A hydrating juice to say hello to your body. This Good Morning Juice contains basic vegetables from the kitchen, citrus fruits, and can be prepared in 5 minutes for a refreshing drink. This juice contains organic cucumbers, organic celery, a green of your choice (such as romaine, spinach or kale), lemon, lime and ginger. What Is Juicing? Juice extraction involves a process in which the fluid and most nutrients are extracted from raw fruits and vegetables. This process removes all solid matter, ie fiber, fruits and vegetables and leaves only liquid. This liquid is not only a moisturizing way to "drink water", it is also a good source of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and phytonutrients found in fruits and vegetables that have made the juice - all in an easy drinking drink. Is Juicing Healthy? Juice can be part of a healthy diet when you add it to a diet already rich in whole foods, fiber, protein, healthy fats, carbohydrates, etc. It can be consumed at any tim...

Meal planning is a foundational tool when it comes to eating healthy, but what if you get bored? Try this tip so you ~ never ~ get bored with meal planning. If you’re new to meal planning or a pro, then you know first hand there’s a possibility that you can get bored meal planning. Meal planning is one of several tools I personally use as a  dietitian  and with my clients to keep them on track with their health and nutrition goals. It’s a simple system, yet it can be overwhelming to start. I get it! What Is Meal Planning Meal planning is a system (there are many ways to do it) where you prepare meals in advance for the week ahead. I developed one of the leading and first dietitian-approved and dietitian-created programs called the  Master Meal Planning program  years ago, and we’ve helped thousands make cooking and healthy eating simple. I wanted to share some lessons from our program and how you can apply it to your life during a busy holiday season and ...

For many, New Year’s Eve is code for slim-down sabotage. Between the celebratory spread, the bounty of adult beverages and the late night curfew, it’s no wonder so many people vow to jumpstart their diets the very next day. But you can still ring in the New Year without packing on the pounds. Here’s how: Eat! Stick to your normally scheduled mealtimes, and don’t “save room.” Showing up for a party ravenous is a fast-pass to diet failure. Eat your meals as you would on any other day and don’t forget to drink your water—it can help you feel fuller and slow down your noshing. If you feel like you have to eat once the festivities begin, pile your plate with raw veggies and fresh fruit. Remember, if you’re on Nutrisystem, we don’t recommend drinking alcohol—especially since it can cause your willpower to wane. If you decide to break the rules tonight, opt for one light beer or small glass of wine, then switch to seltzer with lime or mix it up with a festive mocktail . Bring a Healt...

When the temperatures drop, our eating habits change. The average adult’s produce consumption is lowest in winter, rises in spring and summer, and declines again in autumn, according to the 2015 Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index. This may not be too surprising, since fresh produce is abundant and tempting during the warmer months. But no matter what the weather is like outside, vegetables are a critical part of a healthy diet.  We all need at least four servings (Two and a half to three cups total) of vegetables each day, every month of the year. The good news: Fall is the harvest season, so lots of fresh produce is available in stores. And frozen vegetables are easy to include in many popular cool-weather meals, too. Try these simple strategies when you’re looking for ways to winter-proof your diet and keep enjoying your four servings (or more!) of vegetables this season: 1. Pancakes Plus Winter (hardshell) squashes such as butternut have a naturally sweet flavor, lots of fib...

‘Tis the season of runny noses, scratchy throats and annoying coughs. To help give your body a better fighting chance against cold and flu, strengthen your immune system with these simple tips: Breathe deeply. It’s one of the most basic meditation techniques, and one that can help calm you down and reduce stress. Chronic stress suppresses the immune system, and can increase your susceptibility to colds, and other illnesses. One study found people who practiced 45 minutes of mindful mediation every day for 8 weeks had a 40 to 50 percent reduction in respiratory infections, compared to those who did not meditate. But if you don’t have time for that, spend even just a few minutes a day focusing all your attention on your breathing. Concentrate on inhaling slowly through your nose, allowing your chest to rise as you fill your lungs; and then exhaling through your mouth. You can also try thinking of a relaxing place or phrase as you breathe. Wash your hands. Viruses live on your h...

Yes, of course you know you should work out—it boosts energy, makes you happier and helps you lose weight. You also know your to-do list is endless, in the morning you have no time, at night you’re too tired, and sometimes in between you just don’t feel like it. Still, you know you need exercise. Here are some tips on how to get moving when you really don’t feel like leaving the couch: Set small goals. Thirty minutes of exercise on most days is the recommendation, but if that’s a chunk of time you don’t have in your schedule, feel free to break it up. Fifteen minutes, twice a day–or even 10 minutes in the morning, 10 in the afternoon and 10 at night—is just as effective. Research conducted at the University of Wisconsin found overweight women lost similar amounts of weight whether they did 30 minutes of aerobic exercise in one shot, or divided their sessions into shorter spurts. 3 Exercises for People who Hate Exercise Read More Do what’s fun.

As I discuss in my video Shaking the Salt Habit , the two most prominent dietary risks for death and disability in the world are not eating enough fruit and eating too much salt. Eating too little fruit kills nearly five million people every year, and eating too much salt kills four million. There are three things we can do to lower our salt intake. First, don’t add salt at the table. One third of us add salt to our food before even tasting it! Second, stop adding salt while you’re cooking. At first, the food may taste bland, but within two to four weeks, “as the sensitivity of the salt taste receptors in the mouth become more sensitive to the taste of salt in the usual concentrations”—believe it or not—you may actually prefer the taste of food with less salt. Some of the flavorings you can use in the meanwhile instead of salt include “pepper, onion, garlic, tomato, sweet pepper, basil, parsley, thyme, celery, lime, chilli, nettle, rosemary, smoke flavoring, curry, coriander an...

Winter is a great time to hit the theater. It’s the perfect activity to escape the cold and catch the oscar-nominated films hitting wide release or the latest animated flick with the kids.
