But I’m not one of those vegans, so I avoid calling myself vegan at all. If someone directly asks if I’m a vegan, I squirm and pull a Beyonce: “I guess I’d call myself a modern-day vegan. I don’t eat animal products, but I’m not an extremist….” But in doing this, am I reinforcing negative vegan stereotypes? More
Papayas seem like they are one of the lesser-loved tropical fruits. Mangoes are popular, bananas are ubiquitous and even guavas are more common than the papaya. Maybe it’s because they’re not as readily available in most areas of the US (and so are hard to find when fresh), people don’t quite know how to prepare them.

Here are our tips for a healthier grilled cheese! More
Believe it or not, inflammation plays a role in everything from digestive disorders and allergies to arthritis and belly fat. Why? Because the fat-burning pathways in our liver and muscle cells are controlled by a group of proteins called PPARs, which influence the interaction between our insulin sensitivity, inflammation and weight. A PPAR imbalance can contribute to inflammation, obesity and insulin resistance—which is is why optimizing the power of our PPARs can be highly beneficial for weight loss or maintenance.
