Luxe Beat Magazine It’s that time of year when the sun sinks too early and you’re ready to light a fire, or at least scented candles.

The winter months give us a number of hearty veggies that provide comfort and superb FoodTrient nutrition, not to mention versatility and great taste. Grace O, founder of FoodTrients.com, the health and wellness food website, lists the most FoodTrient-packed fresh winter vegetables […]

Inflammation can wreak havoc on your health. It’s the body’s natural reaction to a stressor, which can be an injury, illness, infection or even a tough workout. Acute inflammation is a good thing, as long as it resolves the effects of stress on the body in the short term. But when it is chronic, occurring at high levels over a period of time due to a lack of sleep, poor diet, repeated infections, or other health conditions, it can lead to digestive problems, reduce the body’s ability to heal and lower immunity, leading to inflammatory diseases such as cancer, diabetes, […]

Women’s health is a complex topic, especially as you age. A crucial area of focus for overall health and preventing chronic diseases is your nutritional status.

One of our FoodTrients® team members, Amy Sawelson Landes, recently spent a week in Mexico City. You wouldn’t necessarily think of Mexico as a place to find foods that add to your health and quality of life, but you’d be wrong! Most of us think of Mexican food as those combo platters oozing with cheese, rice, beans, and fried taco shells. Delicious, yes, but not as a steady diet and certainly not what we aim for at FoodTrients. Mexico City is a huge cosmopolitan metropolis. You can find almost any cuisine there. Mexico City residents seem to be especially fond […]
Blue Zone Ripple Flan with Berries Ripple is a non-dairy, nut-free milk made from pea protein. It’s popular here in California and in the Blue Zone of Loma Linda. It’s available in some markets and on Amazon. With a little creativity, it can be used to make a non-dairy flan. I’ve used dark agave syrup in place of the caramel for a more natural and less processed ingredient. Benefits Ripple non-dairy milk has half the sugar of cow’s milk but more calcium because it is fortified. It also contains protein for muscle and bone health, and omega-3 fatty acids for […]

FoodTrients Says Embrace the Cauliflower Craze for a Healthier You Step aside kale, cauliflower is taking the spotlight as the ultimate health superstar. A member of the nutrition-packed, cruciferous cabbage family along with Brussels sprouts and broccoli, cauliflower is anti-inflammatory and antioxidant-rich, and may boost both heart and brain health. Grace O, founder of FoodTrients, advocates eating cauliflower because it provides impressive amounts of vitamin C, vitamin K, beta-carotene, and much more while supporting healthy digestion and detoxification. Rich in essential vitamins such as C, K, and beta-carotene, cauliflower not only supports heart and brain health but also aids in […]
FoodTrients Shares the Secrets to Healthy Aging From “Blue Zones” Regions Research has shown that cuisine from Blue Zone regions contributes to enhanced well-being and longevity.
