Fermented foods have been shown to be probiotic-rich and may help balance the microbiome and support the immune system! Our bodies naturally have good or helpful […]

Here is a good article on the health benefits of probiotic foods such as yogurt, kefir and fermented sauerkraut, etc. These are vital to stomach and intestinal health, as well as stronger immunity, and believe it or not — better sleep. Here’s an excerpt on this from the Nutrition Breakthroughs Blog:
***************************
“Yogurt is also a great choice to eat in the evening to help with sleep due to the high amount of calcium it contains. The beneficial bacteria in yogurt has been studied for its ability to create a deeper, longer-lasting sleep.”
“A 2017 study from the journal “Beneficial Microbes” tested the effects of yogurt probiotics on sleep. The researchers concluded: “These findings suggest that daily consumption of (a yogurt strain) may help to maintain sleep quality during a period of increasing stress.”
“Regarding the calcium in dairy products, William Sears, M.D. writes: “Calcium helps the brain use the amino acid tryptophan to manufacture the sleep-inducing substance melatonin. This explains why dairy products, which contain both tryptophan and calcium, are one of the top sleep-inducing foods.”
“Plain, unsweetened yogurt is healthiest and Greek yogurt is a great, high-protein choice. Fresh fruit can be added as a natural sweetener.”

Are you making New Years Resolutions? Since we’re facing a new year (and a new decade!) I’m sharing my list of Nutritionist Approved New Years Resolutions… 20 more words
via Nutritionist Approved New Years Resolutions — Hey Nutrition Lady
This is a very simple and to the point article. I agree with the things it says and have written a similar post about “listening to your body” for the Nutrition Breakthroughs blog.
Every person is different and we cannot solely take other people’s advice or a doctor’s advice for what has worked for them. Personally I have tried many different types of diets and not one of them works for me in it’s entirety. I’ve found that a combination of different foods and principles is the right approach for me — and these can also change day to day or week to week.
A body needs a variety of different types of foods and nutrients to be healthy. Continue to explore different kinds of whole foods and find new ones that agree with you, while continuing to eat those that give you strength and energy.

This is an interesting article on how different people respond to foods – the main point is that everybody is different. And it’s true that we need to be alert to any reactions we have from certain foods and remove them in the future if there’s any bad effects.
The best way to eat for you may not be the same for someone else, so be sure to include healthy foods, proteins, vegetables, fruits, carbohydrates and fats and be wary of cutting out any specific food groups from your diet.

Everybody is different. Which means we all react differently to fat consumption and the body’s inflammatory response. A study recently published in the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry by researchers at the Agricultural Research Service and their University of California-Davis colleagues gave some unexpected results.
“We looked at the inflammatory reactions of 20 volunteers at 0, 3 and 6 hours after eating a standardized meal containing 38 percent fat and their responses were completely unique. No two were exactly the same,” explained molecular biologist Danielle G. Lemay at the ARS Western Human Nutrition Research Center in Davis, California.
What does that exactly mean? To explain we must understand what inflammation is: a defense mechanism used by the body. When we get injured, the body sends white blood cells there. Surprisingly, we can get inflamed from eating certain foods. This reaction is normal, especially when consuming meals with high amounts of fat. This…
