The Best Protein You Can Eat, According To Nutritionists
Protein is the key to keeping cravings at bay, building lean muscle and dropping those last few pounds. But according to a new review published in Applied Physiology, Nutrition and Metabolism, it’s not just how much protein you eat that’s important: It's where you get your protein that also matters.
The reason is threefold. First of all, every source of protein -- from chicken to peanuts -- contains a different array of amino acids, the building blocks of protein. Of the 20 various amino acids, nine are “essential,” meaning you can only get them from food. So it’s especiall...

A 7-Step 'Seamlys' Approach to Healing My Auto-Immune Disease
At 37, after suffering two unexplained ectopic pregnancies, weight gain and extreme exhaustion I discovered I have Hashimoto's disease, an inflammatory auto-immune disease (AID). My family history is ripe with all kinds of AID from Parkinson's to Type I diabetes. Although I take a daily dose of medicine in order to regulate my thyroid gland, the gland itself is not the root of my problem. Rather, my body suffers from inflammation that triggers it to attack my thyroid gland as a way of protecting itself, since my immune system thinks this gland is an invader. This declared foreigner, my poor little thyroid gland that sits i...

Out Of Coffee? Eat These 10 Foods For Energy Instead
Photo credit: Paul Delmont, Thrive Market By Gina Vaynshteyn for Thrive Market Like most people who struggle to stay awake during the day, I absolutely need a cup of coffee to get me going -- and stay going.

Luckily, there are other foods that provide that same, lasting jolt. You don't need that afternoon latte to perk you up -- just work in one of these healthy snacks. 1. Almonds (or really any kind of nuts) No matter how many times we hear about their numero...

Ask JJ: Sneaky Sugars
Dear JJ: You talk about sneaky sugars being hidden culprits that make us fat and sick. I know obvious sources, like soda and candy, but where do "hidden" sugars lurk? It sounds so confusing!
"Sugar is the new sodium, reviled for its evilness," writes Theresa Albert. "It is contributing to the rise of everything from diabetes to Fatty Liver Disease, according to The Canadian Liver Foundation."
We know obvious sources. If you eat a candy bar or guzzle a can of soda, you're getting sugar, right? What become confusing are sneaky sugars that hide in seemingly innocuous foods. According to Emily Luchetti, less than 20 percent...

GMOs or No GMOs -- Is That Really the Question?
A quick review of some recent events shows public opinion saying no to genetically modified food. The USDA's establishment of a voluntary certification process to label foods free of GMOs, worldwide protests against Monsanto, and Chipotle's announcement to remove GMOs from their food menu are just a few examples.
A recent Pew survey leads to the same conclusion, finding that while 88 percent of scientists agree GM foods are safe to eat, only 37 percent of the public believes this to be the case.
The highly polarized GM debate too often devolves into good vs. evil, or corporate vs. small and organic farmers. The barrage o...

Losing Chrissy
My best friend and roommate died from brain cancer last month, and I keep expecting her to walk in the front door and wonder why I'm sitting here crying, listening to Adam Levine and eating her almond butter. I've taken to wearing her parrot print dress around the apartment, which I'm starting to see as vaguely cannibalistic. I would say it's making me feel better while I wait for her parents to come from Indiana and collect all of her things, but I also know that my grieving process is kind of all over the place. She really didn't care for Adam Levine, and I think that's what's making me cry.
