EAT THAT: Almonds and their benefits !

If you are looking for a healthy snack on the go, then almonds should be one of your first choices on the list of things to take. Almonds can easily add to your cereal, trail mix, or have them on their own. The recommended amount of almonds is about one hand full which is about ¼ cup, each serving is about 162 calories. Let’s face it, if you’re like me you are not going to stop at a handful. The recommended amount gives you about 13 grams of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, 3.5 grams of fiber, 6 grams of protein and 75 mg of calcium.  All these added benefits in almonds may decrease the risk of heart disease. Look down below, I have added a few good reasons why you should be eating this nutritious packed snack!

Fun Fact

1.  Almonds help build strong bones and teeth this is possible due to the fact the almonds have phosphorus

2. Almonds can help lower bad cholesterol

3.  Eating almonds can reduce the risk of a heart attack!

4. Riboflavin and L-Carnitine found in almonds boost brain activity and reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease

5.  Almonds lower the rise in blood sugar and insulin after a meal

Hopefully after reading just a few of these facts almonds, maybe you might start eating them more often!

Note: Probably not the healthiest thing to do but coat some almonds in some brown sugar and throw them in the oven for a few minutes, its pretty good.

Easy Mousse Brownie Dessert

 I found these Mousse Brownies on Pinterest the other night and I had to try them, originally the person who made these mousse brownies used mint chocolate because it was close to Christmas time. I decided to use regular chocolate  in the mousse brownies instead of mint just because that’s what I had on hand. While making it I had a few hiccups here and there which ultimately made me start over, but once I got it right it actually turned out pretty decent.  This recipe is actually easy, you get to cheat by making boxed brownies and the mousse is made in a matter of minutes. NOTE: If you can, use a spring form pan a regular pan will do but

DRINK THAT: GREEN TEA

Recently every morning when I get up I have myself a nice hot cup of green tea, although some people might find this gross I put absolutely NOTHING in it and just drink it straight. I personally feel like adding sugar defeats the purpose. I have replaced drinking coffee daily with drinking green tea instead because of the many benefits that it comes with. Also I think I became addicted to drinking coffee, missing a day would give me headaches!  So the switch over was somewhat hard but green tea has many anti-oxidants within it that are beneficial to your health so how could you not be drinking it. Anyways I left a few good reasons why you should be drinking.

1. It has been said that green tea protects brain cells from dying, and it even restores damage that has been done to them! Also it has also been said to delay the deterioration cause by Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease

2. The second reason heart disease, it is said that it helps with preventing clots within the blood.  

3. Green Tea House reduce bad cholesterol 

4. It is also believe that green tea helps bring down blood pressure or prevent hi bro blood pressure 

5. Diabetes green tea how does regulator glucose levels which house with you your diabetes 

6.  The first reason is that green tea helps with weight loss, green tea increase the metabolism, the Polyphenol within the green tea intensify levels of fat oxidization

 I know that there are many coffee addicts out there but making the switch is worth it! So take the hard challenge of switching over.
