When you're hungry and there's not much else around to eat...EAT THIS or at least something similar. But NOT THAT!! You guys know what I'm talking about. Don't grab the chips or pretzels or even the $2 McDonalds cheeseburger.. EAT THIS instead. Just a handful and you'll be satisfied until your next meal and have more energy and you'll be happier in the end. These are broad beans, fava beans, I got these at Walmart but if you live in the NY area like me, you can find them at any Asian supermarket. They are delicious! Here are some of the benefits.High in protein and energy as in other beans and lentils. 100 g beans carry 341 calories per 100 g. The beans, however, compose plentiful of health-benefiting antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and plant sterols.The beans are a very rich source of dietary fiber (66% per100g RDA) which acts as a bulk laxative. Dietary fiber helps to protect the colon mucosa by decreasing its exposure time to toxic substances as well as by binding to cancer-causing chemicals in the colon. Dietary fiber has also been shown to reduce blood cholesterol levels by decreasing re-absorption of cholesterol binding bile acids in the colon.Broad beans are rich in phytonutrients such as isoflavone and plant sterols. Isoflavone such as genistein and daidzein have been found to protect breast cancer in laboratory animals. Phytosterols, especially ß-sitosterol, help lower cholesterol levels in the body. Fava beans contain Levo-dopamine or L-dopa, a precursor of neuro-chemicals in the brain such as dopamine, epinephrine, and nor-epinephrine. In the brain, dopamine is associated with the smooth, coordinated functioning of body movements. Thus, consumption of adequate amounts of fava beans in the everyday diet may help prevent Parkinson's disease and dopamine-responsive dystonia disorders.

It's springtime! Time to eat a little lighter and more cleansing foods and I can't wait to dig in! Now to tell you a little bit about one of my favorite cleansing foods, fennel. Quoting Dr. Mercola, Vitamin C, the most active vitamin in fennel (17% of the daily value), has the strength to zap free radicals looking for a place to cause damage in the body, usually in the form of inflammation, which could lead to joint degeneration and arthritis. Other prominent vitamins and minerals in fennel include potassium, an electrolyte that fights high blood pressure, and folate, which helps convert potentially dangerous molecules called homocysteine into a benign form. The dietary fiber in fennel limits cholesterol build-up, absorbs water in the digestive system, and helps eliminate carcinogens from the colon, possibly preventing colon cancer. Several other nutrients play supportive roles, namely manganese, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and copper. The long, graceful fronds above the fennel bulbs contain a number of important vitamins, such as pantothenic acid, pyridoxine (vitamin B6), niacin, riboflavin, and thiamin. Phytonutrients in fennel seeds and bulbs include the flavonoids rutin, quercitin, and kaempferol, all antioxidants which resist infection, aging, and degenerative neurological diseases.But the most important nutrient in this vegetable might be anethole, a component in the volatile oil of fennel and one of the most powerful agents against cancer occurrence, possibly due to a biological mechanism that shuts down or prevents the activation of NF-kappaB, a gene-altering, inflammation-triggering molecule. #cleaneating #eatclean #superfood #greens #lunch #healthy #cravings #eeeeeats #instafood #instagood #tasting #food #instasalad #wellness #healthandwellness #healthcoach #wellnesscoach #thelovewellnessproject #paleo #fennel #springcleaning

I don't usually share too many processed food posts. Reason? It's very hard to find healthy processed foods out there that tastes this good! Very little ingredients maybe on that you shouldn't indulge in always but once in a while? It shouldn't hurt. It's the perfect satisfying pie in a hurry and it's from one of my favorite supermarkets Aldi! I'm a huge fan of Aldi! If you haven't been then get on over there. It's awesome! #aldi #pizza #spinach #goatcheese #imported #traditions #italian #italiangirl #comfortfood #italiantradition #vegan #vegitarian #yummy #healthy #healthyeating #nutrition #nutritious #food #foodporn #foodie #tastingtable #eeeeeats #instagood #instadaily #instafood #food52 #foodie #healthy #wellnesscoach #healthcoach #thelovewellnessproject

Springtime is coming. This is a time to start thinking about adding more plant based foods into your diet to cleanse your system of unwanted toxins. What better way to start then with kale. According to Dr. Mercola, If vitamins could be packaged and labeled as such, they would look very much like kale. That’s because the vitamins offered by just one cup of this relatively little-known veggie can trump a whole week’s worth of other foods: 684% of the daily value of vitamin K, 206% of the suggested daily amount of vitamin A, and 134% of vitamin C (and even more vitamin C in the Scottish curly-leaf variety). Kale can legitimately be called a superfood, if only after one particular study, which reported the high antioxidant activity in this vegetable. The phytonutrient indole-3-carbinol aids in DNA cell repair, while at the same time slowing the growth of cancer cells. With its sulforaphane content, kale protects against prostate and colon cancers. It also has properties that studies show ca ease lung congestion, and is beneficial to your stomach, liver, and immune system. It contains lutein and zeaxanthin, which help protect your eyes from macular degeneration. Kale has been compared to beef, which is known as a “go-to” food for iron, protein, and calcium. Kale’s anti-inflammatory capabilities are unrivaled among leafy greens, especially relating to the prevention and even reversal of arthritis, heart disease, and several autoimmune diseases. Omega-fatty acids are called essential because your body needs them to remain healthy, but they need to come from sources outside the body; kale is an excellent source of these healthy fats. Benefits of these often-talked about but little understood compounds include their ability to help regulate blood clotting, build cell membranes in your brain, and protect you against heart disease and stroke. They may also help combat autoimmune diseases, such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. One serving of kale contains 121 milligrams of omega-3 fatty acids and 92.4 milligrams of omega-6 fatty acids.
