Root for Chicago on Top Chef

Cooking shows became my zen during the pandemic, but I’ve always loved Top Chef. From Tom Colicchio’s intense judgement and hatred of okra, to Padma’s, well, everything, Top Chef is the best! The new season starts tomorrow and Virtue chef Damarr Brown will try to carry on the tradition of contestants from Chicago faring well on the show. Root for Brown as he tries to become the next Stephanie Izard or Joe Flamm by winning the competition….and then opening a restaurant in the West Loop.

Do you stress eat? Here’s why…

Have you found yourself going the cupboard after a long stressful day and eating more than your body needs? Or just snacking too long in front of the TV after your family has been annoying all day? You’re not the only one. A lot of folks eat as a coping mechanism.

Food and stress are connected and should managed together. Food and emotion FEED off of each other, so if you get triggered emotionally, it’s likely that your gut is going to get alerted as well. Some of the brain’s neurotransmitters are made in the gut, like serotonin, the happy chemical.

It’s not terrible to eat when you’re stressed but there are some options that are better than others. Any food that has a lot of Omega 3s are good like walnuts or salmon. They reduce inflammation and help prevent blood sugar spikes. They also satisfy any craving. The best way to cope is to replace bad foods with healthy foods and you’ll end up eating less and feeling better.

Has your password been leaked on the dark web?

Cyber security is a big deal right now and there is an article that shares the 20 most common passwords found on the dark web due to data breaches. Going through it looks like every word you would try if you were trying to guess someone’ password… Any of these look familiar to you? <3 Lauren

Tip: “If you use any of the above passwords for any of your online accounts, you’d be wise to swap them out for something more secure. Cybersecurity experts often recommend picking something longer than the minimum number of recommended characters, and using uncommon characters – like punctuation marks or other symbols – in place of letters and numbers, to make your password harder to guess.”
