HEART HEALTH VITAMIN C

As I get older the wrinkles are showing up and my skin seems a little
dryer. It takes up time to put lotion on and money for those "wrinkle"
lotions and potions.
So this tip is very helpful for me.
"A study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that people
who ate foods rich in Vitamin C had fewer wrinkles and less age related
dry skin than those who had a diet low in Vitamin C."
 It is also very heart healthy, helping your arteries work efficiently
and not clog up so much. You know the old saying: "An apple a day keeps
the doctor away!"
If sugar is an issue you may not want to eat much fruit. Broccoli and
spinach are also rich in vitamin C as well as most dark green leafy
vegetables.

Spring into Spring

Hope everyone out there is having a successful "spring" get in shape
time.
I have made some magnets to remind everybody to eat what is good for
you.
You can purchase them for yourself or anybody that you think will
appreciate them.

For $2.00 including postage and tax.  it is a good motivator. Makes you think before you eat.
  My goal is to raise money to help a friend's son that has a very rare form of Leukemia. The medical cost are astronomical so I want to help.

This week we have a healthy recipe. 
Hummus is great for dipping vegetables and even spreading on a sandwich
instead of mayo or mustard. Give a great protein boost.
I use organic Garbanzo Beans and Organic Edamame
2 cups Garbanzo Beans
1 Cup Frozen Edamame (thawed)
1 tablespoon Tahani Paste
2 teaspoon lemon juice
Pepper or cayenne to taste
Put all above in food processor. Pulse until blended.  Stream in 2
Tablespoons Olive Oil and then add enough lukewarm water until your
desired consistency. (I usually use about 1/3 to 1/2 cup.)
Put in 1/2 cup containers so you can grab and go in the morning.  Makes
a great lunch or afternoon snack. This makes enough for 1 serving per
day for about 5-6 days.
Enjoy!!
