Happy Solstice! 5 Rituals To Ring In The Longest Day Of The Year
June 21, 2019 at 02:02AM Mission of the day: Spend time surrounded by flowers. Continue Reading… The summer solstice is a celebration of the longest day of the year, and it marks the height of the waxing season: a time when nature is blooming. Summer is synonymous with love, romance, and joy. Even the month of June was named after the goddess Juno, whose domain was love. Since this marks the moment that the sun begins to wane, cultures around the world have celebrated it by lighting bonfires to guarantee the sun’s return next year. Often, as part of these rituals, celebrants picked prized summer flowers and herbs—mugwort, chamomile, geranium, St. John’s wort, thyme, and pennyroyal—to throw on their festive bonfires. They believed these fires would banish sickness from their livestock and their families. For good luck, they jumped across the fire and even walked on hot coals, precursor to fire-walking ceremonies practiced today. In North America, Native Americans celebrate with a Sun Dance: offering a healing prayer to the Great Spirit and one of thanksgiving for the gift of the buffalo and for life itself. It begins with a period of fasting and purification. The ritual can last four days, as the participants dance to unify with Spirit and harmonize with all life. Looking to do your own solstice ritual that celebrates the love and abundance of Mother Earth? Here are a few simple ones to try today that are inspired by ancient, time-honored tradition: 1. Share the love. There

How to eat fresh (and healthy) at Subway, according to a dietitian
June 14, 2019 at 02:00AM by CWC With its distinct, bread smell wafting down the street, you know you’re near a Subway before you even see it. And you’re probably never that far from one either—the fast food sub chain has more than 40,000 locations, which is even more than McDonald’s. (Let that sink in for a sec.) Because the whole point of Subway is to customize your sub, it’s pretty easy to stick to the healthy eating plan of your choice when you visit—even if you’re vegetarian, on the Mediterranean diet, or a fan of Paleo. Want proof? Registered dietitian Kim Melton, RD shares her top Subway healthy options for each of the three aforementioned eating plans. Even if you don’t stick to a specific diet, her insight is there to provide a little guidance when ordering. Keep reading for all the intel.

While it’s full of great veggies like lettuce, cucumbers, olives, onion, and tomato, Melton points out that it’s lacking in protein. “If you’re a vegetarian who eats eggs and cheese, I recommend adding that,” she says. You can also get the same exact meal in sub form (the six-inch size), and if you do so, Melton says to opt for whole grain bread, which she says

How to make the Mediterranean diet work for you if you’re gluten-free
June 13, 2019 at 10:49AM by CWC As far as healthy eating plans go, the Mediterranean diet is the gold standard in many experts’ eyes. Its benefits are extensive and backed by years of research, it’s not overly restrictive, and it’s pretty easy to follow. Plus, who wouldn’t love a plan that encourages carbs and even a bit of wine now and then? However, the pro-carbs stance of the Med diet can make it a challenge for gluten-free eaters. If you have Celiac disease, you’re not about to partake in a pasta feed or even have a slice of whole grain toast with your breakfast—even though both things are approved on the diet—because you literally cannot digest those foods. Is there a way to benefit from this healthy eating plan while cutting out gluten? Absolutely! Here are some tips from dietitians on how to make it work for you. ad_intervals[‘400889_div-gpt-ad-8891272-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘400889_div-gpt-ad-8891272-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-8891272-3’);}); } }, 100); 1. You can still eat carbs—just ditch the gluten “Carbohydrate-rich foods, including vegetables, fruit, beans/legumes, whole grains, and nuts, are nourishing sources of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber. Not only do these foods provide a source of energy, they’re also rich in microbiome friendly fiber to help support healthy digestion and overall health,” says EA Stewart, MBA, RD, CLT. Which is why carbohydrates are an important part of the Mediterranean diet. So if you can’t have gluten, simply nix the whole grains contain gluten (like wheat, barley, and
Major new research finds there’s no one perfect eating plan for everyone
June 10, 2019 at 04:00AM by CWC Food is confusing. Your coworker might credit the ketogenic diet for helping with weight management while your next door neighbor says it definitely didn’t work for her. In Europe, a cup of coffee after dinner is the norm, whereas if you tried to adopt the habit stateside, you know it would have you bouncing off the walls until 4 a.m. A new study looking at data from about 1,100 people found that 60 percent of how we respond to food is totally unrelated to DNA—meaning that how your body reacts to food is going to be different than how your mom, sister, partner, friends, or favorite Instagram influencer react to it. The study was performed by ZOE (in conjunction with Massachusetts General Hospital and King’s College London), a nutritional science company that wants to better understand how people respond to food. The research was led by Tim Spector, a professor of genetic epidemiology at King’s College London, a co-founder of ZOE, and the director of the TwinsUK study. (Note: Spector presented his findings at the American Society of Nutrition conference in Baltimore, Maryland on Monday; a rep for ZOE says the study will be published later this year.) For two weeks, the participants (all healthy adult volunteers between the ages of 18 and 65) ate a mix of pre-set meals provided by the researchers and “free-living meals” (aka what they’d normally eat), logged their meals, and collected and recorded certain biometric data after
