100th Post Extravaganza!

100 Posts!

That's pretty sweet.

I've had a lot of fun writing for you guys, and even though I have slowed down quite a bit as I've gotten busier in life, I will continue to write when I have time! I love my fans, and I love helping people with nutrition even more.

Now for this post I'd like to do something fun. Over the last 99 posts, I have learned a TON of new info about foods, recipes, studies, and life. Here is my list of my favorite new "life tips" when it comes to living your life and eating well!

• Put sriracha on everything. It's obviously good on all Asian food, but it's also great on all vegetables and when combined with hummus
• Buy a crock pot. A big one. This way you can make "dump and set" recipes and have so many tasty leftovers you'll never look back
• Keep a large water bottle with you at all times and always filled. Also, keep a large pack of waters in your car as an easy go to when thirsty
• Don't pop ibuprofen all the time. It's not good for your stomach and liver! Drink water or eat a snack instead
• Eat one serving of yogurt a day. Your intestines will thank you
• Always take your multivitamin (if you have one) right after eating breakfast, lunch, or dinner!
• Refuel after a long practice with a beer! the carbohydrates will help in recovery and the alcohol involved will settle a "sour" post-workout stomach
• Didn't work out today? Cut back how much you eat at dinner
• Olive oil and balsamic vinegar is the best combination ever to put on a salad. Don't argue
• Spend the extra dollar when eating out to get the side salad or the healthier meal
• The majority of the beneficial nutrients in an egg is in the yolk (half the protein, and almost all the vitamins and minerals). Just watch for the high cholesterol content
• EVERYTHING in moderation (seriously, eat whatever you want, just not 18 of them)
• Always put extra fresh vegetables on your frozen pizzas

And lastly, make sure you try something new every week! Food is meant to be fun, so explore your taste buds, share your cooking expertise, and try the new restaurant. You'll come to understand (as I have) that just by simply learning about all parts of food, you will be eating better, healthier, and tastier meals and feel great about it!
