Lemon Green Beans with Toasted Almonds: Start by trimming and washing 1 pound of green beans. Toast 1/3 cup of raw almond slices in 1 tablespoon of olive oil until golden brown, then set them aside. In the same skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and add the green beans, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook for 5 to 10 minutes until they’re bright green and tender yet slightly crunchy. Squeeze fresh lemon juice (2 tablespoons) over the beans and cook for 30 seconds. Turn off the heat, toss in the toasted almonds, and serve immediately for a flavorful side dish.

Reducing Cognitive Decline
Hearing involves both your ears and the brain, so it’s no wonder that hearing loss can go hand in hand with thinking and memory problems. Studies are increasingly linking hearing loss to issues such as faster brain shrinkage, earlier onset of significant cognitive impairment, and up to a quintupled risk of dementia. However, addressing conditions such as hearing loss could help prevent a third of dementia cases worldwide, per a UK research collaborative. With hearing health and overall wellness so connected, seeking regular hearing checks and addressing listening difficulties early is important.
Maintaining Optimal Breast Health
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and these tips can help you support optimal breast health every day. 1) Diet and Lifestyle. Avoid plastics and caffeine, due to their phytoestrogenic effect. Increase veggies, fatty fish, herbs, and fibre; decrease meat, refined grains, and conventional vegetable oils. 2) Toxin Removal. Try lymphatic breast massage, sweating through exercise/sauna/etc., and dry skin brushing to remove toxins from fatty breast tissue. 3) Assessment. Thermal imaging is a great assessment tool to monitor for breast changes over time. 4) Hormone Optimization.

Inflammation: Good, Bad, or Both?
Inflammation is a crucial aspect of the body’s healing process, wherein inflammatory cells journey to injury sites, prompting recovery. Yet, chronic inflammation signs can be elusive – examples include abdominal and chest pain, fatigue, fever, joint discomfort, and stiffness (like in rheumatoid arthritis), as well as mouth sores and skin rashes (as in psoriasis). Turmeric presents a natural solution for pain and inflammation. Notably, curcumin, an extract of turmeric, is renowned for its potent anti-inflammatory properties, effectively alleviating pain, and dampening inflammation. Regarded as one of the most robust botanical anti-inflammatories, Good Habits Market takes pride in offering prime curcumin varieties, available as liposomal soft gels, or liquid.
