PRO TIPS
I found this sauce in Wolfgang Puck’s ” Make It Healthy” cookbook. He calls it “Low Fat Green Goddess Dressing.” I created my own version by switching out ingredients. This dish can be a little tart because of the yogurt and lemon juice. Make sure to taste as you go. The salt and avocado will all balance to the tartness. Overall, I love my version. It’s very light and clean tasting. This sauce works well with seafood.

Pro Tip
I give creative credit to Lauren Miyashiro. I loved eating this! The flavor was very close to real potato salad. The difference is the veggie crispness. Remember, the dish is comprised of mostly vegetables. Be careful of the water content. I would make 1 improvement. Next time, I will add more eggs to deepen the flavor.

Stress is a principal offender when it comes to your health. When you eat, your autonomic nervous system unconsciously regulates bodily functions. Another part of your autonomic nervous system switches on when you are stressed. The sympathetic nervous system is responsible for the ‘fight and flight’ response. Eating healthy can be challenging to maintain during stressful times. Stress wears us down and interferes with the digestive process. Weight gain during stressful times may be partly due to the body’s hormonal checks and balances system. Cortisol is typically secreted by the adrenal glands in a pattern called a diurnal variation, meaning that the bloodstream’s cortisol levels vary depending upon the time of day. Most of the time, cortisol levels are highest in the early morning and lowest around midnight. Does cortisol stimulate insulin release? Yes. The result is an increase in appetite and stress. This disruption may not only promote weight gain but may also affect where you put on the weight. Some studies have shown that stress and elevated cortisol tend to cause fat deposition in the abdominal area rather than in the hips. Whether or not a person’s stress levels will result in high cortisol levels and weight gain is not predictable. The amount of cortisol secreted in response to stress varies among individuals, with some persons being innately more ‘reactive’ to stressful events. Studies of women who tended to react to stress with higher cortisol secretion levels showed some women ate more when under stress than women who secreted less cortisol. These women who stored their excess fat in the abdominal area had higher cortisol levels. The research reported more lifestyle stress for women who stored fat in their hips. A method for lowering cortisol levels that have risen in response to stress is exercise. Exercise benefits the burning of calories. Skipping caffeine, listening to relaxing music, and hanging out with funny and positive people will also help you lower your cortisol levels, say some experts. Drinking tea is a great tool to help you achieve incredible changes in your body and life too. AWE is creating a tea that will reduce stress, and we firmly believe that everyday people can achieve ZEN with the right mind-set and food.

Most of you probably know how to make a decent cup of tea. You may be surprised to find out that drinking tea is an art form. There are several essential components for tea making, including the temperature, the brewing time, and even the tea ware you serve it in.
Make Tea That Resonates With You?
Start with fresh water. You need to make sure you fill the kettle with fresh, cold water. Avoid re-boiling.
Make Tea at The Right Temperature
The temperature of your water is essential to the making of a good cup of tea. The temperature depends on what tea you’re making. For a black tea, you’re looking at around 95ºC-98ºC; for green/delicate teas, it’s slightly lower with 80ºC-85ºC. Teas release their flavor compounds at different temperatures.
If you are a perfectionist, then use a thermometer. A tip! For green teas and infusions, let the water cool down for 4-5 mins. For black teas, pour directly, but a minute to cool down won’t do any harm.
Brew Tea at The Right Timing
If you ignore the suggested brewing time for most teas, then the flavor isn’t optimized. Read the instructions to enjoy the full bloom of the tea.
Use The Right Accessories !
It’s all about you! What is your vibe? What are your true loves? Some say porcelain should be your go-to because porcelain holds the integrity of the tea in place. Expert says to stay clear from using clay-based crockery because clay materials tend to taint tea flavors, especially if the clay isn’t well glazed.
The point when drinking tea is to connect with the tea and it with you! Click on the link below to purchase accessories.
