Horseradish is native to the Mediterranean, although it has been growing wild in Britain for centuries, as it has in the rest of Europe and Scandinavia. It grows virtually anywhere and we used to take a shovel and dig a root up when we needed it in Wales. You don’t have to go to those extremes, and it’s probably illegal to do so now; you can buy it in powdered or grated form or in ready-made sauces, including one with Roquefort cheese. It is related to the wallflower family and to mustard and Brassica, such as broccoli. It contains the same constituent (sinigrin) as black mustard seed, and is now used as a condiment in much the same way as mustard is. The French call horseradish Moutarde des Allemandes, or mustard of the Germans, as it was these people who first used it as a condiment in Europe.

Merging into One-ness…effortlessly by Davidji, 3/19/2013

Keep Calm and Breathe On“All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts we create the world.” the Buddha

There’s a voice inside you that is constantly speaking…in whispers…in shouts… in chatter…in murmurs…in guidance…and in an ongoing conversation between YOU and YOURSELF. At lightning speed, your senses absorb an impression, your brain receives it, a thought manifests, your intellect processes it, your inner voice puts it in context, and then moves you to the next moment. This relentless process continues unceasingly through every moment… every hour of every day. This is your inner dialog – responding to life as it unfolds before you and within you.

Wherever you spend your time; whatever you read or watch; however you move through your day, ultimately becomes the fabric of your inner dialog. Watch a lot of movies…it becomes you; practice a certain asana regularly…it becomes you; eat a certain type of food…it becomes you; read a particular author or perspective…it becomes you; spend a lot of time in a certain place…it becomes you…and on and on it goes.

medical doctor fruit 263x164 NYC Allows Doctors to Prescribe Fruits and Veggies Instead of PillsJust last week, Deputy Mayor Linda Gibbs and Health Commissioner Thomas Farley announced the Fruit and Vegetable Prescription Program, which actually allows doctors in the NYC area to give at-risk families better access to local produce. The program allows them to prescribe fruit and vegetables! 

Obese and overweight patients and their families can be given “Health Bucks”. These can be redeemed at more than 140 NYC farmers markets. They are essentially free vouchers for truly better health.

“We’re not only teaching them just about eating healthy,” said Dr. Shefali Khanna with Lincoln Medical Center. “This is really an investment for the future. And we hope we have a whole generation of kids who benefit from this, and reaches adulthood at a healthy optimal weight.”

The program gives patients $1 in Health Bucks each day for each member of their family over a period of four months.

Living in Balance: Why You Need Bitter Herbs and Foods for Radiant Health by By Marc David M.A.

HJ: One of the most neglected concepts in Western health and nutritional theory is that of balance.  Chinese medicine, on the other hand, heavily emphasizes balance when it comes to diet and strives to maintain that over all else.  The human body is wired to maintain balance over all else.  Imbalances, especially in diet, always cause over compensation in the opposite direction in order to maintain the yin/yang balance that keeps the body in homeostasis.  That is why dietary changes are best implemented slowly,  so that the body is not thrown into a state of shock and can adjust accordingly.

askthedietitianRD, LD, CBN, NBNC:  acronyms for licensed and or registered dietitians.  These are the professionals who work in the medical fields, and your doctor or specialist likely has one on staff.  They are in the hospitals, nursing homes and rehabilitation facilities.  A lot of them go on to work for companies like NutriSystem, Jenny Craig, or one of those “Medi-Fast Weight Loss” centers.  Some large globo-gyms have one or two on staff, and they are the contributing editors and staff writers for the “Health & Lifestyle” sections of major publications.  They are the folks who are responsible for health & science-based nutritional advice regarding your specific illness, disease or concern.  When you are diagnosed with IBS, your doctor will send you into the office of his RD, and he or she will tell you to eat more fiber and drink more water.   If you are unfortunate and get the diagnosis of T2 Diabetes, an RD will be assigned to your case & then advise you to eat whole wheat, whole grains and maintain a low fat diet.  They give advice such as “eat baked chips, and diet coke instead of regular.  Get low fat peanut butter and low fat yogurt, drink fat free milk and fortified bread with added fiber.”
