Silent Inflammation


Ever wonder why so many gym members suffer with chronic joint pain, prolonged muscle soreness or sport injuries that never seem to heal? Part of the answer lies in the fact that exercise and sport practiced or played with any degree of intensity actually causes inflammation.

Lifestyle Nutrition for Active Seniors


If life itself is a sport, and I believe it is, then regardless of age we’re all athletes playing in the same game of survival. So the important question is “Are you winning?” Is your physical performance up to speed, and can you meet the challenge of the day, or has your ability to perform declined because of inactivity, poor eating habits, stress or just plain wear and tear?

Importance of Nutrition


Competitive bodybuilding is a strange sport. In fact, some don't consider it a sport at all. Unlike baseball, football, basketball, hockey and soccer, competitive success in bodybuilding is based primarily on appearance, not athletic performance. The vast majority of athletes eat to perform and, if they are smart, to stay well, prevent infection and avoid degenerative disease.

Energy



Energy is something that everyone wants more of, but unlike matter and its physical properties, energy eludes a concrete definition in terms of size, shape, or mass. Rather, the term energy implies a dynamic state, a condition of change, because the presence of energy is revealed only when a change takes place.

Cheating on Your Diet


Many nutrition experts actually promote a lifestyle of dietary cheating as a means of release, provided it is controlled, planned and monitored. Others say not to get hung up on the right and wrong of nutrition, that food is just fuel for the fire, and that ultimately, it's just not that important. I couldn't disagree more.

Waldorf Salad

Remember the episode on the TV show Fawlty Towers 1979 entitled “Waldorf Salad?” Waldorf salad is refreshing, crunchy, sweet and filled with hydrating ingredients. It is a light salad yet unbelievably filling. When you eat a Waldorf salad you can feel the goodness going into your body.

The Waldorf salad was created at New York's Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in the 1890's not by a chef, but by the maître d'hôtel Oscar Tschirky. The Waldorf salad was an instant success.

Zucchini and Tomato Sauté


Zucchini also known as summer squash is the most popular member of the gourd family, and one of the most abundant, economical and versatile vegetables. Summer squash is available all year long, but at its peak during late spring.

Hot-and-Sour Soup

I’ve tasted plenty of different variations of Hot-and-Sour soup and this is my own version. I like my Hot-and-Sour soup to be chock full of surprises and this shimmering, flavorful version skips the cornstarch which can often make it gloppy. You can make Hot-and-Sour soup as hot or sour as you like. It’s up to you and your taste buds.

The beauty of this soup is that you can add whatever it is you like into to it, there are no rules. Seafood such as halibut, prawns, shrimp, crab, clams or scallops add a perfect dimension to the bowl. Add one or add them all.

Tahini Sweet Rolls

The Tahini sweet roll is just that sweet and rich, high in dietary fiber and nutrients. It makes a great snack or treat that the whole family will enjoy… guaranteed. You can substitute tahini for natural unsalted peanut butter if you like.

Tahini paste is made from crushed sesame seeds and has quite a nutty taste. It is available in jars, cans and also in dehydrated form. Tahini should keep in a sealed jar and kept in the refrigerator for a number of weeks. There are two main types of tahini, hulled and unhulled.

Spinach Salad


Like kale and Swiss chard, spinach is an excellent source of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is what gives plants their green color, it is found in all green vegetables especially the green leafy vegetables.

Spinach and Egg Bake

This dish is great for brunch or dinner and can be eaten with or without any added meats. It is important to buy the highest quality of egg that you can find. The health of the chicken and its diet directly affect the nutritional content of the egg produced. Look for free-range or free-run, drug-free, omega-3, or vitamin E fed.

Like kale and Swiss chard, spinach is an excellent source of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is a powerful source of magnesium and is regarded by the natural health industry as an incredible healing substance.
