In light of the recent egg recall, food awareness has become a major topic of discussion. Where does your food really come from? Are you putting the purest things in your body or are you slowly junking your system up on a daily basis? Are you taking every precaution to prevent a spread of disease or bacteria? The following tips will help you decide. 1. Wash hands often. Proper hand washing may eliminate nearly half of all cases of food-borne illness and significantly reduce the spread of the common cold and flu. (ADA) 2. Keep raw meats and ready-to-eat foods […]
There’s always a moment when I realize fall has arrived. Here in Southern California, it isn’t necessarily because the temperature has dropped or the leaves have started changing. Sometimes, it’s simply walking through the market and seeing beautiful displays of crisp apples and ripe pears. To me, apples and pears are some of the first tastes of fall. I love them because they’re delicious just as they are, but they’re also incredibly versatile in the kitchen. Slice them into a salad, pair them with nuts and cheese, cook them alongside a savory meal, or bake them with cinnamon and warm […]
There’s something special about visiting the farmers market as summer begins to wind down. The tables are still filled with beautiful tomatoes, colorful peppers, zucchini, and fresh herbs, but you can already feel the seasons beginning to change. I love this time of year because it reminds me to enjoy these wonderful ingredients while they’re still at their best. A perfectly ripe tomato, a handful of fresh blueberries, or zucchini tossed on the grill needs very little preparation to become something delicious. These foods also bring a variety of vitamins, minerals, fiber, and beneficial plant compounds to our meals. And […]
I’ve always believed that the foods we eat can be some of our most powerful tools for supporting good health. This is especially true when it comes to inflammation. Inflammation is part of the body’s natural defense system. It helps us respond to an injury, illness, infection, or even a strenuous workout. This short-term response is necessary for healing. But when inflammation continues over time, it can begin working against us instead of helping us. Chronic inflammation can be influenced by ongoing stress, inadequate sleep, repeated infections, certain health conditions, and a diet high in heavily processed foods. Over time, […]
We hear a great deal about increasing our lifespan—the number of years we live—and our healthspan—the years we remain healthy and active. But Dr. Kerry Burnight believes there is another part of longevity that deserves just as much attention: our joyspan. In Joyspan: The Art and Science of Thriving in Life’s Second Half, Dr. Burnight introduces joyspan as the number of years we live with a sense of well-being, connection, meaning, and genuine enjoyment. Her hopeful approach is grounded in decades of work as a gerontologist, but some of her most meaningful lessons come from a very personal source: her […]
Nothing says summer quite like gathering around the grill—and my Summertime Grilled Chicken is an easy, colorful way to entertain friends and family. The chicken is marinated in my bright and zesty Honey-Lime Dressing, grilled until tender, and topped with a refreshing Strawberry-Avocado Relish. It’s sweet, savory, and just a little unexpected—exactly what a holiday cookout needs! Bringing a dish to a barbecue? Cook the chicken ahead of time and refrigerate it. When you arrive, warm it briefly on the grill to bring back that fresh-off-the-barbecue flavor. Add the relish just before serving, and you’ll have a beautiful dish without […]
Summer is one of my favorite times to enjoy my citrus orchard. I love spending time among the trees, picking fresh oranges, lemons, and limes and bringing them straight into my kitchen. There is something special about using fruit you’ve just picked, especially when the citrus is fragrant, juicy, and still warm from the summer sun. Once a year, when the citrus trees are especially abundant, I invite friends to the orchard to share in the harvest. Everyone picks fresh oranges, lemons, and limes to take home, and at the end of the day, we gather for a barbecue with […]
America’s 250th Birthday! A message from Grace O One Nation. Many Cultures. Endless Healthy Traditions As we celebrate the 250th birthday of the United States this Fourth of July, I’m reminded that one of America’s greatest strengths has always been its diversity—not only in the people who call this country home, but also in the foods, traditions, and cultures we share around our tables. Every family has its own favorite Fourth of July recipes. Some traditions have been passed down for generations, while others have traveled here from around the world. Together, they tell the story of America—a nation built […]
What is sarcopenia? The term “sarcopenia” was invented recently by Irwin Rosenberg. In 1989, he first referred to loss of skeletal muscle mass and size as “sarcopenia,” by combining the Greek word for “flesh” (Sarx) with the Greek word for “loss” (penia). At the time, it was thought that the degenerative process being described was led by the loss of lean muscle mass with aging. Today, it is understood that inactivity causes muscles to lose strength through a process of denervation, the loss of nerve supply that signals muscle cells to act. It impacts all of us as we age, […]
