No, these aren’t your run-of-the mill, flat in f No, these aren’t your run-of-the mill, flat in flavor and dry as hockey pucks turkey burgers—these babies are oozing with nutrients AND deliciousness @thenutritiouslifestudio alum @erinparekh_’s Curry Carrot Turkey Burgers are 👌

Here is how to make this lean, protein-rich meal: 

INGREDIENTS
1 pound lean organic ground turkey
2 scallions, finely chopped
1 tablespoon finely chopped jalapeño, to taste
1/2 cup grated carrot
1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
2 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
1 teaspoon yellow curry powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste

DIRECTIONS
• Preheat grill to medium high heat and lightly brush with oil, or preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except turkey, making sure the spices are evenly distributed. Add turkey and gently mix together.
• To portion the burgers, gently press the mixture down with your hands and score into 4 sections before forming patties. I find wetting your hands prevents the turkey from sticking. Each burger should be roughly 1/2-inch thick.
• Place burgers on the grill and cook for 5-6 minutes per side or until completely cooked and no longer pink. You’re looking for an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. If using the oven, burgers will cook in 15-18 minutes. Serve with bun of choice or in a lettuce wrap. You can easily add more nutrients by adding healthy toppings that match your own tastes.

❤️#WorldHeartDay: Cardiovascular diseases, inc ❤️#WorldHeartDay: Cardiovascular diseases, including heart disease and stroke, remain the leading causes of death globally. Prevention (our favorite word around here!) lies at the core of safeguarding heart health.

𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁-𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱𝘀 - The first step toward a heart-healthy diet is acknowledging the symbiotic relationship between our cardiovascular system and the foods we eat. Embrace whole, real foods rich in fiber, healthy fats, and antioxidants.

𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝘆 𝘄𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 - Carrying extra weight can put a burden on your heart—losing even 10 pounds can pave the way for improved cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and overall heart function.

𝗪𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝘀𝗻𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 - A heart-conscious lifestyle embraces smart snacking habits! Foods such as  fruits, nuts, and veggies provide fiber, essential fatty acids and antioxidants that help reduce inflammation, lower bad cholesterol and regulate blood sugar, all of which are key factors in maintaining a healthy heart. 

𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗱 - New research highlights the the role of ubiquinol in heart health. Found in foods like eggs, beef, fish, some raw vegetables and unprocessed grains, it’s the converted form of CoQ10 and may support cardiovascular health. 

𝗥𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸𝘂𝗽𝘀 - Evaluating your heart health status is one of the most important things you can do for yourself. Start by gathering essential information like cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and of course a family health history.

𝗦𝗹𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗽 - Too much or too little sleep can increase risk of heart disease and influence other key factors such as diet and physical activity. Prioritize sleep and aim for 7 to 8 hours.

𝗦𝗼𝗱𝗶𝘂𝗺 & 𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘂𝗺 - Sodium often gets a bad rap, but it plays an important role regulating blood pressure when balanced with potassium. In fact, too much sodium restriction has shown to be harmful to heart failure patients. Stick to whole food sources and avoid excessive amounts of sodium from ultra-processed foods.

𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐢𝐧 - to prevent muscle breakdown and stimulate muscle synthesis
𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐛𝐬 - carbs to replenish muscle glycogen used during the workout
𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐱𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 - help calm inflammation and improve post-exercise muscle recovery

When and what to eat post exercise depends on the length and intensity of exercise, the individual needs and goals. Very often the post workout meal or snack is simply breakfast, lunch or dinner or a snack. No extra meal or snack needed! What matters most is making the most out of that meal or snack to include these nutrients mentioned above. 

Few faves are:

Jerky and piece of fruit 
Smoothie with protein powder and frozen fruit/veggie
Yogurt plus pumpkin puree
Our founder @keriglassman is always looking for wa Our founder @keriglassman is always looking for ways to move her body—even during long days at her desk. One of her fave things to do is to take what @loroxburgh calls «movement breaks» to work her body (including fascia) without changing clothes for a workout, or even in this case getting up from her desk!

You can find this 5 minute desk stretch in the Aligned LIfe Studio. 

It will quickly help:
- reduce stress and rebalance the nervous system
- remind you that you are taking care of YOU—this can help motivate you to continue to make healthy choices for the rest of the day
- give you a mental break and then help you be more productive when go back to work

☀️ If you are coming to our Masterclass in Santa Monica in a few weeks you’ll get to do a fascia flow and LEARN directly from @loroxburgh - WE CAN’T WAIT!!
