RAW Essentials

Here are some RAW facts about some essential RAW foods and more:

Healthiest oil: Flaxseed oil (flavorless, keep in fridge, eat w/out cooking on salads, on grains, etc.) – has omega 3 fatty acids, is associated with telomeres one standard deviation above normal length, reduces inflammation/eczema, boosts metabolism

xxx Palm Oil xxx: Do not eat this shit, beware it’s in everything. -one of the world’s leading causes of rainforest destruction

Prebiotics: Dandelion greens, avocado, peas and more – prebiotics, as in the food for your microbiome or gut bacteria, approximately 3lb organ in your body that assists in regulating seratonin, preventing diseases, digesting food, other amazing functions

Recommended workout for optimal health: 45 minutes of sustained cardio 3x/week. Add stretches and muscle-building on other days.

xxx Sugar xxx: Sadly, ain’t we all addicted -#1 metabolism slower, big sugar interests are also creepy

 

Personal Favorites

Coffee: Fair trade, drunk black through a *reusable straw to preserve those pearly white – reduces cognitive decline, liver disease, melanoma, and oxidative stress in blood (disclaimer: perhaps biased evidence affirming my addiction)

Dancing: Burns more calories than running and increases social ties

Fasting: Eat only between hours of noon-9pm – higher functioning cognitive abilities, longer life-span, clean digestion

Grapefruit: blocks reuptake receptors that in turn, concentrates medicines in the body

Green tea: Add some coconut oil and enriched almond milk for a delicious matcha latte! – oil lines the stomach to prevent caffeine overload, almond milk has vitamin D for the Vegans

“Healthy” alcoholic drink: Tequila soda w/ lime (not tonic – which has similar stats to soda surprisingly)

Kombucha: a dank prebiotic

Pillz: B12, This Vegan Supplement, Piracetam – increase bloodflow in brain, Psyllium Husk – binds to toxins in bloodstream

Best Apps for Millennials

You don’t have to be a millennial to read this post, I just noticed that I’m at the age where I’m forming many habits and often use apps for guidance! Anyway, here’s my list of  the best FREE apps you can download NOW to be smarter, richer, healthier, happier and more capable of taking on future challenges.

GoodGuide– start forming those conscious consumer decisions now so that they become second nature in the future. I love how this app gives products a score out of 10. See if your favorite food, skin care products, household products and more gets a passing score. Even better… they have #vegan filters!

 

Buycott– more conscious consumerism, yay! This time more political. No, downloading both GoodGuide and Buycott is not redundant.

 

Charity Miles– earn $ for the charity of your choice just by moving! Turn on the distance tracker each day and make 25cents/mile walking or 15cents/mile biking. It’s that easy.


Coinbase– it’s never too early to diversify your assets with some tech investments. Bitcoin shares keep rising, just sayin’. Also have to give my boyfriend a shoutout for getting me in on the bitcoin fun.

 

DailyWorkoutApps– getting moving is SO much harder than staying moving. I’ve used this app for years and don’t plan to stop in 2017; it’s got time settings, easy-to-follow videos, and a daily reminder that goes off when you normally work out.

 

SoundCloud– because everything is better remixed. Use this app with the DailyWorkoutapps for a #killercombo.

 

Secant– this game is fun AND flexes your brain muscles. Not to mention my big bro made it!

 

A meditation app of your choice- use this article^ to find one for your needs. The results are in: meditation has a bunch of positive effects for all that is you (mind, body, self, etc). Start practicing now so that you can be a Yoda when you are old. #YodaNan

Oh, and maybe delete Snapchat; I’ve probably gained weeks on my life.

Ciao for now,

<3 Nan
