Start the Day Off Right With a Healthy Breakfast

If you select ready to eat breakfast cereals wisely there are several varieties that fit the criteria for a heathy breakfast. Steer away from cereals loaded with refined grains and added sugar.

NCI Visuals Food Meal Breakfast

The healthy ones include:
  • cold cereals made with whole grains provide your body with a steady supply of energy over the course of a morning, these also contain fiber that helps control blood sugar levels, lowers cholesterol and promotes good bowel function
  • most cereals contain B vitamins like niacin and folate, vitamin E, iron, magnesium and protein

Eat a nutrient filled bowl of cereal as opposed to sugary pastries to help you NOT overeat later in the day due to spikes and crashes of blood sugar levels. Remember to pay attention to  your cereal portion size. Just because it is good for you does not mean you should eat more than a recommended serving. Check the nutrition facts label to find the correct portion.

What to look for:
  • at least 3 grams of fiber per serving
  • around 6 grams or less per serving in added sugar
  • look for whole grains such as oats, whole oat flour, whole grain corn, and whole wheat
  • extras that may boost nutrient power may also contribute more fat or natural sugar
  • enjoy cold cereal with reduced fat milk or plain soy milk that will help boost the protein and calcium content of your breakfast. source: Weill Cornell Medicine, Women's Nutrition Connection, Iris Cantor Women's Health Center

An even more convenient start to your day might be a 100% grain-free, plant-based protein powder shake in a nutrient-rich blend of clean, high-quality proteins including pea, chia, pumpkin, hemp and quinoa.

At only 100 calories, it contains 14 grams of high-quality protein in every serving. For comparison, one-half of a boneless chicken breast, cooked is about 13 grams of protein and 115 calories.
Life’s Abundance Plant Protein is absolutely delicious and you can feel great about drinking it every day, because each and every ingredient was carefully chosen for its quality and safety.

While other protein powders use sunflower oil, we decided not to use this oil because it is high in omega-6 fatty acids, a fat that is much too prevalent in the American diet. Our Life’s Abundance Plant Protein contains non-GMO coconut oil powder, which is a great source of beneficial fatty acids that are easily absorbed. In addition, this health-promoting oil adds to the delicious taste and smooth texture of our blend.
Life’s Abundance Plant Protein is ideal for pre or post workouts, breakfast or whenever you need a healthy boost of energy from protein or a quick on-the-go snack.

With a superior taste and texture, it mixes easily with water into a silky smooth, rich and satisfying shake. Add to smoothies, pancakes, baked goods, oatmeal and more for a delicious way to increase protein.

Eat More Berries to Help Postpone Memory Decline

A study published in the Annuals of Neurology suggested women who ate two or more servings of strawberries and blueberries each week avoided memory problems for an average of 2.5 years longer than women who did not eat berries on a regular schedule.



The study began in 1995 and continued on until 2001. Memory was measured at two-year intervals in 16,010 older women (mean age 74).

Conclusion:

Researchers felt the health benefits in the berries resulted from flavonoids, antioxidants believed to combat he inflammation that has been linked to cognitive decline. source: Weill Cornell Medicine, Women's Nutrition Connection, Iris Cantor Women's Health Center

Mineral and Antioxidant Drink Mix
 Americans are deficient in minerals. In fact, way back in 1936, the Department of Agriculture told congress that 99% of the population was deficient. Regrettably, there are many more recent studies confirming varying amounts of mineral deficiencies in our diet, mainly due to their depletion in our soil.
We need minerals! Vitamins cannot work properly without them and they are absolutely vital to maintain our mental and physical well being. Since the body cannot manufacture minerals, they must come from our diet.
Life’s Abundance Minerals & Antioxidants drink mix is a delicious way to supplement your diet.
This unique mix is made with a variety of freshly harvested sea vegetables and contains approximately 74-plant based, naturally chelated, trace minerals. For an additional nutritional boost, it also contains antioxidants from 11 nutrient-rich super fruits like acai, cranberry, goji, maqui and pomegranate ... making this a high ORAC beverage blend. ORAC stands for oxygen radical absorbance capacity and it's a way of measuring the antioxidant level, which is important because antioxidants are essential to good health.
Unlike many liquid water enhancers made from chemicals, our formula is made with coconut water and aloe vera and it does not contain any added sugar, artificial flavors, colors or preservatives. The organic coconut water replaces electrolytes plus it is alkalizing, which helps to restore a natural pH balance in the body and counters the effects of an acidic diet.
Instead of giving you a sugar crash like most other “health” drinks, our Minerals & Antioxidants mix gives you sustained energy.
Give hydration a boost with Life’s Abundance Minerals & Antioxidants. In two delicious flavors, Cherry and Tropical Fruit, pour into a water bottle for a convenient, go-anywhere nutritious drink. Take it to the gym or give a bottle to the kids … it’s delicious, refreshing and nourishing!

Choose the Right Kind of Fish

Fish has for a long time now been promoted as brain food. It is at the top of the list of healthy foods due mainly because of findings that eating fish is associated with a reduced risk of Alzheimer's disease, vision loss, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The American Heart Association recommends eating fish at least twice per week.



Even with all the good that is said about fish, certain types of fish have more health benefits, and some fish even has toxins that harm the environment when caught or farmed. So what kind of fish should we be eating twice per week?

Fish facts:

Fatty fish or oily fish and a variety that is healthy include:
  • salmon
  • mackerel
  • herring
  • tuna
  • trout
  • sardines
The above varieties are healthy because they contain unsaturated omega-3 fatty acids that help keep the heart, brain and immune system healthy.

Non-fatty fish is also a fish category that is healthy and includes:
  • cod
  • grouper
  • snapper
Non-fatty fish do not have the same high levels of omega-3 fatty acids as oily fish, yet they are still a high-quality source of protein with loads of vitamin B12 and other nutrients.

Experts caution us against eating too much of certain kinds of fish that may have high levels of mercury especially during pregnancy. These fish varieties include:
  • shark
  • swordfish
  • king mackerel
  • tilefish
Nutritional value also varies according to whether or not the fish was farm raised or wild caught. For example: Pacific cod is not overfished but Atlantic cod is and some fish experts assert that farm raised salmon can contain higher levels of PCBs and other contaminants. It is good to know scientists tell us both farm raised and wild caught fish varieties are safe to eat.

Even people well educated about fish sometimes run into trouble when choosing fish. That is because some seafood labels are mislabeled. Well, that certainly is good to know! And...the FDA has banned some imported seafood from certain countries.

Where can we find valid information about fish and what kind of fish to eat? Organizations such as the New England Aquarium and the Monterey Bay Aquarium provide fish educational information for consumers on which fish to eat and which to avoid. source: Weill Cornell Medicine, Women's Nutrition Connection

We also have the option of taking a fish oil supplement to help us along if we are unsure of what kind of fish to eat for best of health as well as for those who are well educated about fish. We also need to be well informed on which fish oil supplement is best for our health and that which we get the most benefit for our bucks spent. Life's Abundance offers a high quality fish oil supplement you can trust. When you go to their website, you can read the facts about every batch supplied.

Fish Oil

Not all Fish Oils are Created Equal

The benefits of including additional Omega-3’s to your diet are well known. However, unless you’re taking a high quality supplement, you may be better off not taking one at all. In this case, what you don’t know could hurt your wallet and your health.


The Solution

Life's Abundance omega-3 fish oil supplements are highly concentrated and ultra pure and they meet or exceed the highest standards in the industry for quality assurance. In fact, each and every batch of Life's Abundance Fish Oil is tested by an independent third party organization (IFOS) and the results are posted right here so you can see the quality, concentration and purity that ultra-pure fish oil supplements can offer you and your family.
