Do not be turned off by this recipe. It is delicious, and you can think of this recipe as 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), 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,...

Even before 2020, Americans were getting sicker. Two-thirds of Americans are overweight and over half have a chronic disease, such as diabetes or heart disease. Yet overwhelming data demonstrates that many of these diseases could be prevented by transitioning to a plant-based diet. One of these diseases, which might surprise you, is cancer. An anti-cancer diet is often a plant-based one!   Cancer and a Plant-Based Diet   Multiple studies have linked a plant-based diet to a lower risk of cancer. IGF-1, an ingredient found in animal protein and processed foods, has been known to increase the growth and spread of cancerous cells in adults. Those with higher levels of IGF-1 may have a higher risk of cancer than those who eat a plant-based diet.   Not only that, but longitudinal...

Health Hints, Healthy Eating, Healthy Life, Lifestyle Medicine, Vitamins

We often discuss how calcium makes our bones stronger or that vitamin C improves our immune system. But magnesium is just as vital and important to add to your diet. Magnesium promotes good cardiovascular health and keeps your heart beating right.   Magnesium is a mineral that is responsible for many functions in the body. It helps keep nerves and muscles working, keeps bones strong, and helps control blood sugar. It also is necessary for maintaining normal blood pressure and a steady heartbeat.   In a 2019 review in Cardiology Research and Practice, researchers found those who have low levels of magnesium in their blood have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease. In particular, the researchers found low levels of magnesium were present in those with a higher risk...

Why Magnesium Matters: FDA Announces New Qualified Health Claim

Health Hints, Healthy Life, Lifestyle, Lifestyle Medicine

Tuesday, January 11, 2022 On January 10, 2022, the FDA announced a newly qualified health claim for magnesium and reduced risk of high blood pressure in a letter of enforcement discretion. Both health claims and qualified health claims characterize the relationship between a substance and a reduction in risk of contracting a particular disease or health-related condition and are reviewed by the FDA through a petition process. Qualified health claims are supported by less evidence than the "significant scientific agreement" standard governing unqualified health claims. Therefore, eligible health claims require a disclaimer or other qualifying language to avoid misleading consumers regarding the strength of the scientific evidence supporting the claim. In January, the FDA reviewed health claims related to magnesium. A review of multiple studies did show some...
