Avocado- Great for Hormonal Balance!
Avocados are my favorite food. I can’t live without them! It didn’t use to be this way, though. Growing up in Poland during communism, there was hardly anything in the grocery store.

High protein food such as eggs will keep you fuller longer compared to carbohydrate-heavy food like bread or pastries. Furthermore, consider this: every meal in a day is an opportunity to introduce essential nutrients to the body, and if you are able to get your vitamin and mineral requirements sorted out at the beginning of the day, why not? If you have a sweet tooth, you might […]
