Do you Feel Healthy Eating from the Garden?

By: Carol Giambri

Are you confused on which diet works or should you become a vegetarian, vegan or a raw food person?  I was there many decades ago so let me make it simple, sweet and to the point.  Let’s get started now. 

Vegan Pizza-Where's the Cheese?

Vegetarian…
One who eats some fish, chicken or eggs can be classified as a vegetarian.  They are graduates from the traditional meat and potato diet. Consider this like a breaking into a healthier diet or lifestyle as see it.   

Vegans…
These are people who abstain from any product coming from an animal. Yes it includes dairy, ice cream and cheese too.   However, vegans are able to make many dishes without using animal ingredients. 

Chinese Vegan Meal Friend Made

When you hear someone is a vegetarian they could be using that term loosely to mean either a vegetarian or a vegan.  You would need to ask them for clarification like “do you eat any animal products?” 

Raw…
For many years I was 100% a raw food person.  I didn’t “dare” eat a cooked food. However, not feeling any different from being a long time vegan I found my comfort zone: eating tons of raw foods with some cooked vegan at times. 

Carol's Raw "Weedy" Salsa

Famous vegetarians…
Natalie Portman, Alicia Silverstone, Olivia Wilde, Pamela Anderson, and Chelsea Clinton are vegetarians.  The tennis star sisters, the Williams sisters, are now vegetarians and heard they now eat raw foods.

The Chinese and the Olympics…

In a recent article Chinese athletes, who train hard to be in the London Olympics have turned vegetarian.  They don’t want to be disqualified by the World Anti Doping Agency.  The head of catering, Yang Hongbo, at the Jiangsu Sports Training Centre, is challenged finding beef safe to eat.  Meats raised on feed that contains clenbuterol may be the cause for athletes to be disqualified.  

Where’s the safe meat…
Slaughter houses in Beijing and other providences can’t get a guarantee from them to say the beef is without additives.  So why take the risk? As a result the athletes went vegetarian.

More chemicals in the animal feed for leaner meat has clenbuterol or ractopamine in it.  Ractopamine was banned in China in 2011 but clenbuterol is acceptable still. Even in the United State and Canada clenbuterol is acceptable to us. 

Now what…
Are you thinking you can’t change?  If you think you can’t you are right. If you wish to start to change start now.  I believe the slower route is acceptable to some, but for me, I jumped in with both feet. 

Warning...
Be sure to check with your medical adviser.  Do they know all the answers? No, but they have the license and I don’t.

How do you change…
Perhaps the best support may come from an online support group.  I am looking to create one. If interested let me know.  Your friends too are welcome.  Take a local class, read online articles or search for recipes. I feel the biggest thing people need is encouragement. I can help with that if you desire to connect.

The garden…

Get the garden ready so you can enjoy all the veggies possible or shop for organics at health food store or farmer's market. Yes your supermarket too.

Reflecting and Acting…
With the athletes changing do you feel there is good evidence for you to make a switch to becoming a vegetarian?  Has the vegan dishes shared fooled you and give you a teaser seeing that we do eat well?

Do Vegetables and Herbs Grow in the Shade?

By: Carol Giambri

Did you ever wonder if you could enjoy healthy eating from a outside garden with a lot of shade.  Or inside your home where there is little sunlight? 

Red Beets for a Happy, Healthy Liver

This article was triggered by my friend Mrs. A.  Shade is a great thing to have when you want to cool off from the Mile High Denver, Colorado heat where I am.  It's not always a great thing when trying to grow tomatoes or peppers.

I used to wonder if there was such a thing as gardening in little sunlight too.  I  tried it and found that I can for certain plants. However, plants still need a few hours of sunlight.  I live on an acre of land so there is plenty of room to grow flowers, herbs, fruits and vegetables. We are lucky to have edible weeds that have their own mind and just pop up.  Most would pull out or spray dandelions and purslane but these are free healthy additions to a fresh salads.

Purslane

Indoor gardening…

Did you know you can even garden indoors and grow things like lettuce, spinach, and other veggies that require little room.  Herbs are a wonderful addition to add to any home. Let the kids get involved in growing and "harvesting."  Great way to have kids learn at a young age as a family "project."  Homeschool project perhaps?

Wherever you "plant" know that …

What grows in partial shade…

Most plants need a few hours of light, but growing things in total shade can be challenging.  Read the seed packages to see the ideal growing conditions and if you have that before buying seeds.  Also the right soil is necessary to get things growing besides water.  I prefer buying organic and that includes soil and seeds. 

Veggies:

Salad Greens, such as arugula, cress and endive. 

Leafy Greens, such as spinach, mustard greens, collards and kale.  

Beans, Beets, Radishes, Peas

Culinary herbs:

While many culinary herbs need full sun, cilantro, garlic chives, chives, golden marjoram, mint, lemon balm, oregano and parsley usually perform well in gardens with shade. 

Health Eating….

Healthy eating can start from your own garden, the farmer's market or a community garden. Try adding some of the colorful vegetables or herbs in your fresh or cooked meals. I prefer to not cook my herbs but to keep the full nutritional value in place.   

Your meal can be like a rainbow with many colors from the garden foods.  As they say and I believe "health is wealth."  It is expensive to try to get well and cheaper to change and eat healthy. 

Reflecting and Acting…

If you thought you couldn't garden in partial shade I hope that this helped you realize there are are herbs and vegetables that grow well in limited light.  Read packages for growing conditions.  I am not talking fruits here but perhaps in a future article. Ready to grow some different color beets or carrots?  You will be surprised at the flavors and colors that are on your plate. You may start eating more veggies this way too.  Get the kids involved.  Remember your dog may want some healthy veggies too. Organic seeds and plants is what I advocate.

Tips for Healthy Eating and Healthy Cooking

By: Carol Giambri

Most people believe they do healthy eating and healthy cooking. Does it have to be done only in the oven, on the stove or barbeque grill?  I am going to share with ideas on this subject below.  It takes a few minutes, some creativity that can be developed and fun playing in the kitchen.  Call it "playing with food." All this on a budget too saving money to spend on the organics that I call the highest way to eat. 

"Let food be thy medicine, thy medicine shall be thy food." – Hippocrates

Forget the stove...

Now I am not going to imply I never use my stove, but my oven is dead for over a year.  I don't miss using it.  For what? Right now I am going to give you a few ideas to wet your lips for my upcoming membership site that I see as healthy eating, living, less cooking, a smear of gardening tossed in.  Being budget wise and eating organics is my goal included.  

Healthy cooking means…

Blueberries for the eyes

For some healthy cooking may be steaming your foods and not frying.  For others just eating it fresh and raw.  However, here we are talking about plant based eating. I would never suggest eating raw meats. Although I remember my mother preparing hamburgers with what she called "chopped meat."  It was ground up meat for making burgers.  So when she put together the salt, pepper and garlic power I loved it.  I ate it raw. Eating fresh produce and preparing a beautiful colorful salad is my ideal way of eating. It takes very little time but it all begins with the first step which is begin. Ideally this is my best way of describing healthy cooking.

Our special girl, Molly…

2 Healthy Cooking Tips from the Kitchen

Tip 1. How about steaming instead of frying. It is much healthier and I believe faster too.  When I do cook vegetables I add a little water, cover the pot and cook the vegetables. Now watch the vegetables as they are making. I am allergic too cooking.  How do I know? I burn pots regardless of how low the flame is or the timer is put on. 

Tip 2. Brown versus white.  Brown is healthier and when it come to rice it is delicious too.  I like to soak it if I remember for faster making.  However if you are going to do healthy cooking it is better to go with brown than white rice.  It is even tastier.  Gotta try experimenting with your dishes and meals.

Brown Rice

Easy…

Anything can be hard if it is your first time making it.  It gets easier once you practice. 

Thomas A. Edison said…

"The doctor of the future will give no medication, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, diet and in the cause and prevention of disease." 

Reflecting and Acting…

It is really easier than you think, but it can you start with one meal or thing a day to improve on.  Maybe baked potatoes instead of fried for a meal.  This can improve your healthy eating and healthy cooking today.  It all adds up to days, weeks, months and years of adding better health into your body. Ready?  Please share that one thing.

Why Eat Healthy Avocados?

By: Carol Giambri

Can the avocado be rich in good fats, creamy,  used in salads, dressings or on a sandwich and be good for your hair, eyes and cancer protection?  Yes, you betcha.  I love them.  I am here to share with you some fast ways to include avocados in your diet. Where's the avocado picture? Oops. Maybe another time. But haven't seen their at Farmer's Market ever in Colorado.

No avocados here!

My farmer's market guy loves my

Raw Foods for years – my gift to him

Buy them at:

Farmer's Market

Mexican or Asian Markets

Supermarkets

Selecting an avocado…

If you are looking to eat it right now then a soft one is great.  Feel it.  Sometimes I even buy some that are so soft, I call ripe, that if you give it a little finger pressure it will crack one and ooze out.  This is okay too.  But you want to use it up fast.

WARNING—Don't store in freezer as it dies.  Okay, what should I do with my 15 organic soft ones I bought the other day?  Tune in as mine are all frozen now or really 13 area.

TIP: ripen avocados in paper bag or foil.  Live and learn.  There are so many tricks and tips that I still don't know but when I hear them you my fans will be the first to know it or them. 

The color inside…..

It just means it is ripe and I have loved eating the inside.  Just make sure there is no mold showing up.. If mold cut it out and eat the black spots or pieces inside the avocado. Never got sick from eating any very ripe ones that area black. 

Yellow is the most common color inside.

Green inside has been my experience of not ripe.

Benefits and Uses of Avocados…

Benefit 1. Beauty - Hair conditioner recipe

*Mix 1 avocado and 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil & 1 egg yolk mashed together.  Apply to wet or damp hair.  Keep on 20-30 minutes. Massage into scalp. Rinse well with warm water. See the shine and feel the soft hair.  

Benefit 1. Cancer – For prostrate and cancer avocados have been known to help with protection. Of course consult your doctor first.

Benefit 3. Eye Health – contains more carotenoid lutein than other fruits which helps protect against cataracts and macular degeneration diseases.

Uses…

1. On sandwich as slices or mashed up

2. In salads cubed or as slices

Over Exposed Picture but Delicious Salad

Reflecting and Acting…

Will you try an avocado and how?  Let kids peel the avocado as never heard of eating the skin. Kids enjoy healthy eating and that the delicious avocados that can as a butter spread.  You can see the rewards and many more to write about.

Health Happiness and Whitney Houston

By: Carol Giambri

Does happiness and health, wellness and eating healthy come from a pill, food, drug or an inspirational teaching.  Where's Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson and Elvis today?  

A voice left behind…

Don't judge…

I can't judge anyones choices nor their journey. However, I wonder why those who are blessed with great voices have left this world early. All left behind a legacy of music and wealth.  For Whitney it doesn't replace her short lived absence and impact to this world. I can hear people screaming this word below…

"Hanging" on to Love

So where does health and happiness from… 

1. Prescription drugs in packages
2. Alcohol in the bottle which some call a drug.
3. Food that contains ingredients like death sentences to our body — msg relevant.

Can we buy happiness and health?

If we have the money, we can get a prescription, drug or food.  Sometimes it is freely given to us by others. Can't we look to "safer" grounds? I believe we can raise out own "Happiness Bar" a notch or two higher by finding true happiness inside.  I believe in the natural way without any funky adjustments.

"I know well that happiness is in little things. The source of happiness is within us. I wish you all the joy of being happy!"

"I'm fulfilled in what I do… I never thought that a lot of money or fine clothes – the finer things of life – would make you happy. My concept of happiness is to be filled in a spiritual sense."
    ~.~ Coretta Scott King

Where does our help come from?

• Inspirational books, quotes or speakers
• Singing voices
• Church preachers that motivate

Are you turning off the TV…

For TV lovers maybe it's time to get motivated by some great books, teachers or preachers.  I always aim to be inspired so even online I watch speakers or preachers that lift me up higher.  Pastor Chris Hill has a program called The Higher Level.  He calls 2012 the Year of Promotion.  Now let me introduce you to the wonderful voice and message of Chris Hill found at http://TPHD.org; online broadcasts too. I love it there!

Reflecting and Acting

There are many ways to look for happiness and sometimes in the wrong places. Some join gangs, others read, some get addicted to tv and sports.  Can happiness really be found this way?  I believe it's time to reflect on our happiness channel and see how we are watering and feeding our internal body and mind to find true happiness. Happiness comes from inside–not from people, but our internal choices to find peace within.

Healthy Eating Tips

By: Carol Giambri

To learn healthy tips, and eat healthy, is a priceless gift.  To keep your health is a treasure.  Are you ready to pass on some tips to your friends and family as will be discussed throughout this article?

It's Green Roses–not dyed

Did you know…

Roses are healing with health benefits. I wrote an article about lilacs and roses a short time ago.  Having living plants or flowers are uplifting to your mind and body. Yes, you can add rose petals into a fresh salad. Make sure they are not sprayed petals.  Even low in calories like celery. Not all flowers are edible. 

HINT:  Print out flower here on colored ink and put on your walls.  Can send to Kinko's or OfficeMax and have printed on white paper, 20 or 60 pounds.  Put in frame if you wish.

Flowers are uplifting especially with a nice smell.  They can be like a face lift but really a "smile" lifter placing a song in your heart.

Rose Petals

I wasn't always…

Healthy.  When I was diagnosed with low blood sugar and borderline diabetes I was not the sign of health as I know today.  I got my wake up healthy reality checkup when I would almost faint on the subway many times.  Or, awaken with smothering spells or being dizzy in my own house when I opened my eyes.  

This is not normal…

To wake up feeling like you never slept or seeing the room spin is not my ideal way of waking up but it was my reality.  I found the now deceased Dr. Herman Goodman. He wanted the world to know about Low Blood Sugar. It was like a ministry to him. I met him a few years before he died.  He was around 75 or older when we met. I'm not great on guessing ages. 

I went with my pretty and tasty living foods like the one below.  It's not cooked, but is vegan. I do like vegan meals but not for my dog who loves her organic meats.

The Fresh Organic Salad

Through my own health challenges…

I learned three lessons…

1. The signs…

I was not as healthy as I thought I was.  6 hour blood test for sugar problems proved I did have Low Blood Sugar also known as Hypoglycemia.  The signs were my fainting spells, my dizzy spinning room, my smothering spells and always tired.  But this was ONLY for a short season of my life. Before this I was your full energy person.  I got that back after I lost the signs.

2. Change…

I could have continued to eat the way I was used to eating: pounds of processed food, lots of meat, cereal in boxes, and five pounds of cheese a week with my husband. I choose to change.

Are you feeding your pets healthy? My dog eats healthy and organic.  I would not say she is excited about eating her veggies.  She doesn't have a choice but other than starve.  It doesn't take much time for preparing her foods; she fusses but gets it into her belly even if we have to disguise it.  Nice to have some tricks for her to eat.

3. Start…

Where and how to start is the $64,000 question.  First begin with educating yourself. You can go to your doctor and he will educate you, but he probably will add in some drugs.  His education, unless a holistic doctor, is drug oriented.  Nutritional training is limited in school even with a medical degree.  If any training it was limited hours only.  Drugs would be more of his focus through his education. That means he will suggest drugs and it gets added into your bill.  

Did you know all drugs have side effects? Ask my dog who knows how she almost died by my wrong "yes" to vet prescribed drugs. 

Look at our happy dog

Education can be also gotten from books, magazines, online or classes.  Why wait?  The time is now to begin and then "grow with your own healthy tips" as you bloom." Bloom where planted, but learn from others who have bloomed before you to shorten your learning curve.

Reflecting and acting…

What can you do today and use forever?  How about adding in more fresh fruits and vegetables daily to your eating plan?  Paying for less processed foods!  How about trying a sweet potato not cooked–yes, raw!  They come in different colors, textures and flavors.  Buy two different to compare your likes. 

When the kids get older bring them into the garden to help or borrow some kids who may love gardening and be your helper.

Making Fresh Healthy Baby Food on A Budget

By: Carol Giambri

Are you wondering how can feed your baby and yourself healthy eating fresh clean food?  It does not have to be expensive and can be done on a budget saving money. The good news is that it doesn't have to take a lot of time.  It can be prepared fresh each day or saved for two days in the refrigerator.

Decades ago…

When my kids were young I made their food and we are taking decades back.  I stored them in glass jars and they survived coming out healthy too.  I always loved a back to basics lifestyle so I wanted to find a way to introduce it into the home. 

Gianna (6) and Joshua (1 1/2)

Give me Grapes

Growing up I lived with cans, bags, boxes and tons of breads and cakes. My parents used to read each others minds.  When one thought we needed something the other went to the store too. They both came home realizing they duplicated their efforts of shopping and groceries.  They were never healthy foods.

However some fruits and vegetables were part of my growing up days.  I used to love iceberg lettuce and my brother gave me the name "bunny" cause I ate like one.  Tomatoes and cucumbers made up the salad with the lettuce.  

Leaving behind the processed fast foods… However I have graduated from the days of processed foods and that is how I got to follow through with feeding my kids as much as I can in the natural organic way. When organics were expensive I did my best to selectively buy what I could afford. For example, a pretty and pricey juicer is wonderful but if you can't afford the ingredients to juice, what good is it.

Why make your own…

• Save money.  When others prepare it for you it is more expensive than you doing it yourself even if it doesn't look that way
• More nutritional value. Making your food fresh every day or two doesn't loose as many nutrients as if you bought an item a month ago in a jar.
• Fresh is best.  The enzymes and foods are fresher with more value.
• Simple and fast
• Control the quality without additives or preservatives
• Allergy awareness monitoring your ingredients

You can make delicious foods without cooking very much too.  As long as your digestive system is working well, eating more fresh foods and less cooked should not be a factor.  Even eating more vegan type plant based foods works great.  How about Eggplant with Veggies, or Veggie Balls with Pasta, or Chinese Chow Veggies? Just gotta stretch the imagination, buy books, visit libraries or search online for more ideas.

 

 

Reflecting and Acting…

 

Can you think of how to improve eating healthier and feeding your baby healthier foods too.  Try for yourself one healthy meal a day till you work your way up to three.  Start where you are at, but then improve on your journey. Your baby deserves the best of you and nature's best foods.

Obama's Red, White and Blue Carrot Benefits and Health Cake

By Carol Giambri

What do President Obama's red, white and blue have in common with healthy carrots? The American flag comes in these colors, but are you seeing carrots this way? 

Carrots, Corn and Beans

What do President Obama's red, white and blue have in common with healthy carrots? The American flag comes in these colors, but are you seeing carrots this way? 

When we talk politics or religion some say both don't match.  Here we will talk about the world of carrots.

The Chef is Ready

I bet you heard that carrots are good for your eyes.  Eating orange only or reddish orange?  

Growing your own is fun.  Call in your kid helpers if you have any or round up neighbor kids to help.  Carrots come in different sizes, varieties and shapes.  All are delicious.  Different colors are pretty on your plate. 

Color me red or orange….

• Danvers
• Red Core Chantenay
• Scarlet Nantes

Carrots in package or loose

Color me white…

• Creme De Lite
• White Satin
• Snow White

Color me blue or give me a drink…

I am waiting to find the first blue carrot or seeds to grow my own but not yet. However, I surprised myself and hope you too that there is a Tequila Surprise Carrot.  Imagine that.  What a name too.  Surely for marketing has to get a lot of buyers thinking you will be drinking your carrots and feel like it's a "sunrise" that just hit your head and your heart. 

Health benefits….

Red: reduces degenerative disease, prevents cardiovascular problems, helps prevent the risks of cancers such as prostrate.

White: lots of fiber helps fight against the colon cancer battle

Check with your medical provider on your particular situation.

I bet you have your favorite Carrot Cake recipe. Try red or white carrots, add a nice icing and yum it will be.

Your Red, White and Blue Cake or Pie…

No recipe, friend unknown but thanks to that person. Create your beauty using carrots of many colors.  Get creative.

Slaw it is….

————————————————————————————————————————–

Carrot Slaw – Carol Giambri

• Finely grate 3 large carrots (to start)–organic if possible
  
• Squeeze fresh lemon juice on top–less is best to start
  
• Pinch of salt
  
• Little cold pressed olive oil
  
• optional: Handful of organic raisins (soaked if possible to soften)
  

Mix together

Eat in salad or serve separately as a Carrot Slaw

Enjoy! 

————————————————————————————————————————–

Remember your dog loves raw carrots.  Whole is best for chewing or grated.

Our Molly — the Precious Dog Lover

Reflecting and Acting…

More fresh organic carrots please? They are delicious cooked but fresh is always better if you can digest it.  Next time you are planting seeds or buying carrots see if they come in different colors.  You may be surprised with this teaser.  Bring the kids into the garden to help or borrow some kids who may love gardening and being your helper. Start digging (loving and harvesting) the carrots together!!
