Hold that morning shot
Nutritionists are speaking out about a new fad on TikTok and other socials featuring videos of people drinking large spoonfuls-- even shots -- of extra virgin olive oil. Long hailed for its associated health benefits, social media feeds are now overflowing with users and influencers encouraging followers to take a large dose first thing every morning. Nutritionists and other health care related experts shaking their heads - no. Explaining many times the nutritional value from olive oil comes from eating a healthy Mediterranean diet; things like whole foods, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes and lean proteins. One of the main reasons the Mediterranean diet is so healthy is because, more times than not, olive oil tends to the main source of fat. So dieticians caution: olive oil is a fat. And fats are literally the most calorie dense food on the planet. Recommending, instead of doing fiber-free shots of pure EVOO, incorporate it as a healthy fat in sauteeing, salad dressings and in place of less healthy fats like butter or coconut oil.

Celestial Celebration on tap -
Put on your party hats! A rare and delightful viewing of the five so called, 'naked-eye' planets is coming up. Throughout the month of June, depending on regional cloud cover, seeing the planets lined up in their natural order is a rarity indeed. While seeing two or three planets close together (what is know as a conjunction) is a somewhat more common occurrence, but seeing five is more rare. But what makes this months planet line up even more extraordinary is that all five planets are arranged in their natural order from the Sun. Best recommendations for viewing-- right before sunrise, watch the southeastern horizon, from low in the east to higher south, you should see Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, in that order. God speed and good luck ;)
