Simple healthy snacks to take to work

How is everyone? today I have some tips on snacks to take to work.

Morning and afternoon tea breaks are a good time to top up our energy levels

but many of us make the mistake of reaching for a bar of chocolate or a muffin.

These tend to make our blood sugar levels rise quickly before falling even

lower, leaving us feeling more tired. If you need something sweet, try

taking a small bag of dried fruit to work, try apricots, apple, figs and dates

mix with a few unsalted nuts for a really satisfying snack. You could prepare

a fresh fruit salad the night before try bite size pieces of grapes,

strawberries, blueberries, kiwi and melon are all delicious and refreshing

to have. Don't forget veggies dipping chopped carrots in a small tub of

hummus will see you through the rest of the afternoon.

A great healthy eating recipe site to visit

Healthy eating I just it love I have so much energy.

I just found this site and it has so many great recipes.

I just had to tell you about it here is one of the many recipes

at www.simplyrecipes.com

I'm re posting this recipe from the archive because it's a great Lenten dish, and if you haven't yet tried it, I highly recommend it. Also, we celebrated mom's birthday today and didn't cook, went out instead. She's 73! ~Elise

Canned tuna has never tasted this good. I came across this recipe on Sher's What did you eat? blog, where she got it from the San Francisco Chronicle. You make a sauce for the pasta with tuna, olive oil, garlic, and chile pepper flakes. When the pasta is done mix it in with the sauce and add fresh arugula which will wilt with the heat of the sauce and pasta. If you don't have arugula, you can probably substitute fresh spinach to a similar effect. Quick, easy, and surprisingly delicious.

The recipe calls for tuna packed in olive oil. This is pretty important. If all you have is tuna packed in water, drain the tuna and let it soak in olive oil for an hour before using.

• 1 pound dried fettuccine, spaghetti or linguine (use gluten-free pasta for gluten-free version)
• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 2 large garlic cloves, or more to taste, finely minced
• Generous pinch hot red pepper flakes
• 2 6-ounce cans tuna packed in olive oil, drained
• Kosher salt
• 1/2 to 3/4 pound baby arugula

1 Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and boil until all
fettuccini-tuna-arugula-

2 While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet on medium-low heat. Add the garlic and hot pepper flakes and cook until garlic is fragrant and sizzling. Add tuna and shred it into fine flakes with a fork. Season with salt. Keep warm over low heat.

3 Just before the pasta is ready, set aside 1 cup of boiling water. Drain pasta and return it to the warm pot set over moderate heat. Depending on the size of your pot and skillet, either add the arugula and the tuna mixture to the pasta in the pasta pot, or add the drained pasta to the skillet with the tuna mixture and add the arugula. Toss vigorously with tongs, moistening with some of the reserved pasta water. The arugula will wilt in the heat of the pasta. Divide among warm bowls and serve immediately.

Serves 4.

Eating Grapfruit the benefits

How are you merry lot today I have got a bit of advice for you about
grapefruit, which may be of interest to you. I myself can see the
healthy eating benefits of it. I am going to have one right after I log off.

Eating grapefruit the pulp ( but not the juice) contains a substance that
lowers blood cholesterol and helps to clear clogged arteries.
It contains ant-cancer substances that are particularly protective
against stomach and pancreatic cancer. The juice is antiviral and
high in various antioxidants, especially vitamin C.

Fish Oil: Let Omega 3 Lift Your Depression
Posted by Michael Byrd on Mar 13 2008 Tagged as: Fish Oil
If you’re depressed you know that your life just doesn’t feel right. You may
not get excited about things; even colors don’t seem as bright. The best
thing you can do to get yourself out of depression is to take action.
One of the best actions you can take is to start fish oil supplementation.
There are loads of studies that show the effect fish oil can have on depression.
The results are clear; fatty acids have the ability to make you whole again.
Now, some of you may be on medication from your doctor. Never stop taking
those without his or her advice. However, your goal should be to get to a place
where you don’t have to rely on such medicines to relieve depression.
If you start eating a balanced diet, complete with fish oil you’re a lot more
likely to make it on your own. There is always hope. Fish oil can be the light
at the end of the tunnel that you’ve been looking for. Never settle for
second best.
When it comes to your life, there is no reason to take any chances. If you’ve
tried everything you can to get out of your depression, take fish oil.
If you’ve tried absolutely nothing to get out of your depression, take fish oil.
No matter what your circumstance, fish oil can life you out of this awful state.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Although St. Patrick's Day is considered more of a drinking holiday than an eating holiday, best to fill up those bellies before hitting the local pub! I've compiled a few Irish vegetarian and vegan recipes in honor of St. Patrick, including a vegetarian version of a pub favorite, vegetarian beef and Guiness stew (pictured). I also recommend the vegan Irish whiskey cake.
