    Are All Rices Created Equal?

    While looking at the macros of different kinds of rice, they are pretty much the same, for what I can see. Where the real difference comes in is the micronutrients such as the fiber and how it ranks on the glycemic index. I don’t know much about the glycemic index but in a nutshell it ranks carbohydrates from 0-100 base on the extent they raise your blood sugar (glucose) levels after consuming. The higher the number the faster the faster the carbohydrates absorbed, metabolized, fluctuation in blood sugar levels.

    Warm Lemon Water

    In late August I found a YouTube Channel Simnett Nutrition and he discussed the benefits of drinking warm lemon water to start his day on an empty stomach. He used it to detoxify his system and help balance out his body’s pH Levels. And that spoke right to me. I drink a lot of coffee and I try to balance out the coffee with Alkaline water but I didn’t think it was enough. I’m a firm believer if you start your day right you are more likely to seize the day. So I thought why not give it a go, I was told also it was a nice alternative to coffee a more natural energy booster so to me this sounded perfect (it did not give me energy). My system does feel less toxic and I believe is a nice balance to the coffee I consume. But if you add Matcha to your warm lemon water there is a natural source of energy and that does work for a pick me up.
