12/12/2012 6:57:36 PM | Report

sfluv HEALTHY FOOD ALERT: Purple Carrots. Purple carrots aren't simply a novelty. Their unique color reflects their healthy phytochemical constituents. Not only does 'Purple Haze' have the vitamin A and beta-carotene of ordinary carrots—evident in its orange center—it's also rich in anthocyanins, the antioxidant compounds that give blueberries their distinctive color and superfood health benefits. Studies have found that these blue and purple pigments can improve memory, enhance vision, protect against heart attacks, act as anti-inflammatories, and even help control weight.

sfluv 1. Take a walk. 2. Relax in a long shower or bath. 3. Shopping! Just don't make a habit of it. 4. It's time to hang out with friends; either in person or by chatting online. 5. Chocolate, anyone? It always puts me in a good mood! 6. Get lost in a movie. 7. Catch up on your favorite TV show online. 8. Write a list, complete a few items, check them off, and then take a break. Repeat until you're done. 9. Look at photo albums. Good memories help you to remember happier times. 10. Vacation! Go to the beach, the mountains, or your neighborhood park. It can last weeks, days, or even minutes (mental vacation: picture yourself at a glorious place). 11. Read a book, magazine, or a tweet. Anything that is entertaining and helps you to forget your troubles will do the trick. 12. Take a nap. If you don't have much time, take a power nap: a well-spent 30 minutes! 13. Make time for your hobby. Write, act, sing, paint, or whatever else you do. Just do it whole-heartedly. 14. Think about the male or female that you're interested in. Write them a love letter that you'll give them later or keep to yourself. 15. Dance to your favorite song. Do it with abandon; you know, like no one is watching.

It's even better the second day! I serve this with low fat Cheddar cheese and low fat sour cream. It's also delicious with crackers. Here are the ingredients: 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil 1 pound ground turkey 1 onion, chopped 2 cups water 1 (28 ounce) can canned crushed tomatoes 1 (16 ounce) can canned kidney beans - drained, rinsed, and mashed 1 tablespoon garlic, minced 2 tablespoons chili powder 1/2 teaspoon paprika 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper Here are the directions: Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Place turkey in the pot, and cook until evenly brown. Stir in onion, and cook until tender. Pour water into the pot. Mix in tomatoes, kidney beans, and garlic. Season chili powder, paprika, oregano, cayenne pepper, cumin, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 30 minutes.

sfluv Hey girlies! I know its flu season and the cold weather has us down, but my recent studies show that some food you are eating may help you get better. Lets start with how to avoid the cold: eat plenty of strawberries, oranges, broccoli, peppers, spinach, and cabbage. Next, lets talk about how to not get worse: eat sun flower seeds, leafy green vegies, nuts, avocados, and foods made with corn oil. Now, I have my new “Super Food”: Papayas. These lovely fruits are great for when you have a digestion problem, and happen to ward off the cold before it even starts! Thank you, Papayas.

purplepants99 So I think we can all agree that school lunches are well... Disgusting! We should all try and convince our friends to bring cold lunches. A girl in my grade takes hot lunch everyday (fried chicken everyday). I am in middle school and she weighs over

purplepants99 Do you take a lunch from home or do you eat hot lunch at school? Well, I hope everyone's answer is a home lunch. School lunches are super unhealthy and full of calories. If you pack a home lunch you can pack your own healthy foods!
