All about ROSEMARY: When I think of rosemary, I think of roast potatoes. #mmmmm Like so many herbs, rosemary is anti-inflammatory and can support the immune system. This is important because chronic inflammation is a strain on the immune system.⠀ ⠀ It can enhance memory and brain clarity (perfect for the afternoon slump!) and some exciting research shows it may have a therapeutic use in protecting the brain against neurological conditions like Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's. ⠀ ⠀ Here are some ways to use more of this powerful herb:⠀ ✔️In soups, broths and casseroles⠀ ✔️As seasoning on chicken and other poultry, lamb, pork, steaks, and fish⠀ ✔️ In salads (I've used it in a chickpea salad)⠀ ⠀ I know rosemary has a pretty potent smell that isn't for everyone, so start small, and I hope this has encouraged you to consider using it more often 🙂.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #brainhealth #antiinflammatory #immunehealth #immunesystem #rosemary #potatoes #herbs #herbalmedicine #alzheimers #dementia #seasoning

I'm all about simple ways to make recipes a little better for you.⠀ ⠀ Store-bought jam is one of those foods. Most of the jams, jellies, and other toppers we put on our morning toast are actually pretty high in sugar. For example, some popular brands of jam have ~3 teaspoons of sugar per serving of jam. ⠀ ⠀ 🍞Imagine a tablespoon of sugar onto your toast for context (if you follow the serving guideline but I’ve never had just one tablespoon of jam lol)⠀ ⠀ Thankfully, making your own low sugar jam/fruity spread is actually really easy!⠀ ⠀ I was recently interviewed for an article on @mindbodygreen all about How to Make Healthier Homemade Jams. The article features several nutritionists and dietitians who share their tips for some simple ways to make delicious and healthy homemade jams and recipes to go along with it.⠀ ⠀ You can find the article, which includes this simple 3 ingredient jam recipe in my link in bio.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #homemadejam #lowsugar #berryseason #lowsugarrecipes #chiaseeds #summerrecipes #bloodsugarbalance #bloodsugar

I came across some research a little while ago and thought it would be worth sharing since Natalia (@talbrags), a nutritionist on my team, suffers from migraines every once in a while and has shared how debilitating they can be.⠀ ⠀ A study comparing sumatripan, a common migraine pain medication, and ginger tablets found that the ginger was about as effective as the sumatripan at reducing the severity of the headache.⠀ ⠀ Another 2018 study comparing a ginger extract supplement with ketoprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, found that the ginger was actually more effective at decreasing migraine symptoms.⠀ ⠀ This is likely due to two anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving compounds - gingerol and shogaols. Ginger is also effective at reducing nausea and vomiting, which is a common side effect of migraines.⠀ ⠀ One of the big plus sides of this is that ginger poses less side effects than sumatriptan and other prescription drugs.⠀ ⠀ Ginger capsules and gel are the main forms that have been researched for oral use but ginger essential oil on your temples can also relieve some of the inflammation caused by migraines.⠀ ⠀ Do you suffer from migraines? Let me know if there's anything specific you have found that helps.⠀ ⠀ PMID: 23657930, 29768938.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #ginger #migrainerelief #migraineremedies #migraines #headaches #migrainesufferer
