The other day I asked a friend "Why do we eat hummus" , I know that is is supposed to be good for you, her response was simply "Because the Zohan said so", this naturally amuses the hell out of me.
Hummus is a Middle Eastern and Arabic food dip or spread made from cooked, mashed chickpeas blended with tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and garlic. Hummus is high in iron and vitamin C and also has significant amounts of folate and vitamin B6. The chickpeas are a good source of protein and dietary fiber. Hummus is useful in vegetarian diets; like other combinations of grains and pulses, it serves as a complete protein when eaten with bread. I just don't know about all of that, I have been learning to try an like hummus as it is good for me, actually i will continue to try and stomach the hummus because the Zohan said so!
My "dietitian" (whom I have not seen in ages) is also a strong pusher of the ever popular Greek yogurt food trend. I can't even hold that in, so unless John Stamos shows up and hand feeds it to me in a loin cloth, it just isn't happening.
The most useful tip I have gotten in a long while was pick up the probiotics. I did and after just a few days I feel something changing, I was taking one of those lovely yogurt products that shall remain nameless but taste like sawdust is infused into it, YUCK.
So that was my random thought of the day. Really not so random, if you suffer from agoraphobia or panic chances are your stomach is just a hot mess so diet is an important factor too. Pick up the probiotics it is a worth while investment.
Happy Saturday!
Love and Light.
