Pico De Gallo Avocado Boats 🥑🍅

Avocado and tomatoes are a delicious combination. They complement each other well in terms of flavor and texture. Avocados provide a creamy and rich taste, while tomatoes offer a juicy and slightly tangy flavor.
Avocados are also highly nutritious, containing healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals. Their versatility and mild flavor make them a popular ingredient in various cuisines and dishes.

Avocados contain healthy fats, primarily monounsaturated fats, which are believed to aid in the absorption of certain nutrients, including lycopene. Lycopene is a carotenoid pigment found in tomatoes and other red fruits and vegetables. It is a potent antioxidant that has been associated with various health benefits, including potential cancer-fighting properties.

Pairing tomatoes with avocados provides the body with both lycopene and healthy fats, potentially enhancing the absorption and utilization of lycopene’s health-promoting properties. ❤️💚

Food combining is a dietary principle that suggests specific combinations of foods should be consumed together for optimal digestion and health benefits. Proponents of food combining believe that certain combinations can improve digestion, prevent bloating, and promote overall well-being.

Some common principles of food combining include:

✅Separating protein and carbohydrates.
✅Avoiding consuming fats with proteins.
✅Fruits should be eaten on their own or on an empty stomach, as they are quickly digested.

What’s your favorite food combo and which one do you try to avoid the most? I do my best to eat fruit alone, on an empty stomach, or at least 20-30 minutes before or after consuming any other food for optimal digestion. 👌

Meal Prep: Green Veggies & Purple Potatoes

Meal Prep: Leafy greens, asparagus, Brussels sprouts and purple potatoes. 💚💜

Happy Monday! 😀 Did you plan your meals for the week ahead? What did you prepare? 🌱

This time I included purple potatoes. Purple potatoes have more antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties than regular white ones. 💜

The colors found in fruits and vegetables are antioxidants which are disease-preventing phytonutrients. ❤️💜💙🧡 Plant-based foods contain more than 100,000 phytonutrients. 🍎🍆🍇🌶️🫐🍒🍉🍠 Eating many different colorful fruits and vegetables ensures we get a wide variety of phytonutrients. 🌈

Plant-Based Lifestyle Benefits

The benefits of a plant-based diet are enormous. 💚🌱Research shows that mostly a whole food plant-based lifestyle is the biggest contributor of optimal health and longevity. 🙌🏼

A plant-based diet can be beneficial for maintaining a healthy body weight and potentially lowering BMI (Body Mass Index). Plant-based diets are typically rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and nuts, which are generally lower in calories and higher in fiber compared to animal-based products. This can help with weight management and reducing BMI over time.

Plant-based diets are generally lower in saturated fat and cholesterol, which can be found in animal products. By avoiding these components, vegans often consume fewer calories and experience reduced risks of obesity, heart disease, and certain types of cancer. Additionally, plant-based diets are typically rich in fiber, antioxidants, and phytochemicals, which can support overall health and weight management.

Physical activity levels still play a significant role in achieving optimal health. It’s crucial to maintain a well-balanced and nutrient-dense diet, along with a healthy lifestyle, to promote overall well-being.

To measure my BMI, I use the smart scale from @fittrack. BMI stands for Body Mass Index. It is a measure commonly used to assess an individual’s body weight in relation to their height. I also use this tool to measure overall body composition and other individual health indicators.

FitTrack is a smart scale that connects with a free app and gives you health and body data for you to understand your body better.

FitTrack is the #1 choice Body Composition Monitor to help you reach your weight, health and fitness goals. FitTrack helps you to get a comprehensive picture of your body which helps you to make smarter choices.

Vegan Baked Feta Zucchini Noodles🍜

I love eating raw zucchini spiralized into spaghetti for a healthy gluten green and grain free substitute to pasta dishes or as a salad. 🍝

Zucchini is highly alkaline, a great source of vitamins and minerals including fiber and potassium and rich in antioxidants. Zucchini can help reduce constipation and bloating. Due to its low calories, it is a great weight loss food. 👌

Anyone remember the baked feta pasta trend a couple years ago? 😋I decided to try it on zucchini noodles this time. 🙌🏼How do you usually prepare or cook zucchini? 👇🏼
