Follow @westerly911 for the best health, fitness & nutrition tips. - Nuts are a great snack, but VERY easy to over-consume if you’re not careful. With most serving sizes being a small handful, it’s easy to enjoy many servings without even realizing it. Pistachios make you put in work, so by the time you eat 25 of them, you’ve already burned 500 calories trying to crack them open. ... While you can weigh out a portion of nuts to keep you on track, that might not always be an option. So hopefully this guide can help you going forward! Knowing how to eyeball portions and estimate calories is a great skill to have. The goal may not always be to eat 100 calories, but having a rough idea of what 100 calories of nuts looks like can help you big time when it comes to estimating. Which nut is your favorite? - Credit @cheatdaydesign - #fittips #diettips #diethelp #nutrition101 #weightlosstips #weightlosshelp #flexiblediet #flexibledieting #fatlosshelp #fatlosstips

9 Foods That Balance Hormones @chris.rocchio_fit . . Follow @westerly911 for more healthful tips .... Keeping hormones in balance is difficult when we are surrounded by endocrine disruptors (chemicals that alter hormone function). They are found in food, cosmetics, plastics, scented and hygiene products, water supplies, etc. You can’t escape them, but no need to stress out about them too much when there are steps you can take to mitigate their effects. - Biggest culprits are xenoestrogens (mimic estrogen). Estrogen dominance is a problem for both women & men, & having too much is associated w/ higher body fat %, low muscle mass, & higher risk of cancer. - Here are 9 foods that can help you metabolize excess estrogen & restore hormonal balance. - 1Citrus fruits: Provide antioxidants (vitamin C, hesperidin, quercetin) that protect against damage from estrogen and D-limonene, which metabolizes and removes estrogen. - 2Fermented Foods: probiotic bacteria aids digestive function, which aids eliminating estrogen & reducing body fat. Stored body fat secretes estrogen. - 3Cruciferous Veggies: Metabolizing estrogen down a specific pathway (C-2) decreases cancer risk. These veggies provide the compounds glucoraphanin & DIM that promote elimination via the C-2 pathway. - 4Red Wine: Moderation is key, but a small amount provides a healthy dose of antioxidants, like resveratrol, that help remove estrogen & block aromatase (an enzyme that turns testosterone into estrogen). - 5High Fiber Fruits/Veggies: reduce the amount of a specific enzyme that recirculates estrogen in the body. - 6Green Tea: blocks aromatase and contains antioxidants that protect against damage. - 7Seeds: Sesame, fenugreek, flax: Provide a fiber called lignans that bind to estrogen in digestive tract & excretes it from the body. - 8Fish Oil (Omega 3): EPA & DHA help eliminate estrogen safely down a pathway that doesn’t damage DNA. - 9Tart Cherries: rich in phytonutrients that raise levels of melatonin, which blocks aromatase. . . . . . . #health #nutrition #healthydiet #healthyfood #healthyliving See more

How to Cook Broccoli 9 Different Ways! #repost @confessionofadietitian Got a broccoli and not sure what to do with it? Well now you have 9 different ways to cook it! Fun fact- Broccoli's shade of green changes when cooking because of heat! Green plants like broccoli changes color because heat causes the magnesium atom of each chlorophyll to be replaced by hydrogen. This causes the chlorophyll molecule to change from bright green to gray green, changing the pigmentat...ion of broccoli. Now let’s get cooking . Boil: cooking in 1 cup of boiling water for 3 minutes and 7 minutes covered. Steam: cooking in 2 cups of boiling water for 3 minutes and 10 minutes covered. Microwave: cook for 3 minutes on High with 1 tbsp of water. Blanch: cook for 2 minutes in boiling water. Drain and place the carrots in an ice water bath for 2 minutes. Roast: Preheat the oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss the vegetables with olive oil and spread evenly on the baking sheet. Roast 15 to 22 minutes or until browned around the edges. Slow Roast: Preheat the oven to 325F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss the vegetables with olive oil and spread evenly on the baking sheet. Roast vegetables for an hour, or slightly longer, turning them every 20-25 minutes. Stovetop: Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable in a single layer. Let the vegetable "roast" and keep it browning for a minute for more flavor. Grill: Preheat grill to medium heat. Place the vegetables on the grill. Grill the vegetable until knife-tender and slightly charred, flipping every 2 minutes for 8 to 10 minutes. Cook Forever: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the vegetable and cover the pot to bring it back to a boil quickly. Blanch the vegetable for five minutes. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable. Cover the skillet, turn the heat to very low, and cook for two hours. Use a spatula to turn the vegetable over in the skillet a few times, but try not to break it up. It will be very tender when done. . . . . . #broccoli #cookingtips #diy #eatclean #eathealthy See more

Did You Know ? Dragonfruit has so many health benefits. It is high in vitamins, minerals, and plant compounds that have been linked to reducing cancer risk. The significant level of vitamin C may help to fight chronic disease and boost your immune system. This fruit is loaded with fiber, providing 7 grams per 1-cup serving, making it a good choice when managing your weight (fiber fills you up) as well as aiding in digestion as it promotes a healthy gut.4 One of the few frui...ts that contain iron, dragon fruit can help to raise iron levelsand when in combination with vitamin C, it increases the absorption rate of iron. What Does It Taste Like? Dragon fruit has a sweet, delicate taste that could be characterized as "tropical." It has been described as a cross between kiwi and pear, or kiwi and watermelon. The texture is somewhat creamy with little seeds, similar to that of kiwifruit. Dragon fruit is often enjoyed on its own, either cut up or eaten right out of the skin. (It's the perfect container for a quick snackjust grab a spoon and dig in.) You can return the cubes of fruit into the skin shell to serve, or simply transfer to a serving dish and enjoy. Or use a melon baller to scoop out the dragon fruit's flesh for a pretty presentation. Dragon fruit pairs perfectly with fish dishes, particularly cod, tuna, and mahi-mahi. Serve the fruit on the side or chop finely and place it on top of the fish as a salsa. Dragon fruit works well with almost any tropical fruit, so mix it in with mango, papaya, or pineapple. Dragon fruit's sweet taste also makes for some delicious drinks as well as frozen desserts. To store it longer, place the fruit in a sealed plastic bag and store it in the refrigerator. This fruit can pick up the flavors and odors of other food, so wrapping it well is necessary. Will you try this delicious fruit?
