Been looking into Candida cleanses so much but most of what I see is about it starving the Candida and is more applicable to if you have a yeast infection rather than my situation of having endometriosis where my body naturally overproduced and reacts to estrogen so I'd have to pretty much live on a Candida diet permanently which is like no spicy, no dairy, no to most fruits, no sugar at all even natural like honey or maple, no red meat, no shell fish, no starchy vegetable and limited carbs and just is in general incredibly restrictive on top of that I am already gluten free and it makes me have to slow down and go - who is this for?

There's soooo many influencer nutritionalist who make mostly Candida content but I think it leaves out that avoiding carbs and a lot of the stuff that would need cut out isn't necessarily good for your body in other ways even if it does starve the Candida

And it's not like yeast serves no purpose in our bodies or immune systems - it's just a matter of overgrowth. And it seems like most of the approaches I see don't feel sustainable long term and they also really promote fasting which is something I am personally super against if you've had an eating disorder, especially when you don't live a slow paced relaxing lifestyle and are on your feet.

It just sucks to feel like even in a wealth of knowledge that exists online - so much of it is about selling something to you, whether a product or a lifestyle and it's so gross

[ID: A bowl with short-grained rice to the left and a curry to the right; a spoonful of pickled ginger tops the rice. End ID]

カレーライス / Kare raisu (Japanese "curry rice" with carrot and potato)

Kare raisu is a classic example of 洋食 (yoshoku)—Western-style food adapted to a Japanese palette. It first became popular among the Japanese navy, having been inspired by the diet of the British navy in the late Meiji period—the British themselves had appropriated and adapted dishes which they termed “curries” during their imperial rule of India.

The base of kare raisu's flavor profile is カレー粉 (kare ko, curry powder), which is used to spice the roux that thickens the curry. Since they were first manufactured and sold in the 1950s, premade curry roux cubes have been popular among home cooks as a quick way to season this dish. This recipe begins by making enough roux for the dish, for those without Japanese curry roux cubes at home.

Kare raisu is often made with chicken or pork belly, but meat is sometimes omitted. This recipe calls for sườn non chay, but if you don’t want to use a meat replacement, just increase the amount of carrot and potato!

Recipe under the cut.

Patreon | Tip jar

This recipe calls for you to make a roux as its base, as this is the most widely-used technique for this dish. A similar effect could be achieved by adding Japanese curry powder in after the onions are browned and proceeding with the dish from there, adding butter or margarine along with the water, and thickening the curry with some flour after the vegetables are tender, if desired.

Ingredients:

For the chicken:

1 package (100g) sườn non chay, or 350g other vegetarian meat substitute

(If using sườn non chay) several cups vegetarian ‘chicken’ or ‘beef’ stock from concentrate, vegetable stock, or water

1/4 tsp Japanese curry powder

A few cracks of black pepper

For the dish:

2 Yukon gold potatoes (400g), peeled

2-3 medium carrots (200g)

1 package (100g) suon non chay, or 350g other vegetarian chicken substitute

6 cups water, or enough to cover

2 tsp vegetarian ‘chicken’ or ‘beef’ stock concentrate (optional)

3 Tbsp neutral oil, to fry

2 large yellow onions, sliced

1/2 sweet apple, grated (optional)

3 Tbsp usata sosu (Japanese Worcestershire-style sauce)

1 Tbsp vegetarian oyster sauce (or substitute soy sauce)

1/4 cup coconut milk (optional)

4 cloves garlic, minced

1-inch chunk (10g) ginger, minced

Sườn non chay may be found in bags online or at your local Asian grocery–the bags will be labelled “sườn non chay” as well as “vegan meat slice,” “textured soy bean protein,” “vegetarian food,” or “vegan food.”

Apple is a fairly common but non-essential addition to this curry; it adds a subtle sweetness to the final dish without being immediately recognizable as apple. Other common additions which have the same effect are honey, jam, and mashed banana.

The Japanese Worcestershire sauce adds umami, salt, sweetness, and a hint of fruit: it may be replaced with equal parts soy sauce, ketchup, molasses, and date syrup or apple sauce.

The coconut milk adds savor and a creamy texture; the flavor of coconut is not detectable in the final dish. You could also use soy or oat milk for this purpose.

For the roux:

3 Tbsp Japanese curry powder

1/4 cup non-dairy margarine

6 Tbsp (45g) AP flour

Instructions:

For the roux:

1. Melt margarine in a small pot on medium, then reduce heat to medium-low. Add flour and toast for 15-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until flour is lightly golden brown.

2. Add curry powder and toast for 30 seconds, until fragrant. Remove from heat.

For the dish:

1. If using sườn non chay: In a stockpot, soak sườn non chay in enough stock to cover for about an hour, until rehydrated. I also added a few cracks of black pepper and about 1/4 tsp of Japanese curry powder to the stock.

Adding a small plate to keep the sườn non chay beneath the surface of the liquid can help them to soak faster.

2. Tear sườn non chay into thin strips and return to the pot. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has evaporated; set aside.

Soaking in broth or stock helps the flavor of the sườn non chay to be more concentrated. If you're short on time, just soak them in water until softened, squeeze the excess water out, tear them into strips, and set aside until ready to fry.

3. Prepare your vegetables. Peel potatoes and cut into wedges (if your potatoes are particularly large, halve them widthwise first). Peel the carrots and chop them with diagonal cuts, rotating the carrot about 1/4 turn between each cut (this style of cutting—rangiri—is commonly used when preparing cylindrical vegetables for simmering in stews, because it increases their surface area). Halve the onions through the root and then cut them into slices; mince the garlic and ginger.

Some cooks will cut the onions into wedges and fry them until translucent, while others cut them into thin slices and fry until they are deeply golden brown; I took the latter route to add savor to the final dish, but consult your own preferences (and time!).

4. Heat 3 Tbsp neutral oil in a large stockpot (the one you simmered the sườn non chay in, wiped clean, is fine). Fry sườn non chay until lightly browned and set aside. (If using a different meat replacement, follow the package directions for stovetop frying.)

5. In the same pot, fry onion on medium-low for 20-30 minutes until golden brown, agitating occasionally. Add ginger and about half the garlic and fry for 30 seconds until fragrant. I like to add about 1/4 of the roux at this point and fry until fragrant to increase the presence of the spice in the final dish, but this isn't common in Japanese preparations.

6. Add carrots and potato and allow to fry for about 2 minutes. Add apple and stir to combine.

7. Whisk water together with stock concentrate, Worcestershire sauce, and oyster sauce, and add to the pot. Return your meat replacement to the pot.

8. Simmer, covered, for about 15 minutes, until carrots and potatoes are fork-tender.

9. Dissolve the rest of the curry roux into the sauce and add the remainder of the garlic (this divided addition allows for a sharper garlic taste). Add coconut milk, if desired. Simmer, uncovered, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Taste and adjust sauces.

Serve warm with short-grained rice and fukujinzuke or rakkyozuke.

Snacks and Drinks for Littles

🍼🌟0-1🌟🍼

🍼- Soft, squishy foods like Bananas, Blueberries, Etc. (i prefer in slices for any bigger foods!)

🍼- Angel Milk, Honey Milk, Etc. Are all great! (theres many recipes online!)

🍼- Add a spoonful of sugar to heated up milk, then put it in a bottle! Helps me feel tiny and like a baby!

🍼- If you struggle with lactose intolerance, almond milk with vanilla and a spoonful of sugar is delicious! And if you aren’t a fan of that, water with a small bit of flavoring added is great, though only around less then a teaspoon (though you should be drinking water anyways! water is good for you!)

🖍🌟2-4🌟🖍

🖍 - More foods are available, but you still need to be careful! Things like go-gurts, animal crackers, goldfish, popcorn, etc. are all great snacks for littles!

🖍 - Lemonade and things like juice-boxes and koolaid are good drinks! Though make sure to have water as well!

🖍 - Snacks like apple slices and peanut butter, fruit plates, vegetables, etc. are healthy snacks for all littles! But make sure to cut them up first!

🖍 - Meanwhile if you want a sugary treat, cookies, ice cream, brownies with ice cream on top (optional), crackers, and other snacks from your childhood are always delicious! Though make sure to watch out for allergies!

🎈🌟5-8🌟🎈

🎈 - While snacks from before are super tasty as well, you can have other snacks too now! For example, bigger foods, like whole apples! (Just make sure to take little bites, and be careful!)

🎈 - Tougher foods are also good now, things like jerky and other meats. But be careful, as some may be too hard or spicy! And if you don’t like meats, theres also things likes smoothies, which are yummy!

🎈 - As usual, drink at least a cup of water a day! But other tasty drinks include koolaid packs, juice boxes, and other juices you may like! You can get flavoring for water as well, iff you prefer that.

🎈 - Be sure to be careful if you have anything hot, such as hot chocolate, fresh baked goods, or fresh cooked foods can burn easily. So be sure to wait for it to cool a little!

🌈🌟9+🌟🌈

9+ can have most of the same stuff their caregivers have, with some obvious exceptions. Though some great foods are pasta, fruits, vegetables, go-gurts, and all the stuff from before!

How do I avoid my Pokemon getting too spoiled on "people food"? I don't want to feed them just kibble but I also don't want them to develop a taste for people food to the point where they don't want their kibble.

Fruits and vegetables are fine to add to a pokemons diet for variety. The ones you want to avoid are processed foods with large amounts of fat, sugar or salt. You can find all sorts of fun recipes online for pokemon treats that are perfectly fine for "sometimes foods".

Here's one I found for you to get you started!

2 cups oats 2 medium sized nanab berries Half a cup peanut butter

Preheat your oven to 150 C Grind the oats in a food processor until they're a fine powder. Add nanab berries and peanut butter and blend until a sticky dough forms.

Turn out onto a floured surface and roll out flat, cutting into shapes using whichever cutter you prefer.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes.

These last up to 2 weeks in a sealed container in the fridge.

It's great that you want to keep their diets varied. Kibble is a good food source and there's many types, but a monotonous diet can make a pokemon swiftly bored and more likely to try and sneak food they shouldn't.

#pokemon care #pokemon irl #((fun fact thats a real recipe for dog treats))

Random Thought: Bucky Barnes

Chef!Bucky Barnes

Bucky Barnes as a Chef

He is trying to get used to real food again after years of supplements and IVs or being force fed through a tube to keep him going as the Winter Soldier. He discovers after watching cooking videos online that the act of cooking is actually quite calming for him. He quickly learns what he likes and what he doesn’t, willing to try almost anything just to see if he enjoys something new.

Bucky loves sweet things! Just about any fruits except honeydew and cantaloupe, his favorite is plums! He’s also a big fan of grapes (green, not red) and peaches. Bananas and apples he can take or leave, and he loves watermelon.

He’s not a huge fan of sour things. He can handle spicy foods to a very high level without getting sick (he ate a ghost pepper by accident once) though he is picky about what spicy things he likes and he loves jalapeños.

He can chop vegetables faster than anyone else in the kitchen so when they needs things chopped in bulk Bucky just gets a cutting board and chops cucumbers, carrots, tomatoes and lettuce for 20 minutes and they’re set all day.

He can pick pans and trays up out of the oven without an oven mit with his left hand. Also, thanks to employees needing to wear gloves in the kitchen he can use the metal hand in front everyone. If after hours or before opening, anyone ever asks why he wears the gloves while not handling food he tells them he had an accident in the kitchen and got severely burned so no one ever minds that he never takes the glove off of his left hand.

He exclusively works in the kitchen so he rarely has to interact with anyone other than the other Chefs. He also has a fantastic memory, and never once gets an order wrong.

He makes friends with the other chefs and they share recipes, and one of them gets Bucky into baking as well. After work every day he will make himself something for dinner, take it home and set it on the counter. He’ll mix whatever it is that he’s trying next and put it into the oven before eating his dinner. Bucky loves brownies and he’s gotten good at making cake, just trying to make a 2 tier cake for the first time and it actually turned out pretty good. His absolute favorite though is banana bread, it is fantastic and he makes at least one, usually 2 every week so that he can have some for breakfast before he runs out the door every morning.

Bucky is people’s worst nightmare if he ever sees a waitress cry. The waitresses are all very nice to Bucky, and only one of them seems to be that way only because they think he’s attractive, he has a soft spot for them. Especially since they deal with the customers so he doesn’t have to, he feels for them knowing how cruel humans can be, even about the dumbest things. But if a customer takes it too far, if someone makes it personal, insulting or bitching at a waitress, Bucky will leave the kitchen. Everyone who works there knows Bucky leaving the kitchen is always a bad thing. He comes in the back door and leaves through the back door, there’s also an employee bathroom so he never has to enter the dining room, so when he does something is very wrong. Bucky is an intimidatingly large man, though everyone in the restaurant knows he’s basically a Pit bull puppy, sweet, gentle, loving and misunderstood for the way he looks. (Bucky Barnes really is exactly like a Pit bull! Only mean because people made him that way, always putting his trust in humans again after being fucked over and is the most kind hearted thing you’ve ever met in your life. Bucky Barnes is a Pitty!)

Bucky will remove all the plates from their tables and dump them into the trash right in front of you, and if he has to actually speak no one will get a word in edgewise. His voice is loud and deep, it commands attention and most grown men wouldn’t have the balls to snap back at him and the ones that try live to regret it. Bucky is a pro at getting people to swing first, as long as they do he is legally allowed to toss you out of the restaurant and he is more than happy to do it. He would never hit a women, however he will ensure she can’t swing at him again before carrying her out of the building, and for any man, (though there have only been 2 who are courageous enough to hit Bucky) they learn quickly that that’s stupid. One hit and they’re on the floor, one of the men was so dizzy he actually had to crawl out of the restaurant.

Bucky as a chef would be fantastic. Plus, I dare you to tell me that Bucky Barnes with his hair in a little bun while he cooks isn’t the cutest thing you’ve ever thought about in your life!

He can cook for me any day🥵🥵

Slice to Perfection: Techniques for Beautifully Cut Vegetables

Want that professional-looking salad platter? We got your back, with uniformly chopped vegetables delivered to your dining table. But hey, vegetables are more than just aesthetics. They are full of nutrition and form a non-negotiable part of your balanced diet. Since fruits and vegetables form the first part of the food web they lie at the higher trophic level and biologically carry more energy in comparison to other sources of food such as dairy and poultry. The easiest way to utilize their goodness in your food is to include them in at least two of your meals every day, even if it is in the form of snacks.

Ways To Incorporate More Fruits And Vegetables Into Your Diet

Eating those nutrients need not be all lavish and time-consuming. Fruits and vegetables can be incorporated into your meals very easily. Salads, smoothies, and spreads are some of the easiest ways. Also, since the fruits and vegetables are not cooked for these recipes they are considered even better for the bodies as they are closest to their natural forms and not processed. They can be used as toppings to your pizzas to get your mother’s approval or be added to your next barbecue. One can switch to healthy sliced snacks with peanut butter spreads and yogurt and chocolate syrup dips or have muffins, pancakes, or nut bars feasts. Last but not least, who does not like those spicy crisp sandwiches with extra cheese? All these require minimal food prep or if you still do not have time you can order fresh-cut vegetables and fruits online.

The Ideal Cut

Brunoise (Fine Dice)

The ideal use of this cut is for garnishes and stuffing. Some common foods used in this cut are carrots, onions, bell peppers, and other hard root vegetables like beets and turnips.

Chiffonade (Shredding)

Widely used for leafy green vegetables and herbs including spinach, basil, mint, and fenugreek to list a few, in the form of sautee, stuffing, and garnish. They are directly cooked into dishes in some cultures including India.

Julienne/Allumete (Matchstick cuts) and Baton

Stir-fries and salads are made by using vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, and cucumbers. These vegetables are also used in noodles in this form by many cultures including China and Korea.

Macedoine (Small Dice)

Those healthy soups are incomplete without the dice of yam, sweet potatoes, radish, and spring onions.

Parmentier (Medium Dice), Carre (Large Dice) and Paysanne

The most common cut for those mouth-watering lunch and dinner recipes and barbecue is made of potato, Onion, Yam, carrot, bitter gourd, bottle gourd, spinny gourd, chow chow, zucchini, brinjal, capsicum, and tomato.

Slices, Stripes, Rondelle/ Washer

Your classic roasts, grills, baked snacks, and salads of cucumber, baby corn, tapioca, taro roots, and plantain stem are a magic of artistic slices and stripes

Mincing and Crushing

Those smooth thick pastes and sauces of onion, garlic, and ginger are essential to the drama of your routine cooking.

Buy your perfect cuts online

Say goodbye to those long hours of meal preps and visit the just-right platform of GreenChopper to buy cut vegetables online in Banglore and create a plate of health for your family.

Weightloss tips u may not know about or do but don’t know the science behind them 🩷🫶🏻

1. After a 48hr fast your dopamine receptors reset. For example: a mars bar gives u a dopamine hit? Gone. Try eating fruit now, it will taste better, sweeter & its more healthy for u. - source “Fast like a girl by Dr Mindy Peltz”

2. The reasons why people can’t stop themselves from binging is because of sugar and flour. Eating those foods or food containing them MAKE u hungry. The best way to satisfy yourself after a meal is to cut those products out. I eat only fruits and vegetables and i find that after lets say 2 tomatoes or a banana, i feel satisfied. Some days all i eat is a piece of fruit for snack and a salad for dinner & im fine. - source “Bright line eating by Susan Peirce Thompson”

3. After 3 days of fasting, the hunger goes away. Push through it & you’ll notice it gets easier. When u break your fast ALWAYS do it with something healthy like fruits or vegetables. Going back to like ice cream will ruin the dopamine receptors and you will crave unhealthy foods again. - source I can’t remember but ive heard it heaps on YT videos & ive tried it and can vouch for that tip.

4. After 2mins of running or high intensity exercise, your body runs out of energy & begins to fuel you by producing cortisol to keep u going. High amounts of cortisol results in your body storing BELLY FAT. So if u happen to notice that u store belly fat mainly, that could be the reason. Source - Autumn Bates on YT (i forgot which vid but i think maybe it was a tik tok, sorry.)

5. Starvation mode is a myth. Look at prisoners of war for example. They are so emaciated due to lack of food, if “starvation mode” was true, they wouldn’t end up like that. Maybe u may not loose for a few days but that is your body holding water or possibly gaining muscle, if it prolongs further than this see my next tip. Source - i forgot im so sorry, possibly a podcast?

6. Your body has a natural rhythm known as the circadian rhythm. This in short like an internal clock that regulates our sleep-wake cycle and other bodily functions. It helps us feel awake during the day and sleepy at night. It's influenced by factors like light exposure, hormones, and daily routines. It means that your body doesn’t digest food the same at night, if at all. It isn’t supposed to. If u feed yourself after 6-8pm, the digestion process is slower, much slower. This can cause to hormones being released at the wrong time, storing fat, keeping u awake etc. It is best to not eat after 6pm (if u heard this tip from ur mother growing up, it is actually science backed, its not so u “eat less & that makes u loose weight” its because u stop eating after a certain time. It is actually because your body isn’t designed to digest food late in the night and so u loose fat easier.) Source - “Change your schedule, change your life by Dr Suhas Kshirsagar”

7. Birth-control whacks out your hormones. If u are on BC & find u have all these cravings & can’t seem to restrict, thats most likely the reason why. A lot of doctors will tell u “its just water weight” but thats not the case. The constant stream of synthetic hormones keeps your body in a state that similarly reflects how u feel the week before your period (bloated, craving, tired etc) and u feel this way continuously. Im not saying go off birth-control but if you are puzzled as to why u may feel like this & u are on BC this may be the reason. Source “Your brain on birth control by Sarah Hill”

8. Also on the topic of hormones, if u aren’t loosing weight no matter what u do or its very slow progress, it can be due to a hormonal imbalance. Exactly which one im not sure, it depends on you and your body. U can see which hormones are out of balance via online tests (idk what to google i read it in a book). Completing tests online can give u a rough idea of which hormones may be unbalanced and then u can go to your doctor and request certain tests to medically check. Your dr can then advise you on what to do to balance them. You may also have hyperthyroidism which can make u constantly tired, unable to loose weight and sensitive to stress. Source - “Hormone repair manual by Lara Briden”.

That is all i can think of rn. I have read all books i have sited & many many more. There is definitely a huge science to weight loss and i may make another post in the future stating what i have learnt. Most books are written by drs or people of similar qualifications. I applied all these to my life and loose weight continuously. My mother is also a certified nutritionist, personal trainer and life coach & she also follows all these things & has read the same if not more books. She is almost 50 & bmi 18.3 & has consistently been this way for my whole 21yrs of living even after having 3 kids. She doesn’t loose weight due to her high calorie intake (like 3k cals a day) but she also doesn’t gain weight so if u follow these examples by restricting u will see major weightloss. I also have lost 5kg in 8 days from following these tips this relapse & last relapse i lost 30kg in 4ish months from these tips.

Castletown Café Episode 13: Butler Juice (Blue)

It’s the middle of summer here in the Northern Hemisphere, and hot weather is in full swing. While I’m grateful my summer in Oregon this year has not been a repeat so far of last year’s deadly heat wave, I’m seeing what I experienced last year happening to the people in Europe this year. This isn’t just happening in Europe: record temperatures have been scorching northern Africa, the Middle East, and Asia as well. Having experienced such heat for myself, I know how awful and miserable it is, and I hope you’re all staying cool and safe, regardless of where you are in the Northern Hemisphere.

It’s hot here, too, in North America, and Oregon’s in the middle of its own heat wave right now as well, though it’s tame compared to what so many are going through. It may seem tone-deaf to present a recipe and an episode of Castletown Café when bringing up current events, but, I hope a recipe for a refreshing drink may help cool you down this summer, no matter where you are.

And if where you live is even hotter, you can skip making your own simple syrup for this drink, and just buy some pre-made. It seems you can find some simple syrups at supermarkets, and, of course, liquor stores - as well as alcohol-free Blue Curaçao syrup, which is the trick to making this Butler Juice blue. You can also omit the Blue Curaçao syrup entirely and just add blue food coloring to regular simple syrup if you want to be extra careful, especially if you’re making this for children.

Unlike my green Butler Juice, which was a smoothie, the Blue Butler Juice is a mocktail, because no fruit or vegetable produces juice that is truly blue. So instead, you’ve got to turn it blue yourself. What juice do we turn blue? Easy - lemonade. But won’t that turn it green? Not if you add enough Blue Curaçao syrup and stir it in well - and rather than use pre-made lemonade, you make it yourself, with fresh lemons. To make it a fizzy delight, we combine the blue lemonade base with club soda or sparkling water when fixing the drink in a glass.

This recipe is easy to halve or double. I actually started out with what I will call a “half-batch” for my first attempt with this drink (1/2 cup lemon juice, 2 oz Blue Curaçao syrup, and 4 tablespoons simple syrup) and I made a “full batch” the second time around. A half-batch serves 2 people, while a full batch serves 4. Great for a small summer party!

BUTLER JUICE (BLUE):

3/4 cup sugar*

1 cup water*

4 fl oz Blue Curaçao syrup (alcohol-free)

1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 5 large lemons, plus an extra lemon for garnish)

Club soda/soda water/sparkling water

Ice

Frozen blueberries

Mint sprig, for garnish

Lemon wedge, for garnish

*Can be swapped with pre-made simple syrup if it’s too hot to use the stove

Wash blueberries and dry thoroughly. Place in a container and freeze overnight. You can freeze as many as you want, depending on how many glasses of Blue Butler Juice you plan on making.

Combine 3/4 cup sugar with 1 cup water in a saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil while stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium-low and bring to a simmer. Continue to cook until the sugar has completely dissolved (I’d give it about 5 minutes). Pour your simple syrup into a container and let it cool completely. OR - just buy some pre-made simple syrup - the better option during a heat wave! You can look online to see what stores in your area may be selling some.

After your simple syrup has cooled, set aside one lemon and cut remaining lemons in halves, squeezing out the juice using a hand citrus juicer. Fill up 1 cup of fresh lemon juice and add to a container that can hold at least 2 cups to 1 quart.

Using a cocktail measurer or jigger, add 4 fluid ounces (or 1/2 cup) of Blue Curaçao syrup to the lemon juice and stir to combine, turning your lemon juice a a deep blue and sweetening it.

Add simple syrup to taste, anywhere from 4 to 6 tablespoons, or 8 if you want it really sweet. I used about 6 tablespoons of simple syrup, myself. Stir to combine.

To serve, start with preparing the garnishes and grab a sprig of mint, rinse, and pat dry (the mint provides extra aroma as you drink your beverage). With the spare lemon you’re using for garnish, slice into wedges or wheels and make a small cut so that they sit on the edge of your glass.

Pour 4 fl oz of the blue lemonade base into a tall glass, then pour in the club soda until glass is 3/4 of the way full. Stir to combine, otherwise, the club soda will just sit on top of the lemonade base. Be sure to leave room in the glass for the toppings.

Carefully place ice cubes in your drink and top with frozen blueberries. Garnish with the mint sprig and a lemon slice, wedge, or wheel. Serve or drink up and enjoy!

Bonus (cw: alcohol): If you want to make this a cocktail, combine anywhere between 2 to 4 fl oz blue lemonade base with 2.5 fl oz citrus vodka and half an ounce of true Blue Curaçao liqueur. Stir in the club soda and add the same toppings. Just remember to drink responsibly and stay hydrated!

9 Ways to Stay on Track with Weight Loss Goals While Socializing

In the vibrant journey of weight loss, social gatherings can sometimes feel like navigating a minefield of temptations. From savory appetizers to decadent desserts, the fear of derailment is real.

But what if you could enjoy the best of both worlds? Imagine attending every party, dinner, and event with confidence, armed with strategies to keep your weight loss goals on track.

In this piece, we unveil nine lifesaving tips designed to help you relish your social life without compromising your health ambitions.

How to lose weight without dieting

1. Planning Ahead: Your Secret Weapon

Knowledge is Power

Before heading out, do a little homework. If the menu is available online, decide what to eat beforehand. This pre-planning prevents the overwhelming menu gaze and spontaneous, often regrettable, decisions.

Communicate Your Needs

Don't hesitate to suggest restaurants or venues that offer healthier options. Your friends and family will likely admire your dedication and might even join you in making healthier choices.

2. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate!

Keeping water by your side is more than just a good health tip; it's a strategic move.

Feel Full, Eat Less: Drinking water before and during the event can help control your appetite.

Avoid Liquid Calories: Opting for water instead of sugary or alcoholic beverages cuts unnecessary calories.

3. Navigating the Buffet: A Strategic Approach

Buffet-style settings can be particularly challenging. Here's how to tackle them:

Survey Before Serving

Take a full lap around the buffet to assess your options before making any selections. This prevents the common trap of plate piling.

Plate Composition

Fill half your plate with vegetables, a quarter with lean protein, and the remaining quarter with whole grains. This balance keeps you satiated and nourished.

4. The Power of Portion Control

Even with healthy choices, portion size is key.

Share the Love: Consider sharing a dish with a friend if the portions are large.

Mindful Eating: Eat slowly and savor each bite. It takes time for your brain to register fullness.

5. Smart Snacking: Your Ally

Never Go Hungry: Have a healthy snack before arriving to curb hunger and avoid overindulgence.

Keep Emergency Snacks: Pack portable, healthy snacks like almonds or fruit in case options are limited.

6. Master the Art of Saying No, Graciously

No Need for Explanations: Politely decline offers without feeling compelled to justify your choices. A simple "No, thank you" suffices.

7. Embrace Activity-Based Socializing

Shift the focus from eating to activities.

Suggest Active Outings: Propose walks, hikes, or dance classes as social gatherings.

Stay Engaged: Engage in conversations and activities to shift focus away from food.

8. Savor the Moment, Not Just the Meal

Practice Presence: Enjoy the company and the experience. Socializing isn’t just about eating; it’s about connecting.

9. Treat Yourself with Kindness

Slip-ups happen. It’s important not to let a minor detour turn into a significant setback.

Reflect and Reset: Acknowledge the slip, learn from it, and reset your focus on your goals.

"The key to success is not the absence of challenges, but the ability to navigate them with grace and resilience."

In conclusion, your social life and weight loss goals can harmoniously coexist. It's about making smart, conscious choices and not letting the fear of indulgence keep you from enjoying life's pleasures.

Take these strategies to heart, and watch as you confidently navigate social settings, making memories while staying true to your health and wellness journey.

Remember, balance is not something you find; it's something you create. So, go ahead, RSVP 'Yes' to that event, and arm yourself with these strategies. Your journey is yours to enjoy, every step of the way.

A day through the fruit markets

As someone who's always been keen on maintaining a healthy lifestyle, I've often found myself delving into the nutritional benefits of everyday foods. It was on a crisp Saturday morning at the farmer's market when my curiosity about apples took an interesting turn. While picking out the juiciest apples, the vendor, a friendly old chap, mentioned offhandedly, "You know, apples are great for you, especially because of the quercetin."

Quercetin? This was new to me. Sure, I knew apples were healthy, but this particular compound was not something I had come across in my routine health research. Intrigued, I thanked the vendor and headed home, apples in tow, with a new topic to explore.

Settled in my study with a freshly cut apple, I started my deep dive into quercetin. It turns out, quercetin is a type of flavonoid, an antioxidant found in many fruits and vegetables, but particularly abundant in apples. The more I read, the more fascinated I became. Quercetin wasn't just an antioxidant; it had anti-inflammatory properties and potential benefits for heart health, immune function, and even allergy relief. This discovery felt like striking gold in the world of nutrition.

The realization dawned on me that while my diet was rich in fruits and vegetables, I might not be getting enough quercetin to truly reap its benefits. This led me to explore supplementation options. That's when I stumbled upon quercetin gummies from an online store called Deerforia. I was initially skeptical – could a gummy really be an effective way to supplement this powerful flavonoid?

However, as I researched further, I found that these gummies were not only a convenient way to increase my quercetin intake but also came without the hassle of swallowing pills – a definite plus. With careful consideration, I chose a reputable brand known for their natural ingredients and transparency.

When the gummies arrived, I was pleasantly surprised. They were tasty, and knowing each chew was boosting my quercetin intake made them even more enjoyable. Incorporating them into my daily routine was seamless.

This journey into the world of quercetin reinforced a valuable lesson for me – sometimes, the most significant health discoveries are hidden in plain sight, like in the everyday apple. It also highlighted the importance of being open to new ways of supplementing my diet, even if it comes in a form as unassuming as a gummy. As I continue my journey towards optimal health, I'm reminded that there's always more to learn and explore, and sometimes, the answers might just be in a bite of an apple, or in my case, a quercetin gummy.

How to Avoid Food Poisoning Over the Holidays

The holiday season is a time for joy, celebration, and indulgence in delicious meals with family and friends. Amidst the festive cheer, it's crucial to stop and prioritize food safety to ensure everyone enjoys a healthy and happy holiday season. When traveling abroad, try to avoid foods that are raw or might not have been cooked fully. Look for steaming hot food to ensure the dish is fresh and bacteria-free. Follow the locals and eat where they eat. Check reviews online before choosing a place to eat. Wash your hands regularly, especially before eating, and carry hand sanitizer with you. If you do get food poisoning, drink lots of water and replace lost salts and minerals with rehydration sachets.

The most common types of food poisoning are caused by various bacteria and viruses. Some of the most common causes of food poisoning include: - Campylobacter: It is the most common cause of food poisoning and is often associated with raw or undercooked poultry, unpasteurized milk, and contaminated water. - Salmonella: This bacterium is commonly found in undercooked poultry, raw eggs, and raw meat. It can also be present in fruits and vegetables due to cross-contamination. One of the biggest source of salmonella food poisoning comes from the popularity of romaine salads, so wash your green leafs well. - Escherichia coli (E. coli): E. coli can be found in undercooked ground beef, unpasteurized milk, and raw vegetables. It can also be transmitted through person-to-person contact and contaminated water. - Norovirus: This virus is a common cause of food poisoning and can be transmitted through contaminated food and water. It is highly contagious and can spread quickly in settings such as cruise ships and nursing homes. - Listeria: Listeria can be found in unpasteurized dairy products, deli meats, and certain soft cheeses. It poses a higher risk to pregnant women, newborns, and adults with weakened immune systems. These are just a few examples of the many types of food poisoning. The symptoms of food poisoning can include diarrhea, stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, and fever. It's important to seek medical attention if you experience severe symptoms or if you belong to a high-risk group, such as pregnant women, young children, older adults, and individuals with weakened immune systems. The holidays are a time for feasting with family and friends, but it's important to take precautions to avoid food poisoning. Here are some tips to help prevent foodborne illness during the holidays: - Thoroughly Wash Your Hands: The foundation of food safety begins with proper hand hygiene. Before handling any food, especially raw meat and vegetables, wash your hands with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds. Encourage everyone involved in meal preparation to follow this practice diligently. - Separate Raw and Cooked Foods: Cross-contamination is a leading cause of foodborne illness. Keep raw meats, poultry, seafood, and their juices separate from ready-to-eat foods to prevent the spread of harmful bacteria. Use separate cutting boards, utensils, and plates for raw and cooked items. Prevent juices from meat, chicken, turkey, and seafood from dripping or leaking onto other foods by keeping them in containers or sealed bags. - Cook Food to the Right Temperature: Cooking food to the proper internal temperature is crucial for killing harmful bacteria. Invest in a food thermometer and use it to ensure that meats, poultry, seafood, and leftovers reach the recommended temperatures. Refer to USDA guidelines for specific temperature recommendations. Germs can grow rapidly in the danger zone between 40°F and 140°F. Keep hot food hot (above 140°F) and cold food cold (below 40°F). Use pasteurized eggs for dishes containing raw eggs. Salmonella and other harmful germs can live on both the outside and inside of normal-looking eggs. Many holiday favorites contain raw eggs, including eggnog, tiramisu, hollandaise sauce, and salad dressings. Store eggs in their original carton. - Chill Perishable Foods Promptly: Refrigeration is your ally in preventing bacterial growth. Perishable foods, including leftovers, should be refrigerated within two hours (or one hour if the temperature is above 90°F/32°C). Ensure your refrigerator is set to 40°F (4°C) or below and promptly consume or freeze leftovers. - Mindful Thawing Practices: If you plan to serve frozen items, such as turkey, make sure to thaw them safely. The safest methods include thawing in the refrigerator, in cold water, or in the microwave. Avoid thawing at room temperature, as it can lead to bacterial growth. Thaw turkey in the refrigerator, in a sink of cold water that is changed every 30 minutes, or in the microwave. Never thaw your turkey by leaving it out on the counter. - Be Cautious with Buffets: Buffet-style meals are common during the holidays. However, they can pose a higher risk of foodborne illness due to extended exposure to room temperature. Keep hot foods hot (above 140°F/60°C) and cold foods cold (below 40°F/4°C). Use chafing dishes, ice trays, and other equipment to maintain safe temperatures. - Stay Informed about Recalls: Before heading to the grocery store, check for any food recalls that may affect the items on your shopping list. Stay informed about potential contamination or safety concerns related to specific products. Many authorized food and safety departments offer email alerts on food notifications. - Practice Safe Egg Handling: Raw or undercooked eggs can harbor Salmonella. Use pasteurized eggs in recipes that call for raw or partially cooked eggs, and cook egg dishes thoroughly. Avoid recipes that involve raw or lightly cooked eggs, especially for vulnerable populations like young children, pregnant women, and the elderly. - Hydrate and Use Safe Water Sources: Ensure that the water you use for cooking and drinking is safe. If you have any doubts about the water quality, use bottled water or bring tap water to a rolling boil for at least one minute before using it in food preparation. - Trust Your Senses: If something looks, smells, or tastes off, trust your instincts. Discard any food that seems questionable, and don't take chances with items that may have been improperly stored or handled. You can significantly reduce the risk of food poisoning during the holiday season. Remember that food safety is a shared responsibility, and everyone involved in meal preparation plays a crucial role in ensuring a safe and enjoyable celebration. Prioritize hygiene, follow recommended cooking temperatures, and stay informed about potential risks to safeguard your festive feasts and make cherished holiday memories for everyone.
