This month newsletter includes recipes, nutrition benefits of greens, tips for preparing greens, and tips for buying greens on a budget. We include recipes for Green Goodness Soup, Garlicky Rainbow Chard, and Apple Kale Salad, highlighting the nutrition benefits of greens and tips for preparing them. We also discuss the affordability of greens and the importance of Vitamin B in our diet.
In our section on slow over fast, we discuss the potential risks of intermittent fasting, specifically the 8-hour time-restricted eating method, on cardiovascular health. It highlights a study that found a higher risk of cardiovascular mortality in individuals who consumed most of their meals within an 8-hour window. We also talk about the uncertainty surrounding the underlying connection between fasting and cardiovascular death, as well as the importance of focusing on the quality of the diet.
Finally, we provide tips for maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including eating balanced meals, drinking water instead of high-calorie beverages, getting enough sleep, and engaging in regular exercise. We also suggest incorporating fruits, vegetables, beans, and fish into the diet while reducing red meat consumption. Meeting with a Registered Dietitian is recommended for personalized meal planning.
