What I am up to....
This Labor day weekend I will be spending as much time outside as I can laying in the sand, you will see why when you read the article below on Earthing. My arm is almost healed so I will be kayaking for the first time in 6 weeks. Yeah! Try to go out and enjoy the summer now it will soon be gone.   The vegetalbes in the farmers markets are plentiful.  I bought some local eggplants and peppers which looked so good. I made Capanata and seved it over quinoa, very satisfying. Eggplants have a host of vitamins and minerals and important photonutrients, many which have antioxidant activity.

Eat well and enjoy your weekend!
EARTHING - CONNECT TO THE EARTH TO FEEL BETTER

 

 

Did you know you could improve your health by just walking on the earth? This is a concept known as Earthing or Grounding. It is probably one of the most important discoveries and medical breakthroughs of the 21 Century. Direct contact with the earth on a regular basis will restore the body's natural electrical state, calm the nervous system, reduce inflammation, balance your hormones and improve circulation. Grounding naturally discharges pain, inflammation and stress. Medical professionals all over the world are astounded by the results they are getting from this simple process. There is scientific proof Earthing improves our well being. You can check out the book at www.earthing.com. When you are Earthing you reconnect with the earth's electrical energy.

Dr Sinatra the cardiologist who did the research and wrote the book, believes that because modern life has disconnected us from the earth our bodies are deficient in electrons. Since we live in buildings high off the ground we are separated from the earth's electrical energy. This separation from the earth causes our body to be deficient in elections resulting in chronic inflammation.This can lead to diseases like diabetes, arthritis and cancer. It is the earth's electrical charge that protects and stabilizes or body's own electrical system, recharging and healing us.

 

HOW DOES IT WORK

 

The surface of the earth has an unlimited supply of negatively charged "free" electrons. Toxins from our food and environment cause positively charged free radicals in our body, creating inflammation. When our body makes a connection to the earth, electrons automatically flow from the place where they are plentiful (the earth) to where they are not (our body). The earth's free electrons help neutralize those positively charge free radicals. We often get a feeling of well being when we make this connection. This contact triggers health benefits.

 

HOW DO WE CONNECT WITH THE EARTH'S ELECTRICAL CHARGE?

 

In order to get the benefits of the earth you need to walk barefoot or sit with your feet touching the ground for 30 minutes. You can also swim in the ocean which is high in the minerals needed to conduct the electricity. Any direct contact with your skin will work. If you are gardening you can kneel on the ground with your bare skin. To get results you must have direct sustained skin contact. Laying in the grass in the park will work too.

Try Earthing for yourself ....see how you feel.

 

 Caponata  
                        

 

¼ cup olive oil

1 medium eggplant about 4 cups cut it in cubes

1 cup red onion chopped

1 cup celery thinly sliced

1 Tb chopped anchovies (optional)

1 cup red bell pepper chopped

1 cup of canned diced tomatoes with juices

¼ cup red wine (optional)

½ cup black pitted olives quartered

2 Tb capers

2 tbsp fresh oregano, chopped

3 tbsp fresh basil, chopped

Pinch of stevia (optional you might need it if you don't use the red wine)

 

 

Salt the eggplant and let it sweat for about 30-45 minutes before chopping - -this will take a lot of the bitterness out of it. Rinse and squeeze dry in a towel.

 

Heat oil. Sauté onions and celery for a few minutes until softened.

Add pre-salted eggplant. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes.

Add bell pepper and anchovies. Cook for 2-3 minutes.

Add diced tomatoes and red wine. Allow to cook until it turns into a stew and the ingredients start to marry. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.

Add the olives, capers and fresh herbs. Stir and remove from heat.

Serve over quinoa or as a side dish with chicken.
