The Sweet on Blueberries
Want to add some extra goodness to your day? Start consuming more blueberries – an amazing superfood (at least in my book)!
Eating 1-2 servings a day of fruit is extremely beneficial for everyone (unless you have issues with low blood sugar or diabetes, then stick to 1/2 – 1 serving a day). Choosing healthy carbs, like blueberries, are low in sugar, will give you good energy and will provide you with an array of amazing nutrients.

Lessons Learned from the 28 Day Total Body Reset
I am a firm believer that there is no overall “one size fits all” way for everyone to eat. Yes, there are general guidelines about the type and quality of food that is best, when and when not to eat, how much to eat (or not to eat), but to think that each person can eat the exact same way as the next person and be healthy is pretty silly.

Old Fashioned Healthy Hot Cacao
In honor of the second snowfall of the season here in Colorado, I am reposting one of my favorite hot beverage recipes! I have a couple different variations that can be tried, which differs from the original post – but it still remains an amazing recipe for homemade hot cocoa! Especially since I now use cacao powder instead of cocoa powder (both are good, cacao has a sweeter taste to it that I like!)

Is Grazing A Healthy Way of Eating?
Reader Question: I’m thinking of trying the ‘grazing’ method of eating that everybody says is healthier than three regular meals a day. Is this healthy?
Answer: Plain and simple – unless you are working out 10 hours a day, 7 days a week, I do not believe grazing is a healthy eating option. There are many reasons behind my thinking, but the top two are: you stop the release and working of the hormone GLUCAGON, which is the fat-burning hormone, and you are causing the hormone INSULIN to be released and in your bloodstream non-stop throughout the day.
Why is this bad?
