Q & A

If cooking vegetables lowers their nutritional value, should we only eat them raw?

Is it more beneficial to run on a treadmill or outside?

What types of chocolate is healthiest?

These questions could go on for days and I have the answers!

While boiling veggies for just five minutes may cause them to lose 50 percent of their essential vitamins, you do not necessarily have to eat them raw.  Try steaming them which won’t leach out all of their water soluble nutrients.

It is generally better to run or walk outside. Your body has to work harder to overcome wind resistance and you are more likely to come across uneven terrain.

The most nutritious chocolate is bittersweet, so choose a bar that’s at least 70 percent cacao. A 100-calorie serving (about a 2 inch square) a day can lower blood pressure and improve circulation!

  

Have a Question?

Juice it up!

Did you know that a glass of 100 percent fruit juice counts toward your RDA of two to four servings of fruit? And people who regularly drink pure fruit juice consume higher levels of several key nutrients that are vital to good health including: potassium, magnesium, folate, and iron than those who don't. Juice is high in sugar, so limit yourself to eight ounces a day!
