What does your refrigerator say about you? by Elizabeth Brown, MS, RD

Thought for Food We all know the saying about “Food for Thought” which means anything that provides mental stimulus. But how many of us really think about our food? Not only that, but how many of us think about how our food is reflective of our personalities, our successes and failures or better yet, our…

Fizzy drinks do more than make you BURP! by Elizabeth Brown, MS, RD

Drink this for more intelligence! This past week was Fruit and Veggie Week. International Splurge Day was June 18th which is the same day as International Panic Day. If you splurged on fruit and veggies this week, then you have no need to panic. If you splurged on less “healthful” options, then hopefully you recognized…

Mmmm, Fermented Foods! by Elizabeth Brown, MS, RD

Eat a BUG! Last week we explored some of the rationale for probiotics, something people often take in supplement form after ingesting antibiotics. Interestingly, probiotics means “for life” and antibiotics means “against life.” Since probiotic (good bacteria) research is fairly new and since not all good bacteria have been thoroughly studied, it is unlikely that…

Friendly Gut Bugs by Elizabeth Brown, MS, RD

Probiotics for the health of it!

Just the Flax Ma’am by Elizabeth Brown, MS, RD

The Facts on FlaxWhen humans were hunter-gatherers, death from chronic disease was unheard of partly because their diets were equally rich in omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids. Today Americans consume a diet that on average contains 17 grams of omega-6 for every one gram of omega-3 fatty acids. In Japan, residents consume a diet that…

Give thanks for the Cranberry by Elizabeth Brown, MS, RD

Thank you cranberries, for all you do As Thanksgiving approaches, we will soon be sitting down with loved ones to reflect on the goodness this past year has brought us.

Beans, beans are good for your heart…by Elizabeth Brown, MS, Rd

Be all you can beans “Beans, beans are good for your heart…” We know beans are a healthy food but difficult to digest. Why are they troublesome, and how can we make things better? During a recent visit to Texas, I was inspired to make chili—the national dish of Texas. They even have chili cook-offs….

The purveyor of food facts and fantasies, the dispeller of nutrition myths and misconceptions, The Kitchen Vixen is on a mission to save the world--one disease fighting recipe at a time. The science of nutrition is a mere 200 years old, The Kitchen Vixen, slightly younger. Twenty years ago, while working as a personal trainer, The Kitchen Vixen found that she could help clients move their bodies but she didn't know what to tell them to eat to fuel their bodies. Fraught with confusion and misinformation, The Kitchen Vixen set out to set things straight. Then and there she decided to study the science of nutrition. Amassed with degrees and credentials from Western and Eastern sciences and philosophies, The Kitchen Vixen is still a student of her own body and a teacher for the masses. Join her each week as she shows you what to eat to fuel your body while teaching you why and how these ingredients work. The Kitchen Vixen is "IN", here to give you the recipes for success; for life.
