Hello, dear readers!

Today I will write about that food who have a bad reputation but for no reason. I choose this topic because there is a lot of discussions about wich food shouldn't be eaten more than once a week, but then the next time we check the TV or papers that food which was considered bad for you is suddenly good for you.


1. Peanut butter
They said that peanut butter is fattening. Just one tablespoon of peanut butter (90 calories) a day will be enough. At the end of the day, it all comes down that you balance the calories. Besides peanut butter is full of protein and folate (a B vitamin wich helps develop new cells).

2. Eggs
Is a source of dietary cholesterol. Back in the days, they used to believe that this cholesterol is the cause of high blood cholesterol, but now scientist found out that saturated fats and trans fats are the main cause for causing higher blood cholesterol.

3. Coffee
Coffee may reduce the risk of dementia, diabetes, and liver cancer. That you will get most benefits of coffee you should drink at least 3 cups a day. But if coffee makes you jittery you should only have one. Women who are pregnant should also cut back the intake of caffeine.

4. Nuts
Nuts have fats but they are the good, heart-healthy kinds. Pistachios are rich in lutein, an antioxidant wich helps to keep our eyes healthy; almond is rich in vitamin E and walnuts are rich in omega-3 fats which are healthy for our heart. Just be careful of the intake you have of these nuts (because of the calories).

5. Chocolate
Drak chocolate is the best for us. It contains flavanols, antioxidant that which is good for our cardiovascular health. It can also reduce stress hormones including cortisol. Just be sure that you count your calories if you don't want to gain weight.


We came to an end of this topic. I think that all food should be eaten in moderation because that way will be more healthy than if we denied food that is considered unhealthy. What did you think about this article? Comment, like and subscribe :)

Who doesn't love these adorable fluffy creatures? Cats make our lives more interesting and funnier. They may show you appreciation and love but only when they feel like it. Cats have been treated in Ancient Egypt like kings and they still didn't forget it. Like true royals they can be sometimes moody and demanding :P

Here are 5 facts that you probably didn't know about cats :)

I was making a dessert named Energy balls with coconut flour and the only ingredient missing was almond butter. I decided I'm going to use coconut oil instead of almond butter. They were good, but they were too oily. So, I decided that I'm going to make a homemade raw almond butter, which is almost the same as the peanut butter. You can do it yourself and it is healthier than the one you buy in a store. It is easy to make and it takes only 10 minutes.

Ingredients:

• 300g peeled soaked almonds
• ½  spoon of honey
• 1 spoon of salt

Preparation:

1. Preheat the oven to 190°C. Take the baking tray and arrange almonds on the tray. Put them into the oven.

2. Bake for 10 minutes. During the baking mix them. Take them out and let them cool.

3. Put the almonds in the blender and mix them until you get a smooth mixture.

4. Add a ½  spoon of honey and 1 spoon of salt. Mix it again.

5. Put butter in a jar and store it in the refrigerator.



This tasty butter has a lot of vitamin E and it is the source of dietary fiber, is an antioxidant, and it contains magnesium and zinc (which are important for health, beauty, vitality, life energy and preventing the aging process). So many positive health benefits in one jar! You can use it in desserts, as a breakfast meal with vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free bread and you can also use it in smoothies. I hope you liked the article and that you will enjoy in the preparation of almond butter.

 Have a beautiful day!
