Health Tip of The Week!

Water or Coke?

 

WATER

1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.

2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger.

3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one’s metabolism as much as 30%.

4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of Washington study.

5. Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.

6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers. 

7. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page. 

8. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer.

 

COKE

1. In many states (in the USA) the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the truck to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.

2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of coke and it will be gone in two days.

3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and let the “real thing” sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china.

4. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.

5. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion. 

6. To loosen a rusted bolt: Applying a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.

7. To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of coke into a load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains. It will also clean road haze from your windshield.

  

IMPORTANT INFO

1. The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. Its pH is 2.8. It will dissolve a nail in about 4 days. Phosphoric acid also leaches calcium from bones and is a major contributor to the rising increase in osteoporosis.

 

2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate) the commercial truck must use the Hazardous material place cards reserved for Highly corrosive materials.

3. The distributors of coke have been using it to clean the engines of their trucks for about 20 years!

 

Now the question is, would you like a glass of water or coke?

Secretly Healthy Spinach Dip!!!!!

(Another FB Recipe Find!)

 

 

 

 

SO glad I found this! I could eat this stuff for breakfast, lunch and dinner! YUM!

 

Everyone has someone in their family who doesn’t like to eat anything they think is “healthy.” That’s why I have to be super creative with my recipes, and secretive when I use cottage cheese. Just a general trick, substituting cottage cheese for sour cream reduces that fat and adds a ton of protein to a meal. Just be sure to first blend the cottage cheese and no one will be able to tell the difference.

Lindsey’s Spinach Dip Recipe

Ingredients needed:

1 10 oz container of frozen chopped spinach – defrost and squeeze out all the juice

1-2 5 oz cans of sliced water chestnuts – dice into small pieces

1 8 oz container of 1% cottage cheese – blend with a handheld blender or in a traditional blender until smooth & creamy

 1 packet ranch dressing

 

 After completing the above tasks, mix well, eat, and enjoy! No baking or cooking needed...

Blow your MIND" Tomato Basil Pasta!

 

Throw it all in the pot, INCLUDING the uncooked Pasta, and cook! - Bring it to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. The starch leaches out of the pasta and makes a rich, warm sauce for the noodles. The other ingredients cook right along with the pasta!!!! (Yes, that's right...no straining, just stirring)

 

 

Ingredients

12 ounces pasta (I used Linguine)

 1 can (15 ounces) diced tomatoes with liquid ( I used zesty red pepper flavor)

 1 large sweet onion, cut in julienne strips

 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

 2 teaspoons dried oregano leaves

 2 large sprigs basil, chopped

 4 1/2 cups vegetable broth (regular broth and NOT low sodium)

 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

 Parmesan cheese for garnish

 

Directions

Place pasta, tomatoes, onion, garlic, basil, in a large stock pot. Pour in vegetable broth. Sprinkle on top the pepper flakes and oregano. Drizzle top with oil.

Cover pot and bring to a boil. Reduce to a low simmer and keep covered and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes or so. Cook until almost all liquid has evaporated – I left about an inch of liquid in the bottom of the pot – but you can reduce as desired .

Season to taste with salt and pepper , stirring pasta several times to distribute the liquid in the bottom of the pot. Serve garnished with Parmesan cheese.

Recipe Review: Walking Tacos

A few months ago I had this great idea about trying out the recipes that I see floating around Facebook. If you are like me then you are seeing alot of different food pictures on your timeline as well as the recipes for that particular dish. The main reason that I am so interested in these food post are that they give me the opportunity to see what the dish should look like and many of the cookbooks that I own do not. I need my food to be visually appealing in order to want to try it as well as serve it to my family, friends or maybe take to a "covered dish" event.

This first recipe I am sure many of you may have seen already but I couldn't resist because being a parent at the beginning of summer screams "Walking Tacos!". I love this one and so does my family. This is perfect for any day that you need some thing quick and easy. It is also good for the days that you know your kitchen is already clean and you don't want to be bothered with a big clean up afterwards (for me that is everyday...lol!)

Step 1: Crush up a snack size bag of fritos

Step 2: Put taco meat and any other toppings you want in the bag.

 Step 3: Mix it with a fork (or shake up in the bag) and there you go!

I Don't Think So!

Recipe Review: The Pioneer Woman

Creamy Chicken Spaghetti Casserole

Here’s a recipe that I tried out last week that was a big hit at my house.  It is from The Pioneer Woman.  She has a show on Food Network, and I have a total girl crush on her LOL!  I used boneless skinless chicken breasts instead of cooking a whole chicken, or you could get you a rotisserie from the store.  I also didn’t use the black olives (wasn’t feeling that), mostly canned chicken stock vs all stock from the pot, and about a cup of heavy cream and ½ cup 2% milk versus using all whole milk.  It makes a HUGE batch, and my family loved it.

What's Up Doc? Healthy Tip of The Day

Today I made a batch of chicken soup! So today's health tip will be on the medicinal purposes of soup. Generally, a good soup should be loaded with vegetables thus giving antioxidants to fight disease. A protein (chicken, beef, lentils) that will aide in the healing process of injuries and provides a long-term energy source. A small amount of a carbohydrate for rapid energy. Have A Healthy Day!!
