Kenny and Joann: Let's Go More Raw, Y'all, to Restore Energy and Immunity
Most of us have seen or tasted miso soup in a restaurant, but we probably never realized the incredible health benefits of this underappreciated appetizer. In this blog, I’m going to give you twelve benefits of eating miso soup. The fermentation process creates raw enzymes and probiotics that will skyrocket our health. In fact, miso is the superfood of fermented foods!
So, what is the gut microbiome and how is it literally our second brain? In this blog, I will define the gut microbiome and focus on how we can make it healthy to increase our immunity. I will also discuss other ways it affects our health and what foods we can eat to feed it properly, as well as foods that hurt it and make us sick without us even realizing why.
I often ferment vegetables to maintain a high level of probiotics in our diet. They are so good for gut health, which increases our immunity! The fermentation process supplies far more enzymes, probiotics, and many more species than any supplement could possibly provide. I use two different tools to do this, but which one is the best?
These raw vegan donut holes taste so much like the real doughy thing that Kenny jokingly asked me if they came from Dunkin or Krispy Kreme. They are very delicious and are perfect snacks for kids of any age, including 57! They are a great, on-the-go snack for a busy schedule. They are quick and easy to make and even quicker to eat!
How much protein do you really need? It’s probably not as much as you think. In this blog, I’m going to break through the confusion and use some common sense to settle this debate once and for all.
This basic green smoothie is very versatile and can be adapted to your tastes. It is a fantastic way to not only get your greens and fiber, but to add in some serious protein and super foods! If you track your nutrients, you will see most of them fulfilled in this one meal. After some tweaking to your taste, these green smoothies can be quite delicious!
I would like to discuss a nutrient deficiency most people don’t know about that can cause many diseases. I call it “Electron Deficiency.” It can supposedly be cured by a little-known method called “Grounding.” Is it for real? Let’s dig in now.
This white chocolate cherry cheesecake is completely raw and vegan. This is Kenny’s all-time favorite raw dessert, so I made it for his birthday this year. It is simple to make and absolutely delicious! The filling is very creamy, while the crust is slightly salty and crunchy. The tartness of the cherries send this treat over the top!
After getting enough sunshine to help your body create vitamin D, we recommend moving to the shade or applying natural sunscreen. Most sunscreens contain harmful chemicals, so try this DIY sunscreen recipe. If you happen to get too much sun, we also have a DIY sunburn cream recipe that will sooth your skin and help reduce peeling.
Is sunshine really the best way to get vitamin D? We just recently vacationed in Florida. I noticed the great amount of sunscreen being lathered or sprayed on to avoid sunburn, as well as those hiding beneath tents and umbrellas. What should we really be doing to get this vital nutrient naturally?
