If You Haven't Had Your Shake, You Haven't Finished your Workout!
By Norm Danniels
What you consume immediately following your workout is almost as important as the workout itself. Every time you exercise, you deplete a significant amount of your stored muscle glycogen (carbohydrates) as well as your amino acid pool, and the stress of that exercise breaks down and damages your muscle cells. The good news is that those muscle cells grow bigger and stronger (provided they are properly nourished)... [ Read More...]

OK In Health 's Favourite Picks from our OK members

Healing Touch for Babies - A True Delight by Rita Kluny, RN, CHTP/I, Texas

The experience of birth is truly one of Remembrance -- of the miracle of creation, of love, of Divine Presence. When looking into the eyes of a newborn, something in us stirs so deeply, perhaps the memory of our own innocence, the recollection of our original integrity. In that moment, we are invited to drop the outer world, and let ourselves be brought back to Being....[ Read More]

“Value added” value meal?

I have to admit that I don’t understand the flavoured ‘vitamin enriched’ water thing. If water was supposed to have vitamins in it, wouldn’t it already? It’s part of the “functional food” concept, an idea that is being hailed as the new defence against sickness and obesity by the companies promoting them. Like genetically modified foods however, this idea sends up a red flag for many. In trying to do some research on functional foods, I realized that there are discrepancies as to what the term actually means. Some define it as “foods or dietary components that may provide a health benefit beyond basic nutrition”... [...Read More ]

This Month's Recipe - Healthy Pasta Sauce

Health Facts:

Every cook needs a good recipe for marinara sauce. This one can be prepared in less than an hour and used in many ways. It is traditionally served over pasta, but is equally delicious with polenta or rice. It also makes a wonderful sauce for grilled vegetables or baked tempeh or tofu. We don't need to remind you that tomatoes cooked with oil provide a source of lycopene, one of the carotenes linked to protection from prostate cancer.

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium onions, chopped
1 medium carrot, peeled and finely grated
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste 1 large can (28 ounces) Italian tomatoes, crushed
1 large can (12 ounces) tomato paste
1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
1 bay leaf
2 tablespoons dried whole basil
1 teaspoon dried whole oregano
Pinch fennel seeds
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
4 cloves garlic, chopped

Method:
1. Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or saucepan (do not use cast iron or aluminum) over medium-high heat. Add the onions and carrot; sauté until the onions are translucent. 2. Add the remaining ingredients and stir well. Bring just to a boil, lower heat, and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes or until desired thickness. Remove the bay leaf. 3. Serve with your favorite pasta or polenta.

Cool Snack -
Looking for a healthy snack idea?
Try banana crunch pops. Place a small banana on a popsicle stick, coat with non fat or low fat vanilla yogurt, roll in crisped rice cereal and set on waxed paper. Freeze overnight. Enjoy a low fat, nutritious and cool snack tomorrow.

Fluids Are you drinking enough fluids? A good indicator is the color of your urine. Light, pale urine usually indicates good hydration where as dark urine indicates poor hydration. Consider making a habit of drinking 8 -10 glasses (8 fluid oz) of water each day. ( More Wellness tips) Golfers & back pain Did you know that about 25% - 30% of all golfers suffer from low back problems? If you're a golfer,consider this back safety tip: bend your knees and keep your back straight when retrieving the ball from the green or when teeing off. What is Cranio-Sacral Reflexology Cranio sacral is the name given to the approach to osteopathy developed by Dr Sutherland 100 years ago. He saw how the bone structure of the skull permitted slight motion and noted that restriction of normal motion due to injury, trauma or disease could affect health. The Reflexologist can use cranio-sacral therapy with conventional reflexology, since the bones of the feet reflect the skull and sacrum exactly. By using the gentle techniques of Cranio-Sacral Reflexology, the practitioner is able to release the strain patterns found and support the body in its attempt to return to an ideal state of balance and function for healing to progress.
