It has been about a month and I still have a bad cough, exhaustion & loss of taste.
⁣
I am pretty sure I had Covid way back at the beginning of the pandemic, but this bout was the worst in one aspect: for about a week it felt like I was literally swallowing handfuls of broken glass. Thankfully that part is over! ⁣
⁣
It is so weird as my husband and son did not get it as bad as I did, especially the sore throat.⁣
⁣
I hope you are all well and experiencing a better start to 2023 than me!⁣

You gotta love finding a cauliflower that is bigger than your head! Cauliflower is such a versatile vegetable. This one is going into a smart pot with onions, celery, sweet potato, tomato, garlic, red lentils, split peas and some red curry and sumac. Cauliflower is a cruciferous vegetable, high in Vitamin C, folate, choline, antioxidants, phytonutrients & fibre - super healthy!⁣
⁣
On a more depressing note, I had a mishap more than a week ago where I somehow managed to get hung up with one foot and then the other while attempting to cross over a chain draped between two posts. I wound up whacking the back of my head and upper back, with bad bruising to both legs from the chain. ⁣
⁣
A reluctant trip to emergency and CT scan resulted in a diagnosis of concussion and, sadly, the end of my current training program. So frustrating, as I was really seeing progress! I guess the good news is that my bones are actually pretty resilient since I was not able to break my fall at all so it was a pretty hard impact. I credit hormones, weight training & a nutrient rich diet for my narrow escape.
⁣
Anyhow, I have to take it easy for a few weeks until the symptoms of headache, blurry vision, nausea and dizziness subside.⁣
⁣
I hope you are all doing better and enjoying the end of summer!⁣

Here’s another amazing, highly recommended, whole food green supplement I got to try thanks to & . It contains 20 organic, fermented superfoods, packed with antioxidants for maximum health benefits! ⁣⁣
⁣
This energizing drink is far superior to a multi-vitamin pill, since the body readily absorbs food-based supplements. This contains phytonutrients that are often missing in our diets. It includes my fave spirulina & chlorella plus a bunch of medicinal mushrooms. It’s high in vitamins, minerals plus cancer-fighting & inflammation lowering compounds and is amazing for your gut health and to detox.⁣⁣
⁣
You can mix it into smoothies, puddings or other recipes, but I just shake up in a jar with water and chug it down quickly, as I find it very sweet to my taste.⁣ ⁣

Do you exercise with weights? It is truly one of the habits (along with training for flexibility & cardio) that helps us age well, as it preserves lean muscle and bone. ⁣I am happy to finally be back in the gym after more than 2 years. I find it motivating - since you’re there, what else is there to do?
⁣
I have been struggling with a bunch of health problems, including an autoimmune connective tissue disease, hypothyroidism, sleep apnea and a bout with both active Epstein-Barr (mono) and probably Covid at the start of 2020. As a result of chronic pain & exhaustion, I am usually in bed before some people have had dinner, so I have neglected this important aspect of fitness since the pandemic hit. I would like to 100% blame my sluggish thyroid for the extra pounds around my chest and middle, but I know it is also a result of my habits. It is frustrating to not be able to wear many of my clothes! It’s at the point where I need to either get a new wardrobe or tighten up my diet and include regular resistance training, not just walking a lot!
⁣⁣
Even though I like going to the gym, not everyone feels that way. If you have never tried weight training, there are so many great free resources online! I would recommend an app called “The 7 Minute Workout” where you can find body weight exercises that require no equipment at all & can be done anywhere. Some rubber bands and maybe a set of dumbbells might be a good investment if you don’t want to join a gym.⁣ And make sure to start slow - you don’t want to get an injury!

Did you know flowers are linked to greater happiness and life satisfaction in women? Flowers lift our spirits and this effect is even more profound in older people, studies have shown, even decreasing depression!⁣
⁣
I certainly love discovering the huge variety of beautiful blooms found in local gardens as I take my daily hikes around the neighbourhood. ⁣
⁣
What's your favourite flower? I am particularly fond of peonies and hydrangeas.⁣

⁣Want a dairy-free, sugar-free frozen treat? Ikea now has a plant-based strawberry cone! ⁣
⁣
It’s a bit tart and is sweetened with fruit, so not a bad choice if you are looking for something cold and creamy but not too sweet. The texture is similar to gelato. ⁣
⁣
Skip the cone if you want to avoid gluten.⁣

The first suggestion I give people to look & feel better is to increase their intake of greens, so I was excited to receive this product from & . ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Seaweed is particularly rich in nutrients and minerals, including B12 & iodine (which can be beneficial for thyroid function). ⁣Chlorella is unique in its ability to remove heavy metal toxins from the body. ⁣
⁣
I notice increased energy when I take chlorella or spirulina - this supplement has equal amounts of both! It’s packed with antioxidants & chlorophyll.⁣

Do you have a favourite healthy restaurant in your area? Please share! I try to keep a list of places to go when traveling.⁣
⁣
Last night we returned from an overnight trip to the countryside. We enjoyed a hike through the woods, then touring .mill and finally hot/cold therapy ⁣
⁣
I am always looking for healthy food on the road, so I was delighted to find in Collingwood. I enjoyed a tasty and filling bowl with quinoa, tempeh, tomato, carrot, chickpeas, cauliflower, caramelized onions, pumpkin seeds and tahini dressing. They had a lot of vegan & organic choices including delicious looking desserts, plus a menu with smoothies, salads & sandwiches.⁣
⁣
I would have preferred the tempeh to be less salty and a bit more sauce on the dish, but other than those tiny quibbles, I would definitely recommend this place!⁣

It’s Taco Tuesday! Here is a healthy version using a delicious and easy to make cauliflower walnut chorizo. ⁣
⁣
It is important to use organic corn tortillas - blue corn is best if you can find it! ⁣
⁣
Soak 1/2 c. sundried tomatoes in hot water 20 min, drain and chop finely. Sauté a large onion and 2 cloves of garlic in 2 T. of olive then add 4 c. finely chopped cauliflower & a splash of tamari soy sauce plus the chopped sundried tomatoes and spices - 1/2 tsp. cumin, 1 T. chili powder, 1 tsp. sumac, 1 tsp. dried oregano, ground black pepper & hot red pepper flakes to your taste.
⁣
Put on a lid and cook until soft, then stir in 2 c. finely chopped walnuts. ⁣The nuts give it a ground beef texture.
⁣
Heat up your taco shell on a hot iron skillet, spoon on your “chorizo” & serve with chopped tomato, avocado, shredded romaine lettuce & a sprinkle of cheese (I used vegan cheese but if you prefer dairy the best choice is either raw or sheep or goat cheese). ⁣

Jennifer Aniston ate the same salad every day at lunch for ten years! That has to be an amazing salad, right? After googling the ingredients, I decided to come up with my own similar version that is gluten-free with extra nutrient dense veggies added. I could eat this every day too!⁣
⁣
In a large bowl, stir together the following chopped ingredients: 2 c. cooked quinoa, 2 c. cooked chickpeas (if canned, drain & rinse), 1/2 c. sweet onion, 1 T. dried oregano (rub it between your hands), 1/2 c. shelled pistachios, 1 grated carrot, 1 red pepper, 1 small tomato, 1 stalk celery, 1 english cucumber and 1 small block goat, sheep or vegan feta. ⁣
⁣
Then add the dressing: Juice of large lemon, 1/4 c. olive oil, 2 finely chopped garlic cloves, 1 tsp. dijon mustard, 1 T. maple syrup, 1 tsp. sea salt & some freshly ground pepper. Shake up in a jar and pour over other ingredients! Enjoy your lunch!⁣
