As I ate my panini with gusto, I thought you might enjoy
learning about it so here is the story.

This food goes well with many things: salmon, chicken,
omelettes, salads, etc. It’s salty, green, round and small.

It’s capers.

Well, it’s been discovered, recently, that the extract of capers
can help prevent the formation of some by-products that
result during the digestion of meats.

These by-products have been associated with an increased
risk of heart disease and cancer.

Capers also are a wonderful source of antioxidants, and this
fact has taken by surprise the researchers.

On the other hand, they are a good source of many important
nutrients such as vitamin A, E, C, K, niacin, calcium, iron,
magnesium, folate, copper, riboflavin and manganese.

It’s incredible to see how something so small can have all
those nutrients, ah. Well, these vitamins and minerals together
help support the good health of many organs and systems.

For example, they assist the nervous system function, and
promote healthy eyes and healthy skin.

They aid the metabolism of carbohydrates, protein and fats,
combat stress and protect your body from free radicals.

They help you to fight anxiety, relax your muscles and
increase your energy levels.

These tiny green flower buds, often overlooked in this part
of the globe can provide your body with all those remarkable
benefits.

The only thing that is kind of a minus, is that they are
high in sodium. So, if you are adding capers to your dish
remember this and don’t put too much salt. Capers will add
that salty touch you need.

If you like to eat read and fatty meats once in a while you
may want to accompany them with capers. They not only
will enhance their flavor but will make them better for you.

If you don’t, there are many other foods you can add capers
to and reap their incredible health benefits.

Wishing you good health and peace in your heart,

Monica

Anyway, I love days like this, even if it’s freezing out.

I lived on the west coast for a while, and know how it is to
deal with rain and more rain, and greyness day after day;
after a few days it takes toll on your mood, and you feel
a bit gloomy like the sky.

Well, from this sunny and crisp cold part of the world,
we’re going to talk about a root that helps to increase your
metabolism, manage stress more effectively, think
more clearly, etc.

This is something also known as the ‘golden root’.

It’s found in large quantities in Siberia where villagers,
for years, have used it for all kind of illnesses.

Today, Siberians still say that ‘people who drink Rhodiola
tea will live more than 100 years.’ –Would you like to live
that long..

Rhodiola has been used in Tibet for centuries, and traditional
Chinese medicine uses this root to enhance stamina, combat
stress, support the immune system and balance blood pressure.

This herb acts as a muscle relaxant and mood enhancer.

Now, studies conducted with animals have shown that Rhodiola
has a very positive effect in the metabolism of fats.

Also, in studies that included high performing athletes it
was found that Rhodiola increased strength, energy and physical
work capacity while it reduced the recovery time. This is good
news if you want to add more exercise to your health regimen
but are feeling that you need an extra push. You know, exercise
is a great thing to do to combat anxious feelings.

But there’s much more.

The glands can benefit from it too.

Researchers have found that the golden root can enhance the
function of the thyroid, the thymus and the adrenal glands,
which play a key role in the management of stress.

And to add to all this, Rhodiola rocea extract has demonstrated
to have very, very strong antioxidant and anti-carcinogenic
properties.

There you have it. Ah, Rhodiola is considered a safe herb but,
at high doses of 1,000 mg or more can cause irritability,
restlessness, and insomnia. And people who suffer from
psychological disorders such as bi-polar disorder should not
take it.

You may find Rhodiola extract at mountainroseherbs.com.
They also offer the dry root, which you can prepare into a tea
according to their instructions.

Mother Nature is definitely wise, and all the answers to a
healthy, vibrant and enjoyable life are found in its wisdom.

If you provide your body with what it needs to reclaim its
balance, with time, your same body will give it to you.

It only takes a few minutes to prepare this recipe,
but you don’t have to tell others, who will be delighted
with your gourmet talents

Studies have found that Portobello mushrooms are packed with
a powerful antioxidant called ergothioneine. They have more
of this antioxidant than their cousins, the bottom white.

Also, they are an excellent source of niacin, and a good
source of potassium and selenium.

All these nutrients are beneficial to the body. For example,
it’s been found that niacin plays a key role in lowering
bad cholesterol levels, adequate potassium in your diet helps
ease feelings of irritability, anxiety, and stress, and selenium
has been shown to elevate mood and decrease anxiety.

Also, potassium is key to maintain those bothersome cramps
at bay.

As you know very well, bananas are great sources of potassium
but guess what, Portobello mushrooms have much more
potassium than bananas and of course much less calories and
carbohydrate content.

These mushroom also have protein that’s why some people use
them in hamburgers instead of meat, although the amount
of protein is not that much.

100 grams of Portobello mushrooms (two medium) have
2.5 grams of protein.

Now to the recipe. Ah, but before let me tell you that these
mushrooms store well in the refrigerator for about a week to
10 days if you put them in a brown paper bag.

Recipe:

3 Portobello mushrooms, halved and sliced in small chunks
2 Tbs extra virgin olive oil
1 Tbs lemon juice
1 tsp natural apple cider vinegar
1 clove of garlic minced
1 Tbs of fresh dill (or rosemary)
1 tsp of tamari
1/3 of water or vegetable stock (I use organic mushroom stock)
Fresh ground pepper to taste

In a pyrex, mix the ingredients making sure that all mushrooms
get coated. Then put in the oven and bake at 250 F for
about 30 minutes. Mix once or twice while they are baking.

Hope you enjoy this dish and impress more than one.
