Pumpkin deserves its place on the fall menu. Behold the bounty of fall—apples, pears, root vegetables, squash, and pumpkin. Yes, pumpkin.

If you need another reason to switch to whole grains, maybe the results of a recent study will convince you. Researchers found that adults who eat three servings of whole grains a day (and less than one serving of refined grains a day) have less belly fat.
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It’s a refrain we hear from dieticians, educators, and health experts. Breakfast—or the lack thereof—has the potential to make or break your day. This tiny, early morning meal has the power to fuel your brain and body for a healthy, happy, focused day.

There are many varieties of cabbage, but Napa cabbage—sometimes called Chinese cabbage—is milder and more tender than some of its cabbage counterparts.
There are countless good reasons to eat vegetables and here’s another one: expectant mothers who eat vegetables every day have children who are less likely to develop type 1 diabetes, according to the results of a study published in Pediatric Diabetes.
A superfood must be a wonderful thing if it has earned such a label, right? Maybe. It’s a catchy label and it sounds great—but a label alone doesn’t make a food good for you.
Diets are a dime a dozen. You can choose from just about any program—eating for your blood type, eating an immune supportive diet, low carb, high protein, sugar free, gluten free, and more. But did you know there is a healthy hair and nail diet, too?
