This is a delicious and nutritious dessert. It only takes a few minutes to prepare to boot! The cinnamon is warming and great for blood sugar and digestion. I leave the peel on the pears for extra fiber and texture. If you have difficulty with yogurt, I like to substitute with a nut butter like […]
This is a deliciously hearty soup. You will not miss the meat with this meal and it is very cost effective. Lentils like all beans are rich in fiber, which is great for lowering cholesterol and preventing constipation. In addition to being a great source of fiber, lentils and other beans are rich in magnesium, […]
This is a very simple way to add more leafy greens to your diet. Leafy greens such as spinach, kale, Swiss chard, mustard greens and bok choy, to name a few, are rich in magnesium, potassium and calcium. I love to suggest more greens in my patients diet because they help with muscle spasms, can […]
