Grilled Watermelon with Lime, Mint & Pistachios

Grilled Watermelon Grilling watermelon lightly caramelizes its natural sugars and gives it a surprisingly rich, smoky flavor while keeping its refreshing juiciness. This colorful summer dish is perfect for Memorial Day gatherings because it’s simple, unexpected, and easy to prepare outdoors alongside the rest of the barbecue menu. Fresh mint, lime, and pistachios add brightness, crunch, and heart-healthy nutrients that beautifully balance grilled foods and richer barbecue dishes. FoodTrients Benefits Watermelon is naturally hydrating and rich in lycopene, a powerful antioxidant linked to heart and skin health. Pistachios provide plant protein, fiber, and healthy fats that support satiety and cardiovascular […]

Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity

In Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity, physician and longevity expert Peter Attia explores the lifestyle choices that may help support long-term health, vitality, and quality of life.

The book takes a thoughtful look at how nutrition, movement, sleep, stress management, and emotional well-being all work together to support healthy aging. While some sections are science-forward, the overall message […]

Apple Barley Salad Delivers Fiber & Detoxing

Apple Barley Salad Barley is a great source of detoxifying fiber, B vitamins, and selenium. I pair it with apples in this bright, crunchy salad. For the corn kernels, I prefer fresh-roasted corn, but you can use thawed frozen corn kernels, too.  The apples can be any variety or color that you like, or even a combination. All apples contain quercetin, a compound that helps support the immune system, thereby “keeping the doctor away.” Raisins provide antioxidants and resveratrol, the same heart-healthy compound found in red wine. My Honey-Lime Dressing increases the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunity-boosting components of this recipe. […]

Carrot Quiche: A Fresh & Nourishing Brunch

A beautiful quiche is one of my favorite dishes to serve when entertaining—perfect for a relaxed Sunday brunch or spring lunch with family and friends. Simple, elegant, and make-ahead friendly, it allows you to enjoy the moment without the rush. This Carrot Quiche is a go-to for me this time of year. The carrots add natural sweetness and vibrant color, while their slight firmness creates a lovely contrast to the silky, custard-like filling. From a FoodTrients perspective, carrots are rich in beta-carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A to support immune health. They also contain carotenoids and lutein, nutrients […]

Top 10 Life-Extending Herbs for Longevity

Herbs have been used in traditional and folk medicines for centuries for treating illness. People throughout the ages also had something on their minds that we still do today…longevity. Some herbs do in fact have research indicating they help with healthy aging for a variety of reasons. Whether an herb is improving sleep, lowering stress, or boosting antioxidant status, they are likely working against biological processes that cause the body to age. DNA damage, free radical damage and dysfunction of the body on a cellular level all may contribute to aging issues including disease of the heart, neurological system, or […]

Ginger: The Healing Root for Everyday Wellness

Like many people from Asia, I’ve always loved ginger. Besides tasting wonderful in soups, stir-fries, rice dishes, beverages, and desserts, it’s like a little medicine chest filled with natural remedies and health benefits. Traditional Indian medicine calls ginger the “universal remedy,” and for good reason. It’s commonly used to relieve nausea, stimulate circulation, relax muscles, ease pain, and reduce inflammation. As a child, my mother would make a comforting Chinese porridge with ginger when I wasn’t feeling well, or she’d boil fresh ginger with honey to create a soothing tea for coughs and sore throats. To this day, I still […]

It’s a Melt-in-Your-Mouth Chocolate Mousse 

Dark Chocolate Mousse It’s hard to imagine, but this vegan version of chocolate mousse offers the same satisfaction as its richer, less healthy sibling. Contributed by my colleague Dr. Lynn Blair, it has all of the same creaminess, the satiny, melt-in-your-mouth pleasure, and the full, no-holds-barred taste you expect from a dense and rich chocolate mousse. And if that’s not enough, just add plenty of great health benefits. Soy contains isoflavones, which help preserve bone density, lower your risk of certain cancers, and may alleviate menopausal symptoms. Dark chocolate has catechins, which are neuroprotective, and theobromine, which improves blood flow […]
