Zinc is one of the most important minerals in the body – it’s essential for overall health and needed for activity in over 100 different enzymes. Zinc is necessary for healthy brain function, gut health, the suppression of excess inflammation, proper mood function, hormone production, protein synthesis, DNA metabolism, energy, the stress response, growth and development, and taste acuity. A zinc deficiency can have a huge impact on immune health, which is why zinc is so helpful when you have a cold! Many people don’t get enough zinc, with reports suggesting that over 2 billion people are deficient in it. The body cannot store zinc, so regular intake is crucial for optimal health.

Stopping binge eating for good is a complex topic that takes far more than a single blog post to cover, but adjusting someone’s diet is almost always an important first step in the recovery process. I have personally struggled with binge eating and have helped countless clients recover from the same struggle, so I wanted to share an overview of the nutrition strategy I use to get people on the right track.

If you’re looking to make the most out of your time working out, full-body workouts are the way to go. This is a great workout for when you want to hit all parts of your body in a timely manner! All you need is a set of dumbbells. The heavier your dumbbells are, the less reps you’ll need to do.
I don’t usually think of soup when I think of my ideal summer meal, but gazpacho is the one very important exception. If you haven’t had a good gazpacho yet, GET READY FOR THIS!
The first time I ever had real gazpacho, I was in Sevilla, Spain, visiting a friend who was studying abroad. Most days I would explore the city while she was in class, but I decided to join her for just one class… cooking.
Guess what we made that day? Gazpacho! I was shocked at how few ingredients it took to make such a delicious gazpacho, and how much better it tasted than any gazpacho I had tried in the U.S. Gotta love real ingredients!
That experience definitely turned me into a gazpacho fan, especially because I discovered that it was so easy to make. If you haven’t had gazpacho before, it’s a cold soup made from tomatoes and other blended vegetables. It’s a Spanish staple for good reason!
It really is that simple – tomatoes, some other vegetables, spices, olive oil… and blend it all up! This is a great soup to whip up if you’re short on time or just want something simple, and it’s perfect if you want a liquid meal on a hot summer day!
This is definitely not your average boring tomato soup. It will turn you into a soup lover! This cool, refreshing soup with light summer flavors is the perfect addition to anyone’s meal rotation. You can serve it as a main or a side! It’s paleo, vegan, vegetarian, packed with veggies, easy to make, and a dish everyone will love!
Yield: 2-3 large bowls
Time: 10 minutes
If your hair is feeling thin, brittle, or slow to grow, you’ve probably been looking into ways to grow your hair back fuller and stronger. First, I caution you against falling for any of the quick fixes / marketing schemes out there. Throwing chemicals at your hair follicles is not the way to go. When it comes to hair growth, you want to take a natural approach so it doesn’t backfire on you in the end. The key to getting longer, thicker, fuller hair is to support your body from the inside out so that the new hair that grows in is exactly what you want. If you’re interested in hair growth, let’s get into what you need to know!
