Monday Motivation, Motivation

As we close our heart health month, Harlee Palmer, PA, leads an enlightening Motivation on the significance of Apolipoprotein B (APOB) in evaluating cardiovascular health.

This simple Italian soup is a meal in itself and a favorite in our house, particularly as a substitute for a Lenten meat-free Friday. I'm excited to share this recipe as it is something my Nona would often make for us when we visited her in New England. The ingredients below are the backbone of the soup; however, Nona would often include vegetable scraps from the week, such as celery, mushrooms, and carrots. Don't hesitate to do this and make it your own.. Nona always did! Ingredients: 1 cup chopped onion 2 tbls EVOO 3 cloves garlic, minced 1x (28 oz) can of Organic San Marzano stewed tomatoes (Whole Foods has a great, inexpensive option) 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth 1 (15 oz) can cannellini beans 1/4...

Not only is this delicious winter greens pesto recipe delicious, but it is also a gift for your heart. It has walnuts, which supply antioxidants and nutrients like magnesium and omega fatty acids. Walnuts deliver a plant-based fatty acid, alpha-lipoic acid (ALA), which is essential for heart health. The leafy greens are rich in fiber, potassium, vitamin K, magnesium, calcium, and folate, all-important supporters of cardiometabolic health. More importantly, the leafy greens are directly converted into nitric oxide, a powerful component in optimizing cardiac health. This pesto is exceptionally versatile and can be used over meats, vegetables, hummus, or vegetable noodles. Give it a try! Your heart will thank you!! Ingredients 7-8 cups of winter greens like kale, Swiss chard, beet greens, and baby spinach, stemmed and torn into...

[caption id="attachment_4141" align="alignleft" width="300"] Trish Bennett[/caption] National Eating Disorder Awareness Week is February 26th - March 3rd. 28.8 million Americans will suffer from an eating disorder in their lifetime.  Eating disorders can affect anyone and carry an increased risk of suicide and medical complications. I want to share my personal story with all of you, hoping it may resonate with you or someone you love. Suffering from bulimia and then anorexia for a decade, I weighed 79 pounds at the height of my disease. To put it bluntly, I should be dead right now. At age 30, I thought I had overcome it, but I would then trade one obsession for another (isn’t that always the case for addictive personalities). [caption id="attachment_11271" align="alignright" width="187"] This is me when I...
