The Health Benefits of Essential Fats
By Nelson Narciso B.Sc., R.P.

The quality of the fats we consume has become a commonly discussed topic, and many people are now recognizing that they are not created equal. Omega-6 and omega-3, the Essential Fatty Acids (EFA’s), have a profound impact on our health and well being. The benefits of EFA’s include, but are not limited to, increased metabolism and energy levels, optimal hormone production, well lubricated joints, proper brain, retina, adrenal and heart function, reduced allergy symptoms, lowered cholesterol and blood pressure, and the alleviation of migraine headaches. Studies have also shown EFA’s to be important in less obvious ways.....

Green Tips for 2010 by Dale Bonke

As we start of the year off, what better time to start going “green” or being “greener”. January is when many of us usually make new years resolutions. So this month and this year, why not make some “green” resolutions? I don’t know about you but I like to keep my resolutions simple and not make too many of them (i.e. no more than three) or I get overwhelmed.

RAPID, GENTLE, LASTING TRANSFORMATION OF CORE BELIEFS AFFECTING YOUR HEALTH

SINCE 1983

Subconscious beliefs, those taken on when we were too young to remember, have a powerful effect on our physical health. Core Belief Engineering helps you to gently change negative core beliefs creating or worsening pain and illness into positive, adult chosen core beliefs creating health and well being. Then a transformation of the negative core beliefs is completed on the spiritual, mental, emotional and physical levels, down past the layer of the cells. When transformation is this deep and thorough, changes last and accumulate.

Happily Holistic - Alexis Costello's Nutrition OK Column

The sweetest thing

Chocolate. The very word itself is decadent and melts on your tongue. It is the number-one reported food craving, and some studies claim that over 50% of women say they would rather have chocolate then sex (though I suspect this number may have something to do with how attractive the interviewer is). Chocolate has had some good press recently for its health benefits, but many people seem confused as to what types of chocolate are good for them and why.......... read more

Blissfully Delicious! - Shannon Bliss's OK Recipes Column

Lentil Dahl

India has a rich, vegetarian heritage, rooted in 5000-year-old traditions. Dahl, translates into soup, which is commonly prepared with lentils, making this rich and thick meal common to households and restaurants alike. Serve this dish by itself or over a bed of brown rice.

1 tbsp olive oil
½ onion diced
½ cup carrots diced
½ cup celery diced
2 minced cloves of garlic
2 tsp minced peeled ginger
1-2 tsp curry powder
½ tsp cumin powder
2 ½ cups vegetable stock or water
1 cup brown or green lentils, rinsed
¼ tsp pepper, Salt to taste

Sauté onions, carrots, celery, garlic and ginger in oil, over medium heat for 3-5 minutes or until onions are soft. Add curry and cumin and sauté for 2 minutes, stirring constantly to avoid scorching the spices. Stir in stock and lentils and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 45-50 minutes or until lentils are soft. Add salt to taste. Serve over brown rice. This recipe is from the Wild Rose Herbal D-Tox Program. 2-4 servings.

A Winter Alternative to Fresh Fruit
Consuming fruits and vegetables is easy in the summer when everything is fresh and readily available. What do you do in the middle of winter? A convenient option is dried fruit. Like fresh, dried fruit contains lots of fiber, vitamins A and C, potassium and folate. Dried fruit is a portable snack and in the kitchen it can be added to salads, pancake batter, bread recipes or a bowl of cereal. Dried fruit may contain more calories per serving than fresh and some dried fruits are preserved with sulfite, which can trigger allergic reactions in some people, so read the package label.

Vegetarian Kung Pao with Broccoli and Peanuts
Tofu stir-fried with vinegar is a traditional folk remedy for malaria and dysentery. Peanuts are believed to improve the appetite and lubricate the lungs. An age-old remedy for hypertension is ground peanut shells steeped in water to make a tea that is drunk 3 times a day for at least 20 days........... [ Full Recipe ]
Apple Oat-Bran Muffins
Commercially baked muffins have become as large as small birthday cakes and
loaded with calories and fat. These muffins, on the other hand, are delicious
and loaded with fiber and heart-friendly oat bran. They may truly be the breakfast
of champions. You may use Granny Smith or Gravenstein apples, but feel free to try
your favorite green apple. You can freeze what you don't consume right away for
a later date. [ Full Recipe ]
Carrot Cake
Carrot cake is a perennial favorite, but it is often loaded with vegetable oil and laden with a cream cheese frosting. Our version is healthier, using a small amount of olive oil, a full cup of honey for moistness and flavor, and a combination of whole wheat pastry and unbleached flours. The crunchy walnuts even add a bit of omega-3 fats to this sweet treat. With a cup of hot green tea, this cake will make you forget about cream cheese frosting. Enjoy! [ Full Recipe ]
Crockpot Fisherman's Stew
This rich and easy stew, with leeks, plum tomatoes, clam juice, shrimp, and baby carrots, cooks all day in your crockpot. [ Full Recipe ]

Special CD Contest

Two complimentary CD by Derval Dunford, Co. Mayo, Ireland, called " Suí Mindfulness Meditation & Relaxation package" (double CD & step by step booklet)
Sui is the Irish word for sit and it is pronounced in a similar fashion to the English word ‘see’. Being guided effortlessly through these simple yet powerful practices, builds up your inner resources for dealing with stress. It allows the mind and body to REALLY rest and rejuvenate. It promotes restful sleep and brings balance to your life.

“ I am privileged to have listened to Derval’s meditation CD ‘Sui’. It is lovely to come across a CD which is contains something for people at all levels. Tracks range from 5 minutes to 20 minutes. The first CD is divided into sections alternating speech with Tibetan bowls. I was also very impressed with the booklet. I have no hesitation at all in recommending it, especially to those who, like Derval, come to know that embracing 'illness as messenger' is Sine Qua Non to healing. Dervals soft Irish voice is such pleasure to listen too." - Maria Carr

Supereating:
a revolutionary way to get more from the foods you eat
by Ian Marber (Author)

Reviews

I love all the Food Doctor books and regularly follow Ian Marber's recipes. This book is truly informative about what foods are good for particular conditions and what enhances the properties of various foods too. It's well worth reading even if you don't make any of the recipes. I'm looking forward to enjoying lots of culinary delights as I try all the suggestions in this book. Review by Susan kersley.

"Well explained, easy-to-read charts stop it from being complicated or time consuming." -- Marie Claire

Supereating is a breath of fresh air after all the hype one food or one nutrient seems to attract on a regular basis. Instead the approach is to understand how to obtain the most benefit by combining the foods we eat. Ian Marber is an inspiring writer and always in a practical, balanced and understandable way. It's a fascinating read and the more I read the more I want to learn to combine the right foods for health and wellbeing. It's got a comprehensive guide to nutrients and how they work together and in some cases against each other (dependng on quantities). I Like the section on probiotics too, I think they're very important for good digestion. Then on to health and wellbeing issues such as boosting the immune system and energy levels by combining the right foods. There are some delicious snack and meal suggetions which I'm already putting into my diet. Praise to Ian Marber for looking beyond the 'super food' hype and for writing an innovative and stimulating approach to healthy eating and wellbeing! A highly recommended buy. Review by Kristen.

Congratulations to Sheila Stephenson, who won the last referral contest and a special audio CD called - 'Seagull in Flight' by Chris Madsen ( Vernon). It includes 16 instrumental solo guitar works that will carry you away to blissful states..
