Finally a gluten free bread recipe that rocks!
I have reduced my bread intake dramatically since I have been dealing with autoimmune disease but every now and then... fresh bread is heavenly. Gluten free baking can be a challenge and many of my experiments have turned out either very 'eggy' or 'brick like'. This gluten free country seed bread (http://www.allergyfreealaska.com/2013/02/26/gluten-free-country-seed-bread/) has become one of my favourite recipe. You can interchange soreghum with millet flour and I use 1-2 tablespoons of chia seeds in little water instead of xanthan gum. The bread is also yummy without the seeds. Happy baking!

Love the idea with the sweet potato! This looks definitely more like a meal than a snack ;)

I’m do not believe these nachos could be called a mere snack. I’m not even sure how to label them. Sweet potato chips are piled high with fixings that can satisfy even the heartiest appetite. These nachos are loaded with spicy beef, tomatoes, and guacamole. A recipe that even the guys can enjoy...

Don't overboard with fruit. Go for more vegetables - steamed, roasted, mashed... Use a combination to make it more interesting. Remember! Vegetables should not just be a side dish on your plate. They need to be a major part if your diet. More variety means more variety of nutrients.

Where Will I Get My Carbs From on a Paleo Diet? Well, we know you’re not getting them from grains (whole, half or otherwise!).

Gluten sensitivity is more common than you think. Do you have any of those symptoms? Food sensitivities can affect every system in your body not just your tummy!

Osteoarthritis? - Try broccoli!
Broccoli has the potential to prevent and slow down the progression of the painful, degenerative disease that destroys joints.
Latest research reports promising results with sulforaphane, a compound found in broccoli (and other vegetables of the cabbage family). Sulforaphane blocks destructive enzymes and interferes with the inflammatory processes that are responsible for involved with the cartilage damage.
Scientists claim that eating 100g of broccoli every day will protect joints from the detrimental cartilage destruction.
Eat your greens!!

Osteoporosis: Disease or normal ageing process? Interesting article about the loss of bone mineral density.

The present-day definitions of Osteoporosis and Osteopenia were arbitrarily conceived by the WHO in the early 90's and then projected upon millions of women's bodies seemingly in order to convince them they had a drug-treatable, though symptomless, disease.
