The Weekend Food Diary Of A Healthy Family On A Budget
Because I'm a dietitian, people assume that every meal and snack my family eats features all food groups and looks Pinterest-perfect. But, like most moms, I'm just trying to balance my dreams of kale-eating kids with their love for boxed mac-and-cheese. And while I strive to feed my family as many fresh, whole foods as possible, I'm also working with a food budget.
So what does that mean in the real world? Here's what the lead-in to the weekend typically looks like for my family -- myself, my husband, and my two boys, ages 12 and 8 -- the good, the not-so-good and everything in between.
Breakfast: My husband and I are bo...

Why This Father Feeds His Son Freakish Fruit And Vegetables
Jordan Figueiredo’s son, Evan, hates salads.
The 5-year-old, like many 5-year-olds, just can’t get into his greens. But if there’s one thing he can’t get enough of, it’s carrots with legs. Or peaches with noses.
Basically, if it’s a fruit or vegetable that doesn’t look the way it’s “supposed” to, Evan is calling dibs. And the weirder it looks, the more he wants it.
Evan gets this from his father. The elder Figueiredo works by day as a solid waste specialist for the Castro Valley Sanitation District, about a 40-minute drive outside of San Francisco, working to make...

Eye Strain Caused by Digital Screens
I’ve noticed a frightening trend occurring around the world. Instances of eye problems are increasing with rapid numbers.
Problems like myopia – once thought to be genetic – are going up exponentially with each passing year.
Many eye diseases have no early symptoms. You may not see a change in your vision until the disease has become advanced.
Are Eye Problems Genetic?
We have to look at the bigger picture here… eye problems aren’t always genetic, and there are changes in our environment that are having a negative impact on our eyesight.
Serious Eye Problems That Affects Your Vision

A Nutritionist's Guide to Stocking a Healthy Kitchen
It's no secret that preparing our own meals makes it easier to stick to a healthy-eating plan. You know the ingredients going into your food, and there's no sneaky extra sodium, sugar or calorie bombs hiding in home-cooked meals.

Can I Still Be Italian If I Don't Eat Pasta?
Illustrated by Mallory Heller. "Cut out the booze and the coffee. And dial back your workouts." That's what the doctor told me a few months ago. My first reaction: no, no, and no. When a woman gets that kind of talk from a doctor, it's probably because she's pregnant. But not me -- I had just been diagnosed with adult onset Type 1 diabetes (it's commonly known as juvenile diabetes). I was floored -- I exercised five times a week and steered clear of fast food and soda. Turns out, that didn't really matter. "This is an autoimmune disease, it has nothing to do with your lifestyle," my doctor said. To stay alive and ma...

If You Eat Any Fruits Or Vegetables At All, You're Doing Better Than Half Of America
If you’re feeling down about how you eat, consider this: if you eat about one cup of fruit and more than 1.5 cups of vegetables a day, you’re actually eating better than about half of all Americans.

And if you eat two cups of vegetables a day (another recommended serving size), that’s better than almost 90 percent of your neighbors. We say this not to put down our fellow Americans, but to point out that eating more fruits and vegetables is linked to lower rate...
