Meatless Monday: Helping You On Your Journey

One Step At a Time...

You Can Go Meatless

For All Three Meals

A whole-foods lifestyle is available for all individuals and families. Good health, vibrant health, begins with whole foods. Most of our grandparents cooked, gardened, and ate what was available. They didn't cook meals to satisfy each person in the family. Their children ate what was prepared.

So many things are tied to vibrant nutrition. Children do better at school. Adults do better at work. A whole host of medical conditions (obesity, hypertension, diabetes, etc.), which often plague the poor, are positively impacted by a whole-foods diet, but we have to want it. We have to want it for ourselves and for our families. We have to want change. Change that incorporates mostly whole foods will change lives.

Cost-wise, we are negatively affected if we buy convenience foods, eat out a lot, don't cook from scratch, don't plan meals, don't garden, and don't have a mindful food practice in place. Eating anything that has been boxed, packaged, cooked, or served to you or for you hikes up the price of our food costs. Period. Avoid this option whenever possible if money is an issue. Eating out is an obvious source of hiked-up food costs. If we're really trying to keep a lid on those costs, this should be used as a rare treat.

Cooking meals from scratch is the best thing we can do. These meals are more flavorful. They have a better chance of including the whole family in the process of meal planning. Cooking from scratch helps to ground the idea that good food and good food preparation matter. We get to experiment with taste, color, texture, spices, seasonings. More than anything else, if we want to change how we and our families view food, we'll need to be hands-on as often as possible. It truly does matter.

Planning meals helps us incorporate healthful tips and foods. It helps us be more mindful about what we are trying to do for ourselves. For our families. Meal plans also help us cut down on costs. If we know ahead of time what we want, we can compare prices, adjust our lists, take advantage of great deals. Meal plans can also help us create healthy versions of fast food (convenience eating).

Mindful planning. Mindful cooking. Mindful living. We spend purposeful time thinking about what we want for ourselves and our families. We make a plan. We think about our impact on the Earth and each other and we decide to act differently. We find out what whole foods are. We incorporate them into our diets. We should all give gardening a try. There are many benefits. We garden because it's good for ourselves, our families, our spirits. We garden because it's possible and it helps make our lives better. And because the food that graces our tables from the garden is so incredibly tasty and fresh.

We can save ourselves. We are unnecessarily afflicted by diseases and unhealthful conditions. A whole-foods dietary practice can and will change that. Let's get with the program. It is not only cost-effective, but could help put money in savings. Be willing to cook, experiment, try. Be willing to do what is necessary to change your life. It's a journey and LQ Wellness is here to help you begin your meatless journey one day a week.

Believe In Your Buds

We all had that one vegetable we refused to eat as a child, but times (and taste buds) change!

Don’t let the past prevent you from getting the nutritional benefits of asparagus, lima beans, peas, Brussels sprouts, or your personal veggie villain.

Our flavor profiles vary greatly with age: you may just find a new favorite in your former foe. Embrace your adulthood this week by trying a vegetable that you wouldn’t have touched as a child.

Start slowly by adding it to a favorite dish. If it’s still not love at first bite, congratulate yourself for giving it a try anyway.

Have a great week everyone and remember a better tomorrow starts with what you eat today!

Wellness Wednesday Thought

Tame Your Email

While email has improved our ability to communicate with coworkers, friends and family, it has also become a major source of stress for a lot of us.

To get control of your inbox and reclaim your day:

• Read: The first step is to read your email, and not when you’re driving down the road or when you’re in line at Starbucks.  Read it for content and understanding.
• Decide: The second step is to decide on your next action step. What do you need to do with this message to move it forward?
• Act: The third step is to do it—to act on it. If you can quickly respond to an email, do so.
• Contain: The fourth step is to keep the information organized. You need to decide on a way to organize your folders so they make sense for you. Most email management systems allow you to write rules that will direct your messages automatically into specific folders. Another helpful hint is to put numbers in front of your file names instead of alphabetizing them.

Meatless Monday: Benefits Are Plenty

One Step At a Time...

You Can Go Meatless

For All Three Meals


There’s growing support for adopting a more plant-based diet, even in the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, which offer the general recommendation to eat a plant-based diet that focuses on consuming vegetables, cooked dry beans and peas, fruits, whole grains, nuts, and seeds with moderate amounts of lean meats, poultry, eggs, and dairy.

A paper published by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics concluded that a plant-based, vegetarian dietary pattern is completely healthful and nutritionally adequate for people throughout all stages of life and that it has several health advantages, including lower blood cholesterol and pressure levels and lower risk of heart disease, hypertension, and type 2 diabetes.

Semivegetarian, lacto-vegetarian, and vegan women have a lower risk of overweight and obesity than do omnivorous women, according to data from 55,459 healthy women participating in the Swedish Mammography Cohort, suggesting that advice to consume more plant foods and less animal products may help individuals control their weight.

In a recent meta-analysis, Harvard researchers linked high processed-meat intake to a 42% higher risk of coronary heart disease.4 Data from the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study, which included more than 440,000 participants, revealed that eating a daily 100-g serving of red meat was linked with a 19% increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes, and eating a daily 50-g serving of processed meat was associated with a 51% greater risk.

The NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study, which included more than 500,000 men and women, found a significantly higher risk of cancers of the colorectum, esophagus, lung, and liver associated with red meat intake; an increased risk of colorectal and lung cancer was associated with higher intake of processed meat; and red and processed meat intake was associated with cancer mortality.

In addition to health, people are interested in reducing their animal food intake for environmental benefits. Italian researchers performed a life cycle assessment to evaluate the “cradle-to-grave” environmental impact of several dietary patterns. They reported that an organic, vegan diet had the smallest environmental impact, while a conventionally farmed diet that included meat had the greatest impact on the environment—and the more meat consumed, the greater the impact. Beef was the food with the single greatest impact on the environment. Cattle require lots of feed, water, and fossil fuels to turn plants into protein, the scientists said. To produce 1 kcal from beef requires 40 kcal of fossil fuels, whereas producing 1 kcal from grains requires only 2.2 kcal of fuel.

The Meatless Monday message helps people ease into the concept of decreasing animal intake by selecting just one day per week to go meatless. The campaign does not ask people to cut out meat totally from the diet. It is all about moderation; it’s one simple tool to help people incorporate healthier—and also more environmentally sustainable—alternatives to meat into their diets just one day each week. It’s a platform to introduce new and often overlooked foods, and ideally this will trickle over into other days of the week and ultimately translate into healthier eating habits and dietary patterns over time.

Healthy Meatless Recipe:

Roasted Red Peppers Stuffed with Kale & Rice

(adapted from kitchendaily.com)

Ingredients:

3 medium red bell peppers

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1/4 teaspoon salt

Freshly ground pepper to taste

8 ounces kale (6 cups lightly packed), trimmed

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 medium onion, chopped

1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper

2 cloves garlic, minced

3/4 cup cooked short-grain brown rice (see Tip)

1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup toasted pine nuts, divided (see Tip)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/4 teaspoon salt

Freshly ground pepper to taste

Directions:

1. To prepare peppers: Preheat oven to 400°F. Halve peppers lengthwise through the stems, leaving them attached. Remove the seeds. Lightly brush the peppers outside and inside with oil; sprinkle the insides with salt and pepper. Place, cut-side down, in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Bake until peppers are just tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool slightly. Turn cut-side up.

2. To prepare filling: Bring 2 cups salted water to a boil in a large wide pan. Stir in kale, cover and cook until tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain, rinse under cold water; squeeze dry. Finely chop.

3. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and chopped bell pepper; cook, stirring often, until onion is golden, 6 to 8 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Stir in the kale. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly. Stir in rice, Parmesan, 2 tablespoons pine nuts and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Divide the filling among the pepper halves. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons pine nuts.

4. Add 2 tablespoons water to the baking dish. Cover the peppers with foil and bake until heated through, 15 to 20 minutes. Uncover and bake for 5 minutes more. Serve hot.

Serves 6.

Tips: To cook brown rice: Place 1 cup brown rice, 21/2 cups water and a pinch of salt, if desired, in a medium saucepan; bring to a simmer. Cover; cook over low heat until rice is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed, 45 to 50 minutes. Makes 3 cups.

To toast pine nuts: Heat a small dry skillet over medium-low heat. Add pine nuts and cook, stirring constantly, until golden and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. (Or spread in a small baking pan and bake at 400°F for about 5 minutes.

Enjoy and Bon Appetit!

Strategize to Subdue Stress

There are many ways to beat stress, but you’ll find that some work better than others.

Keeping a positive attitude, stepping out of the situation, enjoying a laugh, accepting that there are things we cannot control, and asserting your feelings instead of becoming angry or passive are all methods that can lead to less stress and a happier life.

This week, consider which tools have worked for you before and perhaps try out some new ones. Having a few “go-to” stress-reducing techniques up your sleeve can make all the difference.

Have a great week everyone and remember a better tomorrow starts with what you eat today!

Wellness Thoughts

Peace of Mind

The benefits of meditation are recognized in both Eastern and Western cultures as not only having spiritual benefits but medical and therapeutic ones as well.
Doctors may recommend the practice of meditation for high blood pressure, heart disease or chronic diseases such as arthritis or allergies. Therapists recommend meditation for its impact on self-esteem, anxiety, or depression.
Passive meditation or meditative prayer can create a state of relaxed alertness, joy, contentment, peace, and emotional release. It gives us the opportunity to empty our minds and reduce stress.
Meditation can be practiced by anyone at just about any time. Here are some simple ways to incorporate some meditative practices into your day:

• Breathing deeply: Breathing is a natural function that you probably don’t think much about and likely take for granted.  However, when you focus your attention on your breath (even if only for one minute), it can be a powerful form of meditation. Concentrate on breathing from your diaphragm not your chest; breathe deeply and slowly, focusing on the inhale and the exhale.
• Praying: Most traditions of faith practice both written and spoken prayers and prayer is one of the most commonly practiced forms of meditation. One can pray by using one's own words or reading prayers written by others.
• Going for a walk: Talk about killing two birds with one stone! This is an efficient and healthy way to relax. Walking meditation involves focusing on each movement of your legs or feet, not on your destination. Repeating actions or words in your mind while you walk can help you reach a relaxed state.
• Repeating a word or phrase: Create your own mantra, a word or phrase sacred to you that you repeat silently or aloud. Repeat the word over and over; as other thoughts distract you, gently return your focus to your mantra.
• Taking time to reflect: Sometimes taking time to read a meaningful text or poem and reflecting on its significance can be meditative. Listening to music that you find relaxing or writing reflections in a journal can all have a meditative effect.

Weekend Wellness: Strengthen Your Immune System

Strengthen Your Immune System to Fight Infection And Disease

The immune system is the body’s “wellness warrior” so it is important that we give it the ammunition it needs to fight the bacteria, parasites and toxins that cause infections and diseases. Strengthening the immune is the single most important thing we can do to stay healthy.

There are a number of external factors that can adversely affect our immune systems. Toxins in the environment can either suppress the immune system or cause it to “overact” to allergens. Air pollution, cigarette smoke, pesticides and chemically based cleaning products can gradually weaken our body’s “wellness warrior.”  Unfortunately, many of us come into contact with these toxins on a daily basis.  Since we can’t control most of the external factors, it is critical that we take advantage of the immune-strengthening steps that are within our power to take. Mother Nature has supplied us with everything we need to heal, regenerate and restore balance within our bodies.

A diet filled with immune boosting nutrients can go a long way toward keeping us strong and healthy. Limit your consumption of caffeine, alcohol, sugar and processed foods. Eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables and buy local, organic produce whenever possible. To classify as organic, a food must have been grown without the use of harmful synthetic chemical pesticides and fertilizers and must be produced on a farmland that has been free of such chemicals for at least three years. Locally grown organic food is superior in terms of taste and freshness.

Ideally we should get the majority of vitamins and minerals we need from the foods we eat, but most people don’t get the recommended amounts of nutrients in their daily diets.  That is why more than 150 million Americans use nutritional supplements to guard their health. The type of supplement needed will vary from person to person depending on factors such as age, activity level and overall health.

Nutritional supplements along with exercise, proper rest and common sense solutions like frequent hand washing can go a long way toward protecting your health. With cold and flu season here it is more important than ever that we strengthen our immune system and keep our “wellness warrior” ready to fight for our health. The larger the insult, invasion, trauma or injury, the longer the battle is fought until healing occurs. This is why it is essential to have the strongest immune system possible. If your army is weak, or constantly battling candida, allergens or toxins, how will it have the energy, resources or troops available to quickly, efficiently and successfully tackle any serious invasion? Once the invaders take over a battlefield, you now have a war on your hands. If you have no strong, active reinforcements, it is very difficult to win the war. Within the concept of the body’s immune (defense) system:

Symptom=warning of impending situation; opportunity to reassess/modify= negotiate truce

Infection or injury = Scrimmage or Battle   

Disease =War

Building your immune is easy, safe and natural with Shaklee’s Immunity Defense Supplements:

• Nutriferon: is a powerful breakthrough in immune system science. This clinically tested; natural interferon booster is available exclusively from Shaklee. Are you tired of being sick? Then protest yourself and your family with Nutriferon. The world’s first natural interferon, an unprecedented Boost for your immune system. Today’s hectic lifestyle, stress & fatigue lowers your defense against disease.
• Defend & Resist Complex: Take when you feel that first tickle. Help your body respond to seasonal challenges by giving your immune system what it needs to stay strong. To supercharge your immune system when you feel that first tickle. Take six tablets a day for seven days. 
• Immunity Formula I: To keep your immune system strong and in good working order, Immunity Formula I provides the essential nutrients for healthy immune function. Easy to take capsules provide unique formula of vitamins and minerals that are key immunoactive nutrients.
