One of my favorite juice is lime juice with lemongrass. I don’t really know what is it called in English but Vietnamese people call it ” nước chanh sả”. It has several benefits when you drink this lime juice. Lime juice contains the high amount of acid helps improve diet. According to some recent study and research, people who drink more water instead of sugary juice improve their diet. Moreover, lime juice with lemongrass can promote weight loss. Lemongrass may make you feel relax and better in illness. Here is my easy recipe that I use everyday:

Ingredients:

1 lime

ovaaaa

1 tsp honey

honey

50gr chopped lemongrass stalk

lemongrass2

Method:

  1. Put chopped lemongrass in the saucepan over medium heat. Leave it for ten minutes.
  2. Pour in into a bottle, add lime and honey.
  3. Combine with some cups of ice ( optional ). In my opinion, drink it when it warm is more tasty than when it cools down.

Who moved my cheese?

9780091816971

Shut down your phones, laptops, everything relates to the internet. Close your eyes, take a deep breathe for about 5 minutes and then slowly warm up your hands. Remember that we are out of the world. The first book in our blog is my all time favorite book called ” Who moved my cheese”. It’s written by Spencer Johnson, so i will tell you a little bit about himself. He was an American physician and author, he became known since the book series Value Tales and became famous by this book ” Who moved my cheese”. He was also the author of some bestseller book such as: The New One Minute Manager, One Minute for Yourself, etc. He was often written about self help for people and this book today is about self help, too. It talks about four characters in the maze and get struggling when finding cheese. Four characters are Sniff, Scurry, Hem and Haw, each of them represents the differences in the characteristics when facing with changes. It looks similar to a short story more than a book. I highly recommend my subscribers to read this, it just takes you about thirty minutes but it worths.

24 Clean Eating Tips to Lose Weight and Feel Great

1. Cut out Added Sugar

Eating too much added sugar has been linked to a wide array of health issues ranging from obesity to heart disease (1).

When transitioning over to a cleaner eating pattern, foods and beverages with added sugarshould automatically be phased out.

When cleaning up your diet, using healthy substitutes for your favorite sweet treats can satisfy cravings and keep you on track.

For example, swap your nightly bowl of ice cream for a clean treat like Greek yogurt topped with berries, unsweetened coconut and cinnamon.

2. Bring out Your Inner Chef

Many people depend on fast food and other quick, unhealthy foods to get them through busy days.

However, making a habit of buying meals and snacks on the run can lead to unhealthy choices and behaviors.

Although it’s not practical for everyone to cook all meals at home, preparing fresh, healthy food for yourself should be a priority whenever possible.

When eating clean, knowing what’s in your food is important and cooking for yourself is the easiest way to control what goes in and what stays out of your body.

3. Shop the Perimeter

Shopping the perimeter of the grocery store is one of the most popular pieces of nutrition advice.

This is because the perimeter of the grocery store usually contains fresh produce and healthy protein sources like eggs, yogurt and poultry.

Although the interior aisles of the grocery store do contain healthy items like canned beans and nuts, they also tend to be where most of the unhealthy items like chips, candy and soda are located.

Making it a priority to fill your cart with foods from the perimeter, including vegetables, fruits and proteins, before moving on to the interior of the store can help you stay on track and avoid tempting treats.

4. Support Your Local Farmers

Clean eating revolves around knowing your food and where it comes from.

There is no better way to honor this principle than to form a relationship with local farmers who grow or raise the food that you eat.

Purchasing food directly from small farms means that you can be informed about the methods used to grow produce and raise animals for meat, poultry, eggs and dairy.

Supporting local farms means building a connection with your food while supporting your local economy.

Plus, buying food directly from local farms means that you are guaranteed to enjoy the freshest in-season food available.

5. Stop Eating “Diet” Foods

When trying to lose weight, many people reach for “diet” foods like low-fat dressings, diet soda, meal replacement bars and weight-loss drinks.

These foods can be loaded with artificial sweeteners, preservatives and added sugar.

For example, low-fat yogurts can contain as much as 23 grams (6 teaspoons) of sugar in a half-cup serving (2).

When following a clean eating program, choose whole, non-diet foods like unsweetened, full-fat yogurt and natural peanut butter with no added sugar.

6. Go for the Green

Leafy green vegetables like spinach, kale and arugula are easy and nutritious ingredients that can be added to almost any meal.

Adding a mixed green salad to your meal, incorporating sautéed spinach into an omelet or tossing fresh kale into your favorite smoothie are easy ways to eat more healthy produce.

Greens — especially dark, leafy greens like kale — are packed with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that help your body thrive.

Try experimenting with different types of greens to narrow down your favorites.

7. Ditch Refined Carbs

Filling up on white rice, bread and pasta won’t do you any favors when it comes to health.

This is because these foods lack the vitamins, minerals, fat, protein and fiber that your body needs to function.

Plus, a high intake of refined carbohydrates has been associated with an increased risk of developing health issues like obesity and diabetes (3, 4, 5).

Swap refined grains for whole, fiber-rich grains like oats, barley, brown rice and farro for cleaner, more nutrient-dense carbohydrate options.

8. Choose Nutrient-Dense Foods

Foods that are considered “nutrient-dense” contain an impressive amount of nutrients but are relatively low in calories. They’re perfect for those looking to shed pounds.

Nutrient-dense foods include broccoli, berries, eggs, red bell peppers, seeds, wild-caught salmon and sweet potatoes.

On the other hand, foods that are considered nutrient-poor, like candy and fast food, are packed with calories yet contain few nutrients.

Choosing meals and snacks that are loaded with nutrient-dense ingredients is a smart and delicious way to get healthier.

9. Keep It Clean When Eating Out

As long as you know what to look for, eating clean can be a breeze no matter where you are.

Choose meals that focus on fresh produce, complex carbs, healthy fats and lean proteins.

Although it’s perfectly healthy to indulge in a treat once in a while, make it a point to limit heavy dishes like creamy pastas and fried foods as much as possible.

Additionally, swap the breadbasket for a healthy salad before your meal to increase your vegetable intake while filling up on fiber.

10. Meal Prep for Success

Prepping bulk meals for the week ahead ensures that you will have fresh, healthy options every day. It also keeps you from making poor food choices out of desperation.

For example, knowing that you have a delicious meal already prepared and waiting for you in your refrigerator can deter you from stopping at a fast food restaurant for a quick bite.

Try investing in a dry erase board for your kitchen where you can jot down recipe ideas, grocery lists and plan meals for the week ahead.

11. Eat Whole Foods

Eating mostly whole foods in their least processed form is a great way to eat clean.

A smart way to make the transition to a whole-foods diet is to focus on one meal at a time.

For example, if you’re used to eating a sugary oat cereal for breakfast every morning, switch to a bowl of rolled oats topped with fresh berries and natural nut butter.

Start transitioning out meals and snacks that contain processed ingredients and replace them with whole foods like vegetables, fruits, nuts, healthy fats and proteins.

12. Don’t Drink Your Calories

Drinking just a few calorie- and sugar-laden drinks per day can lead to weight gain over time and may increase your risk of developing chronic diseases like diabetes (6, 7).

Even healthy-sounding drinks like smoothies can be loaded with sugar, which isn’t good for weight loss or overall health.

To keep your added sugar intake to a minimum, hydrate with healthy options like water, water infused with fresh fruit and unsweetened green tea.

13. Follow a Plant-Based Diet

One of the best ways to make your diet healthier and cleaner is to eat more plant-based meals.

Vegetables can be added to almost every meal or snack, upping the nutritional content and taking the place of less healthy items on your plate.

Start by eating at least one plant-based meal per day, whether that be breakfast, lunch or dinner.

14. Take a Look at Labels

Reading nutrition labels lets you know if an item contains limited, clean ingredients or if it’s filled with sugar, unhealthy fats and artificial additives.

Focusing on eating whole foods that don’t need a label is always the best choice, but packaged foods can be added to your diet as long as they contain healthy ingredients.

A rule of thumb when shopping is to purchase foods that contain only whole, natural ingredients and are low in added sugar.

15. Focus on Ingredients, Not Calories

Although cutting out energy-dense, unhealthy items is crucial to weight loss, it’s more important to pay attention to food quality and ingredients than calories.

For example, although avocados and nuts are high in calories, they are packed with nutrients like fiber and healthy fats that can promote weight loss by keeping you satisfied between meals (8, 9, 10).

Plus, picking foods based on what will nourish your body rather than obsessing over which foods are “good” or “bad” can help you develop a healthy relationship with all foods.

16. Fill up on Protein

Diets higher in protein have been shown to suppress hunger, boost metabolism, increase muscle mass and decrease body fat (11, 12, 13).

Clean sources of protein like eggs, poultry, fish, tofu, dairy, nuts and beans can be easily added to any meal.

What’s more, combining protein sources with high-fiber foods makes for filling snacks that will keep you satisfied between meals.

For example, dipping sliced vegetables in a few tablespoons of hummus or topping flax crackers with egg salad provides a winning combination that’s sure to keep hunger in check.

17. Experiment With New Foods

Adopting a clean eating pattern that involves trying new foods is an excellent way to get healthier and expand your palate.

Trying out a new vegetable or spice every week can help keep meals interesting, too.

Before you know it, you will have a wide variety of ingredients to use in your recipes to make cooking enjoyable and fun.

18. Eat the Rainbow

Including a wide variety of nutritious vegetables, fruits and spices in your diet is an important part of eating clean.

Colorful options like berries, greens, sweet potatoes, red peppers and turmeric are packed with powerful plant compounds and nutrients that are essential for health.

One of the easiest ways to eat more brightly colored produce is to enjoy a large salad of mixed vegetables every day.

To up the nutritional content even more, top it with a homemade dressing of olive oil, turmeric, apple cider vinegar and fresh ginger.

19. Keep Your Pantry and Fridge Stocked

When transitioning to a healthier diet, it’s essential to be prepared. This way, you always have the ability to make healthy meals and snacks.

Set aside time every week to go grocery shopping, which will ensure your kitchen is stocked with the ingredients necessary to keep you on track with your wellness goals.

Keeping a supply of healthy canned, frozen and bulk ingredients on hand can make last-minute meals a breeze.

Canned beans, frozen vegetables and grains like quinoa and oats are affordable, clean ingredients that can be stored in the freezer and pantry to be enjoyed at any time.

20. Don’t Deprive Yourself

Although fad diets that drastically cut calories can be tempting, especially when trying to lose weight fast, they aren’t the best choice for healthy, long-term weight loss.

The most important factor in choosing a healthy method of weight loss is sustainability.

The good news is that clean eating is a weight loss method that can be followed for life, without depriving yourself or using unhealthy tactics to reach a healthy weight.

By simply cutting out ultra-processed foods and following a diet of whole foods, your health will improve in numerous ways, including losing excess pounds.

21. Make Healthy Versions of Your Favorite Treats

Limiting your intake of sweets and unhealthy snacks is important when trying to lose weight.

Fortunately, there are loads of delicious alternatives that can make clean eating easier, especially for those used to eating lots of sweets.

Some healthy sweet treat ideas include:

  • Dipping strawberries in dark chocolate
  • Making energy balls with nut butter, oats, coconut, cocoa and dark chocolate
  • Preparing chocolate pudding with avocado, coconut milk, dates and cocoa powder
  • Baking apples stuffed with chopped nuts, oats and raisins.

22. Clean up Your Coffee

Although coffee is a healthy drink on its own, additives like sweetened syrups, artificial sweeteners and whipped cream can negatively impact your health and waistline.

Popular coffee drinks like frappuccinos, mochas and sweetened lattes can pack in hundreds of calories.

In order to keep your coffee healthy and avoid flooding your body with excessive amounts of sugar, keep your drink simple and opt for unsweetened items.

23. Practice Intuitive Eating

Intuitive eating is a technique that teaches you how to make healthy choices and promotes a positive relationship with food.

It involves paying attention to hunger and fullness cues, which can decrease chances of overeating and help you overcome unhealthy habits like overeating.

Intuitive eating is a tool that may improve your mental health, as well.

One study found that women following an intuitive eating program experienced significant decreases in binge eating behaviors, as well as significant improvements in mental wellbeing (14).

24. Purchase Local and Organic Products

Incorporating organic, local foods into your diet can boost the nutritional value of your diet and decrease your intake of contaminants like herbicides and pesticides.

The Environmental Working Group’s Dirty Dozen list is an excellent resource that advises consumers on which foods contain the highest pesticide residues.

Making a point to buy organic versions of the foods on this list, such as strawberries and spinach, can help reduce your intake of potentially harmful substances.

Purchasing local, organic food isn’t only good for your health — it also benefits the planet by promoting biodiversity and reducing environmental contaminants.

The Bottom Line

Clean eating isn’t a diet — it’s a healthy way of eating that can be followed for life.

By increasing your intake of whole, clean foods and eating fewer unhealthy, processed items, you can positively impact your overall health and wellbeing.

Plus, eating clean can help you reach your weight loss goals in a healthy, sustainable way.

Try incorporating a few of these tips every week. Before you know it, you will be living a healthier, happier lifestyle.

EAT-CLEAN DIET

Rule 1: Eat Only Whole Foods

2 OF 13

ALL PHOTOS

That means eating oats and blueberries rather than a blueberry muffin. When you eat packaged foods, only buy brands that contain “real food” ingredients—ingredients you easily recognize, can pronounce, and would use to make a “from scratch” version in your own kitchen. If a food contains even one ingredient that makes you think “huh?” skip it, at least during the clean eating challenge.

Rule 2: Keep Meals Simple

3 OF 13

ALL PHOTOS

Delicious, healthy food doesn’t have to contain a lot of ingredients. Keep your meal ingredients to a minimum—just be sure to include a source of whole grains, lean protein, and healthy fat at each meal. For example, veggies and shrimp stir fried in sesame oil over a bed of brown rice seems restaurant quality but can be whipped up faster than takeout.

Rule 3: Eat Slower

Put your fork or spoon down between every bite, and focus on the flavors and textures of your food.

Rule 4: Eat on a Regular Schedule

Egg benedict

eggs-benedict-vertical-a-1600

INGREDIENTS

  • 8 pieces of bacon or 4 pieces of Canadian bacon
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley, for garnish
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons white or rice vinegar
  • 2 English muffins
  • Butter

Blender Hollandaise

  • 10 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Dash of cayenne or tabasco

METHOD

1 Cook the bacon: Heat a large skillet on medium low heat. Add the strips of bacon or the slices of Canadian bacon. Slowly fry, turning occasionally, until the bacon is browned on both sides, and if using strip bacon, much of the fat is rendered out (about 10 minutes).

Use tongs or a fork to remove the bacon from the pan, set on a paper towel to absorb the excess fat.

Don’t pour the bacon fat left in the pan down the drain! Either sop it up with paper towels when it has cooled a bit, or pour it into a jar to be used later (see rendering bacon fat).

2 Bring poaching water to a simmer: While the bacon is cooking, bring a large saucepan two-thirds-filled with water to a boil, then add the vinegar. Bring the water to a boil again, then lower the heat to a bare simmer.

3 Make Hollandaise sauce in blender: To make blender hollandaise, melt 10 Tbsp unsalted butter.

Put 3 egg yolks, a tablespoon of lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt in a blender, blend on medium to medium high speed for 20-30 seconds, until eggs lighten in color.

Turn blender down to lowest setting, slowly dribble in the hot melted butter, while continuing to blend. Taste for salt and acidity and add more salt or lemon juice to taste.

Transfer it to a container you can use for pouring and set it on a warm—but not hot—place on or near the stovetop.

4 Poach the eggs: Here is an easy method for poaching eggs. Essentially, working one egg at a time you crack an egg into a small bowl and slip it into the barely simmering water. Once it begins to solidify, you can slip in another egg, until you have all four cooking.

Turn off the heat, cover the pan, and let sit for 4 minutes. (Remember which egg went in first, you’ll want to take it out first.) When it comes time to remove the eggs, gently lift out with a slotted spoon. Note that the timing is a little variable on the eggs, depending on the size of your pan, how much water, how many eggs, and how runny you like them. You might have to experiment a little with your set-up to figure out what you need to do to get the eggs exactly the way you like them.

5 Toast English muffins: As soon as all the eggs are in the poaching water, begin toasting your English muffins. If you can’t get all the muffins toasted by the time the eggs are ready, gently remove the eggs from the poaching water and set in a bowl.

6 Assemble your Eggs Benedict: To assemble, butter one side of an English muffin. Top with two slices of bacon or 1 slice of Canadian bacon. You can trim the bacon to fit the muffin if you’d like.

Put a poached egg on top of the bacon, then pour some hollandaise over. Sprinkle some parsley over it all and serve at once.

Zucchini Pasta with Shrimp

zucchini-noodles-pasta-lemon-garlic-shrimp-4

Healthy zucchini noodles “zucchini pasta” are tossed with lemon garlic shrimp for an easy, family favorite dinner recipe. It’s naturally gluten-free and paleo-friendly and can easily be made Whole30 by replacing the white wine with chicken broth. Watch the recipe video above.

INGREDIENTS

—————————————————————————————————————————————–

  • 4 medium zucchini
  • 1.5 lb (approx 30) raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp butter or ghee
  • 1 lemon, juice and zest
  • 1/4 cup white wine (or chicken broth)
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley
  • pinch of red pepper flakes
  • salt and pepper, to taste

DIRECTIONS

  1. Wash and cut the ends of the zucchini. Using a spiralizer, make the zucchini pasta. Then, set aside.
  2. Heat the oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in one flat layer and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook for one minute without stirring, so the bottom side gets a little crispy.
  3. Add the chopped garlic, then stir the shrimp for another minute or two to cook the other side. Use a large spoon or tongs to remove the shrimp to a plate.
  4. Add the butter, lemon juice and zest, red pepper flakes and white wine to the pan. Bring to a simmer for 2-3 minutes while stirring.
  5. Stir in the parsley, then add the zucchini pasta and toss for 30 seconds to warm it up. Add the shrimp back to the pan and stir for another minute. Serve immediately.

LISA’S TIPS

If you’ve read my post on How to Make and Cook Zucchini Noodles you know I’m not a fan of cooking zucchini noodles. They become limp and soggy very quickly. So all you want to do is heat up the zucchini pasta without thoroughly cooking. That keeps it crisp and al dente.

The spiralizer I use in this recipe and all my veggie noodle recipes is my 3-Blade Paderno Spiralizer.

I always get asked if zucchini pasta recipes can be frozen and reheated. Unfortunately, due to the fact that zucchini is 95% water, these are not the best recipes to freeze/reheat once made.

American Skincare Routine

970-african-american-skin-care-routines-tips

This routine should sound familiar. “The American girl aims for fresh, healthy, young-looking skin,” says Kim Robertson, VP of customer experience and education at Kiehl’s. Preventing the signs of aging is a key priority for her, as is sticking to natural ingredients whenever possible. Though the everyday American girl isn’t quite as informed about the science of skincare as the average Korean, she is still concerned with avoiding harmful chemicals. And because we Americans like things to happen fast, she’s driven by the promise of overnight results.

A gentle yet thorough cleanser and toner are essential to the American girl’s routine, says Robertson. After toner, her focus is anti-aging—softening fine lines and restoring that coveted youthful “glow.” For this, she might reach for a concentrated serum, says Robertson, like Kiehl’s Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate ($60), which neutralizes free radicals to fight aging.

Another classic American step is to do a detoxifying mask once a week, like GlamGlow’s Supermud Clearing Treatment ($69) or Tata Harper’s Purifying Treatment ($65). And no American skincare routine is complete without night cream. Retinol-packed moisturizers, like RoC’s Retinol Correxion Deep Wrinkle Night Cream ($20), are always especially popular.
