This week, Dr. Andrew Weil posted healthy options for your cocktail plates! Thanks so much, Dr. Weil for all you valuable information. This way of eating is so beneficial to our bodies. Rock on Native Tucsonan! Your the best and we love you!! Hi everyone, join me in keeping your families healthy this Holiday season, and their bodies free of toxins.
1. Crudités. The fiber in veggies will help fill you up, and they provide a nice, satisfying crunch. Choose a spectrum of colors (broccoli, cauliflower and carrots are good choices) and serve with low- or non-fat plain yogurt. (Greek yogurt) Add some fresh herbs and seasonings for flavor.
2. Mixed nuts. When eaten sparingly, nuts are a terrific snack. Walnuts are a favorite, as they are rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Almonds and roasted soy nuts are also good choices. Nuts can be high in calories and fat (even if it's the healthy monounsaturated kind) so don't overindulge.
3. Smoked salmon. Salmon (especially wild Alaskan sockeye salmon) provides omega-3 fatty acids, the anti-inflammatory, essential fats our bodies need for optimum health. (Yummy!)
4. Grilled figs and bleu cheese. Figs are high in fiber and antioxidants, and when combined with a bit of bleu cheese, provide calcium and protein - all in a delicious, easy-to-eat package. ( My favorite, also pairs well with a nice bottle of organic wine.)
Avoid if you can my loves, Fatty Dips filled with High-fructose corn syrup , Nitrite filled cocktail franks and Conventional toxic mini-meatballs, anything fried.
