Forget the Old Saying: “Feed a Cold, Starve a Fever”

It’s time to debunk this myth! While that phrase is just a bunch of baloney, there’s plenty to be said for “sick-friendly foods.”

One standout? Chicken soup! Research shows that it can help fight colds in at least two studies. It not only helps clear nasal congestion but also thins mucus, making it easier to cough up. Plus, it may even have a mild anti-inflammatory effect to ease those pesky cold symptoms.

Recent research highlights the significance of chicken soup in relation to colds for several reasons:

  1. Nasal Congestion Relief: Chicken soup helps clear nasal congestion, making it easier to breathe when you’re dealing with a cold.
  2. Mucus Thinning: The warm broth can thin mucus, which aids in coughing it up and clearing the airways, providing relief from respiratory discomfort.
  3. Mild Anti-Inflammatory Effects: Studies suggest that chicken soup may have a mild anti-inflammatory effect, which can help alleviate cold symptoms and promote overall comfort during illness.

Overall, chicken soup is considered a “sick-friendly” food that not only provides nourishment but also offers specific benefits that can help ease the symptoms of a cold. It’s a comforting option that many people turn to when they want to feel better.

So, the next time you’re feeling under the weather, grab a warm bowl of chicken soup and let it work its magic!

Are You FOCUSED or are You DESPERATE?

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

When it comes to achieving your health goals, your perspective on food, nutrition, and lifestyle choices can greatly impact your journey. The question to ask yourself is: Are you FOCUSED or are you DESPERATE?

The Importance of Focus

Having specific health goals can transform the way you view nutrition and the choices you make. When you are focused, every meal becomes an opportunity to fuel your body and move closer to your objectives. This is where having a solid plan becomes crucial.

  • Working with a Personal Trainer: When you hire a personal trainer, they should take the time to discuss your fitness goals and design a tailored plan that aligns with those aspirations. This personalized approach keeps you accountable and motivated as you work toward your targets.
  • Collaborating with a Nutritionist: Similarly, a nutritionist should do more than just suggest healthy meals. They should provide a comprehensive approach to good health, considering your lifestyle, preferences, and nutritional needs. This holistic view can help you create sustainable eating habits that support your long-term goals.

The Mindset Shift

However, you don’t need to hire a personal trainer or nutritionist to live a purposeful, healthy life. What you do need is the right mindset and a bit of planning. Here are some tips to cultivate focus in your health journey:

  1. Set Clear Goals: Define what you want to achieve, whether it’s weight loss, improved fitness, or better overall health. Write these goals down and keep them visible.
  2. Develop a Plan: Create a structured plan that includes your fitness routine, meal prep, and self-care practices. Having a roadmap makes it easier to stay on track.
  3. Stay Mindful: Pay attention to your body’s signals. Listen to what it needs and make adjustments as necessary. Mindfulness can help you distinguish between hunger and emotional eating.
  4. Seek Support: Whether it’s friends, family, or online communities, surround yourself with people who support your journey and encourage you to stay focused.
  5. Celebrate Progress: Acknowledge your achievements, no matter how small. Celebrating your progress can boost your motivation and reinforce positive behaviors.

Where Do You Stand?

Do you identify more with being focused on your health goals, or do you find yourself feeling desperate for change? Reflecting on your mindset can help you shift your approach to health and nutrition. Remember, it’s all about creating a sustainable lifestyle that empowers you to reach your goals.

Unlocking a Healthier You: My Journey with the R3 Metabolic Reset

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

I can’t talk enough about my passion for sharing this incredible BOX right here! Our health and wellness should always come first, and I’m excited to share my transformative journey with you.

A Commitment to Change

In 2022, I decided to get serious about my health. I committed to a life-changing way of eating. Back then, I was a fast-food junkie, relying on convenience and indulging in my favorite sweets daily. Yes, I was addicted to Dunkin’ Donuts—I could easily devour two or three at a time, always craving that sweet sugar rush! And let’s not forget my love for chocolate; it was my go-to treat for any occasion.

A Game Changer: The R3 Metabolic Reset

Then, everything changed when I discovered the R3 Metabolic Reset. This amazing eating plan opened my eyes to new possibilities. All I had to do was follow an easy Yes/No List, and the results were incredible! In just six weeks, the inches and pounds melted away, and I found myself craving healthy organic vegetables and lean proteins instead of junk food. I even learned to enjoy occasional carbs while balancing my meals with exercise.

Now, four years later, I can proudly say that the 125 pounds I lost are gone forever! This program taught me how to adopt a healthy regimen and lifestyle that I never thought possible. I know I will never return to that unhealthy version of myself again.

Are You Ready for a Change?

If you relate to my story or just need to shed some extra pounds, I can help you on this journey. Embracing a healthier way of living doesn’t have to be a solitary experience; together, we can support each other every step of the way!

So, who’s ready to take the leap and transform their lives? Join me, and let’s embrace a brighter, healthier future together!

Discover the Best Beef Tallow at Riverbend Ranch

Oh boy! If you’re a fan of The Wellness Store, you’re in for a treat. They just announced a jaw-dropping product that you won’t want to miss!

Have you been using tallow? If not, now is the perfect time to dive in and experience the best tallow on the market. We’re thrilled to introduce our very own beef tallow, crafted right here at Riverbend Ranch in our dedicated manufacturing plant.

Why does this matter? Well, I recently uncovered some shocking truths about where store brand tallow comes from and how it’s made. Let’s just say, it’s not pretty, and the deception on labels never ceases to surprise me.

Why Choose Riverbend Ranch Beef Tallow?

Our beef tallow stands out for several reasons:

  • 100% Pure: Our tallow is free from any additives or harmful substances.
  • No Growth Hormones or Antibiotics: We prioritize your health and the welfare of our animals.
  • No mRNA: You can feel confident about what you are consuming.
  • No Rank Beefy Smell: Our tallow is fresh and odor-free, unlike some others on the market.
  • Not Bleached: Yes, you read that right—no bleaching here!

And the best part? You can get all of this quality for just $14.95 for 14 oz!

Why Tallow?

If you’re not already in your tallow era, let me tell you why you should be. Tallow is incredibly stable for high-heat cooking and frying. Plus, it contains zero carbs and zero sugar, making it an excellent choice for those watching their diet. It also supports hormone health since fat is a vital building block for hormones.

Additionally, tallow is a fantastic alternative for anyone looking to avoid processed oils.

Muffins for breakfast, anyone?

Simply Fit Banana Muffin Mix.

I couldn’t wait to bake up these new banana muffins. This mix is gluten free, packed with protein and fiber, and made with allulose to maintain stable blood glucose levels. Did you know allulose is the sugar contained in figs and raisins? It is 70% as sweet as table sugar, but so much better for you. If you are cutting the sugar foods in your diet, this is a yummy treat you would love! I like to give my puffins a little extra touch by adding a few pecans into the mix. They are delicious and seem like a decadent breakfast treat. They are also approved for R3 if you are following the plan.

Another great find

Simply Fit Pancake Mix

Waffles were on the menu for breakfast this morning! I love the Simply Fit Pancake Mix and the waffle recipe did not disappoint! I made the recipe for eight pancakes, with the addition of one tablespoon of oil (I use olive oil), per the instructions on the bag. This gave me six 4.5″ x 3.75″ waffles.

If you haven’t tried this mix yet, I highly recommend it! It’s gluten free, packed with protein and fiber, and made with allulose to maintain stable blood glucose levels. Being a LADA diabetic means that this mix is great for those like me who need to watch heavy carb loading and the resulting blood sugar spikes that regular pancake mix causes. Plus, it’s actually delicious with a lightly sweet taste without the need for syrup or other sweet toppings to accent the normally bland taste of pancakes. I sometimes add a handful of blueberries to the batter for a change of pace.

Since I am certified with R3, I’m happy to say that this is R3 friendly. Although it’s best to wait until you are in the Reintroduction phase of the plan. Why not during the Reset phase? Reset is a major metabolic reset so stick only with products that are on the “yes” list. Once in the Reintroduce phase, you can add “no” list items, while observing how our bodies respond to each reintroduced item.

I love this plan and all of the great products I’ve found—after all this is how I lost over 100 pounds If you haven’t checked out the R3 plan, I highly recommend it!

A Word About Garlic

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Garlic has been a staple in natural medicine for thousands of years, dating back to the ancient Egyptians. Gravediggers in 18th century France crushed it in wine to fight off the plague.

Also soldiers were given garlic during both WWI and WWII to prevent gangrene. It was used as an antiseptic, applying to wounds because they thought it prevented infection.

Lab results show that garlic contains compounds that help kill cancerous cells. The Iowa Women’s Health Study researched 41,000 middle-aged women who consumed garlic regularly. The result? They were found to have a 35% lower risk of colon cancer than their counterparts who did not consume garlic.

There are several studies that connect consuming raw garlic to a reduced risk of some specific cancers:

  • Eating it twice/week appeared to lower odds of liver cancer
  • Eating it more than twice/week appeared to lower the risk of lung cancer
  • Eating it once/week was associated with lower odds of esophageal cancer in smokers and drinkers

TIPS:

  • A garlic press can be one of your best friends in the kitchen. Savvy chefs just use the side of a knife with pressure.
  • Roast garlic with your veggies in the oven to saturate them with avor.
  • Add crushed garlic to salad dressing and sauces.
  • One surprise use for garlic: combine with honey and vinegar to make a healthy tonic
