May 23, Cooking with Iodine Rich Seaweed

Thu, 23 May 2013 23:24:54 -0400

Iodine-rich foods such as seaweed are beneficial for optimal thyroid health.
Kombu, Wakame, Arame and Nori are all types of seaweeds you may be familiar with.
They are rich in protein, calcium, iodine, magnesium, iron and folate.
Kombu, Arame and Wakame are easy to use. They are usually sold as dried strips. Boil a few strips in water to make a seaweed tea or broth (like miso).
Another way to add seaweed to your diet is to add chopped strips to a stirfry, or into a pot of legumes or soup, and simmer away.
The nori toasted sheets may be used to make sushi rolls, wrapping around cooked crab, prawns, fish, chicken, tofu, tempeh and avocado.
Bon Appetit!

Dec 18, Benefits of Turkey this Christmas

Tue, 18 Dec 2012 06:51:43 -0500

For many people on Christmas day this year, the centerpiece of the traditional festive meal will be turkey, and such has been the case for many, many years. Traditionally regarded as a ‘special’ meat, we now know that turkey does indeed have some unique and ‘special’ health qualities:

Vitamin B3 & B6 - Turkey is a rich source of the amino acid tryptophan, which the body uses to make vitamin B3; an important nutrient for energy, blood sugar and cholesterol balance. Good levels of B6 in turkey promote hormone and mood-balancing benefits too.
Serotonin & Melatonin - Tryptophan is also used by the body to make the ‘feel-good neurotransmitter’ serotonin, and the ‘sleepy neurotransmitter’ melatonin. A lack of serotonin can lead to low mood and depression, whilst low levels of melatonin can disrupt healthy sleep patterns, so increasing intake of tryptophan-rich foods such as turkey is essential for maintaining a healthy balance.
Selenium & Zinc - Turkey is a rich source of selenium, an essential mineral, which is often deficient in the modern diets. Selenium is a potent antioxidant, important for thyroid health, female fertility, immune, cardiovascular and male reproductive health in particular. Zinc is also necessary for thyroid health, reproductive health, skin, immune, growth and healing as well.
Fats – Turkey is a very lean source of protein, especially if you avoid the skin and darker meat. It is also very possible for turkey to contain valuable amounts of omega 3 fats, but only if this was in their feed and the turkey was in good health during its life. So, when choosing your Christmas turkey, make sure you go for an organic, well-reared bird that is likely to boast a better nutritional profile than mass-reared commercial turkeys.
Low GI - Blood sugar balance is key for supporting energy, mood and hormone levels; being high in protein and naturally low on the glycemic scale, turkey can also help to support blood sugar balance as part of a healthy diet.

So, some good reasons to keep the turkey tradition alive, and maybe to even include it in our diets more than once a year! Whatever your choose this Christmas, I sincerely hope you have a festive and happy one!
