Moroccan Cod & Bulgur Salad

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 glucoseโ€ฆ

Which then skyrockets our blood sugar. And

For this reason, eating more iber-rich foods like bulgur may reduce chronic disease riskโ€ฆ 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

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

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 thatโ€™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 bodyโ€™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.

Pomegranateโ€™s have more flu fighting power than oranges…

And my chicken, orange and walnut salad contains both.

So if youโ€™d like an immunity boost and better gut health at the same timeโ€ฆ

Spinach Shakshuka

Where would Popeye be without his spinach?

Struggling to rescue Olive Oyl from Bluto, no doubt.

In the cartoon spinach was the secret to Popeye’s super strength…

And while studies have yet to prove eating an entire tin of spinach in one go gives you superpowers…

There’s no shortage of science to back it’s wealth or other health benefits.

This includes:

Strengthens bones thanks to its high amount of Vitamin K

Strengthens eyesights due to beta carotene, zeaxanthin, lutein and chlorophyll

Reinforces the immune system – Spinach is high in vitamin A, which helps our kin block out viruses and bacteria.

Heart health due to the presence of lutein content that prevents thickening of walls of arteries.

So you see, spinach may not make you super strong…

But it CAN make you super healthy.

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 timeโ€ฆ

And to get through the grey winter monthsโ€ฆ

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 levelsโ€ฆ

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 scrambledโ€ฆ

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

Awareness is fast rising that we need to eat less factory farmed meatโ€ฆ

One day, this could involve eating more protein packed bugs (most likely in powdered form).๐Ÿ›
