Vegan Protein Powder Benefits

Increasing your protein intake with vegan protein powders is much better for you than drinking whey protein. In fact, there are many benefits from drinking vegan protein powders. They not only provide all of the amino acids you need but are also loaded with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and all of the things you need to stay healthy. When transitioning to a vegan diet, I recommend increasing protein intake slightly, especially if you’re in an active weight loss phase.

Bromelain Benefits for Skin Care

When you eat pineapples you’re also consuming a powerful enzyme known as bromelain. It’s assumed that this enzyme would not survive intact through the gut, but it does, and it’s absorbed by the body where it can do its magic in speeding up healing and improving your skin. Pineapples are available all throughout the year, but I normally enjoy them in the summertime. I will either mix pineapple with other fruit or better throw some in a smoothie. If you ever use pineapple in a smoothie, let the smoothie sit in the freezer after you bit! It’s tastes much better. …

3 Best Tocotrienol Supplements (60x more potent than alpha-tocopherol)

Vitamin E has powerful free radical scavenging abilities and acts as a powerful antioxidant when consumed and applied directly to the skin. Tocotrienols are one part of the vitamin E family but represent a small fraction of the vitamin E found in commonly consumed foods. The best way to get a high level of tocotrienols in the diet is to take tocotrienol supplements. Typically, you would get a small number of different tocotrienols from sources such as vegetable oils, nuts, grains, wheat germ, and barley. In these foods, there are four types of tocotrienols, just like their tocopherol counterparts. Research …

Vegan Alternative to Fish oil (Foods and Supplements)

When fish oils are off the menu, we have to replace those important omega-3 fatty acids in our diet somehow. They have numerous health benefits from preventing heart disease to improving cognitive health. Finding an alternative to fish oil can be easy if you know the right foods and supplements to take. You see, when you eat fish, you are getting EPA and DHA straight up, there is no conversion process that needs to happen in the body. That can’t be said for plant-based sources of omega 3, which have to be consumed and then undergo a conversion process. However, …

How To Moisturize Your Skin From The Inside Out

I’m a fan of skin products, but I know from experience that good skin health starts from the inside first. The foods we put into our mouth can really have a drastic impact on the way we look and how soft and moisturized the skin feels. Having dry skin can cause all sorts of problems like redness, itching, flaking and even accelerate the rate at which the skin ages. Rather than simply slathering on the moisturizer multiple times every day, how about helping your body produce more natural oils and increasing skin lipids to keep the skin well hydrated and …

Vegan Breakfast for Healthy Skin and Hair

Starting off the morning with a good breakfast can really impact how you feel and look for the rest of the day. If you want glowing skin and beautiful thick hair, then opt for a breakfast which is loaded with vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats. Most people who start their day do so in a rush. It can be a coffee, a few biscuits, or a cereal with heaps of sugar. And sure they have some nutritional value, but they’re not the best choices. And many people end up with a crash in the early afternoon. Over the years I’ve experimented with …

Best Vegan Calcium Supplement

Calcium is essential not just in childhood to develop strong bones and teeth but also is protective against conditions like osteoporosis as we age.

How Many Cups of Chamomile Tea for Anxiety?

Anxiety is a very common condition that affects people of all ages at one point or another. What if you could take the edge of that anxiety with a cup of chamomile tea? Research suggests that compounds in chamomile may have potent anti-anxiety effects. In the United States, anxiety conditions affect just under 20% of the population every year, but only a small number of those people receive proper treatment for it. Perhaps people want to avoid speaking about it or just don’t want to be put on medications. Within reason, I think a natural approach such as mental exercises …
