There is a lot of buzz now around staying healthy with the Corona Virus shutting down the world. Naturally trying to eat healthy is on many people’s minds. We have heard a lot about Vitamin C, Zinc and many more supplements. I would say there are many companies attempting to capitalize off people wanting to stay healthy during this time. To be honest with you I don’t take a lot of supplements myself, I try to get what I need from food. When I do feel like I need an extra boost I might take a Whole Food Vitamin like MegaFood, or some Vitamin B12 or D. I’m a huge proponent of juicing, I mainly drink vegetables juices with the occasional apple added here or there. Which brings me to the topic of Chlorophyll, the deep green liquid that comes from plants. We’ve all been told it’s important to have our greens in our diet but what makes chlorophyll so special? Studies show that chlorophyll is nearly identical to hemoglobin our blood. Healthy blood is essential to life and not only is excellent for people with anemia, but it creates more oxygen in our blood. Yes, you heard that right, more oxygen. Right now we are hearing of people with this virus desperately needing more oxygen. Adding chlorophyll is a great idea to supplement with regardless of whether you are concerned about corona or not. It deodorizes the body and is safe to give pets as well. My favorite brand right now is by Herbs Etc. Read the reviews for yourself, people are having amazing results. Stay safe and healthy!

What a Healthy Lifestyle Means To Me
Easy Healthy Stir Fry
I know dinner can sometimes be annoying to think about, especially when we live busy lives. I'm one of those people who end up at Whole Foods at least once per day. If you are a smart shopper you know this isn't the best because we end up spending more time and money rather than if we went once per week and got everything we needed for the week ahead.
The stir fry I have whipped up above can be super simple for you to create at home. You can even buy a pre-cut and washed stir fry veggie bag at just about any market. That removes the step of you having to spend time washing and chopping. Otherwise I recommend simply choosing your favorite veggies and do the chopping/ washing yourself. I used Yellow Fin Tuna in this particular dish and chopped it up to preferable sizes. Moreover, I used quinoa instead of brown rice for base but either are great choices. Make sure to never use white rice as its' been processed making it devoid of extra nutrition and can even spike your blood sugar. For an added "Asian Flavor" I sauteed all the ingredients in toasted sesame oil. Have your quinoa/ brown rice cooking for about 15-20 min before you start cooking the veggies and tuna. I chose to drizzle organic Gluten Free Tamari on the veggies as it is a healthier alternative to Soy Sauce. The veggies should only take 5-10 minutes and the fish should be about 5 min depending on how rare you enjoy your fish. You should be all set to enjoy this clean easy dish alone or with your family! Below is a list of all the ingredients you will need.
Toasted Sesame oil. (Organic if possible)
Brown Rice or Quinoa. (Organic)
Yellow Fin Tuna or Seafood of your choice. (Wild-Caught)
Pre-washed Asian Veggie Bag or pick your own. (Organic)
Tamari Gluten Free. (Organic)
Salt. (Sea Salt or any Non-Iodized)
Pepper. (Organic)
