Answer 3

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://bitly.im/aMCJS

The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true

Answer 4

Thai noodle salad

Cook some rice stick noodles (flat kind, like linguini) until they are al dente, then drain, rinse with cold water to stop the cooking, drain well and coat with the following dressing and serve chilled or at room temp:

1 part dark sesame oil
2 parts dark soy sauce
1 part peanut butter

Toss with some sliced green onions, snow pea pods, chopped cilantro, chopped roasted peanuts, sliced radishes, diced jicama, or whatever crunchy vegetables you have around. Fresh green beans, bits of raw brocoli, cooked peeled shrimp or slivers of leftover broiled or baked fish, beef or pork . . . it's very versatile!
