Vitamin Pizza

Okay so I know what your thinking, crushing up vitamins and putting it on a pizza is gross. Or maybe you weren't taking it that literally.  But you should be.  Everything you eat should be evaluated for its nutrient content and the benefits you will gain from eating it. 

While i'm not crushing up vitamins and putting them on my pizza, I am putting nutrient rich foods on it. I make a few small changes to make my pizza "healthy".  I say "healthy" because well theres still cheese and carbs this equation but better decisions, no matter how small, can make a big difference.  Swapping fatty processed meats and extreme amounts of cheese for nutrient rich fruits and vegetables is a healthier choice that makes a big differences. 

Moral of the story, if your craving something "bad" opt for a healthier version by making a few small changes.

Now, however, a new study has been released claiming that are no such health benefits involved with resveratrol or drinking a glass of red wine. 

My involvement with The American Red Cross

I recently joined the red cross and started volunteering as a blood bank volunteer.  While I always knew blood donation was important I never realized just how important it is. So far, it has been an amazing experience. While volunteering, I've meet so many interesting and inspiring people!

I wanted to share some of the information I learned from the red cross.
