Improving digestion means improving health. As Hippocrates said some 2000 years ago: “All disease begins in the gut”. This post will provide practical tips on how you can make small changes that will have a big impact on your digestion. It’s taken a lot of trial and error to get to this point but at last, I think I can finally say that I’m just now starting to understand that approaching digestion cannot merely be done from a nutrition and food stand point alone. It is a holistic approach, which takes into consideration our ..read more

Why i quit instagram as a blogger

If you have a visual blog or business, you most likely have an Instagram account where you share your creative endeavors. The two have become essentially synonymous with one another. But what I noticed happening to most who use Instagram, is the app becoming a consistent source of positive and/or negative feedback, driving us to compulsive behavior. And I mean all, day every day compulsive. After all, posting an image of either ourselves or something that represents us, be it a place, food, object, child, whatever, is a direct extension of who we view ourselves to be. The moment we hit publis ..read more

9 best mood boosting foods

Ever since I started this blog, I’ve been on a quest; a quest to understand the relationship between food, the gut and mood. I want to know how the physiological part connects to the psychological. The food we eat affects the gut and the gut is the primary producer of serotonin, which directly impacts our brain and therefore our mood. It makes a lot of sense when you break it down but where things get murky is the moment we step foot in the grocery store, surrounded by a sea of artificial foods. It’s ironic, really because the foods that are best for our brain are the foods our brain craves th ..read more

Yes, I know you're going to say: "yeah, yeah, yet another thing, I need to do", but there's something to be said about mindful eating. Ask yourself these questions: "How do you feel when you're eating while stressed? Do you taste your food? Do you enjoy what you're eating? Are you paying attention to what's actually in front of you"? Probably not. One could also make the most superbly elaborate meal but not pay any mind to how the meal is prepared and eaten.Being alive in the 21st century is extraordinary. We have luxuries never before imagined. Food (in most of the world) is aplenty and we do ..read more

Foods that improve mental clarity

You know the feeling all too well. You wake up in the morning, eat a bowl of cereal, have a cup of coffee with sugar and cream and out the door you go. Mid-morning, you're starving and distracted, trying to get things done, but there's an underlying hum in your mind that keeps saying: "feed me, feed me", so you grab something like a bag of chips to hold you over until the next meal. Lunch is a sandwich, followed by the obligatory sugary snack in the afternoon, in order to avoid the crash that's inevitably coming. Sound familiar? We've all been there. It's a vicious cycle that leaves us in brai ..read more
