Main components

Seaweed: an excellent source of iodine (aka helps your thyroid which regulates your metabolism & helps your body temperature control). The carbs act as prebiotics (aids your gut health!). Polyphenols, a compound found in seaweed, can help lower BP, and bad (LDL) cholesterol. 

Avocados are a great source of unsaturated fat (the good kind of fat).

  • Can reduce “bad” LDL cholesterol while boosting “good” HDL cholesterol.
  • Contains lutein and zeaxanthin, which are great for eye health.
  • Potassium: helps regulate blood pressure.

  • Magnesium: Supports nerve and muscle function.

  • Folate: Important for DNA synthesis and cell repair.

White Rice: Quick source of carbs, and is usually enriched with vitamins for nutritional value. Brown rice is a great alternative for a nutritionally sound meal!

Hey!

I’m Madeline! One icky piece of chicken a few years ago quickly led me to plant-based eating. But I’ll admit, those irksome comments from a friend or family around the holidays, gets you thinking. You know, maybe we vegans are sickly haha. No no, we’re definitely fine and likely much healthier. But, most people do lack iron, and vegans definitely struggle with B12. And if you feel sluggish all the time, you just may be one of those people. 

Eat well, feel good :)

So, my goal here is to make it easier for people to connect their daily health directly to the food they eat. Eat well, feel good!
