Water is a powerful tool for moving blood through the body. It helps increase our body’s metabolic processes, which in turn supports immune cell trafficking and detoxification.

Another way that water helps us is its role in maintaining balanced glucose (blood sugar) levels. When we are dehydrated, we have a lower overall volume of blood. This causes our glucose to become more concentrated relative to the volume of our blood and results in higher blood sugar levels.

Dehydration is an underlying cause of many common conditions such as blood pressure dysregulation, fatigue, dry skin, constipation, and chronic pain.

Your optimal level of water intake will vary depending on age, gender, size, health status, and physical activity level. A good general rule of thumb is to drink half your weight in ounces of water daily for optimal health (for example, if you weigh 140 pounds, you should aim to drink 70 oz of water daily).

Characterized by low bone mass and structural deterioration of the bone, osteoporosis is called a “silent disease” as there are generally no symptoms in the early stages of bone loss.

Osteoporosis occurs when bone resorption and breakdown (osteoclast activity) exceed bone formation (osteoblast activity). Over time, this results in a reduced bone mass and an increased risk of fractures, usually of the hip, spine, or wrist.

Preserving bone mass is important for both men and women. Are you familiar with the various risk factors for developing osteoporosis?

The human body is designed to remove toxins and metabolic waste through several different routes of elimination. Are you familiar with the various ways that the liver, kidneys, skin, lungs, intestines, and lymphatic system all work to help the body dispose of toxins and waste?

Our body’s detoxification pathways can be supported by:
✔ Prioritizing sleep
✔ Limiting alcohol
✔ Reducing your intake of sugar and processed foods
✔ Staying hydrated

A perfect protein source for any time throughout the day, these oven-baked egg bites have a smooth, velvety texture. Bon Appetit!

This recipe has been adapted from abeautifulmess.com.

BAKED EGG BITES

4 eggs (or 8 egg whites)
1/3 c. cottage cheese
1/4 t. salt
1/4 t. pepper
1/4 c. bacon bits
2 T. chopped green onion
1/4 c. shredded cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place 6 paper liners in a muffin pan. Spray the paper liners with avocado oil cooking spray to prevent the egg bites from sticking to them. Place the muffin pan on a rimmed baking sheet. (If using silicone baking cups, the cooking spray is not needed. Place 6 silicone baking cups on a rimmed baking sheet.)

Combine the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour the mixture into a medium bowl and add the bacon bits and chopped green onion. Stir to blend.

Using a small measuring cup, scoop the batter evenly into prepared muffin cups. (Using a small measuring cup (versus pouring) helps to get bits of onion and bacon more evenly distributed into each muffin cup.) Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly on top of each egg bite.

Fill the bottom of the rimmed baking sheet with 1/4” of water. This will create a steam bath in the oven, which will help the eggs cook evenly and ensure a smooth, velvety texture. Carefully place the baking sheet into the oven and bake until set, for about 30 minutes. Let cool before removing the muffin liners. Store tightly covered in the fridge or freezer.

For reheating, microwave at 30-second intervals or heat in an air fryer for a few minutes. For frozen egg bites, place them in the fridge overnight to thaw before reheating.

Healthy lifestyle habits focused on reducing inflammation and managing stress, along with strategies that optimize nitric oxide production, can help control high blood pressure.

Nitric oxide is a key compound that diffuses into the smooth muscle cells that line arteries and promotes proper vessel relaxation (vasodilation). This, in turn, improves blood flow and blood pressure balance.

𝗘𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗗𝗶𝗲𝘁 - Increase plant foods like beets, garlic, and leafy greens, which help increase nitric oxide production. Limit your intake of refined sugar, starch, and alcohol.

𝗤𝘂𝗶𝘁 𝗦𝗺𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 – Smoking increases blood pressure by increasing DNA damage in the body. Choosing to quit smoking can be a significant step toward improving your health.

𝗔𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗱 𝗔𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗠𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵𝘄𝗮𝘀𝗵 – Antiseptic Mouthwash can wipe out the healthy bacteria within the oral microbiome that are responsible for nitric oxide production.

𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗡𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 – Breathing through your nose, rather than your mouth, increases nitric oxide production. Optimize nose breathing when possible.

𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 – Excess stress can increase blood pressure. Engage in activities such as walking, deep breathing, and hobbies to help reduce your stress levels.

𝗘𝘅𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗲 – Daily movement, from walking to high-intensity interval training, can improve blood vessel tone and pressure by increasing nitric oxide production. Choose exercises that you can commit to daily.

Did you know that an entire ecosystem lives inside of you?

The gut microbiome is a diverse ecosystem composed of more than 100 trillion microscopic organisms, including over 500 different strains of beneficial yeast and bacteria.

These organisms play a crucial role in maintaining healthy digestion, protecting against pathogens, regulating blood sugar levels, assisting in hormone regulation, producing vitamins, and shielding us from toxins and infections.

The GI tract plays a vital role in nearly every system of the body, and many seemingly unrelated symptoms are rooted in the gut. The microbiome can also affect one's risk for obesity or metabolic conditions.

It is essential to maintain a balance of beneficial flora and keep them in plentiful supply to help regulate the digestive system and prevent illness.
