Switch Out The Bad Ingredients

There is so much unnecessary sugar in items such as condiments for example, as well as other not so good for you things. People that struggle with health issues and people who are interested in what types of ingredients are in their favorite condiments are shocked when they actually read the labels! Here is a great quick guide on label reading: (see picture below)
I find that once I started doing it, it became like second nature. I pick up an item in the store and the first thing I do is read the label. The companies have gotten the message of late, that people are not going to buy things that they think are "bad" for them or the ingredients do not coinside with their specific desired dietary needs, so they have been slowly illiminating them. Now those with a lactose intollerance or allergy for example, can find alternatives. This is great for everyone. I have personally been ketogenic for the longest time and I have been able to maintain my weight and my tummy feels well and that's a great bonus. So whatever your personal preference is, just know that I feel food is medicine. You can make switch outs that are good for you. Read the labels and notice the ingredients. Sugar has many names, chemicals and additives have plenty of names as well. It's ok if you don't recognize that your BBQ sauce is filled with sugar now, just make sure next time you grab a bottle look for the no sugar. There are buzz words that companies are using:
You've seen them and they are truly misleading. It is a learning process I am not a nutritionalist and I am not certified to give advice, but I do write articles of interest to people. It does take a little while to learn the way marketing a product is done and most times the company may be very decieving on the front of the label because they would like you to buy their product. Just be careful. ***I am constantly asked about the keto ranch dip here is the url for my original post for the recipe for the keto ranch dip*** https://beautyisabeastthing.blogspot.com/2021/07/homemade-ketolow-carb-ranch-dip.html (highlight & right click to open)
It is super easy to make and ready for your BBQ this summer and no one can tell the difference. This might seem like a very small change, but it will start to add up over time and when you make your own condiments, sauces and dips you realize that it is easy, tastes delicious and is great for your health. Here's to you!
Always visit your doctor if you make any lifestyle change, get his or her advice on your nutritional needs. Feel free to send me an email with your questions. beautyisabeast13@gmail.com

Dimethicone: Chemical Gets A Bad Rap

Image
What is dimethicone? Why does it get such a bad rap?  It is primarily because it is a commonly used product and an additive, and secondarily it is a man-made silicone polymer and it’s always listed alongside things like phthalates and triclosan. It is a chemical. Dimethicone is in a lot of cosmetics and in products given to you by a certified dermatologist and even in items for babies. Chemistry Photo credit: Pinterest Dimethicone is normally only used topically and found in the cream type form. Dimethicone works because it forms a barrier for and against moisture by doing one of two things, trapping it on the skin or trapping it away from the skin. It fills pores and smooths the look of the skin may fill in wrinkles and fine lines on the face, and it also provides an emollient that will sooth skin to fight the effects of sunburn and diaper rash.

Deadliest Record-Breaking Cold Weather Is Dangerous

Photo Credit: Medicentres.com Today's post is in response to the dangerous cold and record-breaking weather that is upon approximately 110 million people! I am currently one of those people in the path of this polar vortex weather, and I am not happy. Midwesterners are tough, rugged and live through a lot of weather extremes, however, what is predicted to come for the next two days is just dangerous. A little less than half of the North American continent has an extreme weather forecast right now and in the next week or so. My area tomorrow is predicted to be in the -50 (negative temps) to possible -60's !. The sub-zero temps are here already, but tonight and tomorrow will be excruciating! A meteorologist at the Weather Prediction Center is passing along information right now telling the American public the exposed skin in that kind of extreme will take only a matter of seconds to frostbite and cause hypothermia. According to the Mayo Clinic   (s...

Magnolias In My Kitchen Very Simple Flower Centerpiece

Image
It's a very cold January day and not one glimpse of the sun is to be had. The ground is covered in snow and now there's even freezing drizzle/rain to add into making this a long winter's day. There's only one thing you can do is to bring warmth in, by way of flowers. I have these two magnolia stems sitting right near me, One has three blooms on it and one has two. They feel bright and remind me of summer. Those warm days where the car windows are down and the Grateful Dead are playing Sugar Magnolia on the radio. And the only thing you can do is wave your arms out to feel the breeze while you're singing the song! A lovely flower centerpiece will liven, brighten and warm my room. So I gathered a  few things: the two magnolia stems Some dried green moss, that I use often, it truly makes me think of spring and summer with its very vibrant green and even brown sticks!  2 very large bell-shaped dimpled glass containers, graduated in size the large ...
