The most cutting-edge research suggests that Alzheimer's may stem from an inability of the brain to process glucose, leading to cell death. But the brain has another source of fuel: ketones, produced by the body from mid-chain triglycerides like those found in coconut oil.

Did you know that avocados are a fruit and more specifically a “berry,” with a single seed? Or that the Aztecs referred to avocados as the "Kings Butter”? These are interesting reasons to like avocados. Below are five great, healthy reasons to eat them.

Talk about yum yum in my tum tum.  I had this recipe for at least 2 years, and being the reluctant chef that I am, I have finally used it for the first time a couple of days ago! It was delish and I am proud to share an actual recipe that I have used to create a good, healthy meal.
