👨‍🍳 The Best Way To Store Fruit 🍌 Bananas: On the counter wrapped with foil like this, because it helps to stop the release of ethylene gas so the fruit ripens slower and more evenly. 🫐 Blueberries- Rinse them, dry them and place them in an airtight container in single layers with a paper towel between each layer. This will ensure you minimize moisture buildup as best as possible. 🍇 Grapes- Soak them for 2 minutes in vinegar, then allow them to dry and store them in an airtight container lined with paper towels in the fridge. 🍅 Tomatoes- On the counter upside down, so it creates a small barrier against the oxygen, slowing down the potential growth of mold. 🍎 Apple slices- Soaking them in a salt water brine for 10 minutes, then drain the water out, rinse them and store in an airtight container in the fridge. 🥒 Cucumbers- In a sealed bag with a metal spoon on the top shelf of your fridge, because the spoon helps to alleviate changes in temperature. #fruits #fruit #mealprep #health

💊 Vitamin and Mineral Deficiencies 👉 These are just some the common deficiencies we see and some of the common symptoms. Zinc- One of the signs of zinc deficiency and even calcium deficiency is the white marks in your nails and 🦪 oysters have the highest amount of zinc compared to any food. Vitamin A- Night blindness is one of the first signs of vitamin A deficiency, especially if you used to see just fine in the dark. 🍠 Sweet potatoes are one of the largest sources of beta-carotene which converts to Vitamin A. Vitamin B12- One primary symptom of B12 deficiency is fatigue at all times of the day. 🥩 Red meat is very high in vitamin b12 and this exclusively comes in animal based foods. Magneisum- Low levels of magnesium in the body can increase stress and proper amounts can help to manage your stress response system. 🎃 Pumpkin seeds are one of the highest sources of magnesium. Vitamin D- Vitamin D bolsters the immune system. If you’re constantly getting sick with even minor infections this could be why. Sunlight is best here, but some foods like 🍣 salmon can help as well. #foods #healthyfoods #vitamins #minerals

😴 Sleep Hacks 👉 Do you have problems sleeping? 🥶 Your body needs to cool down between 1-3 degrees at night, so setting your temperature a little on the colder side means you should fall asleep easier. 🛌 The Scandinavian Sleep Method involves using 2 smaller comforters instead of 1, so you can achieve a bit more personalization with your sleep and for less sleep disruption. 🌘 The darker you make the room, the more melatonin you can secrete, meaning the ability to achieve deeper sleep. 🏮 Red light has less of an impact on alertness and wakefulness than blue forms of light, so having a small light, that is red, that is not overhead means you should not completely wake up when going to the bathroom and thus you should pass back out fairly quickly after! #sleep #health #wellness
