First, there’s the matter of flavoring the meat. Is a rub, a marinade, or a sauce the superior flavoring method, or maybe some combination of the three? And forget about finding a rub that all rib lovers agree on. There are hundreds of rub blends, all slightly different from the others, with each cook claiming their spice rub is the best./p
pOnce you finally commit to a seasoning method, then you’ve got to cook the ribs. This is the part that can be really intimidating. Ribs can be cooked on a regular grill, but serious rib lovers invest in a smoker. Cooking ribs can easily take half the day, most of it spent slowly grilling, flavoring and obsessively coaxing the ribs to tender, smoky perfection./p

Today we#8217;ll be discussing candida, a genus (more than a species, less than a family) of yeast with many members, at least one of which is currently residing on or in your body: candida albicans. Candida albicans and friends are everywhere, and they#8217;re usually a normal, healthy part of the human microbiome, but it can get a little out of hand. As I#8217;ve mentioned before, a title=”Gut Flora and Your Healthy Immune System” href=”http://www.marksdailyapple.com/gut-flora-healthy-immune-system/”the human gut hosts a tumultuous mix of microbial species /avying for position and supremacy and trying to further their own ends.

I started amping up the intensity of my workouts a while ago with lots of HIIT & Tabata training. This is some serious business stuff, ladies…I’m talkin’ spitting sweat! Men would get out of my way in the gym and ask ME for fitness advice. (I don’t say that to boast- I’m just telling you this is some intense stuff!) My cardio, strength, and endurance ALL improved drastically from implementing these into my workout routines. I’d usually add them on after a 30-35 min strength session so I’d be in the gym for right at an hour total.If you’re like me, I had no CLUE what these were when I first started…(although I did similar workouts on my own sometimes and didn’t realize this is basically what I was doing)…so I wanted to break it down for ya.HIIT: HIIT is a specialized form of interval training that involves short intervals of maximum intensity exercise separated by longer intervals of low to moderate intensity exercise.

Now we have concrete evidence that non-celiac gluten sensitivity actually exists. A recent a title=”Non-Celiac Wheat Sensitivity Diagnosed by Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Challenge: Exploring a New Clinical Entity.” href=”http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22825366″ target=”_blank”study/a, which I highlighted in Weekend Link Love, confirmed the existence of non-celiac wheat sensitivity. Subjects without the atrophied villi (tiny projects that line the intestines and help absorb nutrients) characteristic of celiac and without positive tests for various markers that indicate celiac experienced gluten-related symptoms after a blinded wheat challenge. It doesn#8217;t give us much of a clue as to the emprevalence/em of sensitivity, but it establishes that such a thing might exist among the general population./p

Luckily I like writing these posts, so they are probably here to stay. I hope you enjoy them. Well, let#8217;s get on with it, shall we?/p
pToday we#8217;ll delve into the sordid inner world of the chia seed (of Chia Pet fame, yes), the dark underbelly of black rice, the hidden agendas of the refined avocado oil consortiums, the Communist North Korean plot to brainwash minds via sweet potato vermicelli consumption, and how strawberries might actually be trying to kill you (yeah, strawberries).

If you#8217;re an actual human being #8211; not a replicant, nor an android, nor an AI #8211; and you#8217;re being honest, then you should probably be nodding your head. But what#8217;s odd about a ubiquitous behavior like procrastination is that it#8217;s almost unanimously regarded as being detrimental to our success, our happiness, and our progress as human beings, and yet we still put things off until later. Counterintuitive yet persistent behaviors fascinate me to no end, because they suggest (at least to me) an evolutionary incongruence at hand. They suggest that in another context, another environment, the counterintuitive was anything but./p

pEspecially popular in Israel, shakshuka is loved around the world for its comforting flavor and simple preparation. Although the sauce is often sopped up with pita bread, it’s thick enough that you can skip the bread and eat it with a spoon (or spread extra sauce over a hunk of a title=”How to Cook the Perfect Steak” href=”http://www.marksdailyapple.com/how-to-cook-the-perfect-steak/#axzz1rkfvTaeG”grilled meat/a for a really fantastic meal.)/p
