Hearts to God, Mindsto your health!

General Info

Cooking healthy and delectably is an art an art! In 2014, push the envelope of your creativity-- share and inspire others to find the adventurous artist or 'foodie' inside themselves! Our family and friends draw from Northern European to Costa Rican roots to enrich their recipes and creative talents, and we want to share our faves. Why eat mostly plants and complex carbohydrate staples? My family and I have been following research-based lifestyle advice supporting this since the '70s, as in UCSF Dr Dean Ornish's "Reversing Heart Disease". See also books by Caldwell Esselstyn, Jr at Cleveland Clinic , who writes of helping President Clinton on health topics and who demonstrates these benefits with coronary angiograms andthe reversal of diabetes. His fireman son Rip's book of recipes is the source of many of our recipes and tweaks. We have experienced many other health benefits such a lifestyle can offer our healthy fellow bicycle racers love the greater energy they feel and better sports performance. Contemporary influences include Deepak Chopra, and author John Robbins. For more on the research I found T. Colin Campbells authoritative presentation of the data in "The China Study" fascinating. Hes a National Institutes of Health biochemist who studied nutrition's effects on the above 'Western Diseases' including cancer. Now coming into national focus as an obvious wayto prevent or reverse chronic diseases and save healthcare dollars, researchers here and abroad have reproduced the same findings in confirming research trials. You'll find tons about eating local wholefoods and caveman workouts, etc online (but read critically, as some sites are selling quick fixes and fads not based in good large randomized, controlled trials). You can follow Dr Greger, and Dr Katz's ABC Fitness and practical programs to make staying fit and eating well affordable! I like his Nuval (nutritive-value) scoring system which the food industry is urged to put on labels. Tell your school about your favorite program. Writing as a 'foodie', a prevention-minded family physician, and mom to rather discerning tasters, I know its hard to get kids (of all ages) to appreciate new foods. How do we introduce function-supporting healthy recipes if our family wasn't born into the lifestyle? I hope this inspires recipe and idea sharing, or at least trying something new...like kale! Happy New Year-- Here's To Your Health!
