Habits + Brain Teaser Tuna Salad

A post that connects habit development with tuna consumption. Plus a tuna salad recipe with a secret ingredient that tricks your brain into thinking there's added salt. OVERVIEW Life is full of metaphorical boulders, rocks, and pebbles—no matter the size of an obstacle or problem, it deserves to be dealt with to help reduce longterm stress. One way to deal with your boulder, rock, or pebble is by enacting change, i.e. developing a new habit. Healthy Habit Recommendation Try to consume 2, 4 oz servings of fish weekly. Include tuna because it is common, easy to prepare, and rich in omega-3 fats. Keep reading for more details. Addressing Questions & Concerns Printable Table What are recommended brands for sustainable canned tuna? Considered “Best Choice” or “Good Alternative,” or are eco-certified by the Marine Stewardship Council (2): Fishing Vessel St. Jude Mind Fish Co.

Frijoles Negros Oaxaqueños

During my summer study abroad in Oaxaca, Mexico, I was exposed to a variety of new foods and cooking techniques. One of my absolute favorite things that I ate as part of breakfast in Oaxaca was Aurea's frijoles negros (stewed black beans). All Oaxacan cooks use avocado leaves for extra flavor in their frijoles negroes because sabor (flavor) is very important here. Ivette, Aurea's daughter, confided in me that she didn't like the food in France because in her eyes, it "had no sabor ." Avocado leaves lend a slight sweetness reminiscent of fennel, which offsets the spicy heat from the chiles de arbol. Black beans and corn tortillas are two popular staples in the southern part of Mexico, while in the north, pinto beans and flour tortillas predominate. I found hojas de aguacate (avocado leaves) at both a small Mexican store and in the Mexican aisle of a larger supermarket. So it is possible to make authentic Oaxacan beans outside of Mexico!

Sardine Sandwich

Being in the field of Nutrition makes me ponder my future more than the average individual. Constant talk about Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, renal failure, and age based deterioration makes me want to do as much as I can NOW to stay active and alert so that I age gracefully. One easy way to age well is by simply consuming one of the fabulous five (salmon, sardines, tuna, anchovies, or herring) on a weekly basis. In turn, sardines have become one of my favorite fish options because they require minimal preparation and make memorable sandwiches. In lieu of a second piece of bread, I recommend topping sandwiches with a leaf of red cabbage. The sandwich needs a sturdy piece of bread for its base, but another slice on top results in an overly bready lunch entrée. On the other hand, red cabbage adds pungent flavor, visual appeal, and makes the sandwich easier to eat because it conforms to the shape of your hand with just enough resistance . Sardines are fatty a

Vietnamese Tofu Tomato Soup

I've recently discovered the wonders of preparing tofu Vietnamese style, thanks to Mark Bittman's recipe . Bittman's dish showcases a wonderful sweet-salty preparation that transforms the simple into the sublime. If you're on the lookout for a culinary secret weapon, buy a bottle of fish sauce to complete your arsenal. Both this soup and Bittman's tofu get a punch of umami from a splash of this potent liquid. While doing some research on Vietnamese cuisine, I found an article by food writer Erin Zimmer who saw how fish sauce was made while exploring Vietnam. One of her tour guides said, "We like our fish sauce like you like your cheese—pungent." Looking for more tofu inspiration, I borrowed Asian Tofu from my local library and learned that the combination of tofu and another umami powerhouse, the tomato, is a Vietnamese classic. Brothy soup, or canh , is a mainstay in this culture; author Andrea Nguyen said her mother would always be

Inflammation + Kik Alicha (Ethiopian Turmeric Stew)

TOPIC Learn the fundamentals of inflammation , including the scoop on curcumin capsules and daily turmeric intake . Vicariously visit Ethiopia with a recipe for Kik Alicha , a turmeric spiced split pea wat or stew. Click here for a printable doc with information & no graphics. OVERVIEW Acute inflammation is part of both the body’s defense mechanism and healing process. Chronic inflammation is when the immune system goes into overdrive. Best practice is to make choices that manage or prevent chronic inflammation to avoid long-term internal damage (1). TYPES OF INFLAMMATION Acute inflammation is localized and lasts for a few hours or a few days. Examples include a sore throat from a cold, acute bronchitis, a sprained ankle, or an infected ingrown toenail (2). Subacute inflammation is a transitional period that lasts 2-6 weeks (3). Chronic inflammation , i.e. low grade inflammation, lasts a few months to years and has whole-body effects. Over time, chronic inflammation
