Headaches are very common and almost every person suffers from some type of headaches from time to time. Also, anxiety is a common mental health issue as well.

These problems are treated with various medications, but these often fail to deliver a positive outcome and bring about numerous adverse side- effects.

Lavender lemonade is one of the most delicious natural ways to treat headaches and anxiety.

If you spice up your lemonade with lavender, you will enjoy its medicinal properties and its pleasant aroma that relaxes the senses. You can use the flower or lavender oil, which is an extremely healthy essential oil. It is potent but gentle, so people who have tried it love it!

Its chemically complex structure consists of more than 150 active constituents. It has powerful antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antidepressant, antiseptic, detoxifying, analgesic, antimicrobial, antispasmodic, hypotensive, and sedative properties.

A study conducted in Florida has shown that lavender oil soothes anxiety and lowers pulse rates in nursing students before taking stressful tests.

Moreover, in hospital settings, lavender aromatherapy has been found to lower pre-surgery distress and to be even more calming than a massage.

Lavender essential oil helps in the case of insomnia, labor pains, hangovers, sinus congestion, and depression.
"Much prior research on lavender has focused on the administration of lavender via an olfactory route. The anxiolytic activity of lavender olfaction has been demonstrated in several small and medium-sized clinical trials. The efficacy of aromatherapy of lavender is thought to be due to the psychological effects of the fragrance combined with physiological effects of volatile oils in the limbic system."
Due to these calming effects, lavender has been traditionally used for centuries.
The following examples contain findings from clinical trials on lavender aromatherapy:
1. Lavender aromatherapy, with or without massage, lowers the perception of pain and the need for conventional analgesics in adults and children.

2. People who were receiving lavender oil (10%) olfaction for 3 minutes felt greatly more relaxed and their anxiety levels were lowered, their mood improved, and their scores of alpha power on EEG (an indicator of alertness), and speed of mathematical calculations were enhanced.

3. Studies have shown that lavender oil aromatherapy has anxiolytic activity in patients in intensive care units. Patients were given at least 1 session of aromatherapy with 1% lavender essential oil.

In the first treatment, researchers noticed significant anxiolytic effects. Yet, it was not that effective in the following two treatments.

4. A study of lavender oil in burner use on staff mood and stress in a hospital setting found that 85% of respondents believed that lavender aroma improved the work environment.

5. Studies have also shown that people claim that the aroma of lavender is very pleasant and is linked to changes in the autonomic nervous system.

A study which involved the effects of aromatherapy with lavender oil effects on depressed mood and anxiety in female patients treated with chronic hemodialysis.

They estimated the effects of aromatherapy using the Hamilton rating scale for depression (HAMD) and the Hamilton rating scale for anxiety (HAMA). Lavender aroma significantly reduced the mean scores of HAMA.

Here is how to prepare the lavender lemonade and enjoy its taste and health benefits:

Ingredients

1/4 cup dried lavender. dried, organic culinary lavender ( or 1 drop lavender essential oil)

6 lemons, peeled and juiced

1 cup raw honey

5 cups pure water

Lavender sprigs for garnish

Instructions:

Boil half of the water in a pan, and then remove it from heat. Add the honey and the dried lavender. Leave it to steep for 20 minutes, strain, and pour it into a larger container.

Next, add the lemon juice and the rest of the water, and stir. Keep the lemonade in the fridge.

You can use lavender in other ways and improve your health as well:

Add 2 drops of Lavender per ounce of your favorite unrefined organic oil, and prepare a natural body oil which will relax your mind, keep insects at bay, help you sleep better, and improve your skin.

Add 5 to 6 drops of lavender essential oil to your bath water and hydrate your dry skin.

To naturally relieve stress, diffuse 10-12 drops of lavender into the air.

Pineapple Coconut Mojito: the classic mint mojito is remixed with another tropical favorite, the piña colada, to create a new ultimate Summer rum cocktail!

These Pineapple Coconut Mojitos are so gorgeous and really make happy hour happy!! I am so very excited to be sharing this new drink with y'all.

My favorite cocktails are rum based cocktails. Most people seem to go for a margarita or a vodka something or another. While I enjoy a good margarita from time to time (on the rocks with salt please!), I am loyal to rum 99% of the time.

I was looking for a jar of pineapple juice last week (to make my favorite Boozy Piña Colada No Bake Pie) and I came across a jar of pineapple coconut juice. It was on sale, so I went ahead and picked it up.

I loved it so much, I decided to use it to combine my two favorite cocktails, a piña colada and a mojito, into one grand cocktail - a Pineapple Coconut Mojito!

P.S. If you are a pineapple & coconut lover, you MUST try this Twinkie, Pineapple & Coconut Cake this Summer. I know it sounds crazy, but it is SO dang good!

Usually when I make a mojito, I add a little sugar or simple syrup to the glass. However, with the already naturally sweet pineapple coconut juice, it's one less ingredient you need.

If you are not a fan of coconut, you can use straight pineapple juice. Also, if you like your cocktails to be lightly flavored, you can use half juice and half club soda.

Don't skip the honey and toasted coconut rim! It's as festive as it is tasty!

This Pineapple Coconut Mojito is the perfect Summer cocktail to enjoy as you sit on the porch watching your kids run wild...while pretending they belong to the neighbor. 😉

Make a single glass or an entire pitcher by quadrupling the recipe. Either way, it's going to be a delicious happy hour! Cheers, friends!

Steve Sisskind, M.D.'s secrets to boosting energy, reducing joint pain and fighting aging:

1. Eat plenty of high antioxidant superfoods. Powerful fruits, including blueberries, blackberries and kiwi, contain potent phytochemicals and key micronutrients that help increase energy, fight aging and boost metabolism.

2. Get plenty of Omega 3 fatty acids. Eating fish or taking a high quality Omega 3 Supplement helps regulate metabolism and boost oxygen intake, thus increasing energy.

3. Consume plenty of Magnesium rich foods. Magnesium is responsible for over 300 enzymatic processes that help keep you energized and healthy. If you're deficient in Magnesium, that's over 300 processes your body can't do! Eat plenty of Spinach, Chard and Pumpkin seeds to get a daily dose of Magnesium.

4. Boost polyphenol intake. The powerful health benefits of fruit come from polyphenols. These micronutrients found in plants boost metabolism, energy, reduce fatigue, support youthful skin, improve digestion, fight aging and support the immune system.

5. Reduce sugar consumption. While the polyphenol content in fruits can help you achieve many health benefits, the sugar/fructose content can make you gain weight. Fruits are full of sugars that can override the weight loss and other health benefits of polyphenols. Eating massive amounts of fruit to get the necessary polyphenols can have many negative health consequences.

At RealDose Nutrition, I spent years developing a solution to give people the powerful benefits of polyhpenols without the added sugar and weight gain of fruits. My new premium polyphenol supplement called RealReds, is a unique powder blend of the world's most exotic and clinically studied fruit extracts.

If you are one of the millions of Americans who suffer from constant fatigue, low energy, poor focus and digestive issues, then you need to try RealReds for yourself.

My idea was to create a supplement that gives you the powerful benefits of polyphenols without the excess sugar and carbohydrates. Being conservative, you would have to consume at least 350 calories per day of fructose/sugar to get even close to the benefits of RealReds.

Your body needs polyphenols from fruit, but it doesn't need the sugar. RealReds offers a premium blend of natural superfruits and prebiotic fiber with only 35 calories and 1 gram of sugar per scoop. Just one small delicious scoop supplies your body with an impressive array of organic polyphenols, antioxidants and phytochemicals.

The ingredients in RealReds have been shown to:

RealDose Nutrition's high fiber polyphenol powder includes Organic Agave Fiber, Apples, Blood Oranges, Wild Blueberries, Aronia Chokeberries, Grape Seed Extract, Pomegranates, Strawberries and Tart Cherries. RealDose sources their organic wild superfruits from Sicily, Canada, Alaska and California utilizing only the freshest and most clinically studied fruit powders available. RealReds is on sale while supplies last on RealDose Nutrition's website.

I scoured the world to find these clinically proven fruit extracts and powders at the right scientific dose. RealReds is a powerful antioxidant superfood powder that tastes great without the sugar. RealReds contains no artificial sweeteners, gluten, additives, soy, preservatives or sugar alcohols.

Eating loads of organic fruits everyday is expensive, time consuming and contains massive amounts of sugar. I designed RealReds to cost as little as $1.47 per day, less than a cup of coffee. And remember, you're getting clinically proven fruit extracts you won't find anywhere else on the market except with RealReds.

RealDose Nutrition manufactures all of their supplements in the United States in an FDA registered facility that adheres to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). Each order comes with an unparalleled 365 Day 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. RealDose offers this guarantee because they are so sure you will love RealReds.

RealReds is easy to mix in water or in your favorite smoothie, it tastes delicious and is convenient for anytime of the day. It gives you that extra energy boost along with a precise blend of clinically proven fruit extracts at high polyphenol doses. Join thousands of customers today who are regaining their vitality with RealReds!

Nothing screams summer like watermelon and of course refreshing lemonade; the perfect summer drink! I actually LOVE lemonade and have been making Homemade Strawberry Lemonade for about as long as I can remember. It's cold, frosty and refreshing!

Adding watermelon is a super easy way to change up traditional lemonade and it's absolutely delicious! These two flavors together create the perfect combination for any hot summery day.

This Watermelon Lemonade recipe starts out with fresh lemons. You'll need 3 full lemons juiced so if you want some for garnish, be sure to grab a couple extra at the store! In order to get the most juice from your lemons, you'll want to ensure they're at room temperature (or microwave them for about 15 seconds before juicing). Before cutting and juicing, place the lemon on the counter and roll it around with a little bit of pressure. I most often juice lemons using this lemon juicer but you can also just cut them in half, stick a fork in the flesh and squeeze while rocking the fork back and forth.

Dice up the watermelon, blend well then strain through a fine sieve or colander to remove the pulp. If you are a person who likes pulp in your orange juice, then perhaps you may like to leave a bit of the pulp in the liquid in this case too.

Prepare your simple syrup by dissolving the sugar in water. This process can be sped up by heating the sugar water in the microwave or on the stovetop.

To cool your simple syrup quickly, use a little bit less water than called for in the recipe, once the sugar is dissolved, simply add a few ice cubes to cool it and bring it to the desired amount of liquid.

Freshly squeezed lemon juice is definitely best in this recipe but you can use the bottled version in a pinch. I love to use my lemon squeezer to make this task so simple and fast!

If sitting for a few hours, the watermelon will separate and sink to the bottom. Just give it a quick stir and it'll still be delicious!

Speaking of the lemons, since I am going to be throwing the rinds away anyhow, I usually zest the lemons before I start and place the zest in a little freezer bag. The zest is perfect for adding to frostings, banana bread, or even pasta sauces and it will keep in the freezer for a few months.

Tips for Making this recipe:

While this recipe is non-alcoholic, it's also delicious if you add a splash of vodka to create a Watermelon Lemonade Cocktail! Perfect to serve at a party or to simply enjoy at the end of a long day with a great book.

Looking for a delicious new Lemonade Recipe? Try our Pineapple Lemonade Recipe. Making homemade lemonade, simple!

While we enjoy juicing, we really prefer to use a professional high speed blender when making any type of fruit juices or fruit smoothies. Using a blender makes this a simple lemonade recipe! Most fruits have tons of pulp, they don't have a gritty fiber like carrots.

Have you ever blended carrots? We prefer to juice or eat them whole. There's no need to waste any of that juicy fruit goodness in a juicer. Pineapple is so off the charts incredible when fully ripe. The sweetness you get from it lends itself to whatever you're making.

Pineapple is loaded with Vitamin C and Manganese. It also contains vitamins B6, B1, Fiber, Folate and Copper. Just one cup of this tropical fruit is about 80 calories. It's great for inflammation and bromelain makes it good for digestion.

There's no need for any added sugar in our Pineapple Lemonade Recipe. The tart lemon gives you that traditional lemonade taste and the pineapple sugars mellow it out. If you don't like the tartness from regular lemons you can use the sweeter Meyer Lemons.

We use small glass bottles if we're serving to friends and family. If it's just for us, we pour it into a large mason jar and drink it through a stainless steel straw or glass straw. You can buy stainless steel straws online in different varieties, we even have ones with a slight bend like you see used in our Strawberry Banana Oatmeal Breakfast Smoothie recipe.

Pineapple Lemonade Recipe

My favorite color is yellow and the color of this Pineapple Lemonade Recipe is so vibrant and exciting. Don't you just love eating color?! I truly enjoy eating the rainbow.

Whenever we're at the farmers market our daughter will not only point out all the fruits and vegetables she knows, but she'll also tell us all about the colors. We look forward to our farmers market trips and never miss a single one, not even on vacation! It's so important to support local businesses and also save a little bit of money while you're at it!

If you'd like to try our Pineapple Lemonade Recipe in another way check out our post over at Super Healthy Kids where we made Pineapple Lemonade Ice Pops with Blueberries. You're going to love it!

You can find the ice pop mold online as well. Plus you can feel better about serving this to your friends and family. No artificial colors, preservatives, flavors, and most importantly not loaded with sugar. We let our daughter eat two of them, she was obviously very happy! 🙂

Don't forget to wash your produce, make a batch of our Fruit and Veggie Spray!

Hip Hip...It's watermelon season! It's basically the best late night snack in the Summer. A big bowl of cold watermelon cubes from the fridge is the best! If you don't consume it all in one sitting, you should make this...sparkling watermelon lemonade.
We've shared a bunch of watermelon ideas here, from popsicles to frozen watermelon lemonade, you really can't go wrong, but this drink is tops when it comes to refreshing summer drinks. We made a quick little video to show you how easy it is to make at home!

Watch the video here!

You know those cute drink dispensers with the spout on the bottom that are so popular right now? I love how they look, but the one thing they're missing is the ice. Every good drink needs lots of tiny crunchy pebble ice, don't you think? You know the kind you can buy in a big bag from Sonic?! It's my favorite!

To serve this drink, you only need a half gallon size or a gallon size glass jar like this. Super cheap. Plus I love the straight up glass walls, because you can get creative with the presentation and add slices of lemon and watermelon to really show off the fun colors of this drink.

Soda. Pop. Coke. We all have some term for this fizzy drink that brings back memories of sitting with our family around a dinner table. Or maybe it was a summer night on the porch, and you popped open a can in the company of friends. For some, it's a daily ritual as we sit in front of our computer screens attempting to stay awake.

As science advances more and more, we have slowly begun to understand the bad effects that a regular can of soda can bring. The sugar in one 12 oz. can of pop alone exceeds the daily recommendation by the American Heart Association for both men women . The bad part about this is that sugar is incredibly processed and more often than not, artificial (think of all of the "diet" drinks we consume).

The natural sugars that we want to consume-coming from whole foods (think whole grains, fruits, dairy), are completely missing. The next culprit is the caffeine. Caffeine is not beneficial for us in general. Add up all of the caffeinated beverages we consume in one day, and, well, it's just not looking too hot.

Why Make Your Own Carbonated Drinks?

In comes the carbonated water. This has been a successful substitute for many people! They get the same fizzle feel of a cup of soda, without all of the junk that comes along with it. Which really is great!

Ayurveda, a sister healing science of Yoga which originated 10,000 years ago in India has a few cautions on soda which I would like to mention really quick. In a fast summary, Ayurveda looks at the ratios of 5 elements (ether, air, fire, water, and earth) in each from a perspective of your perfect baseline to what is imbalanced.

Carbonation in general increases the ether and air elements in our bodies, along with all of the qualities that come with it. So, if you, in general, take a longer time digesting food, experience hard stools, have dry skin or exhibit any qualities in some shape, way, or form of dry, cold, or rough, limit your intake of carbonated drinks.

Turmeric Drink Recipe

The great thing about this turmeric tonic recipe that I'm about to share is that you can make it in carbonated still water. So, if you are prone to those items listed above, just make it in some room-temperature still water! Just a few of the benefits of making your own drinks at home-they are totally customizable!

Turmeric Benefits

Turmeric tonic includes key ingredients such as turmeric (of course), ginger, and chia seeds! Three amazing foods to definitely incorporate into our daily diets. Turmeric is a natural antibiotic, anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, anti-everything you can think of. Again, from an Ayurvedic perspective, turmeric is great for healthy skin, for allergies, cleansing the blood, and assisting our digestion.

Benefits of Ginger

Ginger has very similar properties as well. Fresh ginger, surprisingly from an Ayurvedic standpoint, is great for inflammation (contrary to the heat that you may feel from ingesting). Ginger also does a great job assisting in melting toxins from our body to allow them to pass. And of course, ginger is great for our metabolism and digestion. All super pluses!

Chia Seed Benefits
Inspired by Turmeric-Ginger Tonic
And finally, the beauty of chia seeds. Packed with your omega-3 and six fatty acids and good proteins, these tiny little seeds are some of the best things you can eat. These healthy fatty acids are important to hydrate the little cilia that line your entire digestive tract. When the cilia are nice and hydrated, the ability for your body to absorb more nutrients from the foods you eat increases.

Food is truly amazing, and a huge ally to our bodies! Try this turmeric tonic recipe and enjoy the benefits your body is about to receive!

Turmeric Tonic

Prep Time: 7-10 minutes

Turmeric Tonic Ingredients:

1.5 teaspoons of freshly grated ginger (be sure to peel off the skin)

1 teaspoon freshly grated turmeric

If you can't find fresh turmeric at your grocery store, use ½ teaspoon of turmeric powder (you can easily find the powder at any Indian grocery store, or online via various vendors)

3 tablespoons maple syrup or honey

¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Club soda or seltzer water for preparation

Turmeric Tonic Instructions:

1. Pour the water into a tall glass

2. Mix in the ginger, turmeric, lime juice, and pepper-stir really well

3. Let all of the spices and lime juice steep for 9 minutes. Strain out the grated ginger and turmeric with a sieve.

4. Add in the chia seeds, and let them swell up ~2-3 minutes

5. Stir in your sweetener, and top off with the club soda or seltzer water

Quick note: it's important to not use ice or really cold water. The cold quality will douse your digestive fire, making the benefits of the ingredients counter-productive.

Enjoy this delicious beverage!

Bring on summer and a never ending pitcher of this Peach & Raspberry Moscato Punch! It's crazy good and made for sipping poolside!

Sangrias and punches are quickly becoming my favorite summertime cocktail. They're easy to whip up, the colors are gorgeous, and they taste awesome. This punch is no exception. The fresh peaches and raspberries are so pretty in this cocktail and it goes down so easily. Like almost too easy. Like, "Hey! Where did all the punch go?" easy.

There's no right or wrong Moscato wine to pick for this punch. We had a passion fruit flavored (totally sweet) Moscato at the house so I used that, but any Moscato you like will work just fine. **Update: I made this punch again with a less sweet moscato and actually liked it better.

For the vodka, you want to make sure you pay attention to the ABV (alcohol by volume) on the bottle. I used Alize Peach for my punch, and that has an ABV of 16% (32 proof) so I used 1 cup of the vodka. If you're using a higher ABV vodka like Absolut Peach which is 40% (80 proof), you'll only need about 1/2 cup. Of course, you can always add more of less of the vodka to your taste, but be careful! This punch is dangerous.

Have any of you guys ever tried an Orange Julius from Dairy Queen? The first one I ever had was at the Dairy Queen/ Orange Julius in Lincoln Square, Chicago 2 years ago. It rocked my world and inspired me to make my own. So here I am 2 years later, sipping an icy fresh homemade Orange Julius on a hot summer day. I enjoyed it a lot, so I hope you will too.

YUM YUM YUMMMMMMMM!!! It looks so much cuter in a mason jar than in a big, plastic, Dairy Queen Cup.

Watch this short video showing you how to make an Orange Julius! >>

Read the recipe below and you'll be surprised at the simple ingredients. Orange Julius' aren't as smooth as water or as thick as a milkshake. They are right in between.

I love this picture because it goes with the Got Milk? ads. I LOVE seeing who the new Got Milk? stars are. I've seen everyone from SuperMan to David Beckham. I hope I can get those guys to do a Got Orange Julius? picture. That would be SOOOOO cool. Maybe I should be in a Got Milk? ad one day. I LOVE milk and my dad is always growling at me to wipe off my milk mustache (or in this case, my Orange Julius mustache)!

The Orange Julius was so good that I drained this cup in what would have probably been world record time if I had a stopwatch. I hope Dairy Queen knows I'm out here because they have some Orange Julius making competition!

And even a kid can make an Orange Julius so good that it poses a threat to Dairy Queen's business... Like Me!
