crab_630.jpg The seafood we eat has an enormous impact on our health today and the health of our oceans tomorrow. The weekend after Thanksgiving, I steer my boat, First Light, out of the harbor knowing this will be my last fishing trip of the year. It’s become a tradition.

Your liver is responsible for clearing out all manner of substances, such as alcohol, pesticides and medications. It suffers when you over-imbibe, but it can also face other stressors, namely obesity, type 2 diabetes and high cholesterol. (In fact, as many as 40% of U.S. adults have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, NAFLD, which is when the liver accumulates fat for reasons other than chronic drinking.) This organ does a lot for you....

At this very moment, your body is playing host to trillions of bacteria. You are, in fact, just as much microbe as you are human—carrying around roughly the same number of bacterial cells as human ones, with nearly all of the bacteria living in your gastrointestinal (GI) tract.

It’s been about two weeks since President Trump announced new CDC recommendations that Americans should wear cloth face coverings in public to attempt to slow the spread of the coronavirus (as a reminder, save the medical masks for healthcare workers and first responders).

It’s one gorgeous veggie and comes in many hues, making it endlessly Instagrammable. (The only way it could soar higher is if it could be spiralized!)
