More About Apples

Last time we talked about nutrition and other interesting facts about apples (see "Quick Fall Favorite Fruit Facts: Apples'" if you missed it). This time, we’re going to look at the different varieties of apples and how you can use those different varieties. As we saw last time, there are many different types of apples, so we’ll just look at the most common ones for now.


Now that we know more about different types of apples, we’re going to look at some ideas for different types of recipes along with links to the recipes if you see one you’d like to try.

Savory:
• Apple Tuna Salad
• Caramelized Apple Cheddar Melts
• Rosemary Caramelized Onion, Honeycrisp, and Brie Flatbread

Sweet:
• Three Apple Pie
• Baked Apples with Oatmeal Filling
• Vegan Apple Pie Bread (my personal favorite)

Whether you go to your local apple orchard, fruit stand, or market, take a trip to pick apples this fall. Find your favorite and experiment with different recipes! Also check out the “Fall Aromatherapy DIY” post on our blog for a different use for your apples!

With so many conflicting stories out there, it’s difficult to separate the facts from the fiction. Not to mention, the types of sugars are endless. How do we know what’s best for our bodies? White or brown sugar? Cane or raw? Should we just go with Stevia instead? Is it even okay to consume artificial sweeteners? Should we avoid foods with high amounts of natural sugar in them? Each answer only seems to lead to another question!  Let’s start off with distinguishing the purpose of sugar in the first place. Do our bodies even need it? The short answer is yes! Sugars are carbohydrates (what we commonly call “carbs”), one of the three main macronutrients that our bodies need for fuel to function and survive.

What should i eat before and after a workout? First things first…carbohydrates, proteins and fats are important for the body before  and after exercise.

Fats and carbohydrates are the two major fuel sources during exercise. Fats must be translocated and broken down from their storage form before they are used. Typically there is enough carbohydrate stored as muscle glycogen for exercise but as muscle glycogen stores decline, the skeletal muscle will then use some amino acids (basic components of all protein). More specifically, the amino acid leucine is used for energy.              It is important to consume an adequate amount of carbohydrates exercise to delay fatigue and minimize gastrointestinal distress. It is also important to consume enough fluids to prevent hypohydration. Now, lets talk about pre-exercise me
