So... i will start with the
8 FOOD YOU SHOULD EAT EVERYDAY- (thanks to msn health)
1-SPINACH- rich in omega 3's which helps prevent heart disease and stroke. It also helps build muscle.
hint- throw some spinach in a salad or in a fruit smoothie and you won't even know the difference.
2- Yogurt- helps boost immune system and fight off cancer.
I throw this is my smoothies too.
3- Tomatoes- Helps prevent all sorts of cancers (lung, prostate, skin and stomach)
hint- bright red are best and most nutritious
4- Carrots- enhances eye sight (not a myth), boosts immunity and fights cancer. Also, can reduce the risk of arthritis and asthma
hint- yet another thing i throw in a smoothie....or just eat with ranch.mmmm
5- Blueberries- good for your brain and your heart! Prevents cancer and helps prevent age related memory loss.
HInt- bet you can't guess...yes, i get these frozen adn throw them in my smoothie...also fresh ones are delicous on cereal or oatmeal
6- black beans (but i bet any bean will do. i actually LOVE soy beans)- these suckers help build muscle, stimulate the brain and are healthy for your heart.
7- walnuts or almonds- rich in omega 3's. essential fatty acids- (good fat). also fight cancer, build immunity and muscle.
hint- go to costco, buy a big bag of fresh ones (not sugar coated or cooked), and eat a handful a day for a snack. That is all you need.
8- oats- packed with soluble fiber which helps prevents heart disease. although its filled with carbs, but the release of the sugar is slowed by the fiber.
hint- eat a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast and you are full for hours and cleaned out for the day (if you know what i mean).

love it love it love it ----- and i would also like to put a plug in for Avocados --- a great source of healthy fat, filling, and wonderful on salads (spinach), turkey bagel sandwiches, or just made into some delicious guacamole --- i learned you should eat 1 a day -- i am not there yet, but i LOVE AVOCADOS!!!!
If I had the money, I would hire you to be my nutritionist and tell me exactly what I should eat for every meal. That I now you make great smoothies.
Did you know that spinach isn't really good for you until you cook it? When you cook it, it realeases all the good stuff... just a helpful healthy hint!
is that true about spinach? i've never heard that. if so i'm in trouble cause i eat it every day and never cook it.
Makes me glad that I have been craving a lot of these foods during the pregnancy. Now I just need to start exercising again.
We like soy beans with a little salt for an alternative to pop corn during a movie. Pei Wei also has an appetizer of soy beans.
i love health tips. yes, you should post more of them.
any wieght loss secrets?
Thanks for the tips. I'm admittedly stupid when it comes to my dietary needs! :)
that is good info, now it only I liked healthy food. I like some but need to make myself enjoy more.
I am planning on running the marathon. I ran today for the first time, I am so out of shape, 30 minutes was all I could take, my breathing is way off. But I have until october, I am sure I will be ok. I hope at least, I am kinda sad I lost all my hard work over the years, I kind of feel like I am starting over really. Are you running it?
I love this post...thanks so much for the great tips!
so I highly agree with the healthy eating... my pops just had a lovely heart angiogram & it almost lead to heart bypass... so it kind of scared me for my future. the last few months i've done some major changes in our diet. and what a HUGE difference it's made. thanks for sharing.
Crap...I was hoping somewhere in there you'd say chocolate. Looks like I'm way off! Thanks for the reminder..I need a healthy reality check!
A dietician huh? You can be my dietician. I need one desprately! Thanks for the good food tips though. What all do you put in your smoothies? I need good ideas for smoothies.
I LOVE carrot juice and walnuts! I have both everyday. You probably already know this, but you can get 3 liters of carrot juice for around $6 at Costco. I've tried juicing them and it's a huge pain and ends up more expensive. Great post!
Hey Linds! Thanks for checking out my blog! This is such a great post. I could use this info to look super smart in my nutrition class! haha
So have you thought about when you'll be back to good ol' UVU? Being a full-time mom of 2 kids AND going to school sounds totally easy. :)
