Plant-based Mushroom Burger Recipe – Vegetarian

Nancy Addison — Sun, 03 Sep 2023 16:41:38 +0000

It is National Mushroom Month!

Many of you may be cooking outdoors this month. This is a great vegan/vegetarian version to serve plant-based diners. I used to take a portobello mushroom with me whenever I went to cookouts and I wanted to have something plant-based to eat with everyone. I have made this for many non-vegetarian Texans with great success, much to their surprise!

This was one of Larry Hagman’s (also known as J. R. Ewing, in the television show “Dallas”) favorite meals. I would make this for him when I was his chef & nutritionist, when he had throat cancer and diabetes. I had him on a very strict healthy diet, and I would serve this to him when he was craving something “meaty,” like a hamburger.

Mushrooms are nutrient-dense and have less calories than meat. They have also been found to prevent cancer.

According to a study conducted by The University of Western Australia in Perth, eating mushrooms daily may reduce breast cancer risk by nearly two thirds.

The study, conducted in China, looked at more than 2000 women, half of whom had suffered from breast cancer. Researchers found that the women who ate a third of an ounce of fresh mushrooms every day had lowered their risk of developing a tumor by 64 percent.(1)

Dried mushrooms didn’t have quite the same benefit, but still reduced the risk “by around half.”(2)

It is certainly great to have the reinforcement of knowledge that mushrooms are such a healthy food.

Portobello mushrooms contain a variety of B-complex vitamins (including vitamin B6, thiamine, and folate), are an excellent source of riboflavin, pantothenic acid, and niacin, as well as a very good source of thiamine. Protein (complex amino acids), selenium, lysine, zinc, copper , manganese, and iron are some additional benefits of eating this mushroom.

Portobello mushrooms are a great alternative to meat, because of their meaty texture and flavor.

The quantities in this recipe are enough for one person.

Ingredients:

1 large portobello mushroom

3 T. organic coconut liquid amino sauce or teriyaki sauce

1 whole, sprouted-grain hamburger bun or bread (I love the Ezekiel 4:9® Sprouted Whole Grain Sesame Burger Buns)

¼ cup sliced goat cheese (from goats that are grass-fed and humanely-raised, or you can use a vegan goat cheese)

Directions:

1. Brush off the mushroom and remove the stem. (Save the stem to cut up and use in a stir-fry or pasta dish later.)

2. Soak the mushroom in your choice of sauce for at least five minutes (although 30 minutes is even better).

3. Grill, or bake at 350°F, just until thoroughly warm, making sure it is moist with the amino sauce or teriyaki sauce.

4. Warm or toast bun.

5. Place the goat cheese (if using) on top of mushroom and leave in oven just a couple of minutes to soften the cheese.

6. Remove mushroom from grill or oven and place on bun.

7. Serve immediately.

Variations:

1. For a vegan version, you can use sliced avocado instead of goat cheese. It’s a really delicious addition to this sandwich.

2. You can add a few leaves of romaine lettuce, or tomato slices, or onion, but I found it is simply delicious just with the goat cheese.

Cook And Prepare Organic Beans A Healthier Way

Nancy Addison — Wed, 31 Jul 2019 12:51:23 +0000

Beans are actually seeds from flowering plants in the Fabaceae family. These seeds are classified as legumes. The health benefits of legumes, which most of us know as beans, peas, or lentils, are that they are high in fiber, amino acids (which are the chemicals that combine to create protein), folate (Vitamin B9), zinc, iron, and magnesium.

The health benefits of this type of plant-based food are many. When beans are rich in color, then they are high in antioxidants as well, because the antioxidants are in the color pigment. Black beans have the highest amount of antioxidants. Beans have also been shown to reduce the risk of cancer. Beans can also help stabilize blood glucose levels, because of the high fiber content, which makes them a great food for diabetics. In addition to those postivie health benefits, “people who consume beans may be less likely to die of a heart attack, stroke, or other cardiovascular health problem.” They have also been shown to help lower cholesterol levels naturally.

Beans are highly nutritious when prepared properly. This recipe is vegan and gluten-free. Always buy certified organic, non-GMO beans for the most nutrition and health benefits.

Beans are inexpensive and easy to store. Store uncooked, raw beans in a dark, cool, dry place. Beans are easy to freeze and thaw, so make a large batch and freeze some in small glass freezer to oven containers to use later. Beans are one of my favorite things to add to salads, a stir-fry, or have as a side dish with soup or bread.

Note that one pound of dried beans will yield about 5–6 cups cooked beans.

The optional seaweed in this recipe adds nutrients and helps make beans more digestible.

Ingredients:

1 lb. dried beans (any variety)

Pure water, plus more for soaking and cooking

1 tsp. pure coconut oil

2-inch piece seaweed (optional)

unrefined sea salt to taste

Directions:

Check beans and discard any that are shriveled or discolored. Also, make sure there are no little stones or foreign matter mixed in with the beans.
Sprout the beans, so they are more digestible. Beans have phytic acid that prevents them from being digested easily. Sprouting the beans makes them more nutritious as well as easier to digest.

Soak beans overnight or for a couple of days (depending on size of bean. Large beans need to soak at least 2 or 3 days to sprout.) in pure water. Make sure the dish is large enough for beans to double or triple in size and can hold enough water to cover them by at least two inches. Check them each day and add more water as needed. When you see a tiny split or sprout, they are ready to cook.

Discard the water the beans were sprouted in.
Put the sprouted beans in a large pot and fill with enough new, purified water to cover the beans by about two  Add salt, coconut oil and seaweed, if using. Bring water to a boil.
Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook beans until tender, 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of beans. Larger beans will take longer. Add more water if it gets too low and the tops of beans are showing.
Remove from heat and they are ready to eat.

Variation: Add a little extra virgin, pure coconut oil for additional richness.

Grilling Tips

Nancy Addison — Mon, 03 Jul 2017 12:39:45 +0000

As you fire up your barbecue grill for the Fourth of July, Labor Day, or other fun weekend get-togethers this summer, it is important to know a few tips to protect you and your friends and family from the potentially dangerous chemicals that grilling your meat can create.

Grilling, frying, broiling, (and other cooking methods that expose meat to extremely high temperatures), “creates potential cancer-causing compounds called heterocyclic amines (HCAs).

This is especially true when the meat is charred or overcooked. Moreover, when fat drips on the heat source, the plumes of smoke can coat meat with other dangerous chemicals.

The worst offenders are fatty, well-done beef, pork and lamb, but even poultry and fish produce HCAs when seared.”(1)

If you love grilling, here are a few ways to reduce the dangers:
• Buy lean types of meat and trim off all visible fat.
• “Marinate meat. Researchers have found that this can decrease HCAs by more than 90 percent. Use combinations of beer, cider, vinegar, citrus juices, mustard, herbs, and brown sugar.”(2)
• Precook meat in an oven, and then finish on the grill.
•Try using a lower heat. Don’t put the meat right over the fire. Put the meat to the side of the grill where the heat isn’t as hot.
• Turn the meat more frequently, and grill the meat just until it is cooked and safe to eat. Don’t cook it until it is charred. You can use a meat thermometer to check and make sure it is done.
• Avoid breathing in smoke, which also has risks.
• Veggie burgers, seitan (a protein-rich food made of wheat gluten, used as a meat substitute in vegetarian dishes), Portobello mushrooms and vegetables have little or no formation of HCA’s when grilled.

Try going vegetarian once in a while!
It tastes good, and is good for you!

Detox Salad Recipe

Nancy Addison — Tue, 29 Dec 2015 23:35:59 +0000

I hope you have had a fabulous and magical holiday with your family and friends!

This is one of our favorite salads to eat, especially after holidays of rich, heavy meals. Many of my clients have made it and loved it. Now, I’m documenting it here so you can refer back to this recipe over and over again! If you haven’t tried it, it is a must!

I call it a detox salad because it contains a very detoxifying green leafy herb called cilantro and the spice turmeric.

Cilantro can help the body rid itself of heavy metals. We get metal toxins in our bodies from a variety of places including dental fillings, aluminum deodorant, the aluminum foil we use in food preparation and storage, vaccinations, cadmium from secondhand smoke, and polluted air. Metal toxins are harder to rid our bodies of than other toxins, but cilantro is highly effective in helping the body detox them. Cilantro is also a good source of dietary fiber and iron, magnesium and manganese. I love the light flavor it adds to my salad mix and this is a great way to add it to your food!

This salad also contains the spice turmeric, which is anti-inflammatory, increases liver function, is detoxifying, and can help regulate blood sugar. Tumeric works 1000 times better if it is combined with some oil and black pepper, so having it in a salad is wonderfully healthy!

My daughter, Amanda, and I like to add greens to almost all of our recipes. It makes them healthier and lighter. If we are having a rice or pasta dish, when it’s warm and ready to serve, just combine it with salad greens. It is so easy and absolutely delicious!

Ingredients:

1 c. romaine lettuce, torn into bite-sized pieces
1 c. cilantro, chopped
1 red pepper, seeded and chopped
1/2 c. chopped tomato
1 ½ or 2 c. warm, sprouted and cooked green lentils
1 tsp. minced red onion
1 avocado, pitted, peeled and chopped into chunks
2 T. extra virgin olive oil
¼ tsp. curry powder
¼ tsp. turmeric
unrefined sea salt to taste
fresh ground pepper to taste

Directions: Combine all ingredients well and enjoy!

Note: This is also a salad you can enjoy warm or make ahead of time and store in the fridge for a few days, I love it when the flavors have a chance to meld together. Just remember to chop the avocado later right before serving.

Variation: You can substitute beans for the lentils.

This recipe makes one to two servings.

Making Healthier Holiday Foods This Season!

Nancy Addison — Sat, 21 Nov 2015 03:20:07 +0000

I love the tradition of sharing a meal with family and friends on an annual basis. For this reason, Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays.

The American Thanksgiving is a traditional meal inspired by the pilgrims. The original feast was probably shared sometime in the fall, possibly in October, with the Wampanoag first nation’s people. Thanksgiving did not become an annual federal holiday until 1941, and what we have come to know as our traditional meal of turkey and fixings has evolved over time.

Thanksgiving often involves a number of rich, savory foods, creamy dips and fried foods. And yet, these foods don’t always make our body feel at it’s best. So, here are a few ingredient or food choice tips that can make our dishes healthier to share with beloved family and friends.

When making or serving snacks, dips can be a healthy high protein hummus or guacamole. Cutting some cucumber, red bell pepper or celery to use as the dipping chips is a great choice! If you want to serve crackers or chips, try using a whole grain, sprouted, organic version.

A potato dish can be made with sweet or purple potatoes in place of white potatoes. Use a high quality, organic butter or use organic ghee or coconut oil as the healthy fat to mix into it when mashing them up to cook or to cut up and bake as fries. Sweet potatoes are delicious and high in fiber and beta-carotene.

When preparing a turkey, try using a little orange juice and coconut oil to add moisture to the turkey, and try baking it instead of frying it. If you are baking, frying or sautéing anything, use organic, pure coconut oil in place of lard, vegetable oil or a trans fat like Crisco. It handles heat well and has fantastic health benefits.

For other types of animal, fish or fowl, you can grill, broil, or sauté them in a little coconut oil. After you remove it from the heat, you can drizzle some pure, organic, extra virgin olive oil on it and serve with lemon juice or a lemon juice vinaigrette. When dining, choose skinless, white meat pieces and then add just a tiny bit of gravy.

For a healthy stuffing, try making one with organic sprouted rice or even wild rice. Then, bake your stuffing in a separate dish instead of cooking it inside the turkey where it can absorb a high amount of high saturated fat from the meat.

When making corn bread stuffing, purchase the non-GMO, organic cornmeal (which is free of the bT toxin). If you are feeling brave, try using blue cornmeal which is about 30 percent higher in protein and has more zinc and iron than white or yellow corn

Now for dessert, try making a pumpkin pie! You can make a whole sprouted grain crust yourself or you can find a whole grain ready-made crust at the store, and make my cashew crème recipe as the whipped cream for the topping.

Try using non-dairy milk in your recipes or for your coffee creamer.
If you want it to be sweeter, blend the milk (like the unsweetened, vanilla coconut or hemp milk) with a little extra added vanilla or maple extract in a blender and add some pitted dates (I soak them in water to make them softer, so they will crème up easier) and voilà! You have a healthier version of a sweet, holiday creamer for your coffee or desserts.

For snacks, try serving combinations of organic, sprouted nuts, sprouted seeds and raisins.

With these ingredient substitutions, you can still eat all the delicious flavors you love while enjoying a number of health benefits.

In this way, you can feel and look your best as holiday activities continue on into December. Instead of regretting what you ate, you will glow with radiant health as you welcome the New Year of 2016!

The Magic Of Enzymes!

Nancy Addison — Sat, 05 Sep 2015 00:44:05 +0000

The Magic Of Enzymes! It’s all about energy!

Live enzymes in food play a crucial role in our health because we have a limited supply of digestive enzymes in our system.

When we are young, we have a natural abundance of enzymes. By the time we are elderly, we have lost over half of our enzymes. When our enzymes are gone, we die.

Making new ones becomes more and more difficult, if not impossible.

Eating certain foods like meats, not properly chewing our food, exposure to pathogenic microbes, and chewing gum all make our body utilize more of our digestive enzymes and deplete the amount we have to use.

(Do you chew gum? Why would this matter? Well, chewing gum is a waste of your precious enzymes, because you are not consuming and not needing to digest any food and you are using up your limited number of enzymes!)

According to Dr. Howell, our digestive system is only able to digest about half of the food we eat.[1] A raw apple that has not been irradiated (which destroys the enzymes) contains enough live enzymes to break down about 40–60 percent of the apple when it is consumed. Our body has to produce the enzymes or acid to complete the digestion process.

Cooked food, on the other hand, has no living enzymes in it to help the body digest it. Therefore, the body is forced to use its precious supply of digestive enzymes to break down the food and utilize the nutrients. This causes stress on the digestive system, the pancreas, and the immune system.

In his book Enzyme Nutrition, Dr. Howell said, “We know that decreased enzyme levels are found in a number of chronic ailments, such as allergies, skin disease, and even serious diseases like diabetes and other severe diseases.”[2]

An interesting observation I made, when I was in Brazil, at John of God’s Casa last month, was that I met many people with cancer, who had gone there seeking to be healed. Not from nutrition.

What I found interesting is that there was a very high number of the people who had cancer, also chewed gum. This gum chewing depleted their precious enzymes.

In his studies, Dr. Howell found that rats fed a raw, living food diet lived about 50 percent longer than rats that ate cooked food.

His studies with people in a sanitarium led him to conclude it was “impossible to get people fat on raw foods. . . regardless of the calorie intake.”[3] Along with that conclusion, Dr. Anthony Cheung, FRCP, noted:

Dr. Howell’s use of food enzymes suggests that the supply of human enzymes is limited at birth. The faster we consume our enzymes, the shorter our life span will be.

Raw food and/or living food (which is food that is not processed and/or cooked over 115 -118 degrees) is a good source of food enzymes. Ingestion of raw food or enzyme supplements will lessen the work of our digestive system, so that more energy is reserved for other metabolic activities.[4]

Raw and/or Living Food has live enzymes in it.

This study that follows, using cats as the subject of the study, is quite interesting:

The Pottinger Cat Study was an extensive, 10-year study of approximately 900 cats. Conducted by Dr. Francis Pottinger, the study examined the effects of raw food versus cooked food on the health and well-being of two groups of cats.

One group was fed a diet of raw meat and milk (which naturally contained live enzymes and probiotics), and the other group was given cooked meat and pasteurized milk (whose enzymes and probiotic nature had been destroyed with heat).

Dr. Pottinger found the cats eating raw food remained healthy and disease-free for generation after generation. But the cats on the cooked food diet started to get lazy and have degenerative diseases. The second generation of cats on the cooked food diet developed mid-life degenerative diseases.

Cats in the third generation of the cooked-food diet developed diseases, blindness, shorter lifespans, and infertility.

That’s Food For Thought!

Natural Ways To Help With Menopause Symptoms

Nancy Addison — Tue, 10 Mar 2015 16:47:37 +0000

Today Nancy Addison talked with Lisa Pineiro about natural ways to help with menopause symptoms on The Broadcast.

Natural Aids For Helping Deal

With Symptoms

As A Result Of Menopause

Menopause is not a disease or illness; it is a natural event as a result of hormonal change as we age.

The following are general symptoms of menopause:

Irregular periods
Hot flashes — flushing of face and chest; may be accompanied by heart palpitations, dizziness, headaches
Night sweats
Cold hands and feet
Vaginal dryness
Insomnia
Mood changes — depression, irritability, tension (usually happens with sleep problems)
Gain in abdominal fat
depression

I did a segment on The Broadcast on KTXD-TV about menopause.

Here is the link to watch my (Nancy Addison) segment about Menopause on The Broadcast.

Preventive Care

Eat a well-balanced diet high in fresh fruits and vegetables. Eating a healthy, well balanced diet can help you reduce the risks and discomforts associated with menopause. A diet low in saturated animal fat can help reduce your risk of heart disease by providing the following benefits:

Lower LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and triglycerides (fats in the blood)
Lower blood pressure
Maintain a healthy weight

Soy- Avoid soy products. Some evidence suggests that eating soy-based foods such as tofu might help reduce certain symptoms of menopause, including hot flashes. I don’t recommend them because eating soy can cause severe thyroid problems.

Get regular exercise– the benefits of exercise include:

Keeping bones strong and warding off osteoporosis through weight bearing exercise, such as walking
Reducing hot flashes
Boosting mood
Enhancing memory and concentration
Lowering cholesterol

Nancy’s Favorite Helpful Supplements

Make sure you have adequate amounts of Omega 3’s and Vitamin D

Text Nancy – 214-202-9243 to discuss your situation.

Mood – 5 HTP and L Theanine
Herbs – Black Cohosh, pycnogenol, red clover and Asian Ginseng- Make sure to check with your doctor before taking herbs. They can interact with medical prescriptions.

Nancy Addison’s Favorite, Gluten-free Cornbread Recipe

Nancy Addison — Fri, 24 Oct 2014 18:32:29 +0000

When my children were growing up, I loved to make them fresh bread at least once a week. I would time my baking so that it was ready, right when they walked in the door from school. Their friends still talk about how great our home smelled.

Smell is one of our strongest senses and it invokes all kinds of memories and feelings. That is one of the reasons we crave certain foods at various times. When we smell or eat these certain foods, it gives us that feeling of comfort we may have felt at a special time in our life.

Well, the State Fair of Texas was here these last few weeks. For all of you that don’t know what it is, the State Fair of Texas is a big festival located in Dallas every year. It provides various kinds of entertainment, crafts, competitions, exotic food (like fried oreo cookies), games, shows, displays, vendors, a midway and animals It is the largest state fair in the US and runs for about 3 weeks.

I always loved eating the corn dogs that they sell there. Eating those corn dogs was a once a year special treat. It is one of my “comfort” foods from my childhood, because it reminds me of being with my family and friends at the fair.

When I became a vegetarian 27 years ago, I couldn’t eat the ones that they sell at the fair; so I decided to create my own! These are healthier, because they are baked and made from whole grain, healthier fats and organic ingredients.

The cornbread recipe for this dish can be made on it’s own as a delicious corn bread that can be served with your meal. Being from Texas and part of the south, my grandmother always made me cornbread and black eyed peas for dinner, when I would visit her; so it reminds me of my grandmother.

This may be a reason I like to make this bread or dish when my children are home visiting. Making this cornbread, as a part of the corn dogs, makes it special and a lot more fun as a meal or snack.

A great side bonus, is that it also makes the house smell great and feel comforting!

Nancy’s Texas Corn Dogs

Home-made corn dogs! These are delicious and became one of my children’s favorite meals when they were growing up! These are a fun food to make for occasions like football watching parties. Be sure to buy certified, organic cornmeal. This recipe is fairly quick and easy, and, because it calls for quinoa flour, it is gluten-free. I added some options for a vegan version of this recipe in the ingredient list.

Serve these warm with a little mustard or ketchup on the side.

This recipe calls for: tiny single loaf baking pans. I bought a bunch of them to use just for this recipe. If you have some large muffin pans or cups, you could use them instead.

Ingredients:
2 T. extra-virgin, pure coconut oil
1 c. whole grain, organic, non-GMO cornmeal
½ c. whole grain quinoa flour
1½ T. baking powder (non-aluminum)
½ tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. sea salt
2 eggs (substitute a mashed up banana for a vegan version)
1½ c. buttermilk (you can use a thick coconut yogurt instead for a vegan version)
2 T. ghee, melted (you can use coconut oil instead for a vegan version)
2 T. honey
1 pack your choice of hot dogs (I use a vegetarian version)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

2. Place coconut oil in the tiniest loaf pans you can find, and let it melt in the oven for a couple of minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.

3. Sift together cornmeal, quinoa flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt.

4. In a large bowl, beat eggs.

5. Add buttermilk, melted ghee, honey, and melted coconut oil to beaten eggs, and beat together.

6. Place a tiny piece of parchment paper in the bottom of each pan.
Coat with coconut oil, and then turn it over and leave it in the bottom of the pan. (This will make it much easier to take out of the pan when it is finished.)

7. Cut hot dogs to fit into the pan lengthwise. Leave a little space at each end for the cornbread to cover it.

8. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients.

9. Pour batter into the pans over parchment paper.

10. Cut the hot dogs; so that they will fit into the pan neatly in the middle of the corn bread. Place hot dogs in the center of the pan, so that they are surrounded by the corn bread on all sides.

11. Bake about 35 minutes.

Tops should be golden brown and sides should have pulled away from the sides of the pan. (You can do the toothpick test to see if the center is done.)

This recipe will make about 12 mini corn dogs.

Notes:
1. Have hot dogs ready. When the batter is ready, it is best to get it
into the pans and then the oven very quickly.

2. Larger-sized hot dogs usually taste better.

This recipe calls for tiny loaf pans that are made for baking bread. They are sold separately or as a large pan with individual, mini-loaf spaces. Many stores, including Sur La Table, Williams-Sonoma, Crate and Barrel, and Target, sell the pans. If you don’t want to buy one, simply use a small cooking container that is about an inch and a half deep and longer than it is wide.

You can buy the sticks to put the corn dogs on at those stores as well!

Remember to put in the main ingredient.

The Main Ingredient is Always Love!

Food Label Being Updated!

Nancy Addison — Sat, 06 Sep 2014 13:18:42 +0000

Nutrition Facts labels are finally getting a much needed remake. I’m so glad, because I always found this label to have things on it that weren’t really relative and somewhat deceptive. The proposed update, was announced in March. This is the first major revision in 20 years. I’m guessing this is part of the first lady’s continuing efforts to address the obesity epidemic and to help Americans improve the eating habits. The new label is under review and is awaiting final approval. The new labels will be required in a few years; so you won’t see the new label immediately.

So, what does the new label entail?

First- Serving sizes will be more reflective of what is the actual amount people consume of that product. I’ve always thought it was strange that they could manipulate the serving size in order to make it appear as if there was less sugar than it actually has in the amount you are consuming.

Second- They are removing the calories from fat. They are finally acknowledging that it’s the type of fat that is important not the amount of fat.

Third- They are finally are finally addressing the “added” sugar in foods. There are natural sugars in food, like fruit or milk. Then there are “added” sugar that are added to the product during processing which contribute to weight gain. They are putting the “added” sugar on the label! One teaspoon of sugar can shut down the immune system for up to 5 hours. So, knowing how much “sugar” is in the food is incredibly helpful for anyone needing to maintain a healthy immune system.

Fourth- Vitamin D and potassium are being added to the label. These nutrients are vital to maintaining a range of health benefits, like maintaining a healthy blood pressure or bone health. So, they are finally putting them on the label in hopes that it can help people purchase more health providing foods.

These new guidelines aren’t perfect, but they are a change for the better. I’m still wishing they wouldn’t allow trans fats or artificial sweeteners to be added in such small amounts (less than .5 grams) to a serving that they can claim 0 grams. I feel that is very deceptive. So, just be aware that they are able to do this to the products without listing those ingredients on the label when it is in such small amounts. I feel that even in these small amounts they can be harmful to the body.

So, with that said, it is a step in the right direction and I’m happy to see changes being made to help people see what is actually in the foods. I always say, take your reading glasses with you and read the labels. Buy from companies you know are reputable and use high quality ingredients. When in doubt, don’t buy it. It’s always best to eat whole real food in its natural state. Then you really know what you are eating. Bon appétit!

Eat Seasonally!

Nancy Addison — Tue, 29 Jul 2014 13:38:18 +0000

Eat Seasonally!

Time for my morning power smoothie with cherries! I think breakfast is one of the most important, if not the most important, meal of the day!

Also, cherries are in season. Our bodies are also better equipped to handle the foods that are in season. I love going to the local farmers market and buying food at the peak of the season. When we eat what is in season, the food is fresher and less expensive. I love to eat locally, seasonally and organically.

Have a wonderful rest of your summer!

Who has some wonderful tomatoes from your garden? I love tomatoes and I grew these!

Here is one of my favorite recipes!

Organic gardening expert chef and health expert, Nancy Addison’s organic tomatoes she grew in her garden.

Fancy Tomato Salad

 1 red or yellow bell pepper, sliced
 1 small–medium onion (sweet, Vidalia, or red), sliced 
3 large tomatoes, sliced

Dressing Ingredients:
3 T. balsamic vinegar
 3 T. extra-virgin organic olive oil 
1 T. honey (optional)

“How To Be A Healthy Vegetarian” is an excellent book. Having had the opportunity to assist and promote health and nutrition with world-class athletes over the last 25 years; it is my opinion that Nancy Addison’s book is a formula for high-level performance in our daily lives. I can’t imagine a more informative book for the person looking to improve their health. The chapter about sugar is the most complete information available. Nancy is an expert in Nutrition. What you put on the end of your fork is more powerful medicine than anything you will find at the bottom of a pill bottle.”

This review is from: How to Be a Healthy Vegetarian (Paperback)

Two years ago I had a quadruple bi-pass, and my cardiologist told me that if I changed to a plant based diet, I would never have this problem again. Being from Texas, I grew up on meat and potatoes, and I was not compliant with his advice. I came across Nancy Addison’s book and it made perfect sense to me with the simple and understandable approach. I’m started off dropping all animal meat, including chicken, which has as much unhealthy fat as steak. Within a month I dropped 17 lbs, just doing that. My system is functioning a lot better, I’ve added more fruits and vegetables, and doubled my energy. I haven’t given up seafood, but maybe down the road I will take the next step. Brava Nancy for getting me to take the first step,and helping me create a new,healthier life!!!!!

By
Eve Baughman (Camarillo, California United States) –
“This review is from: How to Be a Healthy Vegetarian (Paperback)
The thing I love about this book is it is clearly written and easy to understand! I’ve purchased so many books in the past that were supposed to be written for beginners in the vegetarian lifestyle, but ended up being geared toward people who were either scientists or well versed in what vegetarianism entails (when that was not what I was looking for or how it was marketed) and they didn’t do me much good! BUT THIS BOOK IS THE REAL DEAL! Reading it made me feel like the writer was personally guiding me through the things that are important for me to know. And it is full of a whole bunch of great (and easy) recipes too! I know several teens in my family who are experimenting with vegetarianism and I will be purchasing several copies of this book, so they will learn to do it in the right way from the beginning. Actually, it would make a great gift for anyone thinking about trying to become a little healthier by incorporating a few more vegies into their diet!”

This review is from: How to Be a Healthy Vegetarian (Paperback)
This is a wonderful book. This information and recipes that Nancy has included was instrumental in getting back on the path of being healthy. Me being a vegetarian, well honestly I’m not all there yet… but I’m not done yet.
It’s still a challenge, but after reading her book, I am making better choices in food that I do eat. Using the choices and new recipes has and is instrumental in my weight loss too. It’s a great lifestyle change book and she goes in depth explanation of the benefits why we should change our diet.

I’ve been known carried this book into the groceries stores with me when I have shop. I buy organic foods and most of its all vegetables and then learning how to prepare them. It’s all in the book.

Our most important asset is our body and our health. So we need to get serious and Nancy puts in easy reading form what we need and how it works and how to do it.

I love this book for so many reasons!

I keep it in my kitchen where I can browse through it when I’m looking for something fast and healthy, and I’m able to refer back to the nutritional information whenever I have a question. It’s the perfect book for busy vegetarians who want to efficiently and easily stay healthy, and eat delicious food!

Nancy Addison has done an incredible job summarizing a lifetime of experience with every facet of food and nutrition. From the garden to the table, be it vegetarian, vegan or raw, Nancy does it and she does it well. Even the preface is exciting! She has recipes for everyone from new renditions of traditional comfort foods to cutting edge raw dishes that will please even the toughest carnivore guests.

Nancy has put so much into this book and I believe it can and will help many people make changes that will improve their lives significantly. Not only does she tell the reader how and what to prepare, but she also provides a very comprehensive resource section, so that no matter where you live in the country you will have access to everything you need. Great book!!”

I had such a good time talking about holiday food with Amy Kushnir on The Broadcast, today on KTXD- TV.

My daughter Amanda went with me to the set.

I made a recipe from Maryann De Leo and my new book, “Alive and Cooking.”

We can eat food on holidays that doesn’t make you feel stuffed or tired.

Watch portion size, add more vegetables and plant based foods to the menu and exchange healthier ingredients for less healthy ones.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Everyone!

Healthy Eating While Traveling

Nancy Addison — Sun, 24 Nov 2013 16:48:36 +0000

Traveling can be fun, but also stressful. One of the things that many people complain about when traveling is the lack of healthy food choices at airports. I have noticed a trend toward more healthy choices at airports in the last six months. So, I am optimistic about the future of eating healthier while traveling.

The food options I see at airports are usually, the Starbucks, news stand snacks, fast foods, bars and a few restaurants that may have a couple of salads or vegetables on the menu. One negative thing about the abundance of food options is that many of them are more “convenience” foods than nutritious ones; so making healthy decisions is not always easy.

Here are a few helpful tips that can make your travel healthier in the food category. Especially over the winter and holidays it’s not uncommon to get stuck in airports for long periods of time. When this happens, many of us, tend to go snack or eat as a way of entertaining ourselves while waiting for our flight. So, I suggest, preparing a few snacks or a meal at home, before leaving on your trip. As long as they are prepackaged foods or are in clear containers, you can bring snacks to enjoy while you wait to board the flight or even eat while in the air.

Healthy, organic, snacks like: fruit, nuts, whole grain, gluten-free, crackers, bite-sized raw veggies and sugar free, organic, raw food or granola bars easily fit into a carry on bag, and will keep you from needing to buy anything more than a drink at the airport. I like to make a whole grain, gluten free, sandwich, which is delicious and easy to eat. I also love to take an already peeled orange or grapefruit, that have been separated into bit size pieces. Along with this, I put in a few napkins, paper towels and some non toxic, hand cleaning wipes, so I can clean my hands before and after having my snack. This is especially important if traveling with small children.

Another idea is to eat a full meal before leaving your home, negating the need to snack or feast while at the airport, and giving you enough time to begin digesting before boarding the plane. Preparing or choosing your own food ensures that you make the best possible choices – and have no reason to consume something undesirable. I always take a great book, magazine or games (cards, backgammon, mad libs) with me, so I have something entertaining to do while I am waiting. Then I don’t feel the need to entertain myself eating junk at a local food court.

Research the airport, the city, and the hotels. Each airport offers different options for dining, and you may overlook some great options. Gift shops, kiosks and the news stands often sell snacks like fruit and mixed nuts, which are preferable to sugary and fatty treats. But read the ingredient list on the back. Many of these snacks have added sugar in them and the packaging can be misleading.

You never know when a flight will be cancelled and your layover extended, so make sure to be prepared for emergencies. Knowing the area around you can be very important. I was recently stuck in Boston overnight and managed to do some quick research on the city around me. Reviews from other travelers regarding the Boston hotels and restaurants made it quick and easy to find places that catered to my healthy lifestyle.

Select foods carefully. If you have to eat from a restaurant, don’t choose anything too heavy, even if you are facing a long flight. Food that will settle in the stomach can cause discomfort during a flight, and even increase the necessity of using the airplane’s bathroom. Avoid sugary and caffeinated foods, which will spike your blood sugar, can make you jittery and are dehydrating. Eating fried foods can cause stomachaches and queasiness. Eating, wholesome, well-balanced meals can ensure a more comfortable flight.

Drink lots of water, coconut water, or tea. Sodas, coffee, and alcohol can cause dehydration. Staying hydrated while traveling is extremely important. So, splurge on a bottle of good spring water when you get past security, before boarding your plane.

If you are concerned about the price of buying water, you can bring an empty bottle that can be refilled multiple times. This allows you to drink as much as you want for no cost.

So, next time you are leaving on a trip, take a few healthy snacks with you. Preparing ahead of time can save your trip and your waistline. Happy Traveling!

Copper – It’s Health Benefits Or Problems

Nancy Addison — Tue, 02 Jul 2013 03:22:06 +0000

Copper is a natural element in our world. It has been used for centuries in drinking glasses, cookware, tongue scrapers, and many other things. I thought it was just because it was durable and handled heat well and evenly, which is why I use copper cookware in my home.

However, I learned it has other benefits when I was reading the other day about some studies conducted on copper surfaces in an intensive care unit. With healthcare acquired infections being a huge problem in medical care facilities, I found this study very interesting.

They tested copper surfaces in intensive care units, and then measured the percentage of germs and bacteria in those rooms.

Here is a quote from the article:
“Results. The rate of HAI and/or MRSA or VRE colonization in ICU rooms with copper alloy surfaces was significantly lower than that in standard ICU rooms … Conclusions. Patients cared for in ICU rooms with copper alloy surfaces had a significantly lower rate of incident HAI and/or colonization with MRSA or VRE than did patients treated in standard rooms.” (1)

The study involved sixteen intensive care hospital rooms. They put copper surfaces in half (eight) of those rooms. The result was that the rooms with the copper surfaces had about half the rate of infectious germs, MRSA (methicillin resistant staph infections), etc., than the rooms that did not have the copper surfaces. Another study I read found that the bacteria counts found on copper surfaces were 83% less than non-copper surfaces. That is huge. That is wonderful and so easy to implement.
If you are remodeling a kitchen, I would think that copper surfaces would be a healthy countertop to install.

Furthermore, copper was believed throughout history to support the lymphatic system.

One thing I have found that is important to be aware of, is that copper depletes our zinc levels.

A zinc deficiency is a world-wide problem. According to research published in Annals of Nutrition & Metabolism, a zinc deficiency contributes to poor growth, intellectual impairments, perinatal complications, and increased risk of morbidity and mortality.(2)

Zinc deficiency is now attributed to be responsible for 176,000 (14.4%) diarrhea deaths, 406,000 (6.7%) pneumonia deaths, and 207,000 (10.4%) malaria deaths. These deaths are mainly in Africa, in the Eastern Mediterranean, and in South-East Asia, “among children between 6 months and 5 years of age.” (3)

In addition to that we may be getting too much metal or minerals, because the glyphosate, in the herbicides used, which are now in our rain water, chelates minerals and heavy metals. According to my comversations with Dr. Stephanie Seneff, Senior research scientist at MIT, that is because of the heavy metals and minerals chelated by the herbicide glyphosate (which is now so extensive it’s hard to avoid it), that there are large amounts of heavy metals in our water and foods. Glyphosate also crosses the blood-brain barrier, because it is water soluable and can escort aluminum, lead, copper, etc. into the brain.

The use of copper piping in homes in the US, since the 1960s, means that about 98 percent of all homes built after 1970 have copper pipes. According to studies, copper in our diet is beneficial to a certain extent, but when we have too much of it, it can contribute to Alzheimer’s Disease. (4)

in my own conclusion, using copper in our homes, as door handles or light switches, can have very positive results for the anti-bacteria properties, but when it’s in our pipes, cookware, or drinking glasses, can be harmful to our health if we ingest too much of it. So use copper wisely.

Get Healthier, Thicker Hair, Naturally!

MD — Sun, 10 Mar 2013 14:04:01 +0000

Everyone seems to want healthy hair. We want our hair to be growing healthier and thicker naturally. Sometimes we may find too much hair left in our hairbrush or that our hairline is looking a bit farther back than it seemed a few weeks ago. I notice many people these days with balding spots (women and men). I also get asked quite often by clients or friends about how they can have healthier hair. Because of this, I will expand on ways people can have healthier hair by using foods and supplements that are natural and effective.

Our hair can definitely be influenced by what we are consuming. In many cases, hair loss is the result of a deficiency of Vitamin B and other nutrients. Lack of the right kind of essential fatty acids can also be part of the equation. A lack of Vitamin B’s (especially B6 and folate), magnesium, sulfur, zinc, and collagen, that the body needs in small amounts to function and stay healthy can result in hair thinning or hair loss.

The combination of nutrients is what is important, including eating the right kind of complex amino acids (proteins) in the right amounts. Foods rich in B vitamins are brewer’s yeast, wheat germ, and lecithin. Beans, lentils, peas, legumes, and seafood are also high in protein and B vitamins.

There are also many vitamins that contribute to healthy hair. Zinc is one of those. It works in cell reproduction and hormone balance, affecting hair growth and taking care of the hair follicles. If the body is low on zinc, the hair follicles can become weak. Foods heavy in zinc are seafood and nuts.

Vitamin E is another important element of healthy hair, having been shown to improve scalp circulation because of its anti-cellular aging and increased blood oxygenation properties. Avocados, kiwi fruit, nuts, seeds, and olive oil are good sources of vitamin E.

Vitamin A’s protection of hair follicles has been documented, and can be found in carrots, spinach, and unrefined cold pressed seed oils, such as flax, walnut, pumpkin.

Essential fatty acids are another vital way of promoting healthy skin and hair. Some essential fatty acid sources are hemp seeds, flax seeds, walnuts, avocados, almonds, pecans, pumpkins, hazelnuts, pine nuts, sesame, olives, chia seeds and their respective oils.

I try to get at least 1 teaspoon of the equivelent of the essential fatty acids, omega-3 oil into my diet every day. I keep the cold pressed, organic hemp or flax seed oil in my refrigerator and use it that way. It is easy and you get more of the oil directly into your system that way. My favorite way to add these omega-3 foods or oils to my food is to put the oil or the fresh nuts or seeds to salads, smoothies, casseroles and soups.

Although it is best to get nutrients in a whole food form, all of these vitamins and minerals can be found in supplement form. When buying supplements look for organic whole food vitamins. Your body can read whole foods much better than it can an isolated vitamin. Also, the Organic Consumers Organization recommends looking for products that contain “100 percent plant-based” or “100 percent animal-based” on the product’s label, so you know you aren’t getting synthetic vitamins. I recommend avoiding synthetic vitamins.

I also use a supplement that improves my hair health in many ways. It restores collagen on a cellular level. It has been found to help people’s hair grown back. We stop making collagen in our twenties, so we become depleted over time.

This unique and exclusive Collagen/HA Matrix® Technology has shown to support joint and muscle fitness, connective tissue health, counteract skin photoaging, restore youthful skin, and support healthy hair, nails, gums and eyes., It’s so effective it has been awarded 7 international patents.

I love this supplement. It was originally developed to help get rid of joint and arthritis pain and I used it to help me get rid of my back pain from scoilosis. I have avoided surgery and chronic discomfort by using this supplement.

When they develped this supplement, one of the things they found out, is that when people used it, it helped their skin, hair and nail health as well. I love that!

(I’m 63 now and my skin look so nice that people actually ask me if I have had a face-lift and I haven’t. They also think I look much younger than I am. I love that too!)

This company also sells safe non-toxic shampoo, conditioner, etc, that I use. What we use goes directly into our blood stream and we need to use only non-toxic safe things on our body. I highly recommend using safe products on your hair or skin. (They do sell this world wide and my links for your $10 discount on your first order is below. I have the links for each different parts of the world. Use the one for your country.)

Here is the link for the supplement I use that helps get rid of joint discomfort or arthritic discomfort and helps skin and hair be thicker and more luxurious. Their website has a lot of the information on it and the 37 human clinical trials that shows how effective it is. It was so effective that they were awarded 7 international patents on the supplement.

New Year Traditions And Eating Black Eyed Peas For Good Luck

Nancy Addison — Thu, 03 Jan 2013 14:20:48 +0000

New Years Day is here and many of us will be having the meal consisting of black-eyed peas. The black-eyed peas are known to represent “good luck”. This tradition began in the southern states after the Civil War. The northern troops, especially who were serving under General Sherman, would destroy all foods, crops, and livestock that they couldn’t carry with them.

The crops of “‘ field peas” and corn were considered by them to be only good for animal food, were left undestroyed. There were many people in the south that survived the war because of this misunderstanding. Thus giving them a “good luck” reputation. The peas are meant to represent coins.

Mustard greens or collards are usually served with the peas to represent paper money. In the south, corn bread and rice are usually accompaniments for this meal. This tradition has spread throughout the country.

The common commercial pea we see today is the California black-eyed pea. It is pale with a prominent black spot. This highly nutrition legume was promoted by George Washington Carver. It was valuable as a crop, because it adds nitrogen to the soil. It is such a highly nutritious legume. It is high in calcium, folate and vitamin A, as well as a great source of fiber. The blossoms produce large amounts of nectar; so they are grown in many places where honey is produced.

The large amount of pollinators that consume this nectar makes the use of pesticides much more strictly regulated. I always suggest buying organically grown foods, when possible.

Cooking legumes is really very easy. Many people don’t like to eat legumes, because they think it is hard to digest and produces gas. There are a few tricks to cooking that help with the digestibility of the legumes. Soaking in purified water and draining before cooking helps break down the enzymes. I also, add some seaweed to my mixture as I cook them.

I add a piece of Kombu seaweed. It helps to further break down the enzymes so the legumes are more easily digestible. You can add a 3 or 4 inch piece of seaweed to the soaking water and then also keep it in the cooking water. Seaweed adds many nutrients to the food. You can discard it after cooking. Always sort, wash and drain your beans before soaking. Beans double in volume when cooked, so cook one cup if you need two cups.

Recipe

Basic Black Eyed Peas

1. Soak black-eyed peas overnight (or for at least 8 to 12 hours) in purified water with a small 3-inch piece of Kombu seaweed (optional). Have at least two inches of water covering the legumes, because they expand while soaking. (Soaking them will remove enzyme inhibitors and phytic acid and make them more digestible.)

2. Drain off the water.

3. Put the black-eyed peas and Kombu in a large pot of fresh purified water. Make sure you put in enough water to cover them well. The legumes will absorb large amounts of the water.

4. Bring the pot to a boil and drain again.

5. Put more water in the pot and cover the beans completely once more. Bring to a boil, skim any foam off, cover and lower heat to a simmer.

6. Add a little pure coconut oil (about 1 Tablespoon) and a little unrefined sea salt (to your taste) to the pot. The oil makes the dish more savory and the salt adds minerals to the dish. Then simmer the peas until they are tender.

Enjoy a nutritious healthy New Years Day meal with the traditional black-eyed peas.

Meditation by Nancy Addison

Meditation

By Nancy Addison CHC, AADP

I have been a regular guest speaker at Parker University. I teach nutrition and “The Healing Diet” for Dr. Michael Hall’s class. Part of my talk concerned stress. I taught them a 3-minute meditation to help them cut down on stress and actually regenerate their own stem cells. They loved it! I teach this to my clients, at my seminars and at my speaking engagements.
Here is a nice quote on meditation that I thought was good. Hope you like it!

“Profound meditation in solitude and silence frequently exalts the mind above its natural tone, fires the imagination, produces the most refined and sublime conceptions. The soul then tastes the purest and most refined delight, and almost loses the idea of existence in the intellectual pleasure it receives. The mind on every motion darts through space into eternity; and raised, in its free enjoyment of its powers by its own enthusiasm, strengthens itself in the habitude of contemplating the noblest subjects, and of adopting the most heroic pursuits.”
Johann Georg von Zimmermann

Hope you have a stress free and relaxed day!

Apple Salad Recipe With Crisp Fresh Apples of the Autumn Harvest

Nancy Addison — Mon, 08 Oct 2012 11:07:23 +0000

Now is the time to say adios to summer and the abundant summer crops and welcome the fall harvest. Eating seasonally is both economical and healthy. The seasonal bounty of fall fruits and vegetables has great variety from root and vine grown vegetables to fruits of the tree. Apples are one of these fruits and are delicious when they are fresh off the tree. The apple is the perfect snack: easy, portable, energy boosting, delicious, and fat free!

When the early English colonists arrived in North America, the only apple tree they found was crab apple. However, there are now over 7,000 varieties growing in the US. The colonists brought many seeds and seedlings with them over the years, but the first apple trees the colonists brought didn’t bear much fruit, because there were no honeybees in North America. The colonists started bringing over hives of honeybees as early as 1622 to pollinate the trees.

A New York Publication in 1670 stated: “You shall scarce see a house, but the South side is begirt with Hives of Bees. The Native Americans loved the new apples that the colonists brought with them and cultivated them extensively throughout the US.

The apple is one of the most nutritious foods with remedies dating back to the earliest times of history. The apple is a member of the rose family and the blossom looks very much like a wild rose. One medium apple, fresh, raw, and with the skin, has high levels of vitamin C, potassium, iron, calcium, phosphorus, vitamin A, boron, and folate. All of those nutrients are packed into a small fruit with only 81 calories. Boron is a trace element, which has been shown to strengthen bones.

Pectin is a soluble fiber in apples which removes cholesterol, toxic metals such as lead and mercury, and the residues of radiation. In addition, the fiber content of one apple is equivalent to a serving of bran cereal. The malic and tartaric acid found in apples inhibits growth of disease-producing bacteria in the intestinal tract.

The American Cancer Association says that the apple is a lung strengthening food and can lower the incidence of lung cancer, while studies have also shown that the liver and gallbladder benefit from the cleansing properties of the apple and apple juice. Furthermore, the antioxidant phytonutrients found in apples helps fight the damaging effects of LDL, which we know as bad cholesterol.

The physical benefits of apples have also been noted. A poultice of grated apples placed over the eyes for up to 20 to 30 minutes can help with swelling, sunburn, and “pink eye.”

This simple recipe is much like the Waldorf Salad recipe I learned from my mother. This recipe makes a great light lunch to pack for school or work.

Recipe

Apple Salad

Salad Ingredients:

3 large red apples cored and cut into bite size pieces.
2/3-cup pineapple (fresh is the best choice) crushed or cut into cubes.
1/ 3 cup celery, diced
3 Tablespoons Raisins
3 Tablespoon pecan pieces

Dressing Ingredients:

3 Tablespoons plain yogurt
2 teaspoon mayonnaise
1 Tablespoon pineapple juice
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions:

In a medium bowl, combine the salad ingredients.

In a small bowl mix together the dressing ingredients and then mix the dressing in with the fruit.

Variations I add grapes to this salad when available. Walnuts can be used instead of pecans.

Why Organic and Why Should We Care?

Nancy Addison — Thu, 30 Aug 2012 16:07:05 +0000

Most of the time I want to stay light and only talk about good and positive things, but now and then, I feel I have to say something about what is going on in the world that may not be quite as upbeat. This one concerns our food supply and our fragile eco system.

I am a big proponent of organic farming and I am an avid environmentalist. I put a lot of information in my book on GMO’s, soy, pesticides, the environment, etc. I was reading today about some political things going on in California. If it is happening in California, it will affect our food supply and it is only a matter of time, before they will want to do it in your state too. So, I think it is important to know this. I think our environment is so fragile and having huge amounts of chemicals dumped onto our environment is becoming such an enormous problem that is every increasing.

About 27 years ago, I became aware of the problems associated with genetically modified plants. I was reading books and articles on the environment and I read about how the large bumblebee was becoming extinct because they were starving to death.

The reason being that the new genetically modified plants are developed for beauty and other things and the flowers don’t have any nectar in them. Have you ever noticed that the flowers today at the florist don’t or most don’t have a scent? The flowers they plant all over town don’t have a scent. There is no nectar.

That is why old heirloom flowers or wildflowers are so important for us to plant everywhere we can. I plant them in my garden for the bees and pollinators. About GMO’s, there are two basic types of genetically engineered crops on the market now: herbicide-tolerant and insect-resistant. These are grown to handle the direct use of pesticides on them.

There are over a billion pounds of pesticides used in the United States alone each year. Many of these chemical fertilizers were developed for use as bombs or poisons in warfare. What I find alarming now is that “Last week Dow Chemical donated $1.2 million to defeat Prop 37 to label genetically engineered foods, which will appear on the ballot in California this fall.[1]
At the same time, they happen to be petitioning the U.S. Department of Agriculture for the approval of a new genetically engineered “Agent Orange” soybean that tolerates the extremely toxic chemical herbicide 2,4-D, a major component of the Vietnam War era defoliant Agent Orange.[2]
Not only does Dow Chemical not want you to know what’s in your food, but now they want to dump more toxic chemicals on it too! Numerous studies have linked exposure to 2,4-D to serious health problems that include cancer (particularly non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma), lowered sperm counts, liver disease and Parkinson’s disease.[3] In addition, dozens of peer-reviewed studies have found the use of 2,4-D to contribute to hormone-disrupting activity linked to reproductive problems and thyroid dysfunction.[4] (I got these facts and that quote from : http://action.fooddemocracynow.org/go/641?t=8&akid=613.225485.Ph-M8Z)

These pesticides and chemicals poison our food and our environment. Pesticides particularly affect our nervous system. These plants actually produce an insecticide to kill insects that feed on them. If this is what the genetically engineered plant is doing to a small insect, then what is it doing to the person who is eating this food? The effect of this type of plant on the environment and in the human body, especially long-term, is unknown. Genetically engineered, or genetically modified (GM), plants are escaping into the wild and inter-breeding with wild plants.

Our pollinators, such as bees, are in trouble now. Are genetically engineered plants a contributing factor? Good question. Genetically engineered food is such a recent food product that no long-term, in-depth studies show their long-term effect on humans or the ecosystem. You must decide for yourself if eating food that has pest control built right into it or has large amounts of poisons put on it is good for human consumption. “An estimated 75 percent of foods in U.S. grocery stores contain GM ingredients.

About seven out of every 10 items in the average grocery cart have been genetically modified. And don’t bother reading labels to see if you’re buying a GM product, because as of now, there is no labeling is required,” (quote from Nancy’s international award-winning book: How To Be A Healthy Vegetarian, page 317) like there is in most countries around the world. Well there are two basic types of GMO’s.

I personally think we need labeling. We also need to stop poisoning our precious ecosystem and environment. Let your voice be heard. If you don’t say anything, they think you don’t care and they will do whatever they think they should at the time.

Educate the people in power with your voice. If you do say something or make a phone call, they estimate that you represent a demographic of about 10 thousand people. So don’t underestimate the power of that one phone call! Help stop the poisoning of America and the world!

Please do something today. Do it for your grandchildren, if for no other reason. They deserve a safe, non-toxic land. So, support the organic organizations, support your organic farmers, because if you don’t, they may not be around to support later on.

Many people say to me, but I can’t afford organic and I say to them, you can’t afford not to buy organic. Buy local, buy seasonal, buy organic when you can, it does make a difference.

That farmer, doing the right thing, needs your financial support or he can’t keep doing it. Every time you buy something, you are voting for someone or against someone. The purchase power is powerful. You don’t realize how powerful your purchase really is. Make it count!

I have always felt that when faced with a situation; it is best to take action in the positive direction instead of just remaining in place feeling helpless. So, that is why I wrote this blog. Thanks for reading it! I hope you have found it helpful, educational and inspirational.

Sincerely, Nancy

I went to Amazon today to look at how my book was set up and saw that I had 4 reveiws on my book! So, I went to read them and see what people were saying about my book. I was so happy to read these! Here they are:
I worked so hard on this book. I am so excited that people are really getting a lot of great information from it. It makes all of that hard work and research worth it!

The Healing Diet ( Heart Disease & Diabetes) – Nancy Addison Speaking At Parker University

Nancy Addison — Sun, 29 Jul 2012 14:28:00 +0000

I’m teaching classes at Parker University on the Healing Diet.

The Healing Diet is a program I have developed and created. It is a lifestyle program for my clients with diabetes, cancer and heart disease. I was asked to teach this program once more at Parker University in Dallas, Texas. I had a wonderful class of students. We had lively discussions. They have asked me to return and teach more classes in the future on this subject as well as others. They loved my new book, which Dr. Hall says is a great resource for them to use in their practice.

Plant-based Mushroom Burger Recipe – Vegetarian

It is National Mushroom Month!

Mushrooms are nutrient-dense and have less calories than meat. They have also been found to prevent cancer.

According to a study conducted by The University of Western Australia in Perth, eating mushrooms daily may reduce breast cancer risk by nearly two thirds.

The study, conducted in China, looked at more than 2000 women, half of whom had suffered from breast cancer. Researchers found that the women who ate a third of an ounce of fresh mushrooms every day had lowered their risk of developing a tumor by 64 percent.(1)

Dried mushrooms didn’t have quite the same benefit, but still reduced the risk “by around half.”(2)

It is certainly great to have the reinforcement of knowledge that mushrooms are such a healthy food.

Portobello mushrooms are a great alternative to meat, because of their meaty texture and flavor.

The quantities in this recipe are enough for one person.

Ingredients:

1 large portobello mushroom

3 T. organic coconut liquid amino sauce or teriyaki sauce

1 whole, sprouted-grain hamburger bun or bread (I love the Ezekiel 4:9® Sprouted Whole Grain Sesame Burger Buns)

¼ cup sliced goat cheese (from goats that are grass-fed and humanely-raised, or you can use a vegan goat cheese)

Directions:

1. Brush off the mushroom and remove the stem. (Save the stem to cut up and use in a stir-fry or pasta dish later.)

2. Soak the mushroom in your choice of sauce for at least five minutes (although 30 minutes is even better).

3. Grill, or bake at 350°F, just until thoroughly warm, making sure it is moist with the amino sauce or teriyaki sauce.

4. Warm or toast bun.

5. Place the goat cheese (if using) on top of mushroom and leave in oven just a couple of minutes to soften the cheese.

6. Remove mushroom from grill or oven and place on bun.

7. Serve immediately.

Variations:

1. For a vegan version, you can use sliced avocado instead of goat cheese. It’s a really delicious addition to this sandwich.

2. You can add a few leaves of romaine lettuce, or tomato slices, or onion, but I found it is simply delicious just with the goat cheese.
