Eat You Heart Out/ Up : Heart healthy Food and Recipes October 30, 2018
As the season is changing, the farmers market options are changing and thinning out but SOUP and STEW season is here. Get a few great fresh goodies, some canned goodies and get cooking without salt and oil and feel great and eat happy.
I have always focused on the good foods BUT not very much on the oil and salt now with the heart issue i am dealing with I have gotten rid of oil and salt and other goodies/baddies. Feeling better and losing weight.
Time to see how it all goes.
The Forks over Knives folks have a bunch of great and healthy recipes. Sharing a few current faves.
Soup season is upon us:
The rest of FOK family have great recipes and videos.
I love all kinds of HUMMUS.
Yummy, satisfying burgers, add raw onions and pickles….maybe hot sauce
I am also a fan of John McDougall and the associated recipes. Lots of starches- satisfying and filling.
I love beans and this is a great base food or foundation for other combos.

Salt a necessary Evil ? Can you balance Sodium needs and salt content with Taste ? October 17, 2018
I have difficulty when I eat too much salt/sodium. Years ago I had some difficulty with stiff joints and fluid retention in areas injured years before, when I ate too many salty foods.
This is still a challenge BUT my current diagnosis of heart failure and Atrial fibrillation ( A Fib) brings the intake of salt back to the forefront with much more that a little joint discomfort. When i have too much sodium I notice it in my breathing and sleep and spend the next day eating fresh veggies and fruit and trying to sweat( or get to the gym) .
So what is the expert view? Or at least another view or 2
Found a few videos with info.
Quick video on some problems with salt intake and sodium in the body.
This video mentions 2300 mgs. as the target but some think that is too little. Look into personal needs and discuss with doctor and nutritionist/ dietitian. Get professional help- with expert that is familiar with your diagnosis and activity levels. I exercise and sweat a lot But still have to be careful.
Personally I avoid processed / boxed foods and limit salty snacks like ,movie popcorn, to a monthly splurge.
This video lets us know what we need, according to the makers.
Now I am a big fan of the movies and a bowl of popcorn….I only get it if i can go to the gym or for a hike/walk and sweat it out right after. Luckily my gym is in the same center as my favorite theater.
But I continually study ways to improve / maximize my health so i will add more on salt or maybe focus on the good minerals like potassium and magnesium.

The following video had 2-3 good things and plenty of useful basics.
Just focusing on exercise… Good in moderation= build up to what fits for you. Why?
