Olive Oil Oatmeal


Olive Oil for Breakfast... I have started eating my morning oatmeal with extra virgin olive oil drizzled on top with a touch of sea salt. It is very satisfying and you avoid a sugary start to your day. Make your oatmeal by cooking it in water, when it is done drizzle olive oil and salt on top. YUM!

What you say is true. As you suggest I mix extra virgin olive oil with oatmeal and add more afterwards. I use it rather like I would milk. I have noticed an immediate improvement in a very short time with breathing and blood circulation. I wish I had started this years ago.

It's whats for dinner tonight!

Chicken Ceasar Salad Burrito This is a quick and easy weeknight meal your whole family will like. First you need to grill chicken breasts. I do this on my inside stovetop griddle. Second you need Ceasar Salad. You can buy the bag of ready to go caesar salad, or as in my case use fresh romaine lettuce with a bottled Ceasar Dressing with your favorite croutons. I used white flour tortillas from Trader Joes, (my family prefers them to the whole wheat), use what your family likes. Layer the Ceasar Salad in the tortilla, top with sliced chicken breast. Roll the tortilla around the salad and chicken. Enjoy! My daughter calls these green burritos.

Promoting a Movement Based Life

Promoting a Movement Based Life You have heard it before; sitting is not good for you! We all know sitting is not good for us but most of us spend our days sitting for most of our day. As clients of Functionetiks you all have a designated time each day that you work on your function. Your individualized menu. This is amazing and makes everything you do for the rest of the day a bit more functional. How functional can you be if you spend the majority of the day sitting? It wasn't long ago in our history of humans that our survival was determined by our ability to move. As humans we are designed to move; we can walk, run, jump, climb, carry heavy objects etc... In the past we did not have to think about it movement was built into our day. Today our modern life dictates that we sit.
