Dive into the World of Basil Seeds! Beyond their unique texture, basil seeds offer a surprising array of health benefits. They are a great source of soluble fiber, which aids digestion, helps regulate blood sugar levels, and can contribute to feelings of fullness. They're also packed with antioxidants that fight free radicals in the body. Additionally, basil seeds contain essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, and iron.

Incorporating basil seeds into your diet is easy! Simply soak them in liquid for about 15-20 minutes. They'll absorb the water and develop a gel-like coating. You can then add them to:

Water or juice for a refreshing and hydrating drink.
Smoothies for added texture and nutrients.
Yogurt or oatmeal for a boost of fiber.
Homemade desserts like puddings or kheer.
Salad dressings for a unique thickening agent.

Join us for the Mediterranean Diet 30 Day Reset. Week 2 starts Monday. Info@adviceforeating.com

The Mediterranean Diet isn’t a trend, it’s one of the most researched, sustainable, and delicious eating patterns in the world. Based on the foods and traditions of the countries surrounding the Mediterranean Sea, this lifestyle emphasizes vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts, seafood, and heart-healthy fats.

And while it may sound overwhelming at first, eating the Mediterranean way is actually simple: build meals around plants, embrace color and flavor, and focus on variety rather than restriction.

Vegetables and fruits deliver fiber and antioxidants that support longevity and reduce inflammation. Whole grains provide lasting energy. Legumes offer plant-based protein that keeps you full. Nuts and olive oil bring healthy fats that protect your heart. Fish and seafood add omega-3s that support brain health. Dairy in moderation can round out your calcium needs. And hydration helps everything function better.

If you’re looking to improve your energy, digestion, heart health, or overall wellbeing, adopting even a few Mediterranean-inspired habits can make a meaningful difference.

Start small. Add color to your plate. Lean on whole, flavorful foods. Enjoy what you eat.

Your long-term health will thank you.

If you’ve never tried a Sumo orange (also called Sumo Citrus), you’re in for a treat. These giant, bumpy, top-knotted oranges might look a little funny… but they’re one of the sweetest, juiciest, easiest-to-peel fruits in the produce aisle, and they come with some pretty impressive nutrition benefits, too.
Sumo Citrus is bred from mandarins, pomelos, and navel oranges, giving it that perfect mix of sweetness, seedlessness, and that unbelievable “melt-in-your-mouth” texture. And unlike many ultra-sweet fruits, Sumos still pack the nutritional punch you want from citrus.

Here’s why you should pick s(u)me up:
🍊Sumos are rich in vitamin C, folate, potassium, and antioxidants that help support your immune system, reduce inflammation, and keep your skin healthy and glowing.

🍊Each fruit contains about 3 grams of fiber, great for digestion, blood sugar balance, and helping curb cravings between meals.

🍊Despite their sweetness, the fiber + water content helps slow absorption. Pair one with a handful of nuts and you’ve got the ultimate balanced snack.

🍊No seeds. No sticky mess. No knife required. Just peel, enjoy, and feel like you’re eating candy from nature.

🍊High-volume, low-calorie foods like this help you feel fuller, longer, without feeling restricted.

The only downside? They’re seasonal, and when they’re gone, they’re gone until next winter. So if you see them in stores, grab a few (or a bag!) while you can.

I never imagined feeling this good at 70!

Things that surprised me in 2025:

1. Biking: Indoor bike training through the winter improved my ski experience: an hour on the bike a few mornings a week made skiing better!

2. Pushing thresholds on the bike and in the gym was great for mood.

3. Time allocation: While I spent more time maintaining fitness this year, it didn't wear me out as I expected. Allocating more time created more energy.

4. Diet: changing and ever more important. Since this time last year, I am 5 pounds lighter and have added 3 pounds of muscle. My doctor said, "I can't wait to give you these results. Nobody I see turning 70 adds pounds of muscle!"

5. Motivation: ebbs and flows. What’s going on in your head? I need to add back a meditation practice, get sleep reorganized

Congrats Tom! We all want to be like you when we grow up!

Cortisol gets called the “stress hormone,” but it affects so much more. It influences your energy, cravings, sleep, digestion, metabolism, even how your body stores fat. When cortisol is balanced, your body runs smoothly. When it’s not, you might notice things like stronger cravings, trouble sleeping, mid-day energy crashes, bloating, irritability, or feeling tired.

Cortisol naturally rises in the morning and falls throughout the day, but lack of sleep, skipped meals, too much caffeine, chronic stress, or overtraining can throw that rhythm off. The good news? Cortisol responds quickly to small daily habits. Eating regular balanced meals, getting enough sleep, morning light, gentle movement, and taking even a few minutes to slow your breathing can help bring levels back into balance.

Cortisol isn’t the enemy, it’s essential. The goal isn’t to lower it to zero, but to support your body’s natural rhythm so you feel more energized, more balanced, and more in control of your day.
If you’ve been feeling “off” lately, your cortisol might be trying to tell you something and simple changes can make a big difference. Read our article on cortisol and find out more at www.adviceforeating.com/blog
