Gut Health

For those of us looking to lose weight over the next twelve months, a brand new diet can not only help us hit our weight loss goals, but also introduces us to new foods, raises our energy levels, and helps us live longer, more fulfilled lives. To help streamline your weight loss process and guarantee a long and healthy life, we talked to a wide range of registered dietitians, nutritionists, and medical doctors to assemble the top six diets that help you live longer. The science is very clear that a plant-based or plant-forward diet is quite remarkable for its positive impact on longevity and healthspan," says Dr. Nicole Harkin, MD, FACC, founder and cardiologist of Whole Heart Cardiology. "Numerous epidemiologic studies…have demonstrated that an increased intake of plant-based foods results in reduced risk of cardiovascular and other causes of death," says Dr. Harkin.

To help us compile the list of the top foods that can lead to Alzheimer's, we asked Dr. Christine Bishara, MD and founder of From Within Medical, as well as Dr. Amber O'Brien, MD and health expert at EZCare Clinic on their opinions of which foods present the largest Alzheimer's risk. The common finding…is the disruption of the gut-brain axis through transmission of abnormal proteins through the vagus nerve that sends signals from the gut to the brain," says Dr. Bishara. [Any] packaged cookies or sweets with added ingredients such as high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils or sugar as the first ingredient [contributes to an increased Alzheimer's risk]," Dr. Bishara said. "People consuming starchy foods, including bread, pasta, [and] rice…excessively are also at an increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease," says Dr. O'Brien.

Back in the early 2000s, Hamilton Colwell, founder of Maia Yogurt, was inspired when a close friend of his needed healthy snacks during her pregnancy. She found herself conflicted between food that tasted good and food that was  actually  good. Immediately, Hamilton began his journey searching for the best ingredients to create a yogurt that the market has never seen, yet so desperately needed. Last, but certainly not least, each cup of our yogurt contains strands of live active probiotic bacteria, prebiotic fiber, protein, and all the other goodies you need to empower health & wellness.

Ladies, we know you can do a million and one things but getting kids to eat healthily, now that can be a challenge! Not to mention that a smaller dish size automatically scales down portion size, meaning kids will actually have room for second helpings. Try using familiar foods like pizza, pasta, or wraps as a canvas to introduce your children to new, nutritious ingredients. For example, make quick and easy pizzas by spreading tomato sauce, top with shredded cheese and then let your little chefs add their own toppings.
