A nice piece of Wild caught Alaskan Cod

 

Saturday Freebe

 Ok ok I know I don't have to post (my goal is once a week) but hey I'm excited and am getting into this. So every morning I bake my handful of kale on a non stick bake sheet at 270 degrees for 20 minutes. A healthy sprinkle of Himalayan sea salt on the kale helps hold moisture and flavor in. I put a previously baked sweet potato / yam on the sheet too (to warm it up) Lately I have been eating the sweet potato or yam for my after workout nosh. Today I dipped it into the kale/seasalt chips making it a  coated salty treat. The crispy salty kale makes a great topping for my roasted veges, sweet potato/ yams or even on my tacos. I'll be posting the roasted veges and tacos as I make them. I know this lifestyle is a bit different but I'm mitigating inflammation and maximizing vitamin intake naturally with food.

 So I seem to be on time this week being Friday. I started the Dr. Gundry food program in December. Not trying to lose weight but to reduce hip  inflammation. I have lost 13 lbs now. Dr Gundry said you would by changing up foods that aid your gut and avoiding those that tend to be sugar related. Removing inflammation related toxins from the blood. With consistent acupuncture, massage, twice daily Shakti Acupressure mat sessions, weekly chair yoga, bike riding and adding shoe inserts to adjust my leg lengths I have reduced the hip pain 60%. Mornings consist of Chi Qigong, Stretching,  Meditation and Tibetan Rites Yoga.

Look for the links posted along the with the blog entrees.

I will be posting recipes and entrees, sides and desserts pictures. I utilize these ingredients to adhere to the Dr. Gundry suggestion eliminating lectins. Bringing about good gut bugs and reducing inflammation.
