| Greetings!
I hope you're having a great month. I just did a talk earlier this week at Whole Foods on anti-inflammatory eating so read my article to get some of the highlights.
Today I'll be on KCR radio (SDSU's radio station) at 9:40am to talk about how to get a bikini body for summer. You can listen in here.

TRX Workout at the ARC
|
I recently filmed a simple workout you can do on the TRX suspension trainer. The TRX suspension trainer has become popular in recent years as a versatile piece of functional training equipment. It was originally developed by a former Navy Seal in response to the demand for a total body workout with minimal equipment. The TRX allows you to work on all major muscle groups and uses your own weight as resistance.

Top Anti-Inflammatory Foods
|
 Inflammation is the body's natural response to stress, infection, or injury. However, when the natural balance of the immune system is disrupted, the system shifts into a chronic state of alarm. This "silent" prolonged inflammation can show up in many different ways - bloating, inability to lose weight, joint pain, headaches, premature aging, etc. The more inflammation there is in the body, the more likely you are to develop diseases like cancer, heart disease, autoimmune issues and the more likely you are to advance the progression of these. Some of the causes of inflammation include a poor diet, lack of exercise, stress, chronic infections, and environmental allergens.
Sugar, refined flours, processed meats, food additives, trans fats, as well as many cooking oils like cottonseed, sunflower, corn are all highly inflammatory. The best way to prevent inflammation is to eat real, whole foods - stay away from the processed junk. My top 10 anti-inflammatory foods are: - dark leafy greens (kale, chard, spinach) - wild salmon - sulfur rich veggies (broccoli, Brussels sprouts, onion, garlic) - avocados - sea vegetables (seaweed, kelp, nori) - berries - sweet potatoes - coconut - spices (I talked about them in this newsletter) |

Moroccan Chicken Stew
| Thanks to Marissa for this recipe. 
We made this at our anti-inflammatory cooking class at Cups a few months ago. I've also made this with ground turkey instead of chicken.
Ingredients:
2 cups chicken broth ¼ cup tomato paste 2 teaspoon ground cumin 1 teaspoon sea salt ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, finely chopped ½ teaspoon ground turmeric ½ cup peas, shelled or in pods ½ cup raisins or currants 1 medium onion, thinly sliced 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 pounds butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1 ½ inch chunks (5 cups) 1 can chickpeas, rinsed and drained 4 skinless chicken thighs (about 1 ½ pounds) with visible fat removed Directions: In a 4-5 quart dutch oven, whisk chicken broth, tomato paste, cumin, salt, cayenne and cinnamon until blended. Stir in the remaining ingredients and bring to a gentle boil. Cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer 25-30 minutes until squash is tender and chicken is opaque near the bone. |
