Btw I made a PLAYLIST

“Salmon or hake?” I wondered as I compared the two frozen fish. I was in the frozen section of the best supermarket in the city. My exposed skin was cold by being exposed to the bed of ice and near the refrigerators full of snacks and fast foods. The nerves in my hands were beginning to tighten from holding the frozen packages for too long.

Ladies slowly dragging their carts through the white aisles, children crying to their mothers who already want to go home and the employees running from side to side behind me. The popular music framed my thoughts as I read the nutritional facts for each product, focusing on the grams of protein. Since I was in charge of cooking for Sukuna’s birthday, I had to choose the best products to make him the best dinner he ever had

Salmon has 20 grams of protein, 13 grams of fat and zero carbohydrates. In addition to its contribution of Omega-3, for high-performance athletes it is the ideal fish to eat, since it has a very good ratio of proteins and healthy fats. If I baked it in the oven, I was sure it would be delicious. The only problem? The famous mercury. Although, according to some studies, it is true that salmon is the fish that contains the least amount. Hake is usually it's alternative, which has less fat, but the same or more amount of protein, also it digests better.

“Salmon has more potassium, selenium, and vitamin B12.” A female voice interrupted my mental debate.

My eyes widened when I saw the beauty next to me. A thin and tall blonde woman. Her blonde hair was long and her bangs looked great on her. His thin eyebrows framed her big brown eyes. His tight"fitting black turtleneck shirt and high"waisted pants made her look phenomenal. It was like admiring a beautiful porcelain statue, you could easily get lost in the details of her person.

"Oh, thanks. Are you a nutritionist or something like that?” I asked curiously as I returned the hake to the bed of ice.

"I'm a jiu-jitsu coach. I never thought I would meet the Medusa Snake in a supermarket,” she joked.

I should have seen it before. Her physical build was magnificent for a jiu-jitsu fighter. Her arms were perfectly toned, and his long legs could knock down any rival with one kick. I started to envy her body.

"I was told you were Ryomen's coach, I see that you two are… very close," she said as she looked directly at the bracelet that Sukuna had given me earlier this morning. That was strange.

"It is a complicated task, but I think that every day we understand each other more," I answered honestly.

"I wanted to be his coach, you know?” she told me as if nothing had happened.

Something in me set off a warning alarm. I could sense that this conversation had a double intention. Was she threatening my position? Did she know that I wouldn't be Sukuna's coach anytime soon? Was she just trying to have a nice conversation in the middle of the frozen section? She was a beautiful woman to admire, but I didn't like where this was going.

"Who are you?" I asked confused, completely breaking the flow of the conversation.

"My name is Yuki Tsukumo," she introduced herself with a smile. “This is the Yuki who sent the bracelet to Sukuna!” I thought, trying not to reflect surprise on my face, but I'm not sure if I did it. “I see he received my gift, it's a shame he didn't want to use it.”

"Sukuna doesn't like receiving gifts, that's why he gave it to me,” I answered, my tone sounding more defensive than I intended.

"Thank goodness he didn't throw it in the trash," she said before taking the hake I left. "I hope he doesn't throw you away either." With that threat, she walked away, getting lost in the cereal aisle.

I just saw the beautiful woman swinging her hips away, like a poisonous viper with beautiful colored scales. I couldn't help but see the gold bracelet that rested delicately on my wrist. My gaze hyperfixed on the letters engraved on it, wondering what kind of relationship this strange woman had with Sukuna. I put the salmon in my basket and continued with my shopping in an attempt to forget the unusual conversation.

After paying for the salmon and the rest of the ingredients I would use for the special dinner, my phone started ringing. I arranged the plastic bags in one hand to get my phone out of my pants. It was Yuuji.

"Hello, Y/n!" His friendly voice sounded from the other side. "Do you have any plans for tonight?"

"Not really. I am only going to make Sukuna’s dinner for his birthday,” I answered as I walked back home.

"Cancel that. My parents just invited me and my brothers to dinner at the restaurant they just opened in the bay.” I stopped dead and sighed. “The salmon will have to wait until tomorrow.” "Do you have a pretty dress?" he wondered out of nowhere.

"Why you ask?". I asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I asked my parents if you could come. When they found out you were Sukuna's friend, they said yes.”

"Why did you do that?" I asked him, even more confused. This couldn't be good.

"Because Choso is going, duh," he answered as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

Because I was thinking about Sukuna 24/7, I had completely forgotten about Choso's existence. Yuuji still doesn't know that I like his other brother now. Plus, his parents will be there. Oh no, this can't be happening. This would be a disaster, I could sense it. Did I really have to go? My feelings churned in my chest the further I walked down the sidewalk. I stopped when I reached the crosswalk. The traffic light was red.

"I don't think this is a good idea…"

"Don't say that! It's the perfect opportunity for Choso to see you slay like the queen you are,” Yuuji lifted my spirits that I was dragging on the ground.

"Hang up the phone now!" I heard Gojo yell at him from a distance, Yuuji was still to be in the gym, training with Sukuna.

"See you in the afternoon," he said goodbye before hanging up.

The light turned green, but I still couldn't cross. I stood frozen on the sidewalk, stunned by the unusual invitation. I felt lost. I didn’t know what to do. I wanted to go because I really like hanging out with the boys, but I was afraid to find out what my true feelings were for Choso and Sukuna. Also, I raised Choso’s hopes up. What if I didn’t like him anymore because I liked Sukuna? Thai was a mess.

The traffic light turned red again. Why was I questioning my feelings for Choso? It's true that I liked Sukuna, but I liked Choso the moment I saw him. Sukuna had been an acquired taste from the times we've slept together. The gifts and me living with him seemed to have no meaning to him. I was in a dangerous situation, and he just wanted to protect me, right? Everything was so confusing. Maybe if I was to go to dinner, I had to find out what my true feelings were.

The traffic light turned green again.

After picking my outfit, an everything shower and doing my makeup, I was ready. It had been a long time since the last time I dressed up like a fine lady for dinner. I always have to wear sporty clothes due to work. Putting on a cute pink dress and applying a small wing eyeliner made me feel like a pretty princess. I brushed my hair in front of my large bathroom mirror while my stomach churned nervously. Seeing myself so different from how I normally look was like seeing an old friend I hadn't seen in years. As I put the brush back in its place, I noticed that I still had Sukuna's bracelet on my wrist.

“I don't think it's a good idea to wear it today,” I thought aloud before taking it off and putting it in a jewelry box.

I went down to the entrance at the time Sukuna and I had agreed to leave. My heels echoed with every step I took. I already wanted him to see me as “the queen” that I am, Yuuji's words. I went downstairs with every intention of surprising him, but I was the one who ended up surprised. He was already there, fixing his elegant suit in front of the mirror. I never thought I'd see a man like Sukuna, who always dresses in T-shirts and shorts, wearing a sharp black suit with an ivory turtleneck sweater. This was not the cranky man I coach, this was a millionaire man with a mobster vibe straight out of a romance novel written by a woman. From the shine on his shoes to his well"groomed hair, Sukuna looked like the jackpot.

“You look... different,” he said as he analyzed my whole body. “Of course I look different! What kind of compliment is that?!” I thought annoyed.

“You look different too.” I told him reluctantly.

“Are you ready to go?” He asked. I just nodded excitedly before following him out the door.

In the nighttime tapestry of the city, the bright lights painted a surreal panorama. The asphalt shone like an ebony river, reflecting the headlights of passing cars like wandering fireflies. The city had an air of mystery and adventure. Tokyo was a place where anything could happen, where dreams came true and nightmares lurked in the shadows. The steering wheel turned under my fingers like a rudder guiding a ship through a sea of metal. The roar of the engine was a discordant symphony that echoed in the silence of the night.

“How did training with Gojo go?” I asked him to get a topic of conversation.

"Everything was going well until I had to train again with the useless rookies,” he muttered in annoyance, gripping the steering wheel firmly. "Have you thought about who your replacement will be?" He asked.

"I have a few candidates in mind,” I answered. "In fact, a coach approached me when I went to the market, but she didn't give me a good vibe.”

"Why?" he asked, curious.

"I think you already know each other."

"What's her name?”

"Yuki Tsukumo." Sukuna braked the car in its tracks, making us bounce in our seats. Thank God we had our seat belts on. If we hadn’t, I would have slammed into the glass. "What the fuck is wrong with you?!" I exclaimed with my heart in my hand.

Sukuna didn't answer me. He squeezed the steering wheel, clearly annoyed, to park next to the curb. He took off his seatbelt to lean back on the steering wheel. Who was this Yuki Tsukumo that could make Sukuna act like this? An ex-partner? Impossible, Yuuji told me that he has never had a girlfriend. Someone he slept with in the past? I don't blame him, she's beautiful.

"You better not tell Choso or Yuuji that you ran into her," he told me after letting out a long sigh.

"Why not? Is there something I should know?” I asked him confused with the whole situation.

"She is Choso's ex-fiancée,” he answered before holding his forehead in concern.

"Oh…”

Sukuna POV

I couldn't believe this blonde bitch had shown up again. Finally, when we had all left her in the past, she decided to come back for more. I clearly remembered the first time I saw that stupid girl smiling from cheek to cheek as if she were a pure soul. Choso looked so happy and proud to introduce her as his future wife. Poor asshole, he didn't know what he was getting into... and neither did I.

I still vividly remembered the night where everything turned into a shit show. The UFC had paid me the best suite in Las Vegas for my first championship fight. Sometimes I closed my eyes to return to that majestic place. Admiring the Strip, a glittering ribbon of casinos, hotels, and attractions that never sleeps, Paris's iconic Eiffel Tower twinkling with a thousand lights, and the High Roller Ferris wheel rising above the horizon like a giant lighthouse. I fucked a prostitute in the middle of the wide balcony, enjoying the panorama that stretched out in front of me.

"Sukuna!" The whore screamed my name desperately.

My hips didn't stop pounding into her. Her tits were bouncing in my face and her legs were spread across the couch. I opened her ass to reach the deepest part of her being. I had paid a good amount for her, she was willing to destroy her physically and emotionally. I pulled her hair while my cock hit her cervix, her limit. I was so close to reaching the climax, ensuring my future victory... but some idiot had to ring the bell at that moment.

I was so close that I didn't care that the person would stay outside all night. I didn't care if it was Choso, Gojo, Yuuji or my parents. I was very busy. The idiot didn't seem to want to understand that I wasn't going to open it, so he kept insisting on the fucking doorbell. Ding-dong. Ding-Dong. Ding-fucking-Dong. The annoying sound made me lose focus.

"Fuck!" I screamed before pulling my cock out of the whore. She sighed in annoyance, plopping down on the couch. "Hide in the closet or something, I'm not done with you." I told her before wrapping a towel around my hips.

"I'm going to charge you extra!" She yelled at me before following my instruction.

I straightened my towel before reluctantly opening the door. In front of me was the last person I thought I would meet. It was Yuki, Choso's guest. What the fuck was she doing here at midnight? Especially alone. From her pajamas and her slightly messy hair, I could tell she had escaped from the bed she shared with my younger brother.

"What the hell are you doing here?" I asked her, annoyed. "It better be important."

"I want to talk about business, can I come in?" she asked me with her usual flirtatious smile.

"No. Just tell me what you have to say so you can leave me the fuck alone,” I answered. I could already feel my balls turning blue.

"Do you kiss your mother with that filthy?" she joked.

"I'm not in the mood, spit it out before I slam the door in your face," I blurted out. It was the last warning I was going to give her.

"I noticed that you don't have a coach who specializes in jiu-jitsu. I know you don't accept women in your gym, but if you allow me to be part of your team, I can…".

I couldn't help but laugh in her face, cutting her off completely. Did she just interrupt my good luck ritual to offer herself as my coach? I knew she was a jiu-jitsu coach at a local gym, but I never thought she had the balls to ask me to recruit her. Couldn't she do this another day or in the morning? Why right here when Choso is surely sleeping peacefully thinking that she is by his side? Was this shit serious? There were so many questions about her behavior that I could only laugh.

"I don't see what's funny about it," Yuki said, crossing her arms.

"Then you have a terrible sense of humor," I answered. "Is that all you have to tell me?"

"I'm sure I'm a better fighter than you, I could kick your ass if I wanted to," she said annoyed.

"I want to see you try," I said. “She wouldn't dare,” I thought for sure.

Well, she dared. She attacked me by surprise with a kick to the abdomen. I lowered my arm, preventing it from connecting completely, but it did hit my side. I couldn't defend myself well while just having a towel on. One wrong move and I was already naked. I backed away out of inertia, allowing her to enter the suite. She jumped at me to continue hitting me.

"Bitch!" I screamed while covering my private parts.

"I'm going to show you that you need me on your team!" She shouted with a smirk on his face.

"I don't want anyone else on my team!" I exclaimed.

How the hell did we get to this situation? I wasn't sure, but I had to do something about it. She pulled and punched me, trying to take me down like any jiu-jitsu fighter would do. She launched another kick at me, this time I evaded it in time, but she broke a lamp in the process. I was debating in my mind whether I should knock her out with one punch. I could not do it. Even though she was crazy, she was Choso's fiancée. My first option was to call one of my brothers or someone saner.

"Just think about it seriously, with my brain and your muscles I could make you a millionaire in less than you think," she told me excitedly.

So she was after the money. Which is normal… but that didn't explain why she was acting so secretive. Why didn't she tell Choso he wanted a job on the Team Black? There was something else she wasn't telling me. I entered the master bedroom as quickly as possible without exposing my cock to grab the phone, but she ended up cornering me against the closet before I could get to it. At the sudden knock, the prostitute screamed.

"Who is it?" Yuki asked me confused.

"I didn't know he had a wife!" The whore screamed opening the closet door. “Oh no,” I thought. "Please don't hit me!" The poor girl yelled as she fled the scene.

"Hey! We're not done yet!” I yelled.

And as if fate was mocking me, I dropped the towel. I was in the middle of a teenager's worst nightmare. Yuki shamelessly looked down, making this more awkward than it already was. By this point I was praying that this was a bad taste prank. I just wanted Yuuji or Gojo to come into the room with a camera in hand, mocking my reaction, but that never happened.

"Nice girl you hired," she laughed at me. And just when I thought this was only going to get worse, I heard the voice of my potential savior.

"Sukuna!" I heard Choso's voice from the door as he rang the doorbell as if his life depended on it.

"You worried your future husband," I told her before pushing her to let go, so I could put the towel back on.

"Hire me, or I'll tell Choso I cheated on him with you," Yuki threatened me.

"What?!" I asked him, frowning at the tremendous bullshit she just said.

That's when it hit me. Yuki came to ask me for a job without Choso because she is only with him for convenience. She's only with him to blatantly get close to me. Since I don't accept women in the gym, this was his solution to get to me. I should have seen it before. I remember how at dinner with our parents he spent the time talking about jiu-jitsu and the UFC, sharing his extensive knowledge on the subject. Everyone was delighted with her, but she drove me crazy.

"Are you that desperate for money?" I asked him, not believing what was happening.

"You don't have much time,” Yuki crossed her arms as the ringing continued.

"Sukuna!" Choso exclaimed again.

"I trust Choso, he is not stupid enough to fall for something like that."

End of Sukuna POV

"Choso was stupid enough to fall for that,” Sukuna blurted out after recounting the tragedy that happened that day. "He knew about my lucky ritual and to this day he still thinks I fucked his fiancée," he said as he looked towards the car in front of us.

I was just listening to him while Sign Of The Times by Harry Styles was playing on the radio. We were still parked so that Sukuna could tell me in great detail what had happened with Yuki and Choso. It was a hard story to believe. A woman interrupting his suite in the middle of his lucky ritual and then threatening to break off his relationship with his brother over a measly coaching job is not something you hear every day.

"I tried to explain to him several times what happened, but he never wanted to listen to me. Then he told Yuuji and since that idiot doesn't know how to shut up, everyone in the gym knows,” he explained. "It's an absurd story, I know, but…".

"I believe you," I told him before he could finish his sentence.

"You do?" he looked at me, confused.

"Why are you surprised? I believed you when you told me about your lucky ritual.” I said. "Is it a strange story? Yes, but we are a team. If you tell me the sky is pink, I believe you. If you tell me that pigs fly, I believe you. If you tell me that Yuki Tsukumo is a bitch, I'll believe you.”

Sukuna smiled at my response. He looked relieved, as if a great weight had been lifted from his shoulders. I smiled back at his reaction. Sukuna always has been honest with me, I had no reason to doubt him. Even though I had little time left as his coach, I planned to continue by his side. I don't know if it was the sad story or my feelings towards him got in the way that made me take off my seat belt to reach him. He didn't know what exactly was going through his mind, but whatever it was, he needed a hug.

My body felt light when he reciprocated the gesture. Our bodies melted in the warmth of the moment. His hands traveled down my back to press me closer to his broad chest. I would have liked to stop time to stay here all my life. Maybe Sukuna didn't like me back, but I knew I someone important to him, and I was happy with that.

The luxurious restaurant at the Grand Palace Hotel had an elegant atmosphere with high ceilings, panoramic windows and sparkling chandeliers. Sukuna and I made our way among the tables covered with white tablecloths and velvet chairs that invited guests to delight in an exquisite menu. In the distance, we saw his family. They were happy to see us, but they were also clearly disappointed for arriving 20 minutes late. Everyone looked elegant and sophisticated, especially Choso. He always looked good, but today he looked phenomenal in his gray suit and white shirt. He greeted me with a smile on his face as soon as we approached the table.

"You look beautiful,” he complimented me. My heart skipped a beat with happiness. “Are you watching, Sukuna? This is how you give a compliment,” I thought with blushing cheeks.

"I thought I raised you to always be on time," the mother scolded Sukuna.

According to Yuuji, Kaori Itadori was a highly sophisticated and strict mother. She has always focused on giving his children the best education so that they would grow up to be strong men and providers. An extremely traditional and Catholic woman. She sounded like the worst mother-in-law you could have.

"There was a lot of traffic," Sukuna answered reluctantly as we sat at the table.

Choso helped me, pulling my chair like a perfect gentleman. I was so nervous having him so close, since Yuuji gave me his seat, so I could sit next to him. My mind was at peace realizing that I still liked Choso a lot.

"At this time? The report says that the streets are quite clear,” his mother challenged him.

"Honey, it was only 20 minutes. You're going to scare his girlfriend away,” her husband, Jin Itadori, told her. He was like any dad, pretty chill and care free.

"She is not my girlfriend. She's my coach,” Sukuna clarified, starting to get annoyed.

"But you live together," his mother said.

"You live together?" Choso asked me confused. “Oh no,” I thought. I had barely arrived, and I already wanted to go home. I had a feeling this woman was going to try to embarrass me in any way possible the rest of the evening.

"It is a long story," I said, trying to cut the tension.

"You see, Sukuna kicked his ex's ass. This ex almost raped her in the past, so Sukuna offered her to live with him so she would feel safe,” Yuuji explained the situation.

"Yuuji!" Sukuna and I scolded him.

"I'm just trying to help!" Yuuji defended himself.

I wanted to die. Yuuji just told the whole table my life trauma as if it were the plot of a movie he watched on Netflix. I hid in my hands from shame, praying that the earth would swallow me whole.

"I'll smoke outside," Choso said before getting up from the table to retreat to the balcony.

"Is it necessary to ask those questions now?" Sukuna asked his mother, already annoyed.

"You know what I think about concubinage," His mother scolded him, disappointed.

"We're not a couple. We just work together.” Sukuna rolled his eyes.

"Besides, Y/n likes Choso, don’t you?" Yuuji asked me to make his mother stop bugging me with questions about my relationship with their sons.

"I need fresh air," I excused myself to get out of there as quickly as possible.

I knew this was a bad idea from the start. I should have said no to Yuuji. I went out to the balcony to breathe deeply and admire the view of the city. I looked at Choso to explain what was happening. I found him smoking on the other side of the balcony, just as he had told us. He looked so elegant and mysterious in front of the pretty city lights. A beautiful contrast between brightness and darkness.

"Long time no see," I greeted him, approaching him.

"Does Sukuna treat you well?" He asked me, ignoring my greeting. It seemed like being straightforward ran in the family.

"I can’t complain," I answered honestly. "Sometimes he's a jerk, but you already know that," I joked. He smiled with the cigarette between his lips.

"I know… very well," he said as he blew the smoke into the wind, being careful not to blow it in my face.

"Does it bother you that I live with him?" I asked him worried.

"Of course not, I just didn't expect it," he answered. "Yuuji told me that you're going to quit soon, is that true?" I was happy to see that he was treating me as always.

"That's right, I'm very excited to return to the gym with my team.”

Choso despite having some similarities with Sukuna, he was so kind in comparison. His voice was sweet, his touch was pleasant, and his words filled me with joy. My heart moved every time he spoke to me. In the end, I realized that I still liked him, and I was very happy that it was that way. He was my ideal man.

"Are you still thinking about calling me when you become the protector again?" He wondered with a thread of hope. My cheeks blushed redder as I listened. I had already forgotten what I had said to him that night at the bar.

"You know it," I answered him with a smile.

Are These Coffee Alternatives Worth The Hype?

From the Brain-Boosting Effects of Guarana to the Calming Properties of Matcha, These Drinks Offer Both an Energy Lift and Enhanced Mental Focus.

— By Jocelyn Solis-Moreira | August 29, 2024

For many, the day doesn’t begin without that first sip of coffee—a ritual so ingrained it’s almost synonymous with morning itself. But as interest in health and wellness grows, caffeine alternatives offering a different pick-me-up are gaining traction. From the ancient ritual of matcha to the probiotic benefits of kombucha, a range of options promises to energize your morning without the usual coffee jitters. Here’s what you need to know.

Mushroom Coffee ☕️

Mushroom coffee is emerging as an energy-boosting alternative to your regular cup of joe, says Jessica Gavin, a food scientist and author of Easy Culinary Science for Better Cooking.

This morning blend combines ground coffee beans with adaptogenic mushrooms like chaga, reishi, lion’s mane, and cordyceps. Unlike their psychedelic counterparts, these mushrooms won’t alter your mind, but they can help the body adapt to stress, improve immune function, and maintain steady focus, says Gavin. Adding mushrooms to your beverage also provides antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals such as potassium, selenium, and B vitamins.

According to Gavin, most mushroom coffee products use less caffeine—about 48 to 50 milligrams—compared to an eight-ounce cup of coffee which contains 80 to 100 milligrams of caffeine.

“Because mushroom coffee does not have the same taxing load on your central nervous system, one could reasonably assume it’s a better alternative than a cup of coffee or green tea,” says Yaa Boakye, a registered dietitian nutritionist and owner of Elite Body Data.

However, mushrooms like chaga can contain high levels of oxalates, which may increase the risk of kidney stones if consumed in excess.

Matcha Green Tea 🍵

Matcha, a potent form of green tea, delivers more than just a caffeine kick. With around 70 milligrams of caffeine per serving—more than the 50 milligrams in black tea—this herbal brew offers sustained energy without the jitters. According to Gavin, matcha’s unique combination of caffeine and antioxidants boosts brain energy while promoting relaxation, thanks to the amino acid L-theanine, which is known to reduce stress and protect against neuronal injury.

Yerba Mate 🧉

Containing roughly as much caffeine as coffee, South America’s super brew, yerba mate, packs more antioxidants than any other tea-based drink. Made from the leaves of holly trees native to the region, yerba mate offers a steady caffeine release, providing sustained energy without the jitters. According to Boakye, this tea is also rich in polyphenols, vitamins, and minerals not typically found in traditional caffeinated beverages.

Research shows that yerba mate can boost mental alertness and enhance physical performance. Additional benefits include antimicrobial properties, support for weight loss, and the potential to lower blood sugar, reduce cholesterol, and combat chronic inflammation.

Yaupon Tea 🫖

Yaupon tea, brewed from the leaves of the yaupon holly—the only caffeinated plant native to the United States—offers a mild yet energizing boost. Bryan Quoc Le, a food scientist and author of 150 Food Science Questions Answered, says that yaupon tea contains 0.1 to 2 percent caffeine, less than coffee’s 1 to 3 percent. However, it’s not just about caffeine; yaupon tea is rich in xanthines, including theobromine, which enhances mood and alertness without the jitters.

Kombucha 🧋

Kombucha, a fermented tea, is celebrated for its gut health benefits and mild stimulant effects. According to Le, kombucha retains some of the tea’s bioactive compounds, including 3 to 6 percent caffeine, depending on how it’s brewed. But the real star is its probiotics—beneficial microorganisms that nourish the gut’s “good” bacteria. A healthy gut microbiome is linked to improved cognitive functions like attention, memory, and learning. Additionally, kombucha is rich in B vitamins, which Boakye says help the body metabolize nutrients into cellular fuel.

Guarana ☕️

Guarana stands out for its impressive caffeine content, with berries containing 2 to 8 percent caffeine—far exceeding the 1 to 3 percent in coffee beans. In addition to caffeine, guarana is rich in stimulating compounds like theophylline and theobromine, which, according to Gavin, boost cognitive performance, reduce fatigue, and increase alertness. It also boasts antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties.

Often found in energy drinks with doses ranging from 50 to 75 milligrams, guarana can also be added as a powder to smoothies or other beverages. However, Boakye cautions against excessive consumption to avoid caffeine crashes and jitteriness, noting that the FDA recommends a daily limit of 400 milligrams of caffeine.

“If someone is about to sit and do some office work, [guarana] is probably not a good idea,” says Boakye. “But if you’re about to go and do a workout or an intense boot camp, [it] might be helpful since it provides that quick burst of energy.”

Turmeric Lattes🥤

For a caffeine-free morning boost, turmeric lattes, known as golden milk, deliver powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. Made with turmeric and curcumin, this golden drink can be enhanced with a touch of coconut oil and black pepper, which improve curcumin absorption, says Gavin. Ginger, another key ingredient, aids digestion and adds a spicy kick.

“I prefer it in the morning because the combination of ingredients has a way of stimulating you,” says Gavin. She says the sensation of the gingery spices, pepper, and warm cinnamon on your tongue helps wake up the senses differently than caffeine.

How to cure Thyroid natural

source url:-https://ext-6616443.livejournal.com/418.html?newpost=1

Introduction

The thyroid is an endocrine gland. Its location is in the inferior, anterior neck, and it is responsible for the formation and secretion of thyroid hormones as well as iodine homeostasis within the human body. The thyroid produces approximately 90% inactive thyroid hormone, or thyroxine (T4), and 10% active thyroid hormone, or triiodothyronine (T3). Inactive thyroid hormone is converted peripherally to either activated thyroid hormone or an alternative inactive thyroid hormone

Signs and symptoms of Thyroid

AnxietyThe signs and symptoms of thyroid dysfunction can vary depending on whether the thyroid is producing too much or too little of its hormones.

When the thyroid produces too much – a condition called hyperthyroidism – signs and symptoms can include:

Waight loss

Rapid heart rate

Heat intolerance

Sweating

Difficulty sleeping

Remors in your hands and fingers

When the thyroid does not produce enough hormones – a condition called hypothyroidism – symptoms can include:

Fatigue

Weakness

Weight gain

Cold intolerance

Dry skin or hair

How to check thyroid status

Blood tests: These tests can tell you if you have hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism. There are several types of thyroid blood tests, including thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), T3 and T4, and thyroid antibodies.

List of Home Remediey

Here are some widely considered remedies that may help with your thyroid treatment at home

Coconut oil

This has high content of saturated or healthy fat (healthy) and when used with the right combination of exercises and a properly balanced diet, it could be good for thyroid glands. You can also use coconut oil for your regular cooking once in a while

Apple cider vinegar

This helps in the balanced production and expression of hormones. It also washes away toxins from the body and promotes absorption of nutrients. Apple cider vinegar can be added to water along with honey and can be taken every morning.

Vitamins help to fight the underlying causes of thyroid problems, particularly

Vitamin B

h are essential for proper thyroid function. Vitamin B12 is especially instrumental in helping people with hypothyroidism. Including eggs, meat, fish, legumes, milk, and not in daily diet might help with a steady supply of Vitamin B.

Ginger

Ginger helps combat inflammation which is one of the primary causes of thyroid issues. Drinking ginger tea is the best way to consume ginger. Apart from that, it can also be infused with coconut oil and applied on body.

Vitamin D

Deficiency of this nutrient can lead to thyroid problems and since the body can produce it only when exposed to the sun, ensure that you get a minimum of 15 minutes of sunlight daily. Include foods rich in Vitamin D in your diet which includes fatty fishes like salmon and mackerel, dairy products, orange juice, and egg yolks.

Dairy products

As dairy products such as milk, cheese, and yoghurt are beneficial for thyroid as they have high iodine content. Incorporate these items in your daily diet, but be careful if you are lactose intolerance.

Almonds

Almonds are a good source of protein, fibre, and minerals and are best suited for proper thyroid expression. These nuts have selenium which is a thyroid healthy nutrient and is also very rich in magnesium that can keep the thyroid gland working very smoothly.

Beans

Beans are high in fibre which helps to relieve constipation, which is a common side effect of hypothyroidism. Some ways to consume beans include adding them to side dishes, salads, stews and soups.

Iodine Supplements

These supplements restore the balance of iodine in the body and help with thyroid health.

Probiotics

Probiotic food items such as kefir, kimchi, and miso has shown to have beneficial effects on thyroid problems.

Asparagus

Including asparagus in your diet is also a popular natural remedy for thyroid treatment at home as it has a lot of anti-inflammatories, anti-bacterial and antioxidant property

Physical activity

Regular exercising can help alleviate various symptoms of hypothyroidism. Also, specific yoga poses have seen to be effective in enhancing thyroid functioning.

Conclusion

While it is important to consult a doctor and follow the treatment prescribed to keep thyroid problems under control, but by trying above listed home remedies, you can keep the side effects of thyroid medication at bay.

Discover the Magic of Sunshine Dishes: Where Flavor Meets Inspiration

At Sunshine Dishes, we bring the warmth of the kitchen to food lovers around the world. Whether you're searching for innovative new recipes, time-saving cooking tips, or inspired meal ideas, we are your go-to destination. Our goal is to ignite your passion for cooking with every dish we present—brightening your table and your tastebuds, one recipe at a time.

One of our specialties that has gained tremendous popularity is our take on tasty turkey ribs—a lesser-known delicacy that promises to steal the spotlight at your next meal.

What Are Turkey Ribs? A Hidden Gem in the World of Poultry

Turkey ribs are a culinary treasure that many food enthusiasts have yet to discover. Despite the name, they aren’t traditional ribs; they are cut from the shoulder blade of the turkey, offering a meaty, tender bite that absorbs flavors beautifully. At Sunshine Dishes, we elevate this cut with seasoning profiles and cooking techniques that make it a must-try dish for both weekday meals and festive feasts.

Tasty Turkey Ribs: A Flavor-Packed Recipe You’ll Make Again and Again

Ingredients You’ll Need:

2 lbs turkey ribs (bone-in)

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp smoked paprika

1 tbsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp black pepper

1 tsp sea salt

½ tsp cayenne pepper (optional for heat)

½ cup barbecue sauce (your choice)

Fresh parsley for garnish

Cooking Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Pat the turkey ribs dry with a paper towel. This ensures a crispy finish.

In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, salt, and cayenne.

Rub the spice mixture thoroughly onto the ribs. Drizzle with olive oil.

Arrange the ribs on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper.

Bake uncovered for 45–50 minutes, turning halfway through.

Brush with barbecue sauce during the last 10 minutes of cooking for a caramelized glaze.

Garnish with parsley and serve hot.

Pro Tip: For fall-off-the-bone tenderness, marinate your turkey ribs in the seasoning blend for 12–24 hours before baking.

Health Benefits of Choosing Turkey Ribs Over Traditional Options

Turkey is an excellent source of lean protein, packed with essential nutrients like vitamin B6, niacin, and selenium. Compared to pork or beef ribs, turkey ribs are lower in fat and cholesterol, making them a heart-healthy alternative that doesn’t skimp on flavor.

We recommend pairing these tasty turkey ribs with:

Garlic roasted sweet potatoes

Coleslaw with apple cider vinaigrette

Grilled asparagus or sautéed kale

These sides enhance the flavor while keeping your plate colorful and nutritious.

Global Inspiration: How We Bring World Flavors to Your Table

At Sunshine Dishes, we believe food is the most vibrant expression of culture. That’s why we take inspiration from global culinary traditions—merging bold spices, local ingredients, and seasonal techniques into dishes that bring comfort and excitement to every bite.

Top Cooking Tips for Perfect Turkey Ribs Every Time

To master tasty turkey ribs, keep these expert techniques in mind:

Low and slow wins the race: Baking at moderate temperatures retains moisture and enhances tenderness.

Use a meat thermometer: Turkey ribs are fully cooked at 165°F, but letting them reach 175°F enhances flavor and texture.

Rest before serving: Allowing your ribs to rest for 5–10 minutes after baking ensures juices are redistributed, keeping each bite succulent.

Experiment with marinades: Use citrus, soy sauce, or yogurt-based marinades for depth and complexity.

Rheumatoid Arthritis foods to Avoid

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, progressive inflammatory disease that primarily affects the joints but can also impact other organs and systems in the body. While medications are essential to slow the disease's progression and minimize joint damage, they are not a standalone solution. A comprehensive approach one that includes dietary changes is crucial to effectively manage RA. Diet plays a major role in controlling inflammation and easing symptoms. Certain foods can trigger flare-ups and worsen joint pain, making it essential for patients to understand which Rheumatoid Arthritis foods to avoid. Items like processed and fried foods, refined sugars, full-fat dairy, red meat, and gluten can contribute to increased inflammation and discomfort. By eliminating these dietary triggers and focusing on anti-inflammatory nutrition, individuals living with RA can support their treatment plan and improve their quality of life.

Understanding the Role of Diet in Rheumatoid Arthritis

RA causes the immune system to mistakenly attack the body’s own tissues, particularly the joints. This leads to painful inflammation, stiffness, and swelling. Certain foods can either fuel this inflammation or help soothe it. Therefore, knowing which rheumatoid arthritis foods to avoid is just as important as understanding which ones to include in your diet.

Let’s explore the foods that may worsen RA symptoms and also look at supplements and dietary strategies that can help ease the discomfort.

Supplements for Rheumatoid Arthritis

In addition to avoiding trigger foods, some supplements can support joint health and reduce inflammation:

Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Found in fish oil, omega-3s help reduce joint inflammation and stiffness.

Turmeric (Curcumin): A powerful anti-inflammatory compound that helps alleviate joint pain.

Vitamin D and Calcium: Essential for maintaining strong bones and preventing osteoporosis, common in RA patients.

Ginger Extract: Contains compounds that reduce inflammation and stiffness.

Glucosamine and Chondroitin: These support cartilage health and may relieve joint pain.

Magnesium: Helps in muscle relaxation and supports bone density.

Zinc: Supports immune function and inflammation control.

Vitamin B12 and Folate: Essential for nerve function and reducing joint pain.

Selenium: Acts as an antioxidant and may help reduce joint inflammation.

Before starting any supplement, it’s essential to consult a healthcare provider to ensure it complements your current treatment.

Rheumatoid Arthritis Foods to Avoid

1. Fried Foods and Trans Fats

Fried foods, especially those cooked in hydrogenated oils, contain trans fats that increase inflammation. Common culprits include fried chicken, French fries, and processed snack foods. These foods also contain advanced glycation end products (AGEs), which worsen inflammation. Avoid oils high in omega-6 fatty acids like corn oil and vegetable oil, as they can disrupt the balance of healthy fats in your body.

2. Refined Carbohydrates and Sugars

Refined sugars and carbs spike blood sugar levels, leading to inflammation. Foods like white bread, pastries, donuts, sodas, and sugary cereals should be avoided. These items contain fructose and glucose, which can trigger or exacerbate inflammatory responses in RA patients.

3. Aspartame

Aspartame is an artificial sweetener often used in diet sodas and sugar-free products. For people with RA, especially those sensitive to artificial ingredients, it may cause unwanted inflammatory reactions. Since it is not naturally processed by the body, it may lead to adverse effects like headaches or increased joint pain.

4. Dairy Products

Dairy is rich in calcium and vitamin D, but full-fat dairy products may trigger inflammation in some individuals. It’s better to opt for low-fat dairy options like skim milk, low-fat yogurt, or plant-based alternatives such as almond or oat milk, especially if you notice your symptoms worsen after consuming full-fat dairy.

5. Gluten

While RA is different from celiac disease, some patients find that gluten worsens their joint pain and fatigue. Gluten is found in wheat, rye, and barley. Foods like pasta, couscous, and soy sauce commonly contain gluten. Gluten may also appear in certain supplements and medications, so always check the labels.

6. MSG (Monosodium Glutamate)

MSG is a flavor enhancer found in many packaged and fast foods, including soy sauce, deli meats, instant noodles, and some canned soups. It can increase inflammation in sensitive individuals. Naturally occurring MSG is also present in tomatoes, cheese, and yeast extract, so moderation is key.

7. Salt

Excessive salt intake is linked to increased inflammation and higher blood pressure. RA patients should reduce their consumption of salty snacks, processed foods, and restaurant meals. Instead of adding salt to meals, enhance flavor with anti-inflammatory herbs and spices such as parsley, turmeric, cinnamon, and oregano.

Foods to Avoid with Arthritis to Reduce Pain

The following categories are best avoided to keep inflammation and joint pain in check:

Processed and Fried Foods – Contain trans fats and chemicals that worsen inflammation.

Refined Carbs (e.g., White Bread, Baked Goods) – Promote blood sugar spikes.

Sugary Beverages – Increase weight gain and joint stress.

Red Meat – Includes compounds that may elevate inflammation.

Full-Fat Dairy Products – May trigger flare-ups in sensitive individuals.

Beverages to Avoid with Rheumatoid Arthritis

Just as certain foods can worsen RA, so can beverages. Avoid:

Sugary Sodas and Energy Drinks – High sugar content can contribute to systemic inflammation.

Alcohol – Excessive intake can interfere with RA medications and increase joint swelling.

High-Caffeine Drinks – Excessive caffeine raises cortisol, a hormone linked to inflammation.

Artificially Sweetened Beverages – May cause sensitivity reactions in some RA sufferers.

Diet for Rheumatoid Arthritis: What to Include

A well-structured diet can help reduce joint inflammation, improve mobility, and boost overall wellness.

Top Anti-Inflammatory Foods:

Fatty Fish (Salmon, Mackerel) – Packed with omega-3 fatty acids.

Leafy Greens (Kale, Spinach) – Rich in antioxidants and essential nutrients.

Berries (Blueberries, Strawberries) – Contain flavonoids that fight inflammation.

Whole Grains (Brown rice, Oats) – Stabilize blood sugar and reduce inflammation markers.

Nuts and Seeds (Walnuts, Flaxseeds) – Offer healthy fats and fiber.

Olive Oil – Great source of monounsaturated fat and polyphenols.

Legumes (Lentils, Chickpeas) – Provide plant-based protein and fiber.

Green Tea – Loaded with polyphenols that slow cartilage breakdown.

Spices like Turmeric and Ginger – Natural pain relievers and inflammation fighters.

Can Diet Help Manage Rheumatoid Arthritis?

Absolutely. Diet is a powerful tool in managing rheumatoid arthritis. While it won’t cure the disease, eating the right foods and avoiding inflammatory triggers can significantly reduce pain, stiffness, and flare-ups. Combining a healthy diet with your prescribed medication and lifestyle changes (like exercise and stress management) is the best approach for long-term relief.

Conclusion

Rheumatoid arthritis is a lifelong condition, but with the right dietary choices, it is possible to manage symptoms effectively and improve your quality of life. Knowing which rheumatoid arthritis foods to avoid is the first step toward better joint health. From processed foods and sugary drinks to gluten and artificial additives, cutting out inflammatory triggers can make a big difference. At the same time, enriching your diet with nutrient-rich, anti-inflammatory foods can ease joint pain and promote overall wellness.

Remember, health is wealth and taking control of your diet today can lead to a healthier, more active tomorrow. If you or someone you know is battling RA, consider sharing this guide and consult with your healthcare provider to personalize your dietary plan.

We'll break down the popular choices, compare what they offer, and help you figure out which one fits your health goals and tastes best. Whether you're cutting carbs, going gluten-free, or just want more nutrients, there's a delicious noodle waiting for you.

Key Takeaways

- "Healthy Noodle" Varies: What's "healthy" depends on your goals (low-carb, high-fiber, gluten-free, etc.). - Whole Grains Rock: Whole-wheat pasta offers more fiber and nutrients than regular white pasta. - Legumes Pack Protein: Noodles made from chickpeas, lentils, or beans are high in protein and fiber, keeping you full longer. - Veggies are Low-Cal/Low-Carb: Zucchini noodles ("zoodles") and spaghetti squash are great for cutting calories and carbs but lower in protein. - Shirataki = Near Zero: Made from konjac root, these are very low in calories and carbs but can have a unique texture and may cause digestive issues for some. - Rice Noodles: Often gluten-free, but nutritional value varies (brown rice is better than white). - Consider the Whole Meal: Any noodle can be part of a healthy meal when paired with lean protein, lots of veggies, and mindful portions.

What Does "Healthy Noodle" Actually Mean?

The term "healthy noodle" can mean different things to different people. It really depends on what you're looking for! Let's break down what might make a noodle "healthy" for you: - Low Carb/Calories: Maybe you're watching your carb intake for keto or weight management. In this case, vegetable noodles (like zucchini or spaghetti squash) or shirataki noodles are super low in both. These options help you enjoy noodle-like textures without the heavy carb load. - High Fiber: Fiber is fantastic! It helps you feel full after eating, keeps your digestion running smoothly, and can even support heart health. Whole-wheat pasta and legume-based pastas (like chickpea or lentil) are excellent sources of dietary fiber. - High Protein: If you want to stay satisfied longer between meals or support muscle health, legume pastas pack a serious protein punch compared to traditional or veggie noodles. Protein helps keep hunger at bay. - Gluten-Free: For people with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity, finding safe options is crucial. Choices like rice noodles, quinoa pasta, legume pastas, shirataki noodles, and veggie noodles are naturally free from gluten. - More Nutrients: Regular white pasta often loses some vitamins and minerals during processing. Whole-wheat pasta keeps the nutrient-rich parts of the grain (bran and germ), offering more B vitamins, iron, magnesium, and selenium. Veggie noodles also chip in with vitamins like C and A. It’s worth remembering that even regular white pasta can have a place in a balanced diet. Think about portion sizes and what you eat with your pasta. As many nutrition experts point out, pairing pasta with plenty of vegetables and lean protein makes for a much more balanced meal. It's often the huge portions and heavy sauces that cause problems, not the pasta itself.

Popular Healthy Noodle Alternatives Explored

Ready to explore some popular healthy noodle choices? Let's look at what makes each one unique: Whole-Wheat Pasta This is often the simplest swap if you're used to regular pasta. It's made using the entire wheat kernel – the bran, germ, and endosperm. This means it holds onto more natural goodness. - Pros: Higher in fiber (typically 2-3 times more than white pasta!), which helps you feel full and supports digestion. Contains more vitamins and minerals. Easy to find in most supermarkets. - Cons: It does have a slightly nuttier, heartier flavor and a firmer texture compared to white pasta. Some people find this takes a little getting used to. Still contains gluten, so it's not suitable for gluten-free diets. - Best For: Anyone wanting a simple upgrade from white pasta for more fiber and nutrients, without moving too far from the traditional pasta experience. Legume-Based Pastas (Chickpea, Lentil, Bean) These have exploded in popularity, and for good reason! They're made from flours ground from chickpeas, red or green lentils, black beans, or even edamame (soybeans). - Pros: Seriously high in protein and fiber, often double the protein and four times the fiber of regular pasta. This combo keeps you feeling full and satisfied for longer. They are naturally gluten-free. The high fiber and protein may also help manage blood sugar levels better than traditional pasta. - Cons: The taste can be slightly different – some notice a subtle "beany" flavor. Texture can also vary; they can sometimes become mushy or gummy if overcooked, so follow package directions closely. They might be slightly higher in calories than regular pasta, but the added protein and fiber often make them more filling per calorie. - Best For: People aiming for a significant protein and fiber increase, vegetarians and vegans, those eating gluten-free, and individuals looking for better blood sugar management from their pasta dishes. Vegetable Noodles (Zucchini, Spaghetti Squash, etc.) These aren't technically pasta but rather vegetables cleverly cut into noodle-like shapes. Zucchini noodles ("zoodles") made with a spiralizer are very popular. Spaghetti squash naturally separates into strands when cooked. You can also find noodles made from carrots, beets, or sweet potatoes. - Pros: Extremely low in calories and carbohydrates – great for weight management or low-carb diets. They boost your vegetable intake, adding vitamins (like Vitamin C in zucchini), minerals, and antioxidants. Naturally gluten-free and add great color to your plate. - Cons: Much lower in protein and fiber compared to grain or legume pastas, so they won't keep you full for as long on their own. They can release water when cooked, potentially making sauces watery if not handled correctly (patting zoodles dry helps!). The texture is distinctly vegetable-like, not like traditional pasta. - Best For: Low-carb or ketogenic diets, reducing overall calorie intake, sneaking more vegetables into meals, gluten-free eaters. Often best when combined with other pasta types or served with substantial sauces, proteins, or other veggies. Shirataki Noodles (Konjac Noodles) These unique noodles come from the root of the konjac plant, native to Asia. They are translucent, packed in water, and often marketed as "miracle noodles" or "zero-calorie noodles." - Pros: Contain virtually zero digestible calories and carbohydrates. They are primarily composed of glucomannan, a type of soluble fiber known for its ability to absorb water and promote fullness. Naturally gluten-free and suitable for keto diets. - Cons: The texture is a major point of division – it can be quite rubbery or gelatinous, which some people find unappealing. They often have a slight "fishy" odor when opened, which requires thorough rinsing under cold water. The high fiber content can cause digestive issues like bloating or gas for some individuals. They offer very little nutritional value besides fiber. According to the European Food Safety Authority, glucomannan can contribute to weight loss in the context of an energy-restricted diet, but it's crucial to consume it with plenty of water. Some sources also suggest it might interfere with the absorption of certain medications, so check with your doctor if you take regular meds. - Best For: Very strict low-carb/keto diets, individuals needing extremely low-calorie options, gluten-free eaters if they tolerate the unique texture. They absolutely need flavorful sauces and added ingredients (protein, veggies) to become a satisfying meal. Rice Noodles (Brown or White) A staple in many Asian cuisines, these are usually made simply from rice flour and water. - Pros: Naturally gluten-free, making them a safe choice for those with celiac disease or sensitivity. They have a mild flavor that readily absorbs sauces. Brown rice noodles offer more fiber and nutrients than those made from white rice. - Cons: White rice noodles are nutritionally similar to refined white pasta – lower in fiber and protein. Brown rice noodles are a better choice nutritionally but might still lag behind whole-wheat or legume pastas in terms of fiber and protein content. - Best For: Gluten-free diets, Thai or Vietnamese dishes (like Pad Thai or Pho), people who prefer a very neutral noodle flavor. Always opt for brown rice versions when possible for added nutritional benefits. Other Options Worth Mentioning - Soba Noodles: Traditional Japanese noodles made from buckwheat flour. Pure buckwheat soba is gluten-free and has a nutty flavor, plus more fiber and protein than white pasta. Watch out: Many soba noodles contain wheat flour, so always check the label if you need gluten-free. - Quinoa Pasta: Made from quinoa flour, often blended with corn or rice flour to improve texture. Quinoa is a complete protein (containing all nine essential amino acids) and is gluten-free. Nutritional content varies depending on the blend. - Kelp Noodles: Made from seaweed, these are crunchy, translucent noodles that are virtually calorie-free and carb-free. They're a good source of iodine but have a distinct texture that's not very pasta-like.

Comparing Healthy Noodle Options

Seeing the numbers can help clarify the differences. Remember, these are approximate values per standard serving (often around 2 ounces dry or 1 cup cooked) and can vary significantly between brands. Always check the nutrition label on the specific product you buy.

Nutritional data is estimated and varies by brand. Net carbs are total carbs minus fiber.

How to Choose the Right Healthy Noodle

Feeling overwhelmed by choices? Simplify it by focusing on your main goal: - Aiming for Fewer Carbs or Calories? Your top picks are Vegetable Noodles (zucchini, spaghetti squash), Shirataki Noodles, or Kelp Noodles. Another option gaining traction is Palmini (noodles made from hearts of palm), which are also very low-carb. - Need a Protein and Fiber Boost? Legume Pastas (chickpea, lentil, black bean) are the champions here. Whole-Wheat Pasta is also a solid choice for increasing fiber compared to white pasta. - Must Avoid Gluten? You have plenty of options! Legume Pastas, Rice Noodles (brown preferably), Quinoa Pasta, Shirataki Noodles, Kelp Noodles, and Vegetable Noodles are all naturally gluten-free. Crucial tip: Always double-check packaging labels, especially for blends like some soba or quinoa pastas, to ensure they are certified gluten-free and haven't been cross-contaminated. - Just Want More Overall Nutrition Than White Pasta? Whole-Wheat Pasta is an easy and accessible swap. Legume Pastas and Vegetable Noodles also contribute significantly more vitamins, minerals, protein, or fiber. - Craving That Familiar Pasta Taste and Texture? Whole-Wheat Pasta usually comes closest. Some brands of Brown Rice Pasta and Legume Pasta do a good job mimicking traditional texture, but results can vary – reading product reviews can be helpful here! Pro Tip: Don't overcook legume pastas; they tend to get mushy faster than wheat pasta. Ultimately, the best healthy noodle is one you enjoy eating and that fits your lifestyle. Don't be afraid to try a few different kinds to discover your favorites!

Delicious Ways to Prepare Your Healthy Noodle Dish

Choosing a healthy noodle is just the first step. How you dress it up matters just as much! Here’s how to build a truly nutritious and tasty noodle meal: - Sauce Smarts: Cream-laden Alfredo or super cheesy sauces can quickly undo your healthy noodle choice by adding tons of saturated fat and calories. Instead, reach for tomato-based marinara (check for added sugars), vibrant pesto, a simple garlic and olive oil drizzle with herbs, or flavorful Asian-inspired sauces using ingredients like soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free), ginger, and sesame oil. - Veg Out: Don't be shy with the vegetables! Toss in handfuls of spinach, steamed broccoli florets, sautéed mushrooms and onions, colorful bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, or roasted eggplant. Veggies add bulk, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, making your meal more filling and nutritious. - Power Up with Protein: Add a source of lean protein to make your noodle dish a balanced meal that keeps you satisfied. Think grilled chicken breast, baked fish, shrimp, lean ground turkey, tofu, edamame, lentils, or beans. - Read the Instructions! This sounds basic, but different noodles require different cooking times and methods. Shirataki needs thorough rinsing. Veggie noodles cook very quickly and can become soggy if overdone. Legume pastas often cook faster than traditional wheat pasta. Following the package directions yields the best texture. - Try Combo Meals: Not ready to fully commit to veggie noodles? Mix them! Combine half a serving of whole-wheat spaghetti with half a serving of zoodles. You'll cut calories and carbs while adding veggies, but still get some of that familiar pasta satisfaction.

Are Traditional Noodles Ever "Healthy"?

Yes, absolutely! There's no need to completely banish traditional white pasta from your kitchen if you enjoy it. It's all about how it fits into your overall eating pattern. The key concepts are balance and portion control. - Mind Your Portions: A standard serving of cooked pasta according to most dietary guidelines is about one cup, sometimes less. Restaurant portions are often 3-4 times this amount! Measuring your portion helps keep calories and carbs in check. - Build a Balanced Plate: Think of pasta as one component of your meal, not the entire thing. Fill half your plate with non-starchy vegetables (like leafy greens, broccoli, peppers), a quarter with lean protein, and the remaining quarter with your pasta. This approach, recommended by sources like the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health's Healthy Eating Plate, helps balance nutrients and manage blood sugar response. - Choose Whole Grains Often: If you like the taste and texture, opting for whole-wheat pasta most of the time gives you that valuable fiber boost. Remember, labeling foods as strictly "good" or "bad" isn't usually helpful. Enjoying your favorite foods in moderation, as part of a varied and balanced diet, is a sustainable approach to healthy eating.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Got more questions about healthy noodles? Let's clear them up! What is the absolute healthiest noodle? There isn't one single "healthiest" noodle because it depends entirely on your individual health goals and dietary needs. - For overall nutrient density including fiber with a familiar pasta feel, whole-wheat pasta is a strong contender. - For the highest protein and fiber content, especially beneficial for satiety and blood sugar management (and if gluten-free), legume pastas (like chickpea or red lentil) often come out on top. - For the lowest calories and carbohydrates, vegetable noodles (zucchini, spaghetti squash) or shirataki noodles are the winners, though they provide less protein and other nutrients. Are egg noodles healthier than regular pasta? Traditional egg noodles and regular white pasta are nutritionally quite similar. Both are typically made from refined white flour. The eggs in egg noodles add a small amount of extra protein and fat, sometimes cholesterol, but they generally don't offer significantly more fiber or micronutrients than standard white pasta unless they are specifically made with whole wheat flour. Whole-wheat pasta remains a better source of fiber compared to most standard egg noodles or white pasta. What pasta has the lowest carbs? Shirataki noodles are the undisputed champions here, containing virtually zero net carbohydrates (digestible carbs). Vegetable noodles like zucchini noodles ("zoodles"), spaghetti squash strands, and kelp noodles are also extremely low in carbs. Hearts of Palm noodles (e.g., Palmini) are another excellent very low-carb alternative. Is chickpea pasta really healthier? Compared to traditional white pasta, chickpea pasta offers significant advantages, primarily its much higher content of plant-based protein and dietary fiber. This combination makes it more filling, slower to digest, and generally better for blood sugar control. It's also naturally gluten-free. Therefore, for individuals seeking these specific benefits (more protein, more fiber, gluten-free), chickpea pasta is often considered a healthier choice. Can I eat noodles and still lose weight? Absolutely! Weight management boils down to your overall calorie intake versus expenditure. You can definitely include noodles (of any variety) in a weight-loss eating plan by being mindful: - Control Your Portions: Stick to appropriate serving sizes (check labels, often around 1 cup cooked). - Choose Filling Options: Noodles higher in fiber and protein (like whole-wheat or legume pastas) can help you feel fuller for longer on fewer calories. - Bulk Up with Veggies: Adding lots of low-calorie vegetables increases the volume of your meal without significantly increasing calories. - Select Lighter Sauces: Opt for tomato-based, broth-based, or veggie-packed sauces over heavy cream or cheese sauces. - Include Lean Protein: Protein further enhances satiety, helping you feel satisfied after your meal. What are the noodles with lowest calories? Shirataki noodles boast the lowest calorie count, often having fewer than 20 calories per serving. Read the full article

Do yoga exercises every day. Improves athletic performance; prevents injury Body Composition Percentages of fat, muscle, and bone in the body Measured using various tools and technologies Keep track of progress in a diet and exercise program; determine overall health based on body volume indexes Part Two: Critique a Meal 1. What is the name of the recipe you are evaluating? The recipe is for Carne Guisada, a south Texan dish that is like a spicy beef stew. The ingredients are as follows, for a six-serving meal. 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 2 pounds beef sirloin, cut into 1/2-inch cubes 1 large onion, chopped 1 large red bell pepper, chopped 4 large tomatoes, chopped 5 cloves garlic, minced 2 tablespoons ground cumin 1 teaspoon dried, crushed Mexican oregano 1 tablespoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper 1/2 teaspoon paprika 1/3 cup water 2. Which essential nutrients -- carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, and minerals -- are included in the recipe? Carbohydrates: Total Carbohydrate 13.7 g; Dietary Fiber 2.7 g; Sugars 0.4 g Fats: 15.4g total; 5.1 saturated fat; .9 polyunsaturated fat; 7.2 monounsaturated fat Proteins: 48.5g Vitamins and Minerals with percentages of daily requirements: Vitamin A 17.2% Vitamin B-12 71.8% Vitamin B-6 48.8% Vitamin C Vitamin D Vitamin E Calcium Copper 20.6% Folate 11.9% Iron 42.2% Magnesium 19.7% Manganese 22.7% Niacin 38.5% Pantothenic Acid 10.0% Phosphorus 43.8% Riboflavin 30.9% Selenium 74.1% Thiamin 21.2% Zinc 68.8% 3. Which ingredients are providing each nutrient? The beef provides the bulk of the protein and fat in this recipe, as there are no other meat products and only a small bit of oil for the initial saute. The few vegetables included in the recipe including bell pepper and onion do provide some vitamins, such as vitamins A, C, and E. However, in this case the beef provides most including the B. vitamins and more minerals including iron, copper, and zinc. Of course, the salt is providing the sodium content. 4. Does this recipe include a good balance of essential nutrients? Explain your answer. This meal is heavy in saturated fat and protein, due to its containing mostly beer. At the same time, the recipe does provide a reasonably good balance of essential nutrients. Beef, for all its saturated fat and cholesterol heaviness, is also a concentrated source of the minerals and vitamins the body needs. The levels of vitamins and minerals in this meal are good also because there are some vegetables. Because of the high fat and protein, Carne Guisada should be eaten in moderation. 5. How could the recipe be altered to include more essential nutrients? More vegetables, including leafy green vegetables, should be included to make this a more balanced meal containing more essential nutrients. This might mean making Carne Guisada as a side dish accompanied by a range of other tasty side dishes that offer more variation in nutritional content. For example, the dish could be served with salads or cooked vegetables of various colors -- orange vegetables offer vitamin A, and green vegetables offer a range of minerals that can complete this meal nutritionally. Similarly, the addition of a side dish of brown rice or other whole grain would boost the fiber content and make the meal more nutritious. 6. Do you consider this a healthy meal? If not, what is a healthy alternative? This is a healthy meal only if eaten in small portion and in moderation. I would say that Carne Guisada and similar beef-centric dishes can be used as side dishes rather than the main meal to allow for a more balanced intake of nutritional elements. Vegetable dishes provide a lot of the same vitamins, but without the saturated fat and cholesterol. Also, it is worth noting that a healthy alternative can be made without beef, using a vegetarian protein source such as kidney bean and tempeh. Part Three: Nutrition Questions 1. Do you find it easy or difficult to determine the nutritional value of food? What are some methods to help you more easily determine the nutritional values of food? I find it relatively easy to loosely determine the nutritional value of food without the use of a reference guide or technological tool because I am familiar already with what each food has to offer in terms of their general proportions of protein, fat, carbohydrate, fiber, and vitamins. For example, I know that beef has a lot of protein, saturated fat, cholesterol, and B-vitamins as well as iron and other minerals. I also know that orange vegetables have a lot of vitamin A and that dairy milk contains calcium. However, the online tools help determine the exact quantities of these nutritional elements. There are also iPhone and iPad apps that can be helpful shopping aids when looking for foods or substitutes for foods in menu planning. For foods that I am not familiar with, these tools can be very helpful when trying to find substitutes for items that are unhealthy. 2. What environmental, economic, and psychosocial factors influenced your food and drink choices today? My food and drink choices are usually made with a number of factors in mind including expediency, price/value, concern for ethics and environment, and concern for nutrition. Making something fast should not necessarily mean relying on pre-packed foods, so I am trying to make quick snacks and meals that are not fast food or processed. I am trying to cut down on my intake of animal products, but do not want to become a vegetarian. Therefore, I am looking into ways to eat more vegetables and vegetarian protein. I have been making more recipes that include beans and whole grains as well as dark leafy greens. Because of my concern for reducing reliance on factory farming, I am investing more in organic foods and meats.
