Daily 5 By Tricia Williams
The Daily Five is your dose of healthy inspiration for the week from our favorite experts and thought leaders in the fields of nutrition, functional medicine, fitness and more! Starting with our founder @itstriciawilliams – we are talking foods you can use for common aliments:
1. Kudzu Root: Anxiety
This root is commonly use as a pie thickener in the US. It can have a calming effect on the body. Daily Dose customers often refer the kudzu turmeric pudding we make as Xanax pudding.
2. Tart Cherry Extract: Sports Recovery
Either in season or frozen, cherries are high in quercetin, a flavonoid that reduces inflammation. Can’t find cherries, look for tart cherry extract. Enjoy it by the spoonful or mix it with sparkling water for a cherry soda!
3. Black Seed Oil: Inflammation
Black seed oil made from nigella seeds, is three times more anti-inflammatory than turmeric.
4. Sea Salt: Acid Reflux
Add your favorite mineral rich sea salt to a glass of water and say good bye to your acid reflux.
5. Ceylon Cinnamon: Regulate Blood Sugar
Add cinnamon as part of your regular diet to help regulate blood sugar. Studies show that 1-6 grams a day may help regulate blood sugar.

Summertime Cleanup: Daily Detox Practices From our Friends at Next | Health
Our bodies are in constant detoxification mode. The liver is the body’s hub for detoxification and filters nearly 380 liters of blood every day to remove toxins, bacteria, fungi, viruses, parasites, and other potentially harmful substances from the body.
The Daily Five by Dr. Kara Fitzgerald
Here are five DNA methylation superstars that you can easily add to your plate to ward off chronic disease and slow down aging. They’re anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and in many cases, antiviral. Some of them are both methyl donor and DNA methylation adaptogens (especially cruciferous vegetables), meaning they offer DOUBLE the benefits to bio age.
What to Know Before You Start Intermittent Fasting
I know people get fed up with seemingly, ever-changing nutrition advice but when it comes to intermittent fasting, this isn’t new. If anything, eating around the clock is new and definitely not healthy. You may already know that when we sleep, our body heals and regenerates. Think of digestive rest in the same way. Time without calories allows your body to heal and repair. It counters inflammation, cancer, and weight gain.
