A probiotic is a live microorganism like bacteria or yeast, that provides numerous health benefits if eaten regularly.

Here is what these nifty creatures do:

They restore the balance of good bacteria in the digestive tract
They boost immunity
They decrease inflammation
They improve digestion and bowel health

You can take them as a supplement but did you know these foods will also provide your body with these important “super bugs”?

Electrolytes are minerals with an electrical charge that are important for many functions including nerve conduction, muscle activity, and balancing fluid levels. Our kidneys do the heavy lifting of balancing these minerals, but here are a few tips on how to help out from a dietary point of view.

Most importantly, avoid excessive supplementation because mineral balance is very delicate. Focus on healthy food and hydration choices.

Include fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, low fat dairy and lean proteins at each meal. These foods provide potassium, magnesium, calcium, and phosphorus - everything you need to keep balanced.
Watch your salt intake. Sodium is an electrolyte but too much can cause an imbalance. Most of our dietary sodium comes from packaged and processed foods.

Stay hydrated: drink plenty of water during the day. For every pound you lose from sweat (after working out or dancing) replace 2 cups of water.

During intense exercise or after illness with vomiting or diarrhea, you may lose more electrolytes than usual. Consult your doctor as they may recommend an electrolyte replacement drink. These are used sparingly as again, mineral balance is delicate.

Having a nutrient rich smoothie is a great way to provide your body and brain with essential nutrients, providing that it contains adequate amounts of protein, carbohydrates and healthful fats!

Here are 4 tips:

Our bodies cannot absorb more than 30 grams of protein at any one time, so keep your protein powder to around 21-18 grams of protein. You can choose from soy protein, egg white protein, whey, or pea protein based on your dietary needs.

Add soluble fiber for a digestive boost and an energy boost from fruits, veggies, oats, flax meal. This fiber will keep your energy even without creating spikes and drops in blood sugar.

Get some healthful fats in from peanut butter or any nut butter, flax meal, avocado, or yogurt.

Avoid added sugars and the above balance should be an easy way to nourish your body on the go!

Eating salmon a few times a week can help support an active lifestyle, healthy weight, and healthy heart.

What makes it worth adding it to your plate?

The omega-3 fats in salmon may help decrease blood pressure, lower triglycerides and reduce “bad” cholesterol.

Those omega-3 fats decrease inflammation and may help with cognitive function and depression.

Salmon is a nutrient packed source of protein and is a great choice for building muscle.

There is reason to believe that salmon has protective qualities that reduce cancer risk.

One serving of salmon provides tons of vitamin D, which helps get calcium into your bones thereby preventing bone loss.

Enjoy baked, grilled, broiled or right out of the can!

Just a few simple things to remember:

Load up on colorful fruits and veggies every day. Fill half your plate with these nutritional stars at each meal.

Choose whole grains like brown rice, quinoa, millet, couscous and whole grain breads and cereals. Fill at least a quarter of your plate with these high fiber delicious options.

Choose lean proteins like fish, beans, white meat poultry, low fat dairy, tofu and nuts. Fill the last quarter of your plate with these items to keep you full and satisfied and balance out your blood sugar.

Cook with olive oil, sesame oil or canola oil instead of butter.

Reduce sugar as best you can.

Be mindful of portions.

Drink lots of water.

That’s it! Make your food taste good and choose the foods you love. You do you, not someone else’s choices! All foods can fit!!

Do you ever feel panic set in around 3 or 4pm in the afternoon when you’re thinking: what can I make for dinner????? In order to keep decision fatigue at a bare minimum here are some ideas that may help:

Create a weekly meal plan. This is invaluable. Consider themed nights like Taco Tuesday or Pasta Monday.
Write a detailed grocery list for the above and don’t be afraid to use a grocery delivery service when needed to help keep things fresh.
Batch cook basics like rice or quinoa, roast many trays of veggies, or cook shredded chicken or ground beef to use in multiple meals. All of this freezes very well.
Use your kitchen tools like your rice cooker, slow cooker, air fryer, etc. to automate cooking tasks.
Create a salad night buffet: put out all the remaining cooked food from the week and let your family assemble their own salads. Add some crispy sourdough bread and you are done!
High quality store bought items like pre-cut fruits and veggies, rotisserie chicken, or frozen steamable veggies or grains will all help to save time in the kitchen.
Use your freezer: freeze extra batches of soup, meatballs or shredded meat in portion sized containers. Pull these out in the morning before you leave for work and leave in the refrigerator. They will be ready for a quick spaghetti and meatball dinner for example when you get home.

Let me say first off that “clean eating” is not a restrictive and rigid diet that can lead to an unhealthy mindset around food. It is simply an approach to nutrition that emphasizes eating wholesome unprocessed foods that are as close to their natural state as possible. Here are some things to consider to make sure your choices keep you balanced and flexible:

Include fresh fruits and veggies when possible, whole grains and lean proteins like lean red meat, poultry, fish, legumes, soy, nuts, eggs and low fat dairy foods.
Minimize processed foods: are the ingredients things you recognize? The shorter the ingredient list the better.
Limit added sugar: natural occurring sugars from grains, fruits and veggies are your number one fuel source. Keep your added sugars to 10 grams or much less per serving.
Choose fats that benefit your health: avocados, fish oils, nuts, seeds, olive oil.
Watch your sodium: under 200 mg per serving is considered fairly low sodium. Salt can elevate blood pressure and is not healthy for bones and teeth!
Cook at home more often if possible. This helps you minimize excess salt, sugar and unhealthy fats that are often found in restaurant and take out food.

Do the best you can most of the time without feeling the need to have the “perfect” diet. No one has a perfect diet. Even registered dietitians!

Intentional eating is a mindful practice of making thoughtful food choices that align with your personal health goals and overall well being instead of eating passively or reacting to cravings. What intention eating is NOT is a rigid diet that involves strict rules, calorie counting or avoiding “good” and “bad” foods. Intentional eating honors your needs and supports your health.

Here are some ways to practice intention eating:

Before eating, ask yourself what you really want to eat or “how does this food make me feel”?
Tune into your physical hunger and fullness cues, distinguishing them from emotional hunger.
Slow down and appreciate: think about the origins of your food, the effort it took to prepare it and appreciate the nourishment it provides. Don’t get distracted while eating and scrolling through your phone or watching tv. You will be surprised at how much more you enjoy your meal by focusing on the tastes and textures and aromas.
Plan your intake: create a FLEXIBLE food plan that supports your lifestyle, ensuring your meals are balanced and satisfying.

Most people either don’t get enough protein or we tend to overdo it. Either way following these suggestions may help. Remember that proteins are used for various functions like making hormones, rebuilding muscle, or boosting immunity. It is important to keep your protein intake consistent through the day - meaning have a little bit at each meal and/or snack. Everyone’s needs are different so it is always good to consult with a registered dietitian who can help you determine what is right for you!

How To Eat More Protein:

Include high protein foods at each meal (4 ounces on average or about 30 grams): fish, seafood, chicken, turkey, eggs, edamame, lentils, nut butters, dairy foods like milk, yogurt and low fat cheeses
Make your snacks high protein: hard boiled egg, low fat string cheese, nuts or nut butters
Tuna
Low sodium turkey or salmon jerky
Opt for leaner proteins such as white meat chicken or turkey, fish, egg whites, beans, soy, low fat dairy
Remember that you do get proteins from your grains and veggies, just pair them with the above suggestions throughout your day to get the full benefit.

For those of you putting in long days like dancers and other athletes (as well as hard working moms and dads!) scheduling a healthy snack between meals can help you maintain energy and focus if it is more than 4 hours between regular eating times.

String cheese and fresh fruit
Greek yogurt and berries
Whole grain crackers, peanut butter and glass of milk
Hard boiled eggs and baby carrots
Popcorn!
