Nuts and your heart: Eating nuts for heart health
Eating nuts as part of a healthy diet can be good for your heart.
Nuts, which contain unsaturated fatty acids and other nutrients, are
a great snack food for many reasons. They're inexpensive, easy to
store, and easy to take with you to work or school, they are a fast
and convenient snack to grab on the go.
The type of nut you eat isn't that important, although some nuts
have more heart-healthy nutrients and fats than others. Walnuts,
almonds, hazelnuts, you name it, almost every
type of nut has a lot of nutrition packed into
a tiny package.
If you have heart disease, eating nuts instead
of a less healthy snack can help you easily enjoy
a more heart-healthy diet.
Halloween History
Halloween dates back to an ancient fall festival celebrated
by the Druids in Ireland, Great Britain, and Northern
France. They would gather around a bonfire and don
animal heads and skins, the precursor to our masks and
costumes. After the invasion of Britain by the Romans in
43 A.C.E., the festival was merged with two Roman
celebrations, Feralia -- a late October commemoration of
the passing of the dead -- and the day to honor Pomona, the
goddess of fruit and trees, whose symbol was the apple.
This led to the tradition of bobbing for apples on
Halloween. Jack o' lanterns were first carved out of beets
and turnips in Ireland as representations of dead souls.

the best. steak is good or if you just want the sushi get the

Foods to Improve Your Mood
We've heard the expression “you are what you eat.” So if you find yourself
cranky, tired and even clinically depressed, you may be able to boost your
mood by changing what you eat and when you eat. Nutritionist Joy Bauer
explains how to do it.
If you find yourself cranky, irritable and quick to snap at friends, family and
coworkers, a better eating plan may be just what you need! The following
strategies will stabilize your blood sugars and hopefully level out your mood.
Strategies to control blood sugars

brain and body with a constant source of fuel. This 4-5 hour eating strategy
can dramatically prevent dips in your blood sugar levels. Some people with
diagnosed hypoglycemia may need to eat even more frequently (every
2-3 hours).
Limit refined carbohydrates to help lessen volatile blood sugar swings:
Concentrated sources of sugar like soda, candy, fruit juice, jam and syrup
can create radical spikes (and drops) in your blood sugar, which leaves you
feeling cranky and tired. And although refined, white starch like white bread,
crackers, bagels and rice do not naturally contain sugar compounds, they are
metabolized into sugar very quickly and can often create the same effect.
Quote of The Month

Then you have to learn to play better than

Instead include high-quality carbohydrates, such as vegetables, fruit, beans,
peas, lentils, brown and wild rice and oatmeal.
Incorporate soluble fiber: Foods rich in soluble fiber have the ability to slow
down the absorption of sugar in your blood and therefore, potentially lessen
blood sugar and mood swings. Incorporate oats, brown rice, barley, apples,
pears, strawberries, oranges, sweet potatoes, carrots, peas and beans into
your diet.
Pumpkin Bread
Try this delicious and easy recipe for a seasonal
favorite:
2-3/4 cup sugar
3-1/2 cups flour
1 cup shortening 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups pumpkin
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon (each) cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg & allspice
1 cup (each) raisins and chopped walnuts
In large bowl, cream together sugar, shortening, eggs and
pumpkin until well blended. Mix in the remaining
ingredients. Pour into two 9" by 5" loaf pans lined (on just
the bottoms) with waxed paper. Bake at 325° for 1-1/2
hours or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted
in the center.
