HEALTHY CHOICE FOODS
When I was young I certainly didn't think much about death. That's particular true for the Christian anyway, "death where is thy sting?" But now that I'm 60+ I realise that there's an awful lot I still want to do.
What am I driving at? It takes healthy choice foods as well as Chiropractic for the body to take us through into healthy old age. And that's exactly what I plan to do. Want to join me on this healthy-marbles-intact-eighty-plus-health-food-kick? Actually, it's quite fun. RESPECT YOUR FOODIn days of yore we took our food more seriously than we do now. Not that we love our food less; has there ever been a time when people weren't fonder of their sup than anything else?No! But we respected our food more. And I suspect enjoyed it more, but who is to measure that. I have such fond memories of my childhood... My father for instance, treated his citrus trees with the greatest respect. Nowhere could you find sweeter and juicier Valencias than on our farm. They were irrigated with the sweet water from the Umngeni River (not so sweet today), and the oranges were fertilised by the manure and composts from what was left of the maize stalks, and cattle and pig manure. The orange blossom honey from my bees was light and pale, with the pure bouquet of the finest nectar. In the milking parlour, my brother and I would dash, mugs in hand, to sample the freshly drawn milk. There are few things nicer than the foam from a bucket of milk, straight from the cow. Or my mother's apple tarts. I would be sent to pick baskets of apples from "the moss'd trees, heavy in fruit with ripeness to the core"; Preferably the Toppies had taken a peck or two, then we knew they were at their sweetest. Those birds had a better eye than we for when the fruit was fully ripe. Her puff pastry had no equal I was convinced as a child. "May I have a little more, please, Mum." And this to complement a heavy regimen that they both enjoyed at the Chiropractic Coalface. Television didn't exist, and the cinema was just a rare treat. Compared with the delights of Dad's farm, and my Mum's garden, it's little wonder that I find TV small beer when measured up against my bees, or brewing mead, or turning the leg of a chair on the lathe. Even in 3-D, HD, blue ray... it's mostly so second rate! We lived simply but, by George, we ate good food.

COOKING GREEN BEANS and GROWING GREEN BEANS ... Despite being first cousin to the deadly nightshade TOBACCO, tomatoes and eggplant are high on my agenda when it's my turn to take responsibility for menu planning. Helen too makes sure there are fresh tomato recipes on the menu every day. Heaven forbid that Bernie get prostate cancer... and here's the solution.
FRESH TOMATO RECIPES ... My all time favourite recipe. Fried aubergine, eggplant, brinjal, call it what you like, would an English rose smell any different by another name?, it's healthy and delic. A little fattening if you don't enjoy it with a salad, or something similar.
FRIED EGGPLANT RECIPE ... Mutton, perhaps if you're American you've never tasted, is the sublime meat that comes from a sheep. It has one big advantage - mostly it isn't "corn-fed" and they aren't reared in a sty. It's the only red meat in Holland that I will eat. They roam the polders at will surrounded by dykes and canals. Good stuff, provided you add a lot of vegetables, assuming you, like most of us, have a "cholesterol problem". Very, VERY delicious...
What is mutton ? Every healthy day should start with a healthy breakfast... make sure you include a little protein or you'll be snacking at 11 o'clock, the smartest way to an obesity problem.
There's only one really important rule for the working man or woman for lunch. TAKE YOUR LUNCH WITH YOU. Here I show you how I made a super healthy lunch in only four minutes. Of course, you will add your own touches, but the general principles remain...
EASY LUNCH RECIPES Having a general sense of the caloric count of various foods, and the insulin response produced by carbohydrates (the Glycemic Index) is very important in menu planning and mixing your healthy choice foods. And when you do junk out, like having parboiled rice, just because it's so easy (it has a GI of 100, the same as glucose), understanding how healthy mixing of your foods reduces the rate at which your foods are converted into blood glucose is vital. For example, parboiled rice with curried meat and chickpeas, maraconi with cheese, bread with tomato and lettuce and always my favourite, hummus which has the lowest GI on the chart (6)is not a problem. Eat hummus regularly and you can cheat a bit with your favourite junk foods. Try and have a green salad every day...
CARBOHYDRATE COUNT CHART AND GI ... Cold water fish is just the easiest and most delicious way to increase the Omega-3 in your diet. Smoked mackerel is pre-cooked. Just open and tuck in, what could be easier? HEALTHY CHOICE FOODS

This Broccoli walnut salad you can enjoy with either lightly blanched or raw broccoli, both are fantastic, and it's so easy to prepare. Fifteen minutes and dinner is ready! The only slight negative, and to my way of thinking it's a positive, one of your broccoli walnut salad ingredients is chickpeas, and those you do have to soak over night. But they're so full of the soluble fibre that your colon loves, and also rich in phytosterols known for their ability to lower cholesterol levels and promote heart health. That is, lower the Low Density Lipoproteins (LDL and VLDL) that are associated with heart disease. Phytosterols increase the friendly cholesterol, that which cleans up your blood vessels, known as High Density Lipoproteins (HDL) Just the great taste is enough, and you can add a handful of raisins, juggle the recipe and turn it into a Broccoli Raisin Salad Recipe. For me a recipe is just a framework to develop your own cooking personality. How would a side dish of Tapenade be?
OLIVE PATE ... scroll down to Tapenade. If Helen's salad doesn't fix your constipation, I'll be totally astonished. It fixed my 28-year problem... it's a fantastically delicious and healthy alkalising supper anyway. What's more you can prepare it in ten minutes.
HELENS 15 EURO SALAD ... I've removed all the soups (this page was getting too long) and put them together at Easy Soup Recipes. I just love soups, they are delic, made in a flash, and extremely healthy so they fit in well with our HEALTHY SLOW FOOD, MADE FAST philosophy.
EASY SOUP RECIPES ... Interesting new research shows that a bi-weekly broccoli dish has a profound impact on the highly aggressive prostate cancers, and other cancers too. These broccoli facts will keep you up to date...
BROCCOLI FACTS ... Few things scare a man more than loss of libido.; and that's exactly what Cholesterol-lowering drugs called Statins do. Our cholesterol-lowering foods and for example the humble tomato soup recipe are of prime importance... consider rather foods that lower cholesterol naturally. Far better, safer than nasty statins. Did you know, for example, medicine's own research shows that taking statins, unless you have have a heart condition, is valueless? Well, unless you're the owner of a big pharmaceutical!
FOODS THAT LOWER CHOLESTEROL ... side effects of Statins. OUR MARBLESThe epidemic of Alzheimers and senile dementia in today's modern world is very scary. To achieve all those goals we have set for the next 20+ years, you and I are both going to need plenty of Omega-3 fatty acids. Those are the fats that the brain and the nerves are made of. Fatty fish, like our mackerel recipes, and growing butternut squash, and our made in a jiffy Smoked Salmon Dip recipe are definitely on the agenda. So will planting a walnut tree, and another avocado tree. Avo oil is 26% "essential" polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) that our brains desperately need if we don't want to lose our marbles.
ANTI -Cancer, -Oxidant, -Inflammatory, -Allergic and -Viral...But after studying the Orange Juice facts, the question arises: Is what you buy in a carton actually Orange Juice? Or, is it just OJ, something quite different? A junk food? Crap frankly.
ORANGE JUICE FACTS ... Healthy Choice Foods Every man needs to be concerned about his prostate. It is after all the most common terminal cancer in men, and the treatment is awful... it often leaves you impotent! Even benign prostate hypertrophy, a non-cancer, is murder. So growing tomatoes in general, our tomato soup recipe, and foods that are rich in phytosterols have to be high on the prostate agenda in the coming years. Healthy Choice Foods There's an abundance of research that raw food is healthy food. You AND YOUR CHILDREN should be eating a minimum of FIVE coloured fruits and salads EVERY DAY. It's also SLOW FOOD MADE FAST. Raw food contains the enzymmes that are denatured by cooking and, whilst we may not appreciate the difference, the astute tongue certainly can. Try squeezing your own orange juice and then comparing it with OJ out of a carton. Compare raw, unheated honey with what you buy in the supermarket. Bite into an apple and compare it with apple juice. There is a difference. Always eat the peel of the apple too, that's where 75% of the soluble fibre that keeps your colon happy is to be found. Avoid the supermarket mayo (it's full of the evil-for-your-nervous-system hydrogenated fats) for your tuna and mayo, or on your raw salad. Rather use this easy homemade mayonaise recipe. Or just dribble straight olive oil, or our Olive Garden salad dressing ...
OLIVE GARDEN SALAD DRESSING . Healthy Choice Foods It's virtually a by-word that an apple a day keeps the doctor away. What started as an old wives tale, research has now confirmed the magnificent apple is probably one of the very best medicines on the planet. Improving lung function, curing a heap of tummy troubles, reducing the risk of cancer... read about it at Apple Diet. Few things lovelier than to bite into a crisp apple, alas I forbid it for patients with TMJ conditions, but the Apple Salad recipe is a delic alternative.
