Easy Ways to Sneak More Fiber Into Your Diet

October 7, 2014 by

Fiber helps to prevent chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, and cancer, and it even aids in weight loss because it makes you feel more full after eating. If all of these things sound good to you, check out these common foods to help incorporate more fiber into your diet.

  1. Pears. One small pear packs an impressive five grams of fiber, and it’s tasty, too. Eat one whole for a handheld snack while you’re on the go, or slice one up and add it to a summery salad.
  2. Oatmeal. Your favorite healthy breakfast food is filled with soluble fiber. Eating fiber-packed oatmeal everyday can help you lose weight and lower your cholesterol.
  3. Raspberries. Seed-filled fruits, like raspberries, boast about eight grams of fiber per cup. Eat them alone or sprinkle some fresh on top of your favorite Greek yogurt.
  4. Artichokes. Although artichokes don’t seem like the likeliest source of fiber, they’re actually packed with a whopping 10 grams each. One artichoke also only contains 65 calories, so it makes a great way to lose weight and consume more fiber.
  5. Whole-wheat noodles. Instead of reaching for your usual spaghetti at the grocery store, opt for a whole-wheat pasta instead. One cup offers six grams of fiber, which is twice the amount of regular pasta.

3 Halloween Treats Your Kids (and You!) Will Love

October 3, 2014 by

Kids get a lot of candy during the Halloween holiday, but it isn’t very healthy to consume so many sugary, packaged treats. Instead of the usual store-bought candy, make your children a homemade treat using wholesome ingredients. Here are three creative recipes for Halloween treats that you’ll likely to love just as much as your kids.

Ghostly Pudding Milkshake [kraftrecipes.com]
Milkshakes may seem like a dessert meant more for summer than fall, but this monstrous milkshake makes the ideal Halloween treat. Vanilla pudding creates a sweet and creamy base, and you can add a scary jack-o’-lantern or monster face using some melted chocolate and a paintbrush after pouring it in the glass.

Spooky Veggies and Dip [parenting.com]
While vegetables likely aren’t your kids’ favorite snack, they might change their tune when they see these creepy vegetable sticks. Green beans turn into slithering snakes, an olive slice and a pea transform cherry tomatoes into eyeballs, and adding dip to the end of a carrot stick creates a faux severed finger.

Skeleton Quesadilla [babble.com]
Turn your kids’ lunch into a Halloween masterpiece by making a skeleton face out of nutritious quesadilla. Best of all, you can customize the faces to create a whole family of skeletons for all of your little ones.

Essential Beauty-Enhancing Products You Already Have at Home

September 26, 2014 by

The next time you want to try a new beauty product, you might want to start by browsing your kitchen cabinets instead of heading to the drugstore. Many common foods and oils can double as creams, scrubs, and skin treatments! Here are a few beneficial beauty products that you likely already own.

  1. Tea bags. Instead of investing in a pricey eye cream to get rid of those dark circles after a night out, use some tea bags instead. Soak two green tea bags in warm water and lay them on your eyelids. The caffeine will shrink the appearance of blood vessels, while the antioxidants reduce inflammation.
  2. Oatmeal. Make your own face treatment by using your favorite breakfast oats. Place a handful of whole oats inside of a washcloth and secure it closed with a rubber band. Soak the whole thing in a sink of warm water until the water turns cloudy, and then splash it onto your face. This will create a protective barrier on the skin that seals in moisture and provides anti-inflammatory properties.
  3. Oranges. Use oranges to get rid of pesky dry patches on the skin. Squeeze half of an orange into a bowl and mix in 1/4 cup of granulated sugar and 1/4 cup of olive oil. Rub the other half of the orange on dry knees or elbows to loosen the dead cells, and then rub on your homemade scrub to slough them away.
