In Atlanta? Here Are 30+ Black Owned Restaurants To Give a Try

Are you in town and looking for the next bite? Look no further! These amazing Black Owned Restaurants have all the colorful and well seasoned dishes that every heart and soul desires. And guess what? Most of them deliver!!!

Soooo, below is a list of 30+ restaurants for you to try and don’t worry, I did all the work. All you gotta do is click on the links and you will be directed to their websites.

Well it’s been a year since I’ve moved to Atlanta, I haven’t been to all the restaurants listed below but I am working on it lol.  I just can’t wait to try them all.

Anyways, because of the Coronavirus, some restaurants decided to keep their dining area closed for the safety of their staff and customers even though the State of Georgia is currently open for the most part. For that reason, please call them and ask about their regulations before you take the drive.

Personally, I have only been to a restaurant twice since the pandemic . I do  mostly  “curbside pickup” or “no contact delivery”.

Bottom line is, either you’re new to  Atlanta,have been here more than two decades ago, still in quarantine or couldn’t wait to get out; you gotta give them a try.

What to Eat to Improve Your Digestion.

There are more than 2 million doctor visits for constipation in the USA each year, and hundreds of millions of dollars are spent on laxatives yearly. Lifestyle choices, medications or medical conditions are known  to be the leading factors. In my opinion, it’s important to know the causing factors because that will push you to change your lifestyle and get a second opinion from a healthcare provider in case of a medical condition.

Constipation from lifestyle factors may include: poor diet which includes too many rich and fatty foods and too little fiber, dehydration, stress, not going  enough or trying to hold stools in.
In addition , it can be a result of certain medications and supplements such as: opioids, anti-inflammatories, anticonvulsant, iron supplements, antacids and much more.
Sometimes, chronic constipation can be related to gastrointestinal and neurological disorders, and these medical conditions include: irritable bowel syndrome or IBS, pregnancy and giving birth, diabetes, intestinal tumors, anxiety, rectal prolapse, stroke, spinal cord injury, dementia, etc…

Now, what can you do? Honestly, I can suggest two things. First, change your lifestyle if you notice anything different and talk to your provide if the cause is a medical condition.
Here’s a list of things you can eat/drink to improve your digestion.
Water
I personally know people that just hate drinking water. Well, HATE might me a strong word but if you’re not drinking, you’re dehydrated, constipated and much more. According to the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, it is recommended for men to drink about 15 cups (3.7L) of water and women 11.5 cups (2.7L). Many people would prefer to drink sodas for their fluid intake but the amount of sugar that can be found in these drinks can definitely lead to other health issues in the future.
Dehydration is a common cause of constipation since the intestines cannot add enough water to the stools. As a result the stools become lumpy, hard and lead to constipation, so make an effort to drink your water.
Prunes
Prunes and prune juice are a time-tested home remedy for constipation in different parts of the world and they work wonderfully. Prunes contain fiber and sorbitol compounds, elements  known to ease and speed up bowel movements, improve stool consistency and provide other gastrointestinal benefits.
Broccoli
As much as I don’t like broccoli, I’ll eat it from time to time because of its health benefits. Broccoli contains sulforaphane which is a substance that may protect the gut and ease digestion; therefore more trip to the bathroom.
Yogurt
Many dairy products, including yogurt and kefir, contain microorganisms known as probiotics. Probiotics are often called “good” bacteria, and they may help to improve gut health and soften stools.
Whole wheat breads, cereals, and pastas
I am personally in love with bread and pastas. I can’t go weeks or days without them. So, I usually choose whole wheat breads that also contain nuts and seeds which pack even more fiber into each serving.
Whole wheat products are an excellent source of insoluble fiber, which adds weight to stools and speeds up the flow of materials through the intestines.
Apples and pears
Apples and pears contain several compounds that improve digestion, including fiber, fructose, high levels of water, which can help to ease digestion and prevent constipation. It is recommended to eat them raw with the skin intact in order to get the most benefits from them.
Kiwi
On average, 100 g of kiwi contains around 2–3 g of fiber, which can add bulk to stools and speed up the intestinal flow.
Takeaway from this post
Remember to not skip meals, avoid processed or fast foods on regular basis, drink at least 8 to 10 cups (2 to 2.5 L) of liquids every day, particularly water. Moreover, call your doctor if you: have not had a bowel movement more than 3 days, if you are bloated or have pain in your stomach, have nausea or throw up or have blood in your stool. Also, talk to your doctor about a personal regiment because everyone has a different dietary needs.

Here’s Why Eating Sweet Potato Is Good For You!

Hello dolls, today’s topic is ” Sweet potato”!!! I will be sharing a few reasons on why it should be part of your diet and when you should eat it moderately. Personally, sweet potatoes are always part of my grocery list; I boil and fry them, but my favorite way to eat them is baked.

What are sweet potatoes? Sweet potatoes are a rich source of fiber and potassium. They also contain tons of vitamins and minerals including iron, calcium, selenium, and they’re a good source of most of our B vitamins and vitamin C.

Why sweet potatoes are important !!!

Vision

One of the key nutritional benefits of sweet potato is an antioxidant known as beta-carotene, which converts to vitamin A once consumed. Vitamin A deficiency can damage vision leading to clouding of the front of the eye. Therefore, correcting vitamin A deficiencies with foods high in beta-carotene can restore vision.

Have Beautiful Skin

Sweet potatoes are also rich in vitamin C and Vitamin E, both are very important in keeping the skin healthy and glowing. Vitamin C helps boost collagen, which tightens your skin. Sweet potatoes are also a rich source of anthocyanins that help with blemishes and dark spots.

Blood pressure.

Sweet potatoes are also high in potassium, which works in balance with sodium in your body . Moreover, the high fiber content of sweet potatoes can lower your LDL (bad) cholesterol levels which can help to prevent cardiovascular disease.

Cancer

Another thing I have learned is that Sweet potato peels, particularly those of the purple varieties, may be powerful when it comes to cancer prevention. Sooo, but I have to eat it more often.

According to this study, Up to 80% of the protein in sweet potatoes is a type of storage protein known as sporamin. This distinctive protein has been known for its anti-cancer ability and can be found to be effective in several disease types such as gallbladder, and colorectal cancers.

When you need to moderate your intake.

Sweet potatoes contain oxalates which bind calcium and other minerals. Having too many oxalates in your diet may result in kidney stones. You should take it in moderation if you have existing kidney stones or if you are at risk. For necessary precautions, contact your healthcare provider.
