A Breakfast For Health and Weight Loss

I am eating for health and weight loss.

This morning's breakfast consisted of:

• 6 oz poached egg whites (easily digestible protein) , seasoned with spices/sea salt, basil, onion powder, 1 tsp organic extra virgin coconut oil (MCT fat produces energy and increases metabolism)

• Steamed broccoli and kale (nutrient dense, fiber dense complex carbohydrates)

• 3 black olives (monounsaturated fatty acids may decrease inflammation, reduce insulin resistance which reduces the tendency to store fat)  

• Fresh picked basil (flavonoids for cell protection, leaf oil for anti-bacterial , anti-inflammatory and vitamin A for heart health)
• 
  

• Morning Tea: I made a teapot mixture of Green Tea, Ginseng Vitality and Natural Herbs Tea

Green Tea for Antioxidants (cell protection), Ginseng for Energy and Vitality, Natural Herbs for digestion and elimination

Healthy Heart New Year Resolutions

Have you taken the time to decide on your Healthy-Lifestyle New Year's Resolutions?

Choosing resolutions to support heart health will benefit your overall health.

Eating a heart-healthy breakfast is a great first place to begin!

This morning, January 3 my breakfast consisted of:

• White Tea [Benefit: Due to it's high antioxidant activity, relaxes blood vessels, reducing oxidative stress]

        [Benefits: Lowers risk of atherosclerosis by slightly raising HDL and slightly lowering LDL]

• Red Onion   [Benefit: Increase blood circulation and improve cholesterol]

• Baby Portabello Mushrooms   [Benefit: Contain selenium, a trace mineral which reduces free radicals which protects tissues from their damage]

• Carrots   [Benefit: Deep orange color contains phytonutrients that fight cell aging]

• Brussel Sprouts   [Benefit: Supports the body's detoxification system thus minimizing damage by free radicals]

• Broccoli:   [Benefit: Contains high amounts of glucoraphianin which breaks down fat, preventing it from clogging arteries]  

• Zucchini   [Benefit: Contains Vitamins A & C, Potassium, Folate and Fiber, all which contribute to lowering stroke risk]

• Bosc Pear   [Benefit: Contains 30% more potassium than an apple and is necessary for maintaining heartbeat and muscle contraction]
