  • Springtime is finally here!  It has been a brutally cold winter and I know I am ready for the warmer weather.  Spring brings warmer weather and longer days but is also associated with fresh young vegetables such as asparagus, leeks and sweet carrots.  Spring vegetables are the highlight of pasta primavera recipes and make great side dishes to lemon chicken and light fish dishes.  Spring is also the season for rhubarb pie and citrus fruits.  Trees and flowers are just beginning to bloom and the fresh scent of earth and greens are in the air!  Spring is my favorite season and as Emily Dickinson was quoted:

    "The sun just touched the morning;
    The morning, happy thing,
    Supposed that he had come to dwell,
    And life would be all spring.”

    Asparagus with Lemon Sauce-adapted from organic kitchen by Ysanne Spivack
    This is a wonderful dish for the spring.  The asparagus boosts your immune system to help detoxify after winter.  The fresh and light taste of the lemon sauce helps bring out the best flavors of the asparagus.

    Serves 4 as a first course or side dish

    Ingredients:
    1 1/2 lbs asparagus, tough ends removed, and tied in a bundle
    1 tablespoon of cornstarch
    2 teaspoons of unrefined sugar or rapadura
    2 egg yolks
    juice of 1 1/2 lemons
    sea salt

    Directions:
    1.  Cook the bundle of asparagus in boiling salted water for 7-10 minutes.
    2.  Drain the asparagus well (reserving about 1 cup of the cooking liquid) and arrange the spears attractively in a serving dish.  Set aside. 
    3.  Blend the cornstarch with the cool reserved cooking liquid and place in a small pan.  Bring to a boil, stirring all the time with a wooden spoon, then cook over a gentile heat until the sauce thickens slightly. Stir in the sugar, then remove the pan from the heat and let cool slightly. 
    4.  Beat the egg yolks thoroughly with the lemon juice and stir gradually into the cooled sauce.  Cook the sauce over a very low heat, stirring all the time, until it thickens.  Be careful not to overheat the sauce or it may curdle.  Once the sauce has thickened, remove the pan from the heat and continue stirring for 1 minute.  Season with salt or sugar if necessary.  Let the sauce cool slightly.
    5.  Stir the cooled lemon sauce, then pour a little over the cooked asparagus.  Cover and chill for at least 2 hours before serving, accompanied with the rest of the lemon sauce. 

    Tips:  If you are vegan/vegetarian you can choose to substitute the egg yolks and make lemon sauce instead with about 1/3 cup unsweetened plain almond milk and increase the thickener to 2 tablespoons of cornstarch or other thickener if desired. 

    Creamy Fettuccini with Peas and Basil-adapted via www.epicurious.com
    This delicious recipe is fairly quick to make and you would not believe your taste buds but it is completely Vegan!  No actual dairy product is used.  When I was first introduced to this recipe, I had no idea they did not use any milk or cheese.   This is a MUST try! 

    Serves 4
    Ingredients:
    3/4 cup oat milk
    1/2 cup cashew butter at room temperature
    1 1/2 teaspoons of Kosher Salt, divided
    1 tablespoon of olive oil
    1 tablespoon of chopped garlic
    1 1/2 cups frozen organic peas, or fresh snow peas
    8 ounces of whole wheat fettuccini or gluten free substitute (Andean Dream Quinoa Products voted one of best)
    1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
    1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

    Directions:
    1.  In a bowl, whisk oat milk, cashew butter and 1/2 teaspoon salt until big lumps disappear.
    2.  In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Cook garlic, stirring, until golden, 1 minute. Stir in milk mixture; reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently, until thick and fragrant, 2 minutes. Stir in peas; turn off heat.
    3.  Cook pasta as directed on package with remaining 1 teaspoon salt until just tender. Drain pasta, reserving 1 cup cooking liquid.
    4.  Heat milk and pea mixture over low heat for 2 minutes. Toss in pasta; add cooking water as needed to thin sauce to desired thickness; toss to thoroughly coat pasta. Garnish with basil and black pepper; serve.

    Roast Chicken with Bread and Arugula Salad-adapted via www.barefootcontessa.com
    This is a recipe where you can make the roasted chicken ahead of time OR you can purchase a chicken already roasted from your local grocery or food store.  I would recommend, as always, you make or purchase an organic roasted chicken.  Brands like Bell and Evans are available in many groceries across the country and internationally as well such as Capestone in the United Kingdom, and Voltigeurs Farm in Canada.   

    Serves 4

    Ingredients:
    1 (4- to 4½-pound) whole organic chicken
    4 sprigs fresh thyme
    2 large garlic cloves, smashed flat
    1 lemon, quartered
    2 teaspoons fine sea salt, plus extra for serving
    ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    3 to 4 (¾-inch-thick) slices country bread
    Good olive oil

    For the Arugula Salad:

    ¼ cup Champagne vinegar
    1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
    1 teaspoon minced garlic
    Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
    ½ cup good olive oil
    ½ cup thinly sliced scallions, white and green parts (3 scallions)
    2 tablespoons dried currants
    6 cups baby arugula, lightly packed (6 to 8 ounces)

    Directions:
    1.  Place the chicken in a baking dish. Using your fingers, gently loosen the skin from the breasts and thighs without breaking the skin. Carefully slide the sprigs of thyme and the garlic under the skin. Put the lemon in the cavity. Tie the legs together and tuck the wings under the body. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of sea salt and the pepper, cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 24 to 48 hours.

    2.  Preheat the oven to 500 degrees. (Be sure your oven is very clean!) Place the bread in a medium (10-inch) cast-iron skillet in a single layer. Brush the chicken with olive oil and place it, breast side up, on top of the bread. Roast for 30 minutes, turn it over and roast for 15 minutes, until the juices run clear when you cut between the leg and the thigh. Wrap the skillet tightly with aluminum foil and allow the chicken to rest at room temperature for a full 30 minutes.  The bread will be almost burnt on the bottom and soft with the pan drippings on top.

    3.  For the Arugula Salad:  Whisk the vinegar, mustard, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper together in a small bowl or glass measuring cup.  Whisk in the olive oil, stir in the scallions and currants.  Place the arugula in a large bowl, add the vinaigrette, and toss well.

    4.  Place the Arugula Salad in a very large, shallow serving platter. Put the chicken and the bread on a cutting board. Cut the bread into 1-inch squares and sprinkle them on the salad. Carve the chicken thickly and place it on top of the salad. Spoon the pan juices over the chicken, sprinkle it with sea salt, and serve warm.

    Pea Protein Continues to Gain Popularity

    3/25/2015

    0 Comments

     
    Picture
    Pea protein has been available for use for several years, however, it has recently gained more attention in the health food and fitness industry.  One reason is because pea protein can be used by vegetarians, vegans or those with restricted diets. It is completely gluten-free, dairy free and soy free. 

    Pea protein comes from yellow peas (Pisum sativum) which is a valuable source of protein.   There is a high proportion of digestable organic matter and ability to metabolize energy if harvested appropriately.  It is easy on the stomach, allergen free and is usually produced without GMO's (Genetically Modified Organisms).  Because pea protein is easily and slowly digested it can help you feel full long after consumption.  Research demonstrates satiety or the feeling of fullness, is associated with the release of certain gastro-intestinal peptides. These peptides stimulate your nervous system to start or stop you from eating.  Higher PYY (peptide YY) levels promoted by pea protein delay gastric emptying and therefore could provide an increase in satiety.    Another peptide, ghrelin, which is primarily secreted by the stomach, helps stimulate your appetite. Studies have shown lower ghrelin levels indicate a delay in the return of your appetite after a meal.  And as pea protein promotes lower levels of ghrelin, the potential for you to feel full could increase.  

    Yellow peas contain essential and non essential amino acids,  which are the building blocks of bodily tissue and muscles.  Yellow peas are high in lysine and arginine,  making pea protein beneficial for active lifestyles. 
    Lysine is not made in the body and must be consumed through the diet.   Lysine is the precursor of carnitine, the molecule which is responsible for converting fatty acids into energy and helping to lower cholesterol.
    Lysine also appears to help absorb calcium and plays an important role in the formation of collagen which is the building block of connective tissue such as bones, cartilage, skin, tendons. It supports the normal growth and development of children and plays a role in the maintenance of a healthy immune system. Lysine deficiency is usually rare in most American diets but strict vegetarians, vegans or elite athletes can be at risk.  A lack of dietary lysine can lead to fatigue, nausea, dizziness, loss of appetite, agitation, bloodshot eyes, slow growth, anemia, and reproductive disorders.  The united states has not set daily individual amino acid requirement levels , however,studies have indicated that the estimated average requirement for lysine for a 70kg human ranges between 800-3000mg/day.

    Yellow pea protein can provide a supplemental source of dietary protein for vegetarians and/or vegans who cannot use animal proteins.   Whey protein, because of its derivation from milk (watery portion of milk that separates from the curds when making cheese), is not consumed by vegans.  Pea protein is a good alternative to whey protein powders for addition to smoothies or drinks for supplemental protein.   There has been recent studies and increasing evidence on the benefits of plant based diets.  Plant based diets  can help reduce the risk of obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes and the risk of early death.  Recent reports from the American Heart Association found that people who received 70 percent or more of their food from vegetables, fruits and whole grains had a 20 percent less risk of dying from heart disease. 

    Pea protein is also great for people who have food allergies to egg, milk and soy-derived protein.  Lactose is a sugar substance in milk and can cause severe allergic reactions such as gastrointestinal side effects like nausea, bloating, diarrhea or vomiting.   Yellow pea protein contains no gluten in comparison to  the wheat protein of other types.  Pea proteins are usually organic and contain very little or no artificial ingredients. 

    My favorite reason for using pea protein as an alternative to whey or soy is that it is more environmentally friendly.  Fewer resources are necessary to cultivate yellow peas thus saving water and other crops.   In addition, the nitrogen that is produced by the peas is returned to the soil and decreases the need for fertilizer. 

    Is there a downside to pea proteins?   Unlike whey proteins,  pea proteins are plant based and do not contain all the amino acids that our body needs to function to its potential.    Therefore, pea protein should be combined with grains, nuts or seeds and for the non vegan/vegetarians you can chose to use animal protein. 
    An example of a combination is making a smoothie with pea protein powder and peanut or almond butter.  Although there are plenty of pea protein supplements out there nothing beats eating the protein in whole food.  You can easily make a hearty soup out of the yellow split peas!   One of my favorite pea protein powders is Swanson certified 100% organic pea protein powder. 

    Enjoy!

    Fat Feet or  Flat Feet?                                                                         Flatfeet in Overweight and Obese Children and Adolescents

    3/12/2015

    0 Comments

     
    Picture
    Rates of childhood obesity have increased more than threefold in the last 30 years according to the American Medical Association (AMA).  The AMA also states, obesity can have both immediate and long-term effects on children’s health, ranging from poor self-esteem, sleep apnea, and asthma, to increased risks for heart disease, high blood pressure, and cancer.  Childhood obesity is also associated with Type II diabetes and an increase in the stress on weight-bearing joints. 

    The good news is that the most recent study from the Center for Disease Control (CDC) related that the prevalence of obesity among children aged 2 to 5 years decreased significantly from 13.9% in 2003-2004 to 8.4% in 2011-2012.   However, in 2011-2012, 8.4% of 2- to 5-year-olds had obesity compared with 17.7% of 6- to 11-year-olds and 20.5% of 12- to 19-year-olds.  This shows that as children have been aging into their teenage and young adult years, they have a higher tendency of being overweight. 

    According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, today approximately 32% of American children and adolescents, ages 2 to 19, are considered overweight or obese.   Excess weight can cause vitamin deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, and increased stress and tension that can affect bone growth and overall musculoskeletal health, causing deformity, pain, and potentially a lifetime of limited mobility and diminished quality of life. 

    There were two studies performed that evaluated the prevalence of flatfoot in overweight children using body mass index.  They were looking to see if these children had different function of their feet or just fatter arches that made them appear lower.  The controlled studies showed that the children who were overweight had lower arches, not just fatter feet, as well as much higher forefoot pressures during walking.   A more recent study performed in 2013 in Israel found there was a greater prevalence of flexible flatfoot among males compared with females in a general, healthy adolescent age group.  Flexible flat foot was associated with increased body mass index and shorter body height for all grades of flexible flatfoot severity. 

    Another study, from the European Journal of Pediatrics published in January of 2013, concluded that excess weight affects the foot structure of children.  The differences they found between age groups appear to indicate that the feet of children with overweight and obesity follow a different growth pattern that that of normal-weight children.  In this study by Jimenez et al, they provided actual and normative date of the foot of schoolchildren by age and BMI.  They studied 1,032 school children, 6-12 years old from different locations in Toledo, Spain.  Their BMI was calculated using height and weight from a standing scale and used their sex to determine their BMI as well according to the classification system proposed by cole et al.  In addition to these findings, the researchers also used 3D measures with a feet digitizer that included four laser projectors and four CCD cameras.   When comparing the measures between overweight and obese children, significant differences were found in the widths, ball height, and arch height for both feet.  Obese children showed larger dimensions of the foot. 

    Overweight and obese children were shown to have larger feet than their normal-weight counterparts throughout growth.  Obese children and overweight children were shown to differ only in the width if their feet.   Another interesting feature of this study was that they found among the age groups there were more significant differences in measures between children with normal-weight, followed by overweight and obese children.  This shows that children with more weight tend to show less change in their feet or the changes are more gradual as they age.  Could excess weight than be a factor in foot development in school-age children?  Several studies, including this one, showed that the most significant change in foot type occurs between ages 7-8 as well as the highest incidence of obesity.  The significance in foot measures between ages 10-12 was much less, showing the developmental structure of the foot stabilizes and there are less changes.  Some researchers have found that the foot of school children from 12 to 13 years is structurally formed at this point and does not change throughout the length of primary school. 


    Children who are overweight or obese often have painful, flat feet that tire easily and prevent them from walking long distances. Many children with flat feet are treated with orthotics and stretching exercises focused on the Achilles tendon (heel cord).  Because weight loss is effective enough to ease the pain of flat feet, low impact weight reduction exercises, such as swimming or cycling may be recommended.

    Children who are overweight or obese must find ways to lose weight.  With help from their parents, pediatricians and teachers school aged children can learn how to eat right and exercise regularly.  Children must have good role models at home.  Parents have to set an example by eating right and exercising.  I have always believed actions speak louder than words.  Just telling your kids to eat better and go exercise, just will not work.  Cook at home with your kids.  Take your kids food shopping and focus on the perimeters of the grocery store.  This is where all the fruits, vegetables, fish and other fresh foods are.  Avoid the aisles in the middle.  If children participate in all aspects of their diet they are likely to continue to eat healthy and even find it fun!  Family days out should include something outdoors or a physical activity such as a 30 minute walk around where you live, or taking a class at your local YMCA.

    How to Prevent 'Morning Breath' and Finally Cure Noticeably Bad Breath ---Interview with Dr. Justin Rashbaum, D.M.D

    3/7/2015

    0 Comments

     
    PictureDr. Justin Rashbaum Website: http://www.drrashbaum.com/
    Dr. Justin Rashbaum is a cosmetic dentist in NYC and a spokesperson on QVC for Supersmile Whitening System.   His breath is also in good standing!

















    Since publishing Dr. Suz Heals Blog less than four months ago, I have had several followers contact me in regards to oral health and hygiene.  It has always been my belief and opinion that oral health is the window to your overall health.  One topic that seems to come up frequently is how to overcome bad breath.  Many people are embarrassed to discuss this with their family or friends.  Dr. Justin Rashbaum is  an expert in cosmetic and general dentistry in New York City.  He has provided Dr. Suz Heals and our readers with expert advice on the causes of bad breath and tips on how to treat and cure it. 

    Dr. Suz Heals:  What are the most common causes of bad breath?

    Dr. Justin Rashbaum:  The most common cause of bad breath is bacteria.  When bacterial flora in the mouth favors the predominance of bad bacteria over good bacteria, those bacteria give off toxins that result in bad breath, also known as halitosis.  



    Dr. Suz Heals:  What are some great preventive measures to combat this unsavory bacteria?

    Dr. Justin Rashbaum:  The oral cavity is equipped with a vast array of proteins to target this bacteria. How does it do that? Saliva!  Saliva is not just a lubricant to help in eating but also protects the oral cavity from harmful bacteria in the form of combative proteins. Ever wonder why we have the term "morning breath"? Your saliva flow is markedly lower at night while you sleep, which allows bacteria to grow.  
    However, saliva also acts as a pellicle to coat the teeth, for which other materials and organisms can adhere.  If you ever wonder why the elderly have "old people breath", a part of it is that as we age, salivary flow diminishes (xerostomia).  Those bad bacteria proliferate over the good bacteria.  Common ways to combat these are salivary activating products like Biotene rinses and chewing gums.  More apparent forms of bad breath such as tooth decay and tartar (bridged bacteria that adheres to the teeth, also known as calculus) can be treated by visiting the dentist routinely.  


    Dr. Suz Heals: Besides the elderly, who may be predisposed to having bad breath? 

    Dr. Justin Rashbaum:  People that have GERD are prone to burping, whose emitted gas, is not necessarily an aphrodisiac!   Also, people on low carbohydrate diets, although great for losing weight, cause ketosis, which causes the body to burn fat deposits and can produce bad breath.  Also, people with highly exaggerated tonsillar formation can have folds that harbor bacterial deposits.

    Obviously, certain foods such as garlic and onions, and certain medications, can cause unsavory breath but follow your oral hygiene regimen and this will be of limited concern.  

    Dr. Suz Heals:  What is the most common place for tartar to form?

    Dr. Justin Rashbaum:  The most common place for tartar to form is in the backs of the lower front teeth due to a salivary duct that opens up in that area.  Anywhere a salivary duct opens up is most prone to calcifying and the ability for bacteria to bridge together.  If you see tartar forming there, it is time to go to the dentist, as a toothbrush alone will not remove bridged tartar.  



    Dr. Suz Heals:  In your opinion, what is the BEST way to prevent bad breath?

    Dr. Justin Rashbaum:  The best way to prevent bad breath is to see the dentist regularly.  And I don’t mean every six months.  It kills me that people have come to assume you should see the dentist every six months.  You know why people have grown accustomed to believing that? Because that's the frequency insurance companies will pay for.  For people in stable periodontal condition, I believe visiting the dentist three times a year is sufficient.  However, for patients who have gingival recession, deeper gum pockets, a significant number of dental restorations, a history of poor plaque and tartar control, gingival bleeding and other dental issues, that frequency might need to be increased to four or five times a year.  This is until the patient is in a more stable situation where three times a year may suffice.



    Dr. Suz Heals:  When is it time for someone to seek care for their noticeable bad breath?

    Dr. Justin Rashbaum: Unfortunately, it is difficult  to know when to seek care for chronic and noticeable bad breath.   Most people will refrain from telling you for fear of your feelings being hurt.  The best way to solve this problem is to visit the dentist routinely with no lapses in care. Period.  The professional staff has nothing to lose by telling you the truth. You should know they are only there for your benefit.  Hygienists, I can tell you, have a strong sense of pride when they see one of their patients improve their oral appearance from a hygienic standpoint.  

    Dr. Suz Heals:  Can you please give our audience some healthy and inexpensive at home tips to keep help cure their bad breath?

    Dr. Justin Rashbaum:  I recommend chewing oral probiotics daily, such as EvoraPlus to favor the positive oral bacterial flora over the noxious kinds.  I recommend using alcohol free mouth rinses because the presence of alcohol in rinses can actually contribute to an increase in harmful bacteria. Such is the case for Listerine which is now coming out with its alcohol free Listerine Zero!  Even moderating your consumption of alcohol is a good start!  B
    ad breath can be a combination of many factors and it takes a comprehensive approach to treat bad breath accordingly.



    The Super Smile System is a highly proven whitening toothpaste system developed by the Father of Aesthetic Dentistry, Dr. Irwin Smigel.  This uses a proprietary ingredient called Calprox to non abrasively remove stains from teeth and prosthetic surfaces.

    Dr. Suz Heals Interviews the President and Founder of the   LifeVac

    3/3/2015

    Picture
    Recently, I was fortunate enough to interview the president and founder of LifeVac,  Arthur Lih.  Arthur had a vision for LifeVac after hearing of a woman in a hospital weeping following the death of her young son.   According to Arthur Lih,  two children passed away in the last few days,  4000 people a year choke to death and one child chokes to death every 5 days.  Choking is the 4th leading cause of accidental death and a leading cause of death under the age of 14 and over 65.  These deaths are no longer acceptable and for the first time ever there is a solution. 

    Interview with LifeVac Founder Arthur Lih:


    Dr. Suz Heals:  Tell us about your background both personal and your career

    Arthur Lih:
     
    I grew up and live in Massapequa NY with my wife Lee-Ann and 10 year old daughter Jacquelyn.  I worked in the transportation and logistics field for the past 33 years.   I co-owned my own freight company for 18 years and we sold it  3 years ago when I began phasing into retirement.   These past three years I have spent working on the LifeVac and bringing it to more people in order to save lives.   This has been my purpose and passion for the past three years!

    Dr. Suz Heals:  Can you please explain to us what the LifeVac is?

    Arthur Lih:   LifeVac is a single use portable suction apparatus that can be used to save the life of a person choking after protocol has failed.

    Dr. Suz Heals:  What was the inspiration behind creating the LifeVac?

    Arthur Lih:   I was inspired to invent lifevac after hearing of a child who was 7, the same age as my daughter at the time.  The child choked to death on a grape.  I was determined to protect my daughter. After researching and finding out how common it is as a cause of death,  I persevered to make it first to protect her, than to take it through to production and help others. 

    Dr. Suz Heals:  Where is can we find the LifeVac in use?

    Arthur Lih:   LifeVac is currently in hundreds of homes, some schools, restaurants, EMT,  police and assisted living facilities.  My passion is our school system, we documented 3 deaths last year and 20 over the last several years. 

    Dr. Suz Heals:  That is AMAZING and you sound extremely passionate about what you do.  How is the LifeVac used?

    
    Arthur Lih:   LifeVac is a simple to use BLS apparatus.  The mask is placed over the victum after protocol has failed.   It is compressed and  the patented vale prevents the object from being forced down.  The handle is quickly lifted to dislodge the object.   The force is approximately  three times that of a cough, volume of air is minimal so it is safe and effective.
