Make Time for Strawberries

July 3, 2013 By Denise Costello

It’s strawberry season! Farmers markets are showcasing their beautiful red strawberries and you may even see a strawberry festival or two. For me, this is the first sign that summer has begun.

I take that as the first clue that this fruit is good for you. Here are my top 5 health reasons why I strive to eat strawberries every ...

May 8, 2013 By Denise Costello

Who would think that this “garnish herb” would offer such an abundance of nutritional value and virtually no calories? I try to throw it into my smoothies or salads every day – here’s why: Parsley has one of the highest concentration of flavonoids of all foods. Flavonoids are a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compound that provide cardiovascular protection, cancer protection and hinders the aging process - got to love that! Parsley is very high in iron and vitamin C, which ...
