Making GR8 food choices can be confusing, especially with the growing selection of food products labeled all-natural over overshadowed by the many contradicting stories of what constitutes good food or bad food. To help you navigate these confusing waters, we’ll be examining the latest food trends and ancient wisdom. Most importantly, we’ll give you the information you need to choose the right food for you.

Foods for Gut Health

As we are learning how important gut health is to our mental, emotional, and physical health, we will discuss foods that promote gut health and how that can enhance your overall health. From speeding your digestion to the benefits of fermented food to spices for health digestion, and more.

Anti-Inflammatory Foods

Inflammation is your body’s natural response to injury and infection, but sometimes our immune system will trigger an inflammatory response when there is no injury or infection to fight. This type of chronic inflammation can be caused by a variety of factors, such as sugary or fatty foods. It can cause inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and other digestive issues. We share anti-inflammatory foods to add to your diet to help your digestion and reduce inflammation in your body.

Food Trends, Fads, and More

Is apple cider vinegar all that you need? Should you add CBD to everything? There’s always something new to learn and know about food and how it affects our bodies and our health. We examine the latest trends, such as why everyone seems to love bone broth so much, and what super powders to add to your diet.

Antioxidant-Rich Foods

We all know that antioxidants are good for us, but why? They help prevent the damaging effects of oxidation and free radicals on the cells in our bodies. And health authorities say that getting antioxidants from food may offer numerous health benefits. We’ll get behind the science of how these power foods help your body and improve yourself.

The Benefits of Fermented Foods

Fermented foods have been around for centuries, and if you’ve eaten yogurt, pickles, or sauerkraut, you’ve eaten fermented foods. We are now finding out that fermentation is more than just a way to preserve food. And that fermented food is more than something to eat for gut health, as science has uncovered the health benefits of these tasty, tangy super healthy foods.

And There’s Fun Stuff, Too

As much as we value the benefits of food on our health, we also acknowledge the importance of enjoying the food you eat. Food feeds our bodies and our souls. We’ll cover healthy substitutes for junk food, so you can get the benefits of eating healthful food and also enjoy something decadent.
