A DIET high in fat reduces the risk of getting dementia, research has revealed. It found dementia sufferers were more likely to have low cholesterol levels, while those with high cholesterol - linked to a diet rich in saturated fats - were significantly less likely to have signs of the disease. The study, published in the journal Frontiers in Neurology, examined 3,836 people aged over 50. Taking into account other factors such as diabetes, blood pressure and body mass index,

A few weeks ago, I spent the day in the city in Boston, MA and wanted to try a few new food places that I had heard were pretty good. One of the places I went to was Jugos Supremo in the South End. I has seen them online and heard that they were pretty good so I decided to check them out so I did. The first thing I noticed about the place was that it was very small and quaint, like a lot of Boston cafes and restaurants, but it was very welcoming and homey at the same time. I

Happy Friday! I’m so excited that the weekend is here and I hope you are too! It’s been so hot in Massachusetts this week that I’m actually looking forward to fall! I miss cozying up to warm foods and drinks and snuggling up in some sweats! Crazy, I know that I’m wishing summer away. Yesterday, I had a craving for some warmer foods and some red meat. I decided to meal prep last night and make some sautéed ground bison, boiled sweet potato, boiled radishes and kale chips. Warm

It’s Friday eve everyone! That means only one sleep until the weeekdend is in full swing. I went on a little food prep binge last night and made lots of goodies that I am so excited to share! I usually always like the start with the easiest thing to make first just to get it out of the way while I’m prepping. I haven’t had kale chips in a while and I totally forgot how good they are and how simple they are to make! So, let’s talk kale! Kale is no ordinary green. It is actuall

If you follow me on Instagram @inspirednutritionandhealth or have seen a few of my past blog posts, you will notice that I certainly do not shy away from fat and that I actually try to incorporate it into each meal or snack that I have. If this is first time you are visiting my site, hi! My name is Katie and I love to eat yummy, fat filled foods that nourish my body and give me plenty of energy to do what I love. Back in the 90's, dietary fat got a bad rep for being attribute

Who loves french fries? Wait, a better question is, who doesn't love french fries?! They come with every meal and taste so dang good. French fries are usually made from white potatoes but they can also be made from sweet potatoes or really any vegetable for that matter! White potatoes taste great but they don't give us as much nutrition as other vegetables can. One of my favorite vegetables to french fry are Jicamas. Raise your hand if you have never heard of a Jicama before

Almost every morning I will start my day off with eggs for breakfast. I am egg obsessed! They are packed full of protein, vitamin B12 and vitamin D. They help to hold me over until my next meal or snack. Rarely do I ever have eggs just by themselves. I usually always will have a vegetable or healthy fat mixed into it and load it up with seasonings galore. I am a big tasty food advocate. I recently started adding turmeric into my scrambled egg mix to get in some extra nutrient

Did you know that we have more bacteria in our body than there are stars in the sky? Wow. That's seriously hard to imagine! The bacteria in our gut have created a world of their own and function independently to break down and digest our food so that we are able to absorb and extract the nutrients from the food we are eating. However, not all of the bacteria in our gut are nice. It's almost like a superhero movie where the villains try to take over the city and destroy all th

I usually always start my day off with an avocado in the morning. I use avocados for their amazing health benefits and thickening characteristics. I will share my favorite recipes in this post for you to try! Even if you don't like avocados, you will still like these recipes. If you are a chocolate lover, you will absolutely love my favorite recipe with avocados! Naturally, avocados are a nutrient rich superfood. They are loaded with healthy fats, vitamins and minerals. A lot

One of my favorite drinks for the summer is an apple cider vinegar tonic. Apple cider vinegar probably isn't the first thing you think about reaching for when you want to cool down because it is known for its pungent taste and odor. It is a powerful fermented juice from crushed apples that has amazing health benefits! A (fermented) apple a day keeps the doctor away! This juice is so versatile it could be used in cooking, drinking and even household cleaning. I'll even include

Detox. It seems like this word is thrown around a lot lately without much knowledge of what it actually means. I often hear it used in phrases like, “My body needs to detox from sugar” or “I’m going on a detox this weekend”. The word detox actually means to remove toxins from the body that have built up over time and is a system of cleansing the body of these harmful substances. Detoxing is not an easy feat and surely cannot be done in a weekend alone! Our body is bombarded w
