Cheeseburger Salad: When your cravings and your greens decide to collaborate.

Yum! So good...
But I realized I forgot pickles🥒

If you're also in your 'low battery mode but still trying' season, you're in good company. Here's what helps...

✴️✴️✴️
Keep bringing it back to the basics: nourishing your body with wholesome foods, staying hydrated, replacing excessive screen time with some outside nature time, moving your body daily... and of course sleeping enough!

4 pro-tips for making it through:

🍲 Warm meals help your body relax and feel grounded. Ex) Chili, lentil soup, curried chickpeas, baked sweet potatoes, oatmeal, ramen bowls with eggs and greens, quesadillas with beans and veggies, etc. So if you needed permission to eat something cozy today, here it is.

🌞 Even 5 minutes of sunlight can help regulate your internal clock and boost your mood. Cloudy days help too-- It's a break from screens and artificial light and gives you a change of scenery. Step outside for a few steps, a breath of fresh air and a reset.

🍵 Hydration can be warm too. If cold water feels like punishment in February, you have other options. Herbal teas like peppermint, ginger or chamomile, green tea, black tea, low-sodium broth, warm lemon water, warm milk or almond milk, and even coffee in moderation count.

💪 Gentle, strengthening movement like hot yoga supports joint mobility, teaches you stability and increases circulation. The combo of heat + slow movement + breathwork activates the parasympathetic nervous system. It's like a mini vacation!

👩‍💻 In the age of endless screen time and digital glare, our eyes are working overtime.

😎 While blue light filters and UV-blocking sunglasses help, there’s another layer of defense that starts from within: lutein.

💛 This vibrant yellow-orange carotenoid, found in leafy greens and egg yolks, is a key nutrient for protecting and preserving vision.

🧡 Lutein is a plant-based pigment and antioxidant that concentrates in the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision. Our bodies can’t produce lutein on their own, so we rely on food to maintain healthy levels.

👁️ Lutein’s benefits go beyond basic nutrition. It plays a protective role in several key ways:

-Filters harmful blue light from screens and sunlight, reducing oxidative stress on the retina

-Neutralizes free radicals, helping prevent cellular damage in eye tissues

-Supports macular health, especially in aging populations at risk for age-related macular degeneration (AMD)

-Improves visual performance, especially in low-light conditions or glare-heavy environments

🥬 You’ll find lutein in many colorful fruits and vegetables, and especially in these foods:

-Dark leafy greens: spinach, kale, collard greens
-Egg yolks: a bioavailable source
-Broccoli, corn and zucchini
-Orange peppers and kiwi
-Pistachios

💚 Including lutein-rich foods in your diet is a simple yet powerful way to nourish your eyes from the inside out. Whether you’re protecting against age-related changes or just trying to ease digital eye strain, adding more of these healthful foods can be a smart move for long-term visual wellness.

Spinach shrinks because it's mostly water-- heating drives that water out, leaving the nutrient dense part behind.

Even when it cooks way down, it's still packed with vitamin K, folate and antioxidants!

A cooked cup delivers more iron and calcium per bite than raw, simply because it's concentrated.

Cooking also boosts absorption of certain nutrients like beta-carotene.

💚 Translation: That tiny pile is secretly a nutrient powerhouse!
