Taco Bowl with Crispy Kale Chips One-bowl meals, like this taco bowl, are a great example of achieving maximum flavor with minimal effort. When all the ingredients for a meal are piled on top of each other in a bowl, every bite brings a delicious new combination of flavor. Plus, every bite is packed with protein, healthy fat, and a variety of vegetables . And, it’s ridiculously easy to make. Start by mixing up a batch of taco seasoning. It’s a bold but not overpowering spice blend that can be used to season any type of meat, or vegetable for that matter. Double the recipe if you like, then store extra in your spice drawer to season other meals. Next, slice up a variety of peppers and an onion and saute them in the same pan as the seasoned meat.

The beauty of a one-bowl meal is ...

TABATA Muscle and Fitness Tabata Workout [pdf] Tabata is the name of a Japanese researcher who discovered a way to increase both anaerobic and aerobic pathways at the same time. It's an excellent training program that seems to fit across all training disciplines for athletes looking to increase their VO 2 max and lose fat quickly. What is it? It's simple: after warming up, take one exercise and perform it in the following manner: For twenty seconds, do as many reps as possible, or run, bike as hard as you can Rest for ten seconds Repeat seven more times! Eight sets of "as many reps as you can get done," followed with a brief ten seconds rest— simple and effective. This isn't "eight sets of eight," although the goal of doing eight reps in each of the twenty second clusters is about right. Instead it's "as many reps as I can get in" during the twenty seconds, followed by ten second...

Oxygen Debt | The Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption Effect Brad Taylor NaturalSociety Everyone knows that exercise leads to a healthy body, strong muscles, reduced stress, and weight loss. But what many people don’t consider is what happens on an internal level after exercise is complete. The number of techniques or strategies which could be implemented into your workout for greater achievement is endless. Some people think that steady, long, low-intensity workouts provide the best results, but this isn’t true. Jogging is a healthy activity, and walking may even be better, but rigorous exercise has a more profound impact on an effect that occurs in your body following exercise known as excess post-exercise oxygen consumption in order to take care of what’s referred to as oxygen debt . Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption EPOC refers to the rate of oxygen consumed in order to return to a homeostasis state and ‘fix’ the body’s oxygen de...

Bio-identical Hormones Natural Progesterone creme             In industrialized nations, an over abundance of estrogens, stress, environmental pollution, faulty eating habits and decreased nutrients in food, are creating hormone imbalances referred to as estrogen dominance.

These imbalances may be put in check by the use of natural progesterone.      Progesterone is a hormone produced by the ovaries and adrenal glands. Natural progesterone USP from wild yam is...

Testosterone Cream for Women What is testosterone cream? Testosterone cream for women is one of the most sought-after products, which helps the female species increase sexual enhancement through a very practical and easy way.

Some of the symptoms they experience from low levels of testosterone are dry and thin skin, inflammation of the vagina with painful intercourse, and gaining body weight. Many medical professionals believe that treating the female body with male hormones will cause acne, hair loss, or will make the pers...

Spice Rub Crock Pot Chicken by Sarah 1 5-6 lb free range organicchicken- gibletsremoved,rinsed, and patted dry with paper towels  1white onion sliced 1 tsp sea salt (optional) 2 tsp paprika 1 tsp cayenne 1 tsp white pepper 1 tsp poultry seasoning 1 tsp garlic powder Cover the bottom of the crock pot with the sliced onions.  Mix all spices in a small bowl and then rub the spice mixture all over the whole chicken.  Place the spiced chicken on top of the onions in the crock pot, cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours (depending on your crock pot).  No need for any liquid, the chicken will cook in it’s own juices.  Make sure you spoon the onions and a little bit of the juices over the chicken when you serve it.  I served my chicken with our favorite brussel sprouts, steamed for 5 minutes and then sauteed with a little olive oil, dried dill, garlic powder, and pepper. Enjoy!

Coconut Milk Kefir Ingredients: 1 tablespoon of kefir grains 1 can of coconut milk (or 1-2 cups of refrigerated coconut milk) Instructions: If the kefir grains are dehydrated (as they are from most online sources) you must first re-hydrate them in cows’ milk. Combine the grains with 1 cup of cows’ milk and set out at room temperature in a loosely covered glass container. For 5-7 days, strain the grains out each day and then place them in a fresh cup of milk. When the batches of milk take on a slight fermented smell and thicken, your grains are ready. Combine the grains with coconut milk in a glass container. Cover with a cloth secured with a rubber band and let sit in a warm place (68-85 degrees) for 12-24 hours. Once the coconut milk has thickened and has a slightly sour flavor, it has turned into kefir. Remove the grains, refrigerate and enjoy! Place the grains in new milk at room temperature to start a new batch of kefir (made from either coconut ...

Quick Paleo Meals Steak & eggs Steak and eggs are two of the cornerstones of the paleo diet so why not enjoy both together for even more goodness. This combination though is not new and steak & eggs have been enjoyed for a long time, either in the morning for breakfast or at night for dinner. It also coulnd’t really get simpler than this. This is a single recipe, but calculate about two eggs per steak. You can enjoy your eggs pretty much the way you like them usually, but in this recipe the classic sunny side up eggs are prepared.

  (NaturalNews) Onions are one of the most popular vegetables worldwide. While most children dislike their pungent and bitey flavor, most adults embrace and use them regularly. Red onions contain twice as many anti-oxidants as any other form of onion, making them a powerful part of an anti-inflammatory diet and lifestyle. Red onions get their bite from the many sulfur groups they contain. These sulfur groups include the diallyl sulfides: DMS, DDS, DTS & DTTS. These sulfur groups help produce cysteine within the body that aids in weight loss and detoxification. Additional research has shown that sulfur compounds have a strong anti-capacity that inhibits blood cell clumping. The sulfur compounds in red onions also lower LDL cholesterol & triglycerides while boosting HDL levels. They are associated with improving cell membrane function in red blood cells and improving oxygen utilization. This improves cardiovascular function as well as fat metabolism. ...

The Magic and Reality of Dr. Bronner's Castile Soap On my mission to make my house green , I came across chatter on the web about the wonders of Castile Soap, specifically, Dr. Bronner's Castile Soap . I was intrigued because my mom says my grandmother used to use Castile Soap to wash her delicate clothes back in the 50s and 60s, and it is made from either Coconut Oil or, if it's pure Castile Soap, made from Olive Oil and contains no sulfates or harsh synthetic detergents. I have very dry skin and have always had to fight off eczema, especially in the winter time, so I knew it was something I wanted to try. I read that there are many uses for the soap - an ingredient in homemade cleaning products, homemade laundry detergent, hand soap, body wash, shampoo and more. I thought it must be too good to be true, but I was feeling optimistic at the time, and decided to buy a whole GALLON from Amazon for $50. Are the claims right? Some of them are.  It's my...

7 Tricks to Transition to a Paleo Diet By Allison Nichols Also called the Caveman, Primal, Hunter/Gatherer and Stone Age Diet, implementing a Paleo lifestyle may seem daunting to you at first, but it’s easier than you may think. Living within a Paleo Framework means eating a widely varied diet consisting of: High quality animal protein (think wild meats, pastured chicken and 100% grass-fed beef) Healthy fats (from both animal and vegetable sources) Vegetables (of all colors, shapes and sizes) Fruit Nuts and seeds When moving from a diet of processed grain products to a Paleo diet, the trick is to crowd out the grains, legumes and dairy with healthy veggies, protein and fat in a way that flows with your usual daily routine.  Avoiding deprivation is a must—the more you feel deprived, the less you will want to follow through. That’s how most conventional diets fail. Making the shift toward a Paleo diet is a lifestyle change. Something that’s meant to las...
