 Seafood Is a Recipe for Building Bones By Grace O
Bone-building protein is in abundant supply in meats and dairy products, such as yogurt and cream. Seafood also has plenty of protein per square inch. Seafood chowder with cream and potatoes is very good for bone health. Beans are an excellent vegetarian source of protein. A lentil and kale salad is a significant source of both protein and calcium. You can even combine all of the above nutrients into a bone-building recipe or two. Try making a seafood gumbo with beans, collard greens, and miso paste. Or create a fruit salad of kiwi fruit, figs, apricots, and bananas to spoon over yogurt. Enjoy it with a glass of soy milk and say a toast to your healthy snack. Be sure not to drink too much cola, however (more than two drinks per week), because the phosphoric acid in them might leach calcium from your bones. Read More

Recently, the CDC--Centers for Disease Control--got into nutrient profiling as well. They've identified certain foods that they claim are most "strongly associated with reduced chronic disease risk."

 Honey Lemon-Grass Tea
By Grace O
Lemon-grass, a plant native to India, looks like stiff grass stalks but smells a bit like lemon. In this recipe, you use the tough green parts of the herb along with the more edible white portion of the stalks, because you will only steep the plant. Like lemon-grass, honey-especially natural or raw honey-is an antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-fungal food. Fructose gives it fewer calories than cane or beet sugar, and the body tolerates it better, too. Honey also contains antioxidants and is a natural cough remedy. Lemon-grass can be found at Melissas.com and at Indian markets and Asian markets. Get The Recipe!
