artichoke, a large thistle that has been found to improve liver function and digestive disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome.\u00a0 It is also known to improve cholesterol levels by increasing HDL (good cholesterol) and decreasing LDL (bad cholesterol). \u00a0Artichokes are packed with antioxidants and rank number 7 on the USDA&#8217;s top 20 antioxidant-rich foods list, and contain about one fourth of the average adult\u2019s daily fiber recommendation. \u00a0If artichokes aren\u2019t popular in your home, go ahead and start today to indulge in all of the excellent health benefits that they offer.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/fitness\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/83311998.jpg\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  class=\"size-full

fruits. \u00a0They are loaded with 20 types of anthocyanins (groups of potent antioxidants called flavonoids that give blueberries their blue-violet color).\u00a0 With natural pain relieving and joint-healing components, they can help reduce arthritis related inflammation. \u00a0These antioxidants have also been shown to increase signals among brain cells, enhancing learning and memory. \u00a0Go ahead and pile blueberries on top of low-fat Greek yogurt, or steel cut oats for a fresh taste and great health benefits.<\/p>\n<p><a

source of fiber, vitamins A, C, E, and K, some of which are antioxidants that battle free radicals in the body. \u00a0Asparagus also contains B vitamin folate, which is important in synthesizing the neurotransmitters serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. \u00a0In purchasing the freshest asparagus look for thickness, bunches with tightly closed tips, and no flowering (bright green and firm for green asparagus, or pale ivory for white asparagus). \u00a0Lightly saut\u00e9 in olive oil and garlic, grill or roast for a fresh and healthy taste. \u00a0I would love to share one of my favorite asparagus recipes with you.<\/p>\n<p>Asparagus with Lemon:<\/p>\n<p>Ingredients:<\/p>\n<p>2 bunches of asparagus, tough ends trimmed<\/p>\n<p>2 lemons, thinly sliced<\/p>\n<p>2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil<\/p>\n<p>4 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano or 1 teaspoon dried<\/p>\n<p>1\/4 teaspoon salt<\/p>\n<p>1\/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper<\/p>\n<p>Preparation:<\/p>\n<p>Preheat oven to 450\u00b0F.<\/p>\n<p>Toss asparagus, lemon slices, oil, oregano, salt and pepper on a large rimmed baking sheet. Roast, shaking the pan occasionally to toss until the asparagus is tender-crisp, 13 to 15 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Spring&#8230;what an exciting time of the year! \u00a0It\u2019s the beginning of new creations. \u00a0You may now notice the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":4797,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[64],"tags":[145,147,146,143,95,115,148,99,113,144],"class_list":{"0":"post-4796","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nutrition","8":"tag-artichoke","9":"tag-asparagus","10":"tag-blueberries","11":"tag-fruits","12":"tag-health","13":"tag-healthy","14":"tag-mountainside-fitness","15":"tag-nutrition-2","16":"tag-spring","17":"tag-veggies","18":"cs-entry","19":"cs-video-wrap"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>It&#039;s Springtime: Eat Seasonally<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Spring...what an exciting time of the year!
