When Sandi and I turned Vegetarian, we must admit at first eating more fruits and vegetables was difficult. Both being brought up on the 'Grandma's" diet where everything is cooked to smitherines, sweet, raw fruit was a rarity. Unless, we made a Waldorf Salad swimming in Hellman's Mayo, a Banana Cream Pie, Pumpkin Pie, or fruit Cobblers.
With nutritional authorities telling us to eat up to 13 portions of antioxidant fruit and vegetables a day, how in the world does one eat that much? I've decided that folks would rather swallow than chew, so I came up with a smoothie concept that feeds your Earth Suit a constellation of nutrients in several delicious gulps.
You'll need a blender. Simply use an assortment of your favorite fruits, a juice base such as orange juice or apple cider, and a raw carrot. Last night it was apple cider, a hand full of frozen blueberries, a carrot, and Kefir, which contains 10 probiotics to stimulate the immune system.
Sandi loved it.
Make it as thick or thin as you like, but do your best and try to drink one of these daily. Mix it up daily with other seasonal fruits so you will receive a good balance of Universal nutrients: a gift of the Universe. If you don't tell the kids what's in it, they will think it's a treat.
That's the way God planned it, that's the way God want's it to be.
Peace and Love,
Chef Wendell

Brain and Heart Food--Omega 3 Fatty Acids
It’s hip to be healthy
Everyone has a right to feel good. Americans are discovering that every food on the blue planet leaves its effects in the body long after it has left the body. Foods alter, transform, and determine how our Earth Suit operates.
Americans are seeking their favorite source of healthy essential omega 3 fatty acids.
American adults gets less than 1 gram of omega 3 fatty acids per day. The NIH recommends that we consume at least 2% of their total daily calories as omega 3 fats. A 2000 calorie a day diet would require 4 grams of omega 3 fats.
Omega 3’s prevent a wide list of medical problems, including cardiovascular disease, depression, asthma, and rheumatoid arthritis, type 2 Diabetes, fatigue, dry skin, brittle hair and nails, inability to concentrate and joint pain.
World's Healthiest Foods ranked flax seed, walnuts, and wild salmon as excellent sources. Farm raised salmon has a fraction of the omegas resulting from the unnatural, human-created growing environment oozing with farm chemical run-off and anti-biotics. I’m drooling. Other types of foods that are vital to mention as omega 3 boosters: winter squash, hemp seeds, chia seeds, kale, sprouts, and olive oil.
A cup o’ winter squash provides approximately 0.3 grams. Three ounces of extra virgin olive oil is about 0.2 grams. http://whfoods.org/genpage.php?tname=george&dbid=75
Two tablespoons of ground up flaxseeds contain 3.5 grams of omega 3 fats, while a 4 ounce piece of salmon contains 1.5 grams of omega 3 fats. A four-ounce serving of giggly tofu contains 0.4 grams of omega 3s. http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=faq&dbid=7
The George Mateljan Foundation
Vegetarians relying on alpha-linolenic acid as their only source of omega-3 fatty acids should boost their consumption of ALA-rich foods accordingly to supply adequate production of its important derivatives, EPA and DHA. The three most nutritionally important omega 3 fatty acids are, ALA, (EPA) and (DHA): excellent brain food for ambitious businessmen.
If you are not eating enough omega three, then nuts to you if you don’t like ‘feesh.
Happy Trails

Zinc-Vitamin Defficiency Can Cause Disease
While working as the Head of the Culinary Healing Arts at now defunct integrative care center, it was normal protocol to test patients for the vitamin levels. Interesting enough, almost 90% of men test 'o' for zinc. Meat and Tater's aren't enough.
"Zinc functions as an antioxidant and is involved in many critical biochemical reactions. It also helps to protect DNA from damage and assists in its repair. Zinc is especially important in the prostate and may protect it from early damage that could lead to cancer, although our studies with prostate cancer cells in culture indicate that zinc supplementation may be less useful in treating prostate cancer. " The Linus Pauling Institute
Zinc supplementation may be more helpful in the early stages of cancer development rather than as cancer treatment. Department of Medicine (Division of Hematology-Oncology), Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute, Wayne State University School of Medicine Detroit, MI 48201, USA. "Epidemiological studies suggest that zinc deficiency may be associated with increased risk of cancer." Someone pass the Turmeric, please. http://www.newstarget.com/002604.html
Erectile Dysfunction (ED) can also be caused by a lack of zinc in your body. Men would come into the facility and ask for Viagra. The attending physician would say, "I'd rather you go to the health food store and purchase some zinc and manganese. Come back in two weeks and if it doesn't work, we'll try something else. Like focusing on your diet composed of blood flow inhibiting foods. The same foods that prevent heart disease and stroke.
Two weeks later, the guy returns to the center all giggly, remarking that, "He's back to normal sexual function." Imagine that? One vitamin deficiency causing so much havoc on out precious Earth Suit. Here is a site with sources of Zinc: http://www.vegsoc.org/info/zinc.html
Quinoa also contains a decent amount of zinc.
It's accurate that just a few nutritional defences can cause disease to the Holy Temple. Eat a wide variety of organic nuts, seeds, whole grains, legumes, probiotics, and fresh produce. Blood flow to your nether regions will improve.

Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup Healthy?
Changing your diet to achieve optimum wellness does not require as much sacrifice as you think.
A substitution here and there can render your favorites just as tasty as you like, but without the harmful ingredients.
A grilled cheese for example, when served with tomato soup is an American tradition, right?
We all know that white bread is a joke, Velveeta is nothing but synthetic garbage, butter clogs our arteries, and the Campbell's tomato soup contains high amounts of sodium and high fructose corn syrup, the pariah of the new millennium.
Grab some orange-wrapped Ezekiel bread next time you shop along with some Smart Balance Margarine, Galaxy Nutritional Foods Cheddar flavored Soy Cheese (http://www.galaxiefoods.com/), and Muir Glen Organic tomato soup (http://www.muirglen.com/).
I might suggest backing off, however, on the pickle slice and potato chips. Too much salt for your delicate system. Treat your Holy Temple with the respect it deserves.
Have a great day.
Bon Appetite'

Don't Go Near the Water
The more things change,the more things are the same. This is as relevant today as it was 40 years ago. "Consumption be done about our polluted water?" Humans are 85% water, we live on a water planet, yet we use bodies of water as dumping grounds. God weeps.

You Got To Have Heart
Our hard working friends at the Journal of the American College of Cardiology announces dietary and lifestyle strategies for improving markers of inflammation and cardiovascular health.
I overcame terminal heart disease back in 1988 from eating poorly and living a sedentary lifestyle. "The highly processed, calorie-dense, nutrient depleted diet preferred by the current American Culture frequently leads to spikes in blood lipids."
They suggest to eliminate inflammation, high triglycerides and increased glucose levels, eat a minimally processed, high fiber, plant-based foods, including fruits and vegetables, whole grains, legumes and nuts.

- Avoid sugar, high fructose corn syrup, white flour, white rice, hydrogenated oils, and fast food
- Maintain your normal weight and don't get over weight
- Perform physical activity for 30 minutes a day
- Enjoy one (1) alcoholic beverage a day unless you have abuse issues.

A Toot-Torial
"Fried foods and sodas I cannot part. And so I eat and so I fart"
The average person passes gas at least 3 to 30 times a day. To most wives, that probably seems like a low figure as men seem to be proud of their moment of social impropriety.
Recently, while shopping for groceries, the lady pushing her cart in front of me let go of a long boisterous fart. After all, the bustling store was loud and noisy.
I belly laughed because I've been guilty of the same behavior. "No one will know. I'm in a crowd".
As a culture, we are deeply hung up on bodily functions. Specifically, the rapid, often unexpected, evacuation of gases from the lower intestine occurs. Before we got married, my wife ask me where I hid them.
It is as natural as breathing. The gases that make farts smell bad contain ammonia and hydrogen sulfide which are made in the intestine. And eating oily spicy food and drinking lots of soda doesn't help matters.
Back in the 1500s, the then Earl of Oxford (Edward de Vere) deeply embarrassed himself with a badly-timed fart. John Aubrey wrote of this event in Brief Lives. "This Earl of Oxford, making of his low obeisance to Queen Elizabeth, happened to let a fart, at which he was so abashed and ashamed that he went travel, 7 years. On his return the Queen welcomed him home, and said 'My Lord, I had forgot the fart' ".
If your gas is offensive, perhaps it's time to take a probiotic supplement, eat yogurt and Kefir that contain trillions of good flora to your intestines. Your GI tract might be out of balance.
Oops, pardon me. I better buy some beano.

Career Boosting Foods--TV Video
Career-Boosting Foods for the Successful Business Man or Woman
Corporately speaking, long hours have become a badge of honor for some. Forty hour weeks are relics of the past. Now American businessmen are putting in 50, 60, and 70 hours a week to boost their careers.At work, do you feel like you are mentally swimming through Jell-O? Are you cognitively challenged? Are your competition and peers sprinting past you? It might just be what you are or are not feeding your brain. You might be eating foods that are depleting your mind and body.We need to understand that there are different systems within the body and that they work independently and together to form a functioning human body. Each system needs it's own group of vitamins and minerals.The digestive system will be busy at work on your chewed-up Steak and Fettuccine lunch for the next few hours - or sometimes days - depending upon what you've eaten. This zaps your energy level.Proper digestion, allows your body to obtain the essential nutrients and energy it needs from the quality of the food you eat. If you are going to eat that 'super sized' steak at lunch, then balance it with an equal amount of undercooked, fresh vegetables. What can you do? Other than a brain transplant, the first step is to consciously put your health first. That means getting enough sleep, eating in accordance with our design, and getting daily, aerobic exercise.Therefore, an executive needs to focus on whole foods and avoid junk, instant gratification cookies, and a candy bar for a burst of temporary energy.I can help: (317)-635-7006. I want to talk to your employees.
Snacks for work:
Just say no to sugar and High Fructose Corn Syrup in soft drinks and candy bars in the afternoon. No bagels either---pure glucose. A 5 oz. plain bagel contains 500 calories without topping. Health food? Poppycock!
A bag of plain almonds or walnuts, Cliff Bars, Granola, Carrot, red pepper, celery sticks, broccoli and cauliflower tops. A bottle of water, Organic Dates, Yogurt or Kefir—delicious Probiotics that strengthen immune response, Smucker's 'Natural" Peanut Butter and Smucker's no-sugar added jellies. An apple or two plus any seasonal fresh fruit. Use peanut butter on the apple. Dried fruit and nuts, Hummus and W/W pita chips
Eat for Success in the Business World--When you are healthy, you explode with boundless mental and physical energy.
1. FILL UP on the most nutritious foods first (fresh fruits and vegetables), then eat other foods.
2. Eat only whole fruit in the morning . If you have diabetes or specific health issues, consult your doctor. Stop eating fruit one hour before lunch. Don’t eat fruit with other foods (it makes other foods ferment or roting causing gas and interference to digestion).
3. Eat until you are “satisfied" in your brain, not “stuffed" in your stomach.
4. For lunch, almost ALWAYS eat one large, green-leafy, vegetable salad with at least 10 different fresh vegetables (count them). If you are still hungry, then eat something else.
5. For dinner, almost ALWAYS fill up on a vegetable salad and vegetables first (such as steamed or baked). Then eat other foods.
6. Before you put something into your mouth, ask yourself, “Is this food FEEDING me or DEPLETING me?" Enjoy the video.

Flossing Teeth and Heart Disease
Did you ever associate flossing your teeth and heart disease?
Because I have a 'man-made' mytral valve replacement, one hour before I visit the dentist I am required to take a massive dose of anti-biotic to prevent run-away bacteria from my teeth making it into my blood stream. Bacterial love to hang out on my fake valve, and that would be my demise.
Anti-against, Biotic-life. This process is GI track genocide so I ask the dentist if he was going to replace what he killed and he admitted that it would probably be a splendid idea, but it was not and never has been dental protocol. We were referring to using probiotics, Pro-for, Biotic-life
In 1988 I overcame a death sentence: Viral cardiomyopathy. A virus had homesteaded in the lining of my heart and I was days from dieing. Literally. Recently my Brother came back from Tuscany not feeling well. After a week, he went to his physician and found he had a bacteria in his blood stream. The type of bacteria specifically found on teeth. He could have died.
Three weeks of antibiotic treatment later, he is fine.
Without a healthy balance of good and bad bacteria in our blood stream, the overabundance of bad can cause serious health issues. Did you ever associate flossing with heart disease?
Make eating yogurt, Kefir, or taking a probiotic supplement vital to balancing the good guys and the bad guys in your GI track. And finally, I know it's a pain, but floss twice a day. It just might save your life. Now open up and say, ahhhhhhhhh.
Orally Yours,

Anti-Aging Food Pyramid
Concerned about how fast you are aging?
Maybe this new Anti-Aging pyramid will give you some helpful tips.
Eating foods that go against our nature is the same as driving your new car with the peddle to the metal constantly. Foods that are easy to digest benefit successful digestion and the complete absorption of all our required nutrients supplied by God's Universal apothecary.
Every food we eat leaves it's imprint on our health. Make every mouthful meaningful.
Peace,

Turmeric Powerful Anti-inflammatory
As a motivational speaker and syndicated columnist, when I talk and write I better be dispensing accurate information, or I'll get my back side chewed up. When I give information, I truly want it to be helpful and informative.
http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/547249
For several years I've been taking Hydrocodone, Vicoden, to ease the pain in my right knee which desperately needs to be replaced. Since I am on coumadin, a blood thinner, the thought of getting off of it and getting surgery is a bit disconcerting. Desperate to get off the pharmaceutical drugs, I began using bright, yellow turmeric in my cooking and withing two weeks, I was able to throw the liver-stressing vicoden away and I've not felt better in years.
Talking with Dr. William Sobat, head of the Clarian Integrative Care Center recently, I also learned that there are credible studies out there pointing out that turmeric also kills certain cancer cells. http://www.tribulusterrestrisextract.com/turmeric.html
Turmeric, used for 5000 years, is for real. Be sure to purchase the organic versions and don't get carried away. More is not better. If you are taking coumadin, (Warfarin) the blood thinner, be aware that turmeric will raise your test results, so be sure to adjust the drug to your intake of coumadin.

3. Eat until you are “satisfied" in your brain, not “stuffed" in your stomach.
4. For lunch, almost ALWAYS eat one large, green-leafy, vegetable salad with at least 10 different fresh vegetables (count them). If you are still hungry, then eat something else.

Food Additives Affects Kids' Hyperactivity
Several years ago, a local Holistic physician showed me a film of a group of 5 to 9 year old children setting quietly along side their parents in what appeared to be a typical day care center.
The children behaved like normal kids. The parents were asked to leave the room and the camera began rolling. The physician brought into the room, a tray of all sorts of junk food that kids eat regularly. Dead food from a factory conveyor belt full of additives, sugar, taste enhancers, and food colorings.
The cooperative children began playing with various toys while they chowed down on the free goodies buffet. Forty-five minutes later, the children 'got off' on what they ate, became wild and frenetic, began throwing things, beating on each other, and abusive to their parents when the re-entered the room...in shock, by then. Kid were sassing their parents who they respectfully treated only an hour ago. I could not believe my eyes.
http://www.webmd.com/add-adhd/news/20040524/food-additives-may-affect-kids-hyperactivity
Everything we eat leaves it's imprint long after it is gone. High quality food is so vital to a child's growth, so why do we feed them cancerous hot dogs, chicken McNuggets, boxed macaroni and cheese with yellow food dye, and other forms of crappy, dead food that alters their demeanor and renders them obese.
Could it be greed. Yup! I've been banned from two local high schools cafeterias because they fear we will uncover the truth. Greed takes priority over the health and well being of children from coast to coast. Rather selfish and pathetic when you think about it.

Cloned Meat and the FDA--Playing God
Cloned Animals Are Safe to Eat, FDA Says.
I don't trust the FDA to coordinate a 2 car funeral. Man is too corruptable and patients too trusting.
The FDA also proclaimed Vytorin would remove plaque from our arteries and lower cholesterol too. One million prescriptions written per week is diobolical to those who believed they were being helped.
Anyone recall when the government said cigarettes were good for us?
Yep, they think we are all ignorant and whacked out on anti depressants.
Disgusting.

Cloned Meat-A Moral Conundrum
A recent poll of Americans said they would still eat cloned meat because the FDA said it was okay. The FDA also said that the one million per week prescriptions for Vytorin was effective in reducing cholesterol and plaque. That was a big fat lie and someone stood to make billions.

It's becoming crystal clear that the FDA sees us as fools who will trust and buy anything as long as the government approves it. A poor criteria.
Like carbon monoxide and red dye #40 in your juicy two year old NY Strip Steak.

Anti-Aging--Live Slow, Live Long
What if you purchased a new automobile, drove it out of the show room, and floored it constantly. The peddle to the metal, non stop? More than likely you'd throw a rod, seize the engine, and wear out the parts rapidly from the abusive treatment.
It is the same with our body. When we eat foods that go against our nature, our body works overly hard to digest these unnatural foods it does not recognize. Dead, industrial foods from a
factory pumping chemical bilge into the food we feed our loving families, only to increase their bottom line. As soon as all the Manhattan swilling, white haired, corporate dinosaurs retire, we might have a shot at cleaning up the food system, but as long as money is more important than the health of our fellow man, then we are doomed to continue making the same mistakes. Insanity.
Eat food in it's natural condition. Here is a list of anti-aging foods: Avocado, black, blue, or red berries, cruciferous vegetables like cauliflower and broccoli, fresh garlic and ginger, almonds or walnuts, unprocessed soy, whole grains, watermelon, and lots of water to flush out toxins.

Homocysteine, Disease, and Folic Acid
Has your physician informed you that your Homocysteine levels are too high? You're not alone.
Homocysteine, which has nothing to do with the Chapel painted my Michealangelo, increases throughout life and is impacted by lifestyle, diet, and genetics. As we age our Earth Suit's ability to absorb nutrients decreases just when we need it the most.
In 1968 Harvard researcher, Dr. Kilmer McCully noticed that children with genetically elevated homocysteine levels experienced heart disease similar to the heart disease found in middle aged parents. An elevated homocysteine level is linked to heart attack, hardening of the arteries, strokes, Alzheimer's, kidney disease, thyroid conditions, liver disease, diseases of the eye, and erectile dysfunction, or assault with a dead weapon.
Excessive alcohol, meat, chicken, and coffee consumption have been show to increase homocysteine levels too. Not eating enough fresh, sun-drenched foods full of B vitamins especially Folic Acid (B6) , such as dark leafy greens will allow your levels to soar. Daily supplementation of 350 mcg of folic Acid for 17 weeks reduced Homocysteine by nearly 20% in one of his tests. Enough to reduce the risk of vascular disease. (Venn BJ et al 2002).
1/2 cup cooked lentils: 179 mcg
• 1 cup boiled collard greens: 177 mcg
• 1/2 cup canned chickpeas: 141 mcg
• 1 medium papaya: 115 mcg
• 1 cup cooked frozen peas: 94 mcg
• 4 spears steamed or boiled asparagus: 88 mcg
• 1/2 cup steamed broccoli: 52 mcg
• 1 cup strawberries: 40 mcg
• 1 medium orange: 39 mcg
That's the way the Universe planned it. Whole Foods are powerful medicine.

What's Wrong with Processed Foods
Our generous Creator did not designed humans to eat such copious quantities salt, refined sugar, dead animal fat, and bogus, synthetic chemicals. Nor were we designed to eat manufactured food. Whole, unprocessed food is what is required to grow and survive. It provides us with the appropriate fuel for our biological needs.
These foods can cause high blood pressure, heart disease, obesity, dental caries, and elevated triglycerides. Is this you?
Cooking from scratch is a forgotten art, however, you have control of the quality of ingredients.
We no longer cook: we assemble pre-made foods that compromise our Earth Suit.
I just read where pre-washed bags of ready-to-eat lettuce, greens, and spinach contain MSG. Yikes.
Purchasing your produce and meats directly from a local farmer can save you some money as you stimulate and support the local economy. Plus, home-grown always taste wonderful.

Don't Hesitate, Eliminate
My black Lab, Reggie, loves to run, try to climb trees, and chase squirrels just like any other hunting dog. She provides me with so much laughter with her antics. One particular quirk of which I can relate is when she completes Pooping, she takes off in a full run, like she feels like a million dollars.
Considering how some of us are carrying around 20 meals in our belly, it feels great to completely and effortlessly, evacuate. A certain lightness. Please, don't be grossed out. Everyone poops and an efficient elimination promotes excellent GI health.
After almost dieing from a heart virus back in 1988, I became a vegetarian. Vegetarianism is not for everyone and is a very personal decision. Subsequently, however, I lost 100 pounds when I ceased eating animal products like cheese, milk, and partially decomposed animal protein. I began eating whole foods brimming with fiber.
The more aware I became of how important my food choices were to my overall health, the more weight I lost. Not being accustomed to lots of fiber in my digestive system before my epiphany, the newly added ingredient to my diet turned the daily experience of elimination into
only a moment. Not enough time to read one paragraph.
The event should not take 15 hemorrhoid producing minutes.
Happy Trails,
Chef Wendell

Eating with Purpose-Slow Down
Foods make your Earth Suit and mind happy plus cultivates well being. Every single food on this beautiful blue planet in uncooked or processed form, leave its positive or negative imprint in the body long after it has left our Holy Temple.
Is my food feeding me, or depleting me? Foods alter, transform, and determine how the efficiently your body works. Especially the clarity of the mind.
The more naturally the food is processed, the more health benefits are available.
When you eat, never be angry. Your mind should be filled with gratitude, mental clarity, and peace. Chew slowly; digestion begins in the mouth.
Gulping down un-chewed foods that go against our nature ages us rapidly; like keeping your foot on the accelerator of your new automobile till you throw a rod, so to speak. Slow down. Enjoy the ride. Eat conscientiously.

Unconscious Eating
You are either a conscious eater who eats to live, or unconscious eater who lives to eat?
From reading today's news, it appears that Britany Spears bizarre behavior is a result of eating poorly; Dead, nutritionallybankrupt, foods
With it raining restaurants, many of us take the biological necessity of eating for granted, opt for convenience, trust the source, and eat on the run, with little or no regard for the ingredients or what effects it leaves in our internal ecology.
We snuggle-up to food for a mixed bag of reasons: It’s our best buddy that does not talk back or interrupt, unless of course you have digestive disorders. We use food to erase the heaviness of the day, to cope with stress, to reward ourselves, to fill the emptiness in our hearts, to overcome our lack of self esteem, or to ease our depression.
Your Earth Suit reacts to food just as sensitively as a pharmaceutical drug, Every delectable tidbit you haphazardly place into our mouths, will positively or negatively affect our health on a cellular level.
Your heart would break if your family physician said, “No more crusty bread, steaming white flour pasta, marbled meats, fried chicken, lard-based fruit pies, deep-fried, cream-filled doughnuts, cookies, gooey cakes, pancakes, processed cereal, Twinkies, frozen yogurt, frankfurters, or fries” Avoiding these unwholesome foods, would drastically improve anyone’s health since these American icons have been associated with heart disease, abnormal behavior, diabetes, obesity, toxin build-up, and cancer.
You are, above all, human. Resolution begins with education, discipline, resulting in focused, conscious eating, seasoned with the loving, emotional support of your family.
If you are freaked out from the bumps in the road of life, learn to have power over your eating behavior, then don’t take anything you place into your Holy Temple for granted. Your body is your buddy and it’s the only one we get this time around. Savor the flavor of life!

Food Abuse
If you recall, I recently wrote a raging tome about a Cancer Survivors Picnic where the Central Indiana Cancer Center served charcoaled Hot Dogs and Hamburgers to celebrating participants. The road to hell is paved with good intentions..
Well, yesterday I receive a lovely, supportive letter from two health care employees who participated in a walk to benefit Heart Research and the American Heart Association. "Following the walk, the had tables of KFC and doughnuts for the runners.", she bitterly complained. How insensitive can a group be, or is it denial?
My column is meant to educate. But to server food that causes heart attacks at a health walk and cancerous foods to survivors is as wrong as someone 75 wearing speed's.
Let's all wise up and not let money be our god. Found a food web site that punched my buttons:

Avocado: Another Look at it's Medicinal Virtues
The Avocado: Not for Sissies
Recently, I overheard a curmudgeonly man gripe to his wife that she had—gasp!—allowed the counter girl assembling his taco to add guacamole. “I don’t eat no green food!” he grumbled.
The avocado, like me, is an acquired taste just and often misunderstood. Balderdash! It’s brimming with the first-rate, healing, mono-saturated fats.
The Aztecs used the luscious avocado as an aphrodisiac. They called the avocado tree, "testicle tree." The Aztecs thought the fruit grown on 50 foot tree, hanging in pairs, resembled a male's testicles. In 19th-century sea-faring circles avocados were known as “midshipman’s butter,” because sailors spread them onto hardtack.
According to Eating Well Magazine, enough avocados are consumed on Super Bowl Sunday to cover the floor of an entire football field to a depth of nearly 12 feet.
In our home, they are served in slices with a touch of sweet Balsamic vinegar, fresh chopped garlic, sea salt and black pepper.
Throughout time, the avocado, a gift of the Universe, has not only been valued as a food rich in vitamin D and potassium, but for its medicinal and skin-soothing properties. Squishing mashed avocados into your hair might land you in the loony bin, but Prevention Magazine says this will add luster your hair.
Avocados contain 25 nutrients, including vitamin C, folate, vitamin E, vitamin D, fiber and unsaturated fats. The sodium-free orbs contain no trans-fats and are low in saturated fat. For health-conscious foodies, avocado oil is acknowledged as one of the healthiest of all food oils, with a high level of mono-unsaturated fat, the "good" kind that helps us to lower naughty cholesterol levels. When selecting, pick one the gives slightly to the touch and store at room temperature.
Avocados are outstanding sources of two beneficial antioxidants, beta-sotosterol and glutathione. Beta-sotosterol is a prescribed anti-cholesterol drug that interferes with cholesterol absorption.
Studies indicate glutathione can decrease risk of oral and pharyngeal cancer when it comes from fresh, raw produce. First Cold Press Extra Virgin Avocado or Coconut Oil will be the next “it” food ingredient. The avocado doesn’t begin to ripen until it is picked. Those found in grocery stores are either rock-hard or squishy as a sneaker full of mashed taters’. Place them inside a brown paper bag at room temperature for a few days until they respond to gentle pressure much like a peach. Ripe avocados can keep in the refrigerator for four to five days. Unripe avocados shouldn’t be chilled because they will never mature.

Anti-biotics vs. Pro-Biotics: a Balance
What a glorious day to be alive. We live in a beautiful world.
My thought for you today is: If an allopathic physician prescribes you an antibiotic and you take it as prescribed, shouldn't the physician eventually prescribe a Pro-biotic? The balance of good and bad bacteria in the GI tract is exceedingly important to our overall health. After all, is this not wholesale genocide? Joking of course.
If we treat the body as a whole, then this should be dental protocol. Replace what you destroy.
A Dental instructor once told me that it takes your GI tract one year to replace the balance of good and bad bacteria. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/probiotics/AN00389
I suggest going to your favorite health food store and purchase a bottle of Pro-biotic tablets for those times. Do not buy them unless the are refrigerated. My valvular heart is susceptible to bacterial infection from, of all things, specifically, the bacteria that live in my mouth. Now, doesn't brushing and flossing twice a day make more sense?
Who would have thought?
Happy Trails

Career-Boost -Red Meat is Not Macho
Corporately speaking, long hours have become a badge of honor for some.
Forty hour weeks are relics of the past. Now American businessmen are putting in 50,60, and 70 hours a week to boost their careers.
At work, do you feel like you are mentally swimming through Jell-O? Are you cognitively challenged? Are your competition and peers sprinting past you? It might just be what you are or are not feeding your brain. You might be eating foods that are depleting your mind and body.
We need to understand that there are different systems within the body and that they work independently and together to form a functioning human body. Each system needs it's own group of vitamins and minerals.
The digestive system will be busy at work on your chewed-up Steak and Fettuccini lunch for the next few hours - or sometimes days - depending upon what you've eaten. This zaps your energy level.
Proper digestion, allows your body to obtain the essential nutrients and energy it needs from the quality of the food you eat. If you are going to eat that 'super sized' steak at lunch , then accompany it with an equal amount of fresh vegetables. Balance.
What can you do? Other than a brain transplant, the first step is to consciously put your health first. That means getting enough sleep, eating in accordance with our design, and getting daily, aerobic exercise.
Therefore, an executive needs to focus on whole foods and avoid junk, instant gratification cookies, and a candy bar for a burst of temporary energy.

Cracked Wheat Never Had it So Good
Tabbouleh with Orange Marinated Shrimp
Serves 8
www.wendellfowler.com
In Syria and in Lebanon, where this classic dish originated, tabbouleh is often eaten by scooping it and wrapping the mix into Romaine lettuce leaves. Most Lebanese put tons more parsley in it, however. It’s up to you. The healing properties of parsley are often ignored in its boring role as table garnish: A bad rap. It is loaded with vitamins K, C, and A. Plus, it freshens your breath.
Various studies show mortality rates were 17 to 43% lower for individuals who consume one or more servings of whole grain per day versus those that ate few or no servings of whole grains. www.wholegrain.umn.edu/health/index.cfm(University of Minnesota whole grains web site)
The iron content is off the scale with 5.5mg per100g (4oz), and the plant is a good source of manganese (2.7mg per 100g) and calcium (245mg per 100g). It is also exceptionally high in potassium, with one whole gram of potassium in 100g (4oz).
Today parsley is a valuable therapy for kidney stones, as a diuretic, for rheumatism, menstrual insufficiency and as a general stimulant. It settles the stomach and improves the appetite. http://ezinearticles.com/?Health-Benefits-Of-Parsley&id=111028
1 cup of fresh orange juice
1 tbs. raw honey
½ tsp. sea salt
¼ tsp. cracked black pepper corns
1 pound of ‘wild’ shrimp
4 cups of water or vegetable broth
1 cup bulgur or cracked wheat
2 cups of slivered spinach
1 cup diced cucumbers
3 oranges, in sections
½ bunch of chopped fresh mint leaves
½ cup thinly sliced red onion
½ bunch of fresh parsley, chopped
Combine the first 5 ingredients in a large bowl and whisk well.
Add shrimp, cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
Combine hot water and bulgur in a large bowl and let stand for 30 minutes. Let it stand until bulgur is soft to bite.
Add the bulgur, spinach and remaining ingredients to the shrimp mixture.
Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for an hour.
Stir it up occasionally so the juices will not all gravitate to the bottom.

Curried Vegetable and Pineapple with Soba Noodles
Now that we've all cheated a mite, here is a great recipe for your personal roto-rooter Purg-Master 101.
This tasty and colorful Curried Turkey with Pineapple dish is brimming with nutrition, enzymes, and fiber to help keep the digestive track rolling along. Many Gastric problems are a result of fermentation going on inside your internal ecology. If you ate a steak and it sits in your 98.6 degree colon for 3 days, can you imagine? That's why you need to eat plenty of fibrous vegetables at the same time.
We are using Soba noodles made from Buckwheat, a fibrous complex carbohydrate related the Rhubarb family. The fresh pineapple contains a compound that will ease the pain of your arthritis to boot. The turmeric in the curry spice is also anti-inflammatory and assists in liver function. What more could you ask for? The Universe is generous.
Enjoy this easy to prepare recipe and try adding some wheat germ to the mix for additional fiber. I call it 'Colon Pow'
