Baked Zucchini Chips (6/2/2019) Posted in: Health Articles, Ketogenic Recipes, Low Carb Recipes, Recipes - Baked zucchini has a really subtle taste and the flavor will depend on what you put on it. This opens a world of experimentation. A friend added jerky seasoning, my cousin added cinnamon (ikr?!) and one guy added a combination of nutmeg and cumin. Sounds weird to me but I'm always open to new things, I might give it a try!
What is MSM? (methylsulfonylmethane) (5/31/2019) Posted in: Nutrition, Skin Care, Supplementation - MSM is also useful as a agent against oxidative stress. While it is not, per se, an antioxidant, studies have shown that it can, indeed, help reduce oxidative stress and inflammation. This type of stress occurs when there is an imbalance in the number of free radicals in our systems, and the body’s ability to neutralize them. Free radicals can wreak havoc as they interact chemically with the components of our cells, such as DNA, trying to stabilize themselves by stealing electrons from individual cells.

Old Isn’t What It Used To Be (5/19/2019) Posted in: Caring For Seniors, Health Articles - There seems to be no general consensus about when old age actually begins. The United Nations has generally denoted old age as beginning at sixty-five, in agreement with most countries in the developed world. But the World Health Organization has established age 55 as the beginning of old age in Africa. So, as you can see, it all depends on the culture in which you exist. Old age is relative. But science has identified many factors which may define our old age, and none of these are calendar related.

Cell Regeneration or Reversing Mitochondrial Decay By Increasing NAD (5/15/2019) Posted in: Health Articles - While, to date, no studies have been conducted on humans, animal studies have consistently shown that NAD may be of great benefit in helping to slow the aging process. So, just how can we get in on this? Certain foods, such as cow’s milk, yeast, and even beer, contain NAD enhancing qualities. But consuming enough quantities may prove problematic for your diet. You may consider periodic fasting, which will help. A supplement called oxaloacetate will help mimic fasting if you just can’t put down the chips. You could also try maintaining a strict keto diet, one high in fat and low in carbs. Your body will stay in a state of ketosis, and levels of NAD will increase.
Elvis Sandwich, The (5/13/2019) Posted in: Health Articles, Ketogenic Recipes - Elvis: ‘Little girl, go fix me a sandwich, peanut butter and jelly sandwich.’ Now, you know, back when I fixed a sandwich for him, we mixed up the peanut butter and banana together. We didn’t put it [the sandwich] in butter and put it in a skillet. We just put [the mixture] on white bread. But…the other day, this man was fixing a peanut butter and jelly sandwich that Elvis liked and they sliced the bananas in thick slices and put it in this butter and cooked it…so he [Elvis] may have started liking that later. But when I was dating him [1957-1962], he liked just a plain old-fashioned mashed banana [sandwich].” - Anita Wood
