TWO THINGS EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE IN THEIR PANTRY TO HELP WITH A COUGH
Fall is the time of year that germs and sicknesses tend to ramp up. WIth everyone back in school, eating more sugar than real Whole Foods and not getting lots of direct time in the sunshine, immune systems are at a new low and are more susceptible to getting a cold. So many people I’ve talked to are dealing with all the things being passed around and especially coughs. I do feel like there is a need for modern medicine if symptoms are VERY bad but for the most part I do believe that most things can be handled at home. Coughs are interesting to treat because how different they…

Strawberry Chia Seed Jam Recipe
One thing that I have tried to do in the last few years is take advantage of seasonal fruits when they are actually in season. We are so used to having everything available year round in grocery stores, that we forget about their natural growing seasons. When you take the time to shop for your produce during the actual season it’s grown in, not only is it more nutrient dense, it tastes SO MUCH better.

Why I swap table salt for pink Himalayan salt
One of the biggest swaps we can make for our health is with our foods. Unfortunately, over the last 50 years the quality of food has become less nutrient dense and more processed, “quick and easy.” I have seen a major positive change take place in my life JUST by focusing on the foods that I eat being clean. This swap spans from cooking oils, processed items, meat quality, organic produce and the salt I use to cook with. I’m sure that when thinking about eating better, salt isn’t at the top of the priority list but it should be. Salt has the ability to harm or improve your health.…
