Healthy Blueberry Muffin Recipe
By: Kristen Oliveri Try this healthy blueberry muffin to keep the indulgence and lost the excess calories and fat. Make sure to keep an eye out when measuring the ingredients as well as the timing of the recipe to keep the muffins light and warm.
Healthy Blueberry Muffin Recipe
Ingredients You Will Need:
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour
½ cup yellow cornmeal
½ cup sugar or sugar substitute like Splenda
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
1 cup low-fat buttermilk
3 tablespoons butter or stick margarine, melted
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Non-stick cooking spray
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. With a large bowl, spoon the flour into a measuring cup, making sure to get the precise amount of flour. Combine the flour with cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Take the low-fat buttermilk, which makes the muffins more health-conscious, butter and a large egg and whisk together in a separate bowl. Combine all ingredients and stir well. Take a cup of your fresh blueberries (frozen blueberries also work well) and drop them into the mixture, being careful not to break the berries.
Grease the baking cups with non-stick cooking spray and pour the mixture into the cups. For an extra kick of sweetness, you can sprinkle a pinch of sugar on the muffins before sticking them in the oven to cook for about 20 minutes.
To test if the muffins are cooked thoroughly, you can stick a wooden toothpick in the middle of the muffin to see if it comes out clean. If not, give them another minute or so. When they're ready to come out of the oven, let your healthy blueberry muffins cool for another ten minutes or so before serving.
Healthy Variations For Blueberry Muffins
To kick up your healthy blueberry muffins, you can also include grated lemon rind in the mixture for another fruit flavor with none of the calories. You can also substitute the all-purpose flour for whole wheat flour for an even healthier alternative.

The Diet That Works, Great Lessons from Caveman
What is one thing cavemen knew much better than we know now? How to survive in the wild? Yes. But more importantly, they knew how to survive in the healthiest way possible. There were no diet programs in those days nor were there shelves full of diet books. What cavemen knew instinctively was exactly what the best diet that works for them.Let’s all take a quick lesson from our ancestors and see which elements of their diet are tips we can begin to incorporate right way to lose unwanted body fat and improve our health.
- Cavemen only ate what they could kill or find in the wild.By no means am I suggesting you begin to kill and hunt for your own food (we do have grocery stores now a days, thank goodness) but we still would benefit greatly by following this method in our own 21st century kind of way.If the food on your plate is not something your fellow caveman friend could have hunted, gathered and found himself, chances are you shouldn’t be eating that food. For example, a plate of lean hamburger and vegetables, followed by fresh fruit is perfect (for you and your new friend) but add a piece of bread or some pasta and now you have confused your fellow cave friend. These are not foods that existed during those times and are foods we are much healthier without.
- Cavemen only drank what they could find. Do you know what people have been able to find for centuries? That’s right, good old fashioned H2O (water that is). Water is truly the magic potion to weight loss and increased health. Unfortunately a great majority of people are walking around severely dehydrated and suffering from many negative side effects which could all be easily resolved by drinking more water. Hunger, headaches, constipation, and digestive discomfort are just a few of the many symptoms that can easily be resolved by a few cups of water. Make sure to drink half of your bodyweight in ounces of water each day (i.e. 200 lbs should drink 100 ounces).
- Cavemen stayed active for a majority of their day. I know this isn’t exactly part of their Best Diet but it is an essential and integral part of fat loss and optimized health. Tell your new caveman friend that he has to sit in an office chair all day and then go home and sit on the couch for the rest of the night and he will look at you like you are crazy (not that he doesn’t already think you are crazy but this would make matters worse). Move, move, move.Movement doesn’t always mean formal exercise. Take the stairs to your office, walk the parking lot a few extra times, get up and walk around the office a minimum of once per hour, anything to prevent you from sitting all day long. Today if modern man even tried to keep up with the daily activity and regimen of a caveman, they would quickly fall over in exhaustion.
The Best Diet and the Best Lifestyle plan can be easily established by just modeling the daily activities and food choices of cavemen. Use this question today to establish your own caveman habits “Is this food or drink something I could have found in the wild thousands of years ago?” If the answer is no, don’t eat it and find yourself a food that is more natural. Of course, don’t forget to share with your new caveman friend!

LEMON: ITS USES , AND BENEFITS.
Lemon is widely grown all over the world. Lemon grows in abundance in India , Sri Lanka , Malaysia , Mexico and West Indies . Unripe lemons are green in color. When they are matured, the color is changed into yellow. Lemon is a must in the kitchen. It is a universally favorite fruit.
Though lemon is acidic to the taste, it leaves off alkaline residues in the body. This is why it is useful in all symptoms of acidosis.
Lemon-juice is a powerful antibacterial. It has been proved by experiments that the bacteria of malaria, cholera, diphtheria, typhoid and other deadly diseases are destroyed in lemon-juice.
It also contains some vitamin A. Natural vitamin C is much more effective than the synthetic one. Vitamin C of lemon-juice is very effective because it is combined with bioflavonoids (vitamin P). In addition to vitamin C, lemon also contains niacin and thiamin in small amounts.
One should not take concentrated lemon-juice. It should be diluted with water before taking it. Pure lemon juice contains acid which is injurious to the enamel of teeth.
The body is well cleansed if lemon-juice mixed with cold water and honey is taken on an empty stomach early in the morning. Warm water may be used occasionally to get relieved of constipation.
Lemon-juice prevents or restrains influenza, malaria and cold.
