Chicken Salad Lettuce Wraps

Image
Looking for an easy, light lunch to make during the week! Look no further! These Chicken Salad Lettuce Wraps are my favorite quick & healthy lunch!

Growing up (and even still today) I lived on Chicken Salad! It was my very favorite flavor of sandwich! I always took them in my sack lunch to school. I was raised on canned chicken, so I've never looked at it as weird. I know some people are timid when it comes to canned chicken but you shouldn't be!  It's a great, easy source of protein! I have to dedicate this recipe to my little cousin Oakley. She is 7 and she has so much personality. She catches on very quick and is very aware of the world around her. One day, I asked her what she wanted for lunch. She told me that she doesn't eat Carbs. I had to laugh because I'm sure she's heard ...

The Role of Acid-Base Balance in Health. Podcast with Dr. Lynda Frassetto

It has been suggested that a major contributor to chronic disease in modern industrialized populations is a mismatch between our contemporary dietary patterns and our fundamental nutritional needs, which were shaped over the slow course of human evolution. This, of course, is the primary argument behind the Paleo diet. So what exactly do we mean by mismatch , and how does this manifest itself? Think about a doughnut, and more specifically how it is created. It requires refining a bunch of whole foods into purified ingredients, which are then reconstituted into a hyper-palatable, energy-dense product with a fantastic shelf life. Needless to say, for most of our history as a species, such foods simply did not exist. Okay, that is a pretty blatant example of evolutionary mismatch. But other dietary aspects of mismatch are much more subtle – and probably don’t come to mind when you think about a Paleo diet. Yet they may matter just as much with respect to health and anti-aging.
