Who benefits from acupuncture?
Where to go?There are many acupuncture studio locations -- local and nation-wide. Modern Acupuncture has locations in Arizona, California, Colorado, Tennessee, Florida, and many other states. While in North Texas though, visit the three spots in Las Colinas, Addison, or Plano. However, there's also Hiatus Spa + Retreat in Plano and Yin's Acupuncture & Herbs Clinic in Frisco! All have phenomenal reviews and success rates! While acupuncture still mostly flies under the radar for Western medicine, its rewards can't be ignored. Most studios offer a discounted first session, or even take HSA/FSA payment.

How many of us have every kind of herb in our spice drawer – or rack – not really knowing what they are and how to use them? Surely they have health benefits... All we know is what the recipe has us add to our dishes. But wouldn't it be nice to know how seven common herbs benefit us and enrich our food? Health Like Me is here to help you understand the secrets about everyday herbs. Keep reading to demystify the secrets and learn about these herbs! Basil
Basil also has a pretty interesting historical/lore background. Apparently, some cultures believe basil can bring luck or wealth, while others believe the herb can bring protection and ward off evil. In Italy, basil used to be associated with female courting. Girls would wear it it to signal their availability. Health wise, basil boosts immune systems, soothes inflammation, relieves stress, strengthens bones, and stimulates blood flow. And because basil is an alkaline plant, it balances pH levels caused by an acid-heavy diet. It is high in vitamin K, C, and A, magnesium, and is rich in antioxidants. CilantroNext up is cilantro. This herb has a love/hate relationship with some people. Also known as coriander in some parts of the world, cilantro has a somewhat citrusy flavor for those that favor it. As for those that don't like this herb, it might have a soapy taste. But according to research, that all has to do with genetics! Many dishes benefit greatly from this fragrant herb by using it as garnish. Guacamole, salsa, soups, roasted veggies, and rice are just a few examples. Both the stem and leaves are edible, however the leaves are more popular due to them containing more of the herb's flavor. But how do our bodies benefit from cilantro? Well, it has a nifty way of preventing UTIs, ridding the body of heavy metals, improving sleep, and lowering blood sugar levels – among many more! Marjoram

Egg-static!As we all know, eggs radiate crazy health goodness. From protein to vitamin B12, eggs are notorious for being a superfood! However, eating them scrambled day in and day out can be a drag. If egg whites are the go to instead of the whole egg, you then loose even more of the tastiness, a.k.a. cholesterol. To make scrambled eggs creamy, add milk to the mixture! For every egg white, add half a tablespoon. Once in the skillet, instead of scrambling right away, let it sit for about a minute and a half. Then with a silicone spatula -- or something similar -- slowly turn over again and again while it cooks. Don't scramble until its well cooked. Next, add any choice cheese while the egg cooks for its last couple of minutes so it gets melty and gooey! Once transferred to its eating dish, add a choice seasoning or garnish. Anything from parsley, Cajun spice, green onion, or red pepper flakes -- have fun with trying various options! Raving for Ramen!

If you thought all fats were bad, think again. We've all seen the term omega-3 fatty acids on the back of tuna labels or when shopping for vitamins. that means they have some nutritional value, right? But how much stock should we actually put into these fatty acids? According to science and health professionals, a whole lot. The Good FatsOmega-3s are powerful essential fats and nutrients that keep our body functioning properly, And because we cannot produce these fats naturally, we depend on food and/or supplements to gain the benefits of the fatty acids. There are three types of omega-3s: EPA, DHA, and ALA. EPA and DHA are found in seafood and ALA is found in plants. In the simplest of terms, these good fatty acids are a form of polyunsaturated fat. These types of fats have more than one "open slot". Meaning carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen atoms can latch on to available slots, and therefore giving our cells everything they need to do their job! If you want a quick refresher on the saturated vs. unsaturated fat, check out this previous post Health Like Me did a while back! Benefits
Foods That are Natural in Omega-3 Fatty Acids
If any of these foods aren't your cup of tea, you can opt for taking supplements! When searching for a good omega-3 supplement, look to make sure it has DHA and EPA as main ingredients. As for dosage level, the FDA recommends taking up to 5,000 mg daily. And if swallowing capsules/pills triggers a gag reflex, try cod liver oil. Cod liver oil is a popular liquid option to obtain the necessary omega-3 nutrients. Overall, we can't beat the benefits that omega-3 fatty acids brings to our bodies. So why not get started on introducing these good fats into our diets. It's an investment our health will gladly thank us for!
