A word from the editor:
I am including two recipes in this week's issue - both are easy
to make and preparation will not take long. The Nutrition Update
focuses on eating a variety of foods. By eating a variety of
foods, you do not have to worry about getting too much or too
little of certain nutrients. Eat from a wide range of foods
consistently and you will be doing wonders for your health.
Best of health!
Laura

RECOMMENDED COOKBOOK:
The Healthy Kitchen:
Recipes for a Better Body, Life, and Spirit
by Andrew Weil, Rosie Daley
From Publishers Weekly ==>"What might at first seem a jumble of
nutrition facts and recipes turns out to be a stimulating
invitation to healthy, pleasurable eating. Well-known for his
holistic approaches to physical and mental health, physician
Weil loves good food. Not one to settle for bland albeit health-
promoting fare, Weil insists that not only are low-fuss,
delicious meals and good health more easily attainable than most
Americans imagine, they actually go hand in hand. Coauthor and
former Oprah Winfrey chef Daley, provides recipes that, for the
most part, reflect Weil's conception of the optimum diet. All
of the 135 recipes include nutrition counts (calories, fat,
cholesterol, etc.). According to Weil, eating has become yet
another stressful activity that must be fit into jam-packed days.
To remedy this, Weil and Daley not only offer satisfying recipes
that make use of nourishing, readily available ingredients, they
give tips on stocking the pantry, preparation, reading food
labels and daily menu planning.

NUTRITION UPDATE:
_______________________________________________________
VARIETY IS THE SPICE OF HEALTH
The 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans advises that you should
get a variety of vegetables form the 5 subgroups:
legumes, dark green, orange, starchy and others.
Vegetables and legumes are the best choices if you want to lower
your weight and improve your health. These are high in fiber and
nutrients and low in fat and calories. Here are a few tips:
* Keep canned beans on hand and add them to soups, salads and
pasta dishes.
* Add lentils to your rice; they cook in the same amount of time -
even in the rice cooker!
* Leave the skin on potatoes. This works for mashed potatoes
and potato salad, too.
* Always serve a large tossed salad with every meal.
