drinks_0.jpg As a registered dietitian and nutrition editor at EatingWell Magazine, I’m someone who always tries to avoid bad foods, and instead, eat foods that are good for me. Until recently though, I didn’t extend this scrutiny to what I consume after I exercise. After going for a long run, you’d come home, feeling revitalized and spent.

Beans and legumes are among the healthiest foods you can eat, as they have protein, iron and fiber to keep you full and regular (they’re called the magical fruit for a reason!). Lima beans are a type of legume, like chickpeas and lentils, and they pack some pretty impressive health benefits. Ilyse Schapiro, M.S., RD, CDN, says, “Lima beans are great for diabetes control, as they are low [on the] glycemic index and rich in fiber, which helps to control blood sugar....
high fat diet high fat diet high fat diet high fat diet The high-fat, very low-carb ketogenic diet first emerged in the 1920s as an epilepsy treatment and gained popularity as a weight-loss plan about 100 years later.

A selection of 4 kosher wines Credit: Courtesy of Merchants With Passover approaching, kosher wines are top of mind for Seders, as well as everyday drinking.
