Do you wash your hands often? What brand of hand soap do you use? There’s been a nationwide (US) recall of a range of (mostly antibacterial) hand soaps, on account of them containing a potentially deadly bacterial infectious agent, which is serious as it is ironic.

Stress is a many-headed beast (distraction, fatigue, low mood, etc), so which should you tackle first?

Today’s sponsor’s name contains the answer: First Holistic Wellness! Instead of treating stress in parts (one supplement for focus, another for energy, and a third for mood), they merged 6 ingredients that are usually prescribed individually. This one combined supplement tackles the whole many-headed beast at once—bringing you peaceful, natural, calm alertness.

Think back to the last time you were stressed.

You probably felt bad in a whole stack of ways; the stress, anxiety, tiredness, distractibility, irritability perhaps, low mood for sure, and we’re willing to bet secondary effects were starting to creep in, e.g. stress-induced headaches, nausea or eating too much or too little, perhaps employing coping mechanisms that weren’t that healthy.

It almost certainly wasn’t a case of merely “need to calm down”.

So when stress touches so many parts of life, shouldn’t the solution do the same?

First Holistic Wellness think it should—and we at 10almonds agree. Their ZenAdren supplement is a combination of 6 well-studied ingredients, to do much better than being just a “chill pill”, and instead, addressing each of the parts of the body’s stress response simultaneously:

If that sounds like an improvement to you, then you can try ZenAdren with all the peace of mind of a 45-day money-back guarantee. Bring your life into balance; it’s never been easier:

Yesterday we asked you to choose between chickpeas and red lentils—both excellent options and it was close, but there was a winner and we picked the chickpeas (click here to read about why), as 55% of you!

Now for today’s choice:

The author, a classically trained Mexican chef, adopted a plant-based diet for health reasons, and was concerned she’d have to forego many of her favorite dishes.

However! When it comes down to it, most of the flavor in most dishes comes from the plants (especially but not only: the spices and herbs), and when it comes to meat and dairy, that’s mostly for the texture.

So, she set about veganizing her recipes, keeping all the flavor while changing some of of the texture-giving components. Where once there was cow cheese, now there’s almond cheese. Where once there was animal cream, same deal. Meat, meanwhile, is replaced with rich, fibrous plants with all the same seasonings. Healthy oils add fats that used to be heavily saturated animal fats.

In short, the experience has been kept the same or made tastier, and the health profile has been considerably improved.

Is it perfect, healthwise? Many recipes are! Some aren’t (see for example, those with fried corn tortillas involved, or an ice cream dish that still has its sugar content, etc), but overall, this is an incredibly healthy book of authentic Mexican vegan cooking.

Bottom line: if you like Mexican food and also like looking after your health, you’ll want a copy of this book.
