Happy Thanksgiving to all of our Canadian Friends in and out of the Blogosphere.
Thanksgiving is one of the traditional holidays where those who have hypertension have problems keeping on any diet successfully as we all tend to think of that Turkey dinner high in calories, sodium and fats. Welcome to the DASH Diet friendly thanksgiving Dinner.
Creating a Successful thanksgiving dinner using the Dash Diet principle is not difficult when you remember that with the Dash Diet requires that you eat lots of vegetables, fruits, lean meats, fish, poultry, low fat and nonfat dairy, bean and nuts, and whole grain.
Here are just a few tips to help make your thanksgiving a Dash Diet Success:
* Make a low fat gravy by using a skimmer cup to remove most of the fat from the turkey drippings. Make your gravy high flavor by first sauteing onions or shallots along with minced garlic. Add red wine, and boil to burn off the alcohol, while leaving great flavor. Add the skimmed meat drippings. Use instant flour to thicken the hot gravy.
* Mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes are great sources of potassium, one of the key DASH diet nutrients. Use skim milk and light margarine for mashing.
* Cranberry sauce is a great source of antioxidants, which are great for your heart.
* If you are eating at a family or friends home, bring a vegetable dish or vegetable appetizers, so that you can be sure to have a healthy dinner.
Thank you Napkin Dad for this napkin, even though this may not have been about abuse, this illustrates that abuse can happen in seemingly normal homes.
The DASH Diet is an ideal way to help the environment as it recommends less meat and in fact encourages more protein sources coming from fish, poultry, legumes and nuts.
How can a diet help the environment?
At Success Health News we came across this story from The Guadian
UN says eat less meat to curb global warming
People should have one meat-free day a week if they want to make a personal and effective sacrifice that would help tackle climate change, the world’s leading authority on global warming has told The Observer…….
Pachauri, who was re-elected the panel’s chairman for a second six-year term last week, said diet change was important because of the huge greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental problems - including habitat destruction - associated with rearing cattle and other animals. It was relatively easy to change eating habits compared to changing means of transport, he said.
To speed up the ripening process, place hard nectarines in a paper bag with an unripe banana.
NECTARINES
A nectarine is a fuzz less variety of peach. It is NOT a cross between a peach and a plum.
Nectarines, like peaches, probably originated in China over 2,000 years ago and were cultivated in ancient Persia, Greece and Rome. They were grown in Great Britain in the late 16th or early 17th centuries, and were introduced to America by the Spanish.
The word ‘nectarine’ means sweet as nectar, and this is very likely the obvious origin of the name.
Today, California grows over 95% of the nectarines produced in the United States.
To have success in the DASH Diet and your health, you need to remember that vegetables including carrots are very important. Here are is a guideline for eating vegetables.
