Even in the best of times, many people struggle to get high-quality sleep.  So today's podcast is devoted to foods to help you sleep. Since my last podcast, our life, as we know it, has changed drastically. Stress and anxiety are at an all-time high. The coronavirus has changed how we conduct our daily lives, and change is hard. The first thing I would like to say is stimulate don't isolate. Meaning, take this downtime as an opportunity to do something different. So many of us rush through our moments in life because we are so busy. And now we have literally been forced to stop what we are currently doing. If you are sick, I am sending you compassion. Here's to you getting steadier, stronger, and healthier every day. I know you can do it. With big change, comes stress. When we are stressed, it is hard to sleep soundly. And sleep deprivation, weakens your immunity. Virus outbreaks are not the time for a weak immune system. The good news is, there are foods to help you sleep. <h3>Foods To Help Your Sleep and Strengthen Your Immune System</h3> Not only that, these foods can help you build a stronger immunity to disease. Because, according to <a href= "https://www.mayoclinic.org/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener noreferrer">Mayo Clinic</a>, the strength of your immune system is dependent on a good night sleep.

Ordinary Vegan Podcast #73-Foods To Help You Sleep & Boost Immunity

Given the heightened risk of contracting the novel coronavirus, today’s podcast is dedicated to the single best thing you can do to avoid it. Unquestionably, I am not an alarmist, but sometimes we need to prepare for a possible disruption in our lives like the novel coronavirus.  Also, as of today, March 5, the chances of contracting the novel coronavirus is very low, so please don’t panic. But that doesn’t mean we can’t take precautions.  First off, we are being inundated with new, unfamiliar words and phrases. For example, SARS-CoV-2 is the official name of the novel coronavirus that is spreading. COVID-19 is the disease it causes.  Most media outlets use the term coronavirus to describe SARS-CoV2.  Coronaviruses CoV is a family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe disease. There are hundreds of coronaviruses, most of which circulate among animals including pigs, camels, bats and cats As a result, the term novel coronavirus (nCoV), means this virus is a new strain that has not been previously identified in humans.  It should be noted, that odds are you won’t contract novel coronavirus. Especially if you know how to protect your body from the infection. Learn today your best defense against the novel coronavirus and the best protection against any flu.  Today’s podcast includes a recipe from “The Easy 5 Ingredient Vegan Cookbook” available now on <a href="https://amzn.to/36YcAaq" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Amazon</a>.

Ordinary Vegan Podcast #72-The Single Best Way to Prevent Novel Coronavirus Infection

If you need more incentive to eat your leafy green vegetables, this podcast is especially for you. Did you know leafy green vegetables are superfoods? They are rich in vitamins and minerals. Low in calories and high in fiber and calcium. Greens can lower your risk of certain cancers, heart disease, and osteoporosis. Dark leafy green vegetables can even help manage your weight.  Not only that, evidence keeps piling up that leafy greens such as spinach and kale can keep your brain sharp and save your memory. Today’s podcast explores all the new and extraordinary breakthrough studies that could change the way you look at dark leafy green vegetables. Furthermore, we discuss tasty ways to eat and include more greens in your diet. I hope you enjoy today’s podcast.

Over the years, my philosophy on cooking plant-based grows, and how I execute recipes keeps evolving. When I was presented with the challenge of developing 100 plant-based recipes with only five ingredients, at first, I was hesitant. But then I realized that one of the most common barriers to eating plant-based foods was the learning curve and the time it took to cook. And I wanted to share my knowledge and everything I have learned to help make things easy and delicious for you. Thanks for listening.

Ordinary Vegan Podcast #71-Leafy Green Vegetables for Weight Loss & Cognitive Health

Are you looking to increase serotonin and dopamine naturally? Maybe to fight the winter blues or perhaps to help with more serious mental health issues. Let”s face it. People are feeling more and more anxious these days. Between the threat of global warming, the coronavirus, and every day news events being stressed and sad it at an all time high. Feeling sad is part of being human and temporary. Depression is more than ordinary sadness. It can cause anxiety, fatigue, trouble with concentration, and a loss of interest in activities once enjoyed.  Researchers have been studying the link between serotonin and depression for more than five decades. Their conclusion is that having too little of this neurotransmitter can cause or contribute to depression or mental health problems. In addition, multiple studies now show a major correlation between decreased serotonin and the  food we eat. Today we learn how the two neurotransmitters,  serotonin, and dopamine, stabilizes our mood, feelings of well-being, and happiness.  We also learn how these neurotransmitters work in our body and how we can increase serotonin and dopamine by the food we consume.  Not only that, there is an exact serotonin formula that you can use whenever you are feeling sad or depressed.  HOW TO INCREASE SEROTONIN & DOPAMINE NATURALLY WITH FOOD I am constantly tapping into the vast pool of studies that connect food and disease, and I hope today’s podcast can help you.  Thank you to <a href="http://zulka.com" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Zulka Sugar</a> for being today’s sponsor.

Ordinary Vegan Podcast #69 -How To Break A Bad Habit with Dr. Judson Brewer

<h3 style="text-align: center;">“I try to encourage people to shift to plant protein. I think that’s the No. 1 thing that people can do in their lifetime to positively impact climate change.” Ethan Brown, Founder Beyond Meat</h3> Many companies are entering the plant-based meat business, and sales are booming. But is vegan meat healthy? And what about all the other plant-based products targeting meat-eaters? What does "plant-based" actually mean? Simply put, plant-based is now the buzz-word for health, and marketers have seized the moment. But plant-based doesn't always equal healthy. In today’s episode, we break down the nutrition and ingredients from the two best-selling plant-based meat companies, Beyond Meat & Impossible Foods. <h3 style="text-align: center;">“Every living plant or animal cell contains heme. From a food standpoint, what matters is that heme catalyzes very specific types of chemical reactions that transform abundant, simple nutrients into this explosion of hundreds of diverse volatile odorant molecules. When you experience them together, they add up unmistakably to the smell and taste of meat.” Pat Brown, Impossible Foods Founder</h3> Their vegan meats have become so popular they are now available in dozens of chain restaurants ranging from Burger King to Kentucky Fried Chicken. While plant-based meat has taken the world by storm, most consumers fueling this market don’t know what they are eating. All they know is that it is an animal meat alternative and better for the environment. Now let's get back to the question. Is vegan meat healthy? What about the ingredients? Every plant-based meat has different components, some healthier than others. <h3 style="text-align: center;">The brands who are capturing the imagination of people -- and I’m not going to name these brands because I’m afraid I will be associated with the critique of it,” Mackey told CNBC Make It, “but some of these that are extremely popular now that are taking the world by storm, if you look at the ingredients, they are super, highly processed foods.” John Mackey, Co-Founder Whole Foods</h3> In an ideal world, we would only eat whole foods. But, that often doesn’t fit our lifestyle. But, before you eat another plant-based burger, know what you are eating. I strongly encourage you to look at a label or research online to get a full picture of the food you are consuming. In addition, we also discuss which food chains are offering complete vegan versions of those fast-food plant-based burgers now available everywhere.

Unfortunately, we live in stressful times, and stress often depletes our endocannabinoid receptors that produce serotonin or protects us from pain. Experts are still trying to fully understand the Endocannabinoid System (ECS).

Experts aren’t entirely sure how <a href= "https://ordinaryvegan.net/product/cbd-oil-capsules-from-hemp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CBD</a> interacts with the ECS, but many believe it works by preventing endocannabinoids from being broken down.

“I try to encourage people to shift to plant protein. I think that’s the No. 1 thing that people can do in their lifetime to positively impact climate change.” Ethan Brown, Founder Beyond Meat Many companies are entering the plant-based meat business, and sales are booming. But is vegan meat healthy? And what about all the other plant-based products targeting meat-eaters? What does "plant-based" actually mean? Simply put, plant-based is now the buzz-word for health, and marketers have seized the moment. But plant-based doesn't always equal healthy.

Ordinary Vegan Podcast #68-Is Vegan Meat Healthy

Unlike diets that tell you what to eat, time-restricted eating focuses on when to eat. Today’s podcast is devoted to the latest studies on time-restricted eating and the recently revealed health benefits.  Time-Restricted eating is becoming an increasingly popular way to lose weight. Furthermore, this fasting technique is showing a lot of promise.  In the past, many of the studies on time-restricted eating have involved animals rather than people.  For example, one study in 2014 found that mice that only ate food during an 8 to 9 hour period each day lost weight and had improved metabolic fitness. Also, another highly touted peer-reviewed 2015 study in PLOS One, examined a possible interplay between the frequency of eating and metabolic health like low-grade inflammation. They found that more extended fasting periods and less food consumption in the evening may lower inflammation. This study is essential because low-grade inflammations are an underlying contributor to numerous cancers and insulin resistance. Both of these studies involved mice, not human beings.  Finally, in November 2019, a new comprehensive study was done on humans, and the results were very favorable. Learn more about how you might benefit from time-restricted eating by listening to today’s podcast. Lastly,  today’s podcast was sponsored by Ordinary Vegan’s CBD from hemp.  Ordinary Vegan provides all-natural vegan, organically grown, non-gmo, gluten-free, and tested to ensure the best quality CBD Oil available.  I am proud to say, Ordinary Vegan’s CBD was featured in Retirement Magazine. Getting older is a fact of of life, but aches, pains and anxiety don’t have to be. CBD would make a great present for your mom or dad.  If you are not familiar with CBD, CBD oil from hemp is a plant-based natural additive containing cannabidiol, or CBD. While CBD is not intended to treat or cure any specific conditions, it is becoming more recognized amongst the medical community as a key component to help maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Ordinary Vegan Podcast #66- with Colleen Patrick Goudreau

Combined drug intoxication (CDI), also known as multiple drug intake, is an unnatural cause of human death. This shouldn’t be confused with drug overdose because CDI is due to the simultaneous use of multiple drugs.  CDI is becoming more common in recent years because mental health problems are on the rise, and many people are taking some kind of anti-anxiety or depression medication. What many of these people don’t know is that these prescribed medications can interact badly with common over-the-counter medications or other prescribed drugs.  Not only that, cough syrups, antihistamines, cold, and flu medications can be utterly confusing. Often people are using the same ingredients just in different packaging, thinking they’re different when in reality they have the same ingredients. Today’s podcast is dedicated to raising awareness about the dangers of mixing medications and thinking twice about what you put in your body.  We are also heading into flu season so before you reach for your go-to medication, make sure you listen to this podcast.  Above all, to be safe, read the active ingredients list before you buy any over-the-counter medication, and if you are on prescribed medication, talk to the pharmacist before combining any medications. Thanks for listening. I hope today’s podcast information helps you live a long and healthy life.

Ordinary Vegan Podcast #65 - The Dangers of Mixing Medications

In <a href="https://ordinaryvegan.net/how-not-to-diet/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Podcast #63</a> "<a href= "https://nutritionfacts.org/how-not-to-diet/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener noreferrer">How Not To Diet"</a>, Dr. Greger discussed fat burning foods to help lose weight. Today's podcast is a follow-up to a few of the foods he mentioned. First, we discuss which foods contribute to weight loss and why it works. For example, there are certain foods that increase energy expenditure. Meaning, they have metabolic boosting properties. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metabolism" target= "_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Metabolism</a> is the process by which our body converts what we eat and drink into energy. Often when we diet, our metabolism slows down because we need less energy to maintain our body. Having a high metabolic rate not only burns calories but also gives us more energy. There are also ingredients in foods that increase fat oxidation, which can increase fat burning by as much as 10-15%. Furthermore, many scientific studies now show when a person adds these fat burning foods to their diet, they can lose weight permanently.

Ordinary Vegan Podcast #63-How Not To Diet with Dr. Michael Greger

Today's podcast explores the root of all disease, chronic inflammation. Also, the anti-inflammatory foods that can help reduce and fight inflammation.  Inflammation is part of the body's response to infection and tissue damage, and it is crucial to the healing process. But over the last 15 years, studies show that when chronic inflammation lingers, it leaves your body in a constant state of alert. This can lead to chronic diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and even Alzheimer's disease. Preventing chronic inflammation and knowing the signs is crucial. Inflammation may be associated with general flu-like symptoms like fever, chills, headaches, loss of energy, and muscle stiffness. Inflammation can also cause redness, joint pain, joint stiffness, or a swollen joint. It can also affect organs like the heart and cause shortness of breath or fluid retention. Chronic inflammation can also lead to weight gain. Protect yourself by learning the causes, symptoms, and treatment of inflammation. Discover all the anti-inflammatory foods you can consume and how to include them in your diet. Today's recipes include <a href= "https://ordinaryvegan.net/anti-inflammatory-food/">5-Ingredient Broccoli Soup</a> and <a href= "https://ordinaryvegan.net/anti-inflammatory-food/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Walnut Pate</a>.  Thank you to <a href="https://oseamalibu.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Osea Malibu</a> for sponsoring this week's podcast.

Ordinary Vegan Podcast #62 - Anti-Inflammatory Food

Is your tap water safe to drink?  Contaminated water has become an alarming issue not only in the United States but all over the world.  Uncontaminated water is essential for human survival, healthy ecosystems, and sustainable development.  The tap water we drink isn’t just coming from your local stream. It comes from lakes, rivers, reservoirs, or underground sources like aquifers. And any kind of water can become polluted with chemicals, regardless of its size or location.  According to a new report by the non-profit Environmental Working Group, as many as 43 states expose millions of people to dangerous chemicals in their tap water.  Residents of Newark, New Jersey recently faced a lead water crisis which put 30,000 residents at risk of lead poisoning.  And in 2014, the city of Flint, Michigan, switched its water source to the Flint River which led to tainted drinking water that contained lead and other chemicals.  Children are particularly vulnerable to unsafe tap water. Lead exposure in children can impact brain development and the nervous system.  Water is such an important topic, and today, we explore how to make sure your tap water is safe to consume.  Sources cited for:  Is Your Tap Water Safe to Drink: <a href= "https://www.ewg.org/tapwater/">https://www.ewg.org/tapwater/</a> <a href= "https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/pfas/health-effects.html">https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/pfas/health-effects.html</a> <a href= "https://www.ewg.org/tapwater/search-results.php?zip5=90041&searchtype=zip"> https://www.ewg.org/tapwater/search-results.php?zip5=90041&searchtype=zip</a> <a href= "https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11978586">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11978586</a> <a href= "https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10228189">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10228189</a> <a href= "https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2072821/">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2072821/</a> <a href= "https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19590124">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19590124</a> <a href= "https://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/indicators/drinking-water-quality-2"> https://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/indicators/drinking-water-quality-2</a> <a href= "https://www.ewg.org/research/report-110-million-americans-could-have-pfas-contaminated-drinking-water#.WwgkkC-ZPBJ"> https://www.ewg.org/research/report-110-million-americans-could-have-pfas-contaminated-drinking-water#.WwgkkC-ZPBJ</a> Here is the <a href="https://www.ewg.org/tapwater/">link</a> to the Environmental Working Group Tap Water Database.

Ordinary Vegan Podcast #61- Is Your Tap Water Safe To Drink & The Safest Water To Drink

In today's podcast we focus on the healthiest beans you can eat from my legumes list. Legumes provide a magnitude of essential nutrients that can help you live a longer and healthier life. And science proves that beans contribute to longevity because they cool down systemic inflammation. Inflammation contributes to many long-term diseases including cardiovascular disease and cancer. Chances are legumes, such as beans and lentils are not part of your regular diet. This legumes list provides you with my favorite legumes, and some easy ways to make them part of your regular diet. <h3>Legumes List includes:</h3> Chickpeas- Also known as garbanzo beans are low in calories, rich in protein, and contain 71% of the RDI for folate. Folate is one of the B-vitamins that is needed to make red and white blood cells. Folate also converts carbohydrates into energy (metabolism) and maintains the genetic building blocks of the body. Chickpeas are an excellent base for sandwiches like this <a href="https://ordinaryvegan.net/chickpeasandwich/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Vegan Chickpea Sandwich with Sun-Dried Tomatoes</a>. Lentils- Lentils are low calorie, high fiber, high protein and contain 90% of the RDI for folate. They can be used to create almost anything from veggie burgers to soups, stews, and salads. My favorite is my east meets west <a href="https://ordinaryvegan.net/blacklentil/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Black Lentil Salad with Apples & Toasted Coconut</a>. Black Beans- Are three times less expensive than beef and chicken and are much more nutritionally dense. They can be the base for any veggie burger or as the perfect taco filler. Cannellini Beans-Make a great salad. Drain some cooked beans, add some chopped sun-dried tomatoes arugula. Top with some fresh lemon juice. Or you can make one of my all-time favorite recipes, <a href= "https://ordinaryvegan.net/hemp-seeds/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener noreferrer">Hemp Seeds, Cannellini Beans and Spinach</a>. You can find today's Three-Bean Longevity Soup recipe in this week's <a href="https://ordinaryvegan.net/legumes-list/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">show notes</a>.  Hope this legumes list inspires you to add more beans to your diet!

Ordinary Vegan Podcast #60- Legumes List, Health Benefits & Recipes

Today, I want to encourage the pursuit of imperfection.  It's called wabi-sabi, and accepting imperfection is the fundamental principal.  That does not mean to embrace failure. It means to embrace learning and to be willing not to get it entirely right.  “Wabi means simplicity, humility, and living in tune with nature." It describes someone content with little and makes the most of whatever they have.  “Sabi” refers to transience, beauty, and authenticity of age." The term has its roots in Buddhism but eventually evolved into a distinctly Japanese ideal. The Japanese tradition of wabi-sabi offers an inspiring new way to look at your entire life. It celebrates cracks, crevices and rot and all other marks that time and weather leave behind. So what does this have to do with a vegan diet? Because eating vegan is not about being perfect. And I never want to perpetuate that.  There is no such thing as a perfect human or a perfect vegan. It is time to celebrate and accept the beauty of imperfection of a vegan diet through wabi-sabi.  Always remember; when nothing is certain, everything is possible.Hope you enjoy today’s podcast.

These receptors work in a lock & key relationship. This vital system is primarily focused on supporting balance (homeostasis) in the body. If the ECS is not functioning correctly, additional nutrition may be necessary for proper support. That is where CBD oil comes in. It balances and enhances the endocannabiniod system.
