The Confusion About Potatoes
There is some confusion about whether or not potatoes are really paleo-friendly and that’s because they are starchy vegetables and they can be highly processed. But the truth is that potatoes have been consumed since ancient times because of their nutritional value and ability to boost energy levels.

8 Ways to Get Calcium Without Consuming Dairy
About 99 percent of calcium is stored in the bones and teeth, supporting their structure and teeth—no wonder it’s the most abundant mineral in the body.
Reserved calcium in the bones is released into the body as needed. It’s also found in the blood, muscles and other tissue, but the concentration of calcium in the body begins to decline with age because it’s released from the body through sweat, skin cells and waste.
Your bones actually undergo constant remodeling, with the resorption and disposition of calcium into new bone. In aging adults, bone breakdown exceeds formation, causing bone loss that increases the risk of ...

Newsflash: low-fat diets are not all that they’re cracked up to be.
For years Americans have been told to avoid fat, especially saturated fat, in order to lose weight and achieve optimal health. As the low-fat craze of the 1990’s influenced dietary intake, Americans health continued to decline with increasing rates of heart disease, stroke, diabetes and obesity.

The Paleo Diet and your Thyroid
Here’s an alarming fact: Thyroid disorder is an increasingly common chronic health condition, especially among young women.
The thyroid can either become over or underactive, both of which can pose health problems. Medical therapies—such as oral hormonal therapy—is used to increase or decrease the activity of the gland, to attempt and keep the hormone levels in an optimal level. While there are no current dietary therapies that can remedy thyroid hormone imbalance, the paleo diet has been touted by many to aid in decreasing the inflammation that is thought to contribute to thyroid dysfunction.

Health Benefits of Whey Protein
Adding a protein powder to your diet is good, but the options of protein is so overwhelming that it can be quite complex to choose which one is the right choice for your diet. Whey protein is a commonly used protein powder supplement. But what exactly is whey?

Whey protein is a relatively inexpensive and complete form of protein that can be added to smoothies and recipes to increase your protein intake.
There are three types of whey protein that ...
