Heart Health: Two Cardiologists Debate Fat, Sugar, And Coconut Oil

Image
I enjoyed this video, especially since I am an olive oil loving vegan-vegetarian that occasionally consumes an oily piece of fish (maybe a couple of times a year).  Both cardiologists make valid points that oddly make food choices around heart health less confusing to some degree. Mediterranean diet or Dr. Dean Ornish diet?  One thing we know for sure, eat your fruits and veggies, especially your greens, seems to be the common mantra.  Thank you Mind Body Green, Dr. Aseem Malhotra, and Dr. Joel Kahn for the mini lesson on heart health. View the video debate at the link below, and yes, it is worth the twenty-fourish minutes of your time. Image via Mind Body Green.

BEYOND MEAT: 100% Plant-based Protein - COMPLETELY DELICIOUS!

Image
Beyond Meat is a a meat-substitute that is the real deal when it comes to delivering a product similar to beef (I have only tried one product thus far...and I am hooked).  Not only does it look like beef, but BEYOND BEEF has nailed the visual look and mouth-feel texture of beef; it is a plant-based pea protein that is free of soy and gluten, as well as relatively free of whacky food additives. Beyond Meat also has chicken substitutes, beef crumbles (my first product), and Beast Burgers, all of which are non-GMO pea protein (or in some products soy) and 100% plant-based.  I cannot wait to try it in my homemade spaghetti sauce, of course, I will have to write another post suggesting the best gluten-free pasta choices and/or substitutes around.  They also offer a 1.00 off coupon on their website: http://beyondmeat.com/products http://beyondmeat.com/products
