What Are Omega-3 & Omega-6 Fats?
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past 10 years or so, you’ve heard many times about the importance of Omega-3 fatty acids for health. You’ve heard it hundreds of times that you must eat fish (and/or ingest fish oil) in order to get your omega 3s.
Before I address that issue, I believe some explanation is in order to make sure you understand what is what. It’s going to be a bit technical, but it will help you understand what you need to do to stay healthy.

Fish Is a Healthy Food: Fact or Fiction?
We hear it all the time, from doctors, dieticians, fitness trainers, and our mothers: we must eat fish to thrive and be healthy. For their fats (omega 3s), vitamin D, and protein. Even people who consider themselves vegetarians, often admit that they eat fish.
There is so much misinformation surrounding the eating of fish and seafood that we fail to see that we have been talked into consuming a food that is really not so good for us (or for the environment; and especially for the fish and other sea life, for that matter).
One reason is high toxicity. Fish absorb and intensely concentrate toxins like PCBs, dioxins, radioactive substances, heavy metals like mercury, lead, cadmium, and arsenic.
Perfect Smoothie For Spring: The Sunshine Booster Smoothie
We all crave sunshine at this time of the year. This recipe provides lots of sunshine in a glass. This spicy-sweet smoothie recipe is layered with dynamic flavors, a blend of tastes bordering between a Pina Colada and a turmeric-ginger juice. Ginger adds a delightful tanginess to this smoothie. Quite surprisingly (for me), ginger has become one of my favorite ingredients in smoothies lately. (If you asked me last year, I never used ginger in any of my recipes, and I would even tell you that I didn’t care for it.) It really makes this smoothie different from anything you ever tried and provides a super-dose of anti-inflammatory properties and a circulation-boosting buzz just when you need it. Coconut water adds electrolytes for an extra punch of hydration and a hint of sweetness.

But is there really a special diet to relieve menopause symptoms?
Well, yes and no.
Carrot Cake: Dessert Squares Recipe (Dairy Free, Vegan)
If you are looking for a healthy carrot cake recipe, look no more. I found this recipe in the Tofu 1-2-3 cookbook by Meribeth Abrams and I decided to give it a try. It turned out very tasty, although a bit too sweet and moist for my taste. Next time I will use less sugar/ syrup. I’m also going to experiment with less oil. Who would have thought that a dessert may contain so much of a healthy stuff and still be delicious!
