Moroccan Cod & Bulgur Salad

Updated on Leave a Comment on Moroccan Cod & Bulgur Salad1 min read

Ever tried ‘bulgur’ before?

Bulgur is a whole grain made from cracked wheat.

It’s packed with vitamins, minerals and fiber.

And as you may know, many of today’s gut health problems are a result of a lack of fiber.

Highly refined foods, like white bread and white rice, have had all the fiber removed.

The result is that these carb rich foods get turned quickly into glucose…

Which then skyrockets our blood sugar. And

For this reason, eating more iber-rich foods like bulgur may reduce chronic disease risk… promote weight loss and improve digestion and gut health.

Bulgur is also easy to cook and can be added to many dishes, including salads, stews and breads.

Salmon & Peach Salad

Updated on Leave a Comment on Salmon & Peach Salad1 min read

Buying salad dressing in a bottle sure is convenient.

But it can be terrible for your gut health.

Premade bottled marinades can contain addictives like:

X Disodium Guanylate

X Disodium Inosinate 

X Monosodium Glutamate (MSG)

These three ingredients listed above are common flavor enhancers…

But they’re also though to worsen inflammatory conditions, like gout or uric acid kidney stones.

So for this reason alone…

In my Salmon and Peach Salad recipe I’ve included instructions on how to make a salad dressing from scratch…

A salad dressing free from nasty toxic additives and made from gut healing ingredients instead.

Chicken, Orange and Walnut Salad

Updated on 1 Comment on Chicken, Orange and Walnut Salad1 min read

Think oranges are the ONLY fruit that’s powerful at fighting colds and flus?

Nope.

Not at all.

There’s also a bright red fruit that’s a powerhouse at boosting the body’s immune system.

In fact, it was cultivated during the times of ancient Roman times for this very purpose.

Can you guess what it is?

POMEGRANATE!

You may know already that pomegranate has benefits for some types of cancer, balancing blood sugar and libido.

Yet it turns out to be great flu fighter too.

This is because pomegratae contains compounds called tannins.

And these tannins help support the body’s natural defence against infections and flu viruses.

Pomegranate also contains ellagic acid, which is potent at treating viral and bacterial infections.

So there you go.

Pomegranate’s have more flu fighting power than oranges…

And my chicken, orange and walnut salad contains both.

So if you’d like an immunity boost and better gut health at the same time…

Want to know one of the reasons why so many people struggle with their weight these days?

As you may know, protein is one of the main building blocks in our body.

It’s true.

Other benefits of protein include:

  • Reduced Appetite and Hunger
  • Increased Muscle Mass and Strength
  • Strong, healthy Bones
  • Reduced Cravings for Fattening Sugary Snacks
  • Boosted Fat Burning Metabolism

Lack of protein may be the cause.

High Protein Blueberry Pancakes

According to the Environmental Working Group…

We’re now surrounded by 80,000 chemicals in our daily lives.😬

This means that – whether from household cleaning sprays, car fumes or an endless list of other sources – we’re ingesting a daily ‘drip drip’ of toxins into our bodies.🤢

We still don’t know exactly what this means for our long-term health. 

But some studies show that the ‘toxic load’ we’re carrying is getting locked into our fat cells and may be increasing the risk of chronic inflammation…🔥

Which in turn can cause blood sugar issues… rocketing cholesterol… and all sorts of chronic symptoms.

So it’s a good idea to help your body detox to reduce all the chemicals we ingest daily.

How can this be done?

One way is to sit in a sauna every day and sweat the toxins out.😅

Another way is through food!😋

One of the most potent antioxidant foods around are blueberries.

As well as helping to flush out toxins…

Blueberries may reduce DNA damage to protect against aging…

Protect health cholesterol levels…

And lower blood pressure.

So it’s no wonder blueberries are regarded as one of the top ‘superfoods’.

And my blueberry pancake recipe allows you to get a delicious daily dose of blueberries…🥞

With an optional added scoop of whey protein for an every boost.🏃‍♀️

While being gut healthy, as it contains ZERO sugar!

Egg & Turkey Stuffed Peppers

Want to know what may be the most important vitamin for your immune system?

No, it’s not vitamin C.

But vitamin D.

Vitamin D was found to be a common factor among people who fell critically ill from the virus in a study of 9940 people in Germany.

You can get vitamin D naturally from sunlight.

But with many people stuck indoors most of the time…

And to get through the grey winter months…

It’s a good idea to get your vitamin D levels topped up.

Supplements is one way.

Another way is to eat eggs.

A single egg can provide 40% of your daily required vitamin D levels…

And a whole host of vitamins and minerals.

Because eggs are one of the most nutrient dense foods around. And you should eat them as often as you can.

But if you don’t like eggs fried or scrambled…

My Egg & Turkey Stuffed Peppers make a delightful, vitamin D rich lunch.

Quinoa Tabbouleh

Quinoa is the supergrain of the future.🌾🧡

Awareness is fast rising that we need to eat less factory farmed meat…

For the sake of our health, the environment and animal welfare.🐮

This means getting protein from other sources.🏃‍♀️

One day, this could involve eating more protein packed bugs (most likely in powdered form).🐛

But until that day arrives, quinoa is one of the most protein rich foods around.🌾

What’s more, quinoa has almost DOUBLE the fiber of most other grains.

It’s also rich in iron, magnesium and Riboflavin.

So it’s arguably the most gut healing grain around, along with a powerful source of protein.

In my Quinoa Tabbouleh recipe, you’ll also find juicy tomatos, fresh cucumber, bell pepper and red onion…🍅🥒

Combined with finely chopped herbs and a drizzle with lemon juice.

So it’s a deliciously cooling dish, perfect for the hot days of summer. 
And quantifiably gut healing in many different ways.🥗🧡
