Via The Farmacy, this is a great list of anti-inflammatory and alkaline foods to eat more of as you kick off a year of healthier eating. Here at Noshtopia, our mission is to help you find more ways to eat foods like this in ways that are fun, tasty, and social!
Here's some beautiful red leafy greens and chard we found at the SF Ferry Building farmer's market last weekend.

Here is a great simple chart explaining what the numbers on your produce mean.
Since I promote 80/20 plant-based eating here, I recommend you eat as much number 9's as possible, get your 3 and 4's, and avoid the 8's whenever possible.

I love this infographic. America's Test Kitchen let's the cat out of the bag and gives the public a peek into their 12-step path to recipe perfection.
They make cooking seem so easy! Step 10 looks like it would be a lot of fun.

Here's an example of how food marketing is making us heavier. It's pretty eye-opening to see how sizes in snack foods have grown in a 20-year span.
What may look like a single size doesn't necessarily mean it is a single serving which is why many of us are eating more than we think we are.

I'm a visual person, so the best way to get a point across with me is to show me a photo or video.
Artist Stefani Bardin partnered with gastroenterologist Dr. Braden Kuo at Harvard University, and showed at TEDx Manhattan the findings of the first ever clinical study of the use of the M2A™ and SmartPill devices that look at how the human body responds to processed versus whole foods.
Yes, we get to venture into the stomach and actually see what happens to food in there. From a scientific standpoint, the videos are fascinating. From a personal standpoint, seeing what happens to the processed foods in the stomach was rather frightening.
I started wondering what other processed foods look like when going through the digestion process, and before scaring the hell out of myself, I quickly squashed the thought and found comfort in my arugula and avocado salad.
