Strawberry, Mint and Flax Seed Smoothie
“One must ask children and birds how cherries and berries taste” Strawberries are very flexible and can be used in any dessert because of their taste, texture and most importantly their colour, which is one on the most attractive amongst all the available fruits. Here is my first recipe of a smoothie using strawberries this winter. It's a simple combo of strawberry, mint and yogurt with a dash of flax seed to give it a crunch and increase the protein content, thus making it a healthy drink. Best part about this dish is that it requires ingredients that are readily available in the market and require minimum time for preparation. A perfect combo of flavour along with this perks is something which you wouldn’t like to miss. So without wasting more time I will take you through the simple steps closer to the heaven.

Ultimate Rules for an Anti-Inflammatory Diet
An anti-inflammatory diet is crucial for your long-term health. Now first and foremost, inflammation can be a good thing. What? That’s right. Inflammation is a good thing. At first. When you stub your toe, the inflammation you feel is your white blood cells gathering together and fighting off damaged tissue. If you have a nasty cough and your chest feels inflamed, it’s because your white blood cells are kicking out the viruses.

How Do We Avoid Malnutrition?
Hordes of nutrition surveys over the last few decades have only confirmed what most individuals instinctively know; the quintessential 'balanced American diet' is anything but. In generations past, a typical American family naturally obtained all the required nutrients just by virtue of eating a proper meal three times a day. But now, we're busier, and seem to value convenience over eating healthfully. Processed foods have often been stripped of nutrients since it can last longer or tastes better this way. The most important tool to understand why America is suffering from malnutrition is to first be aware of what your body can and can't do on its own.

How to Grow Your Own Tomatoes
The tomato is used in more sauces, canned in more soups, drunk in more juices—to say nothing at all about Bloody Marys—put in more salads, slopped on more pizzas, grown in more home gardens, and pinched, poked, and haggled over in more markets than any 10 of its closest competitors. Not a bad track record for a berry once thought to be an evil aphrodisiac.
