Tip of the Week: The vitamin C in limes and other citrus fruits helps the body absorb iron when eaten with plant-based sources of iron (nonheme iron) like beans, lentils, leafy greens, quinoa, and tofu. Limes are also packed with essential nutrients such as potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, calcium, folate, and choline, along with small amounts of vitamins A, E, and K. Try these recipes to boost your lime juice intake: Love to Be Green Dip, Guacasalsa, and Potato Salad with Jalapeño-Lime Dressing.

The Resolve Health and Fitness Story
​
​In 2008 I didn't know how to pronounce the word "vegan" (no joke, I had to go to an online dictionary to hear it pronounced) and I had never heard the words "whole foods, plant-based". But I came across an article in the Wall Street Journal that mentioned a book called The China Study. I was intrigued and checked the book out of the library. It changed my life. I was instantly convinced that the way I was eating was slowly ruining my health and I resolved right then and there to adopt a whole foods, plant-based diet. After going whole foods, plant-based I lost 10 pounds, felt more energetic and other annoying health issues disappeared. Later, realizing that fitness was also important to my overall health, I became an avid runner and gym rat. Now I want to help others learn what I did. Thus, the birth of Resolve Health and Fitness.
​
I hold certificates in Plant-Based Nutrition from eCornell University and the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutritional Studies; and in Plant-Based Cooking from the Rouxbe School. I have been a licensed Food for Life instructor with the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine and with over 8 years teaching experience and my background and expertise in both plant-based cooking and fitness, I want to help others learn how to benefit from a whole foods plant-based lifestyle.
