticity and strength, causing the skin to become thin, dry, and wrinkled. (3)

Research suggests that collagen is a major component in the “anti-aging” of skin. (21) Bone broth collagen may be just what your skin needs for a youthful glow.

Joint health

Joint pain related to osteoarthritis (joint damage) is one of the most common causes of chronic pain, affecting millions of North Americans. (6)(17)

Osteoarthritis occurs when joint cartilage (tough, flexible tissue) degrades, causing bones to scrape against each other as the joint moves. This can eventually cause pain and negatively impact all areas of connective tissue, including bone, cartilage, ligaments, and tendons. (5)(13)

Collagen is the main structural protein found in skin and other connective tissues, such as cartilage. Collagen can be synthesized in the body using amino acids, or obtained from dietary or supplement sources. (23)

Consuming more collagen and collagen-building amino acids and nutrients may be one way to promote bone and joint health. (2)(17)

Bone broth is a good dietary source of collagen and collagen-building amino acids. (11)

Clinical and animal research has demonstrated that supplementing with collagen extract derived from chicken bones, like that from chicken bone broth, may be effective for decreasing joint pain. (12)(20)

So Chicken soup made with bone broth may support joint health and help reduce the negative effects of connective tissue stress, such as chronic pain. (12)

Immune health

Not only is glutamine a key nutrient for a healthy gut but also a healthy immune system. Leukocytes (white blood cells) require glutamine for proper function.

During illness or injury, glutamine is used by the immune system just as much, if not more, than glucose (sugar), the main source of energy for the human body.

Glutamine can be created within the body, but levels are often insufficient during times of illness.

Research indicates that supplementing with glutamine before or after a major health event, such as bone marrow transplantation, radiation treatment, or surgery, may be beneficial for immune health. (7)

health

Beef bone broth is rich in the acid glutamine, the most abundant and widely used amino acid in the body. (7)(11)

About 30% of total body glutamine is used by the digestive tract to support intestinal health.

Its functions include supporting a healthy inflammatory response, maintaining the intestinal barrier, and regulating intestinal cell death.

(10) In gut health conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease, glutamine levels are significantly lower than healthy individuals.

(8) Regularly drinking bone broth may help increase glutamine levels to support digestive health. (11)

Research demonstrates that glycine can decrease neurological (brain and spinal cord) damage related to oxidative stress in mice. (22) Cellular damage related to oxidative stress can negatively affect the nervous system, potentially playing a role in the development of neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.

No Its Bone Broth!!!

Bone broth (stock) is a liquid made from simmering bones in water over a period of time. Drinking bone broth on its own, or using it as a base for soups and other dishes, is a great way to get its health benefits.

Bone broth contains many important nutrients, including amino acids, collagen, and protein. (11) Scientific evidence suggests that the nutrients in bone broth may support digestive health, joint health, a healthy immune system, and more.

Amino acids, the building blocks of proteins in our cells and tissues, are one of the main components of bone broth. Proteins are used within the body to perform many bodily functions as well as repair, build, and grow bodily tissues. (7)(15)
Research indicates that the components of bone broth can benefit the body from head to toe, from mental health to skin health.

Get More Exercise

We sometimes feel that working out or playing sports has to be difficult, hard work and challenging.
We forget that it can be fun, exciting, and liberating.
Start with what you enjoy (dancing, swimming, walks, yoga.)

We also forget that we don’t have to do it alone.
Schedule a workout with a friend or someone who is at your gym.
If no one is around, consider hiring a private lesson with a trainer to help motivation and learn something new.
Join a group… e.g. a running group to practice and share in the experience.

Get active with your kids!
Play hide and seek or catch. Go for a long bike ride. Teach them to jog for short distances.
This will give the kids the chance to learn how to regulate their breath and stay connected to their own body.
So valuable for growing bodies.

Build up your consistency, then your intensity.
Focus on working out more often for 10-20 minutes instead of less often for longer periods.
Then start to add in more time or more intensity to each workout.
Rest and recover with a good night’s sleep

Here are some of the benefits you may see when you exercise:

May improve your mood

Better energy levels

Supports your overall health

Better sleep

Exercise that helps build muscle and will also help to control your weight, because muscle burns more calories than fat.

5 and to Help You

It’s 12 AM and is calling your name. What’s one more hour…right? Turns out, it could mean the difference between a day of eating right or a day of eating—well—anything in sight. Get your ready. According to a recent study, 62% of adults who got an extra 96 minutes of sleep each night reported that their daytime junk food decreased by a whopping 50%. Why? As it turns out, sleep deprivation can wreak havoc on the metabolism—because staying awake at night requires more than sleeping, your body overcompensates the next day by releasing “hunger” that send your appetite into overdrive. And if you’ve ever been in a meeting stocked with doughnuts after a late night, you’ve probably learned that your body isn’t for fruits and vegetables.

Okay, so get more sleep. Easier said than done, right? I know what you’re thinking—Christy, with a day packed with activities, I can barely finish everything on one and a half hours of sleep alone! But don’t freak out just yet. It turns out that focusing on sleep has a profound effect on a healthy lifestyle, providing a 32% increase in productivity and focus, and an energy boost for higher fitness performance.

If you’re like me, sometimes the hardest part of getting enough sleep is being able to wind down from a busy day. But when it comes to , fruits and vegetables are at the rescue! For a quicker, restful night of Z’s, skip counting sheep and start counting on these 5 fruits and vegetables to help you sleep.

: Dairy products are well-known calcium-rich foods. But green leafy vegetables, such as kale and collards, also boast healthy doses of calcium. And research suggests that being calcium deficient may make it difficult to fall asleep. Load up on this trendy veggie before bed and your body will be thanking you in the morning.

: Cherries are one of the only natural sources of melatonin, a sleep-promoting hormone. Have a handful an hour before bedtime; if fresh ones aren’t in season, go for cherry juice or the dried variety.

: Bananas are chockfull of potassium and magnesium, which both help to relax your muscles to give you a peaceful night’s sleep. Plus, they contain the sleep-inducing amino acid tryptophan, which ultimately turns into serotonin and melatonin in the brain. Both promote relaxation and sleepiness.

: Grown on the vine, tomatoes are a natural source of melatonin, a chemical produced by the body during sleep. Although it is recommended to get fresh sources, tomatoes can be found in sauces, paste, and even in ketchup. They are also full of antioxidants!

Fruit: If ’s what’s keeping you up, you’ll be passionate about passion fruit. Passion fruit contains several medicinal alkaloids, including the sedative compound Harman, which has traditionally been used to treat anxiety, and .

GIVE YOUR KIDS A FIGHTING CHANCE FOR A LIFETIME OF GOOD EATING HABITS.....

Student Confidential:

6 Healthy Snacks They'll Love

Whether it's after school, before bedtime, or midnight, someone's bound to be raiding the fridge or the pantry for a snack. When that someone is a teenager or college student, that ups the ante for making sure those foods are healthy. Otherwise, in their rush to get to their smartphones, a sporting event, a study group, or an outing with friends, they’re going to reach for a bag of chips or a sugary soda rather than hitting the fruit bowl or the veggie drawer to satisfy their hunger pangs.

Finding snacks that provide nutrition, taste great, and fit into busy schedules is challenging. Right now, my kids are still in elementary school. It's a worthy cause, though. When you've instilled healthy habits throughout your children's lives, it increases the chance that they'll take those habits with them when they go off on their own. Below, we’ve listed our top eight healthy snacks for older kids and grown kids alike that will not only satisfy their hunger but also fuel them with important nutrients.

1. Peanut Butter and Banana

Peanut butter is a classic when it comes to healthy snacking. You can spread it on whole-grain toast, put it in smoothies, or even make a spicy sauce for your favorite noodle (buckwheat is a great choice). Our vote goes to a whole-food vibe by simply smearing it on a banana. Peanut butter is high in healthy monounsaturated fats as well as protein at 7 grams per two-tablespoon serving, and bananas provide potassium and vitamin B6.

Want to step up the health factor? Make your own peanut butter out of natural, wholesome ingredients, or get creative and make spreads from other healthy nuts. Almonds for example, make a great creamy spread.

2. Hummus

Hummus is a slam dunk when it comes to snacking. It's salty, creamy, and versatile. You can use it as a dip for a variety of veggies, a spread for sandwiches, or even as a mix-in with your favorite salad dressing for an extra-flavorful, creamy kick.

For teens and college kids on the go, a quick hummus wrap is a great option. Just spread hummus on a whole-grain tortilla, sprinkle on a handful of pre-cut shredded carrots (plus a spoonful of feta cheese if you'd like), roll it up, and head out the door. If you're feeling extra ambitious, make a batch of homemade tortillas (they freeze beautifully). They taste amazing and are easier to make than you might think. You can also use grain-free tortillas, which can be found in the freezer section of most groceries.

3. Smoothies

Smoothies are the go-to for packing in a ton of nutrition on the go. There are endless combinations of fruits and vegetables that create an equally endless list of delicious smoothies. There are no rules here. The only recommendation is to keep frozen fruit on hand to throw into the blender at a moment's notice. Another pro tip: Make sure to have smoothie-friendly cups and large straws readily available to hand off to kids running out the door. For an eco-friendly choice, reusable, metal straws with silicone tips are great.

A common add-in for smoothies is protein or superfood powder. Not only does it add nutrition but it also benefits the texture by adding some thickness. Complete by Juice Plus+ is a solid choice here to add an extra boost of protein and fiber from whole-food sources.

4. Guacamole

Guacamole is a one-two punch of flavor and healthy fat. It couldn’t be easier to make, and it’s a great healthy alternative to other creamy and fatty dips, such as the fan-favorite ranch dressing.

We all know guacamole as the perfect companion for tortilla chips. Although a tortilla chip is hard to resist, they are deep-fried, which knocks them out of the running for a healthy choice.

The good news is, guacamole can be used in a variety of ways that will please the palates of older or grown children. Of course we can't talk guac without mentioning the ubiquitous avocado toast. It's that popular for a reason: It's fast and healthy, plus the toast provides the crunch factor that everyone craves. It's also a great stuffer for a quick breakfast burrito with scrambled eggs and a little cheese on a whole-grain, grain-free, or homemade tortilla.

5. Trail mix

Trail mix is another classic snack that's great to keep around for after school or between college classes when a meal isn't feasible. It's also highly customizable for taste, allergies, and texture. It's easy and economical to make your own instead. Plus, homemade trail mix allows you to mix and match ingredients you already have in your pantry.

The basic recipe for trail mix is nuts and dried fruit. Chocolate or cacao nibs is a frequent add-in, as are seeds, bits of crunchy rice or sorghum, and dried chickpeas or edamame. Nuts provide protein, which breaks down in the body slower than carbohydrates, making it a prime pick for maintaining energy. Fruit lends a hint of sweetness. Make a big batch of trail mix ahead of time and dole out individual servings as needed, or portion it out in reusable snack bags or containers.

6. No-bake Cookies

No-bake cookies have a lot going for them. They have the timeless combination of chocolate and peanut butter. They're portable. And, the obvious winner for busy parents or students: They require no baking.

It doesn’t take a lengthy web search to discover that plenty of food bloggers have revisited this easy recipe and transformed it into a nutritious treat. Today's no-bake cookies provide an ingredient list that's short on items (always err on the side of "the fewer ingredients, the better") but tall on taste. The nutritional profile is nothing to smirk at either, including fiber from oats, antioxidants from dark chocolate, protein from peanut butter, and good fats from coconut oil. Mix up a batch, plop spoonfuls onto a baking sheet, let it set, and keep in the fridge or freezer for whenever you need a salty-sweet snack fix.

DID YOU KNOW YOUR @$$ MUSCLES
affect your whole body?

Strong glute minimus muscles help assist in glute and hip extension strength, knee stability, can improve posture and overall athletic performance.

How-to: The Walking Lunge
This move is great for training all parts of the glute, including the glute minimus.
Grab a pair of dumbbells, one in each hand
Stand tall and perform a walking lunge, allowing the knee to touch the floor softly
Stand up and keep moving forward
Repeat for reps, and be sure to always control the lowering aspect of the lunge

Pro-Tip
By taking longer steps, or even stepping outwards on a slight diagonal in the lunge, you can allow for deeper range of motion and hip flexion, which can increase glute engagement.

SECRET TIP: Squeeze those glutes when going up the stairs and down!!

THE HARD THING ABOUT BODY SHAPING ~ ITS ALL CONFLICTING GOALS AND FINDING BALANCE:

The difficultly with body recomposition comes from the fact that you are balancing two seemingly conflicting goals. Gaining muscle is easiest when you eat in a calorie surplus, while fat loss typically requires you to eat in a calorie deficit.

People who tend to achieve the greatest results from body recomposition include:
Individuals with higher body fat percentages
Individuals who are new to strength training
Individuals who are coming back after a long break from lifting weights
This is because their bodies either aren’t adapted to the stresses and stimuli of resistance training, or they’re starting with a higher body weight and burn more calories during exercise. The longer you keep strength training, the more efficient your body becomes.

As such, it becomes more difficult to change your body’s appearance as your training age increases and as you get leaner.

If you fall outside any of the above categories, you can still work towards a recomp. You’ll just have to understand that it requires a lot more hard work, consistency, and patience.

You can enhance your chances of success with body recomposition by:
Eating at maintenance every day or calorie cycling based on when you work out
Prioritizing protein at every meal
Following a strength training program
Not doing an excessive amount of cardio
Getting enough sleep
Following each of these protocols will allow you to give your body the proper amount of fuel for your activity levels, maintain the lean muscle mass you already have, and prevent unnecessary fat gain.
