Next up is Dr. Earl Mindell – Everyone knows America goes nuts for all kinds of snacks. Many nutritional experts, however, wish Americans would just go for the nuts – WALNUTS!
While it’s well documented that the grocery aisles and convenience stores are full of unhealthy sugary and salty snacks, extensive studies have shown that a wide variety of nuts provide numerous health benefits. Walnuts, nutritionists and scientists agree, check all the boxes as a healthy snack, enhancing brain, heart and bone health and helping with weight management.
“Just about everything that’s wrong with America’s health is related to diet,” says Dr. Earl L. Mindell, a spokesman for Primavera® brand walnuts (www.primaverawalnuts.com), an internationally-recognized expert on nutrition, vitamins and herbal remedies, and the author of 63 health-related books. “We’re killing ourselves in this country with what we’re eating, and snacking is the big killer. Look at our grocery aisles – it’s almost all junk.”
Next it’s all about Kumana avocado based sauces.
Kumana, a Los Angeles-based, Venezuelan-inspired company, making a line of avocado sauces. Co-founder and CEO Francisco Pavan grew up in Venezuela wither the Avacado-based sauce was a common addition to many meals, like barbecue and grilled meats.
According to Pavan, Kumana makes three different flavors of sauces: Kumana “Be Original” is truest to the classic from our childhoods and travels. “Be Sweet” blends in a little mango love … and for the full experience, “Be Hot” takes that mango and finishes it off with just the right amount of habanero heat.
In addition to exotic roots, Kumana avocado sauces are non-GMO with no added sugar. The main ingredients include avocados of course, with onions, bell pepper garlic, cilantro and a little vinegar. Francisco says “We love that we took a Venezuelan condiment and introduced it to the mainstream US market.”

Good Life Guy’s Wine of the Week:
2017 Quinta Da Aveleda Vinho Verde
Grape varieties; 70% Loureiro, 30% Alvarinho fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks, no oak treatment or Malo Lactic fermentation. Sourced from 12-year-old vines, it’s light-bodied with a plump feel to the crunchy peach, kumquat and pineapple flavors showing mineral and floral notes that linger into the clean finish. In a region filled with awesome values, this is certainly one of the best bangs for the buck that you can get.
