As You Age


Sadly, I'm getting older...it happens to the best of us!!!  I find myself having those oh so wonderful "senior moments" more often (or "brain farts", if you will), so you can imagine how happy I was to have found this great study on the surprising causes of memory loss in Bottom Line Personal, as knowing the cause of a problem is often be the first step to fixing or controlling it!  While it is true that age and memory are intertwined, it turns out that age is not the sole reason that we forget things.  Memory loss often can be traced to some of the following factors:

 

Low Testosterone

Low Estrogen

Low Thyroid

Impaired Circulation

Exposure to Mercury

 

Talk to your doctor if you suspect that your memory may be slipping and see about getting tested for some of the above possible causes.  There are treatments for many of them and they're worth looking in to at the very least... Now, hopefully I won't "forget" about all of this before my next doctor's appointment!!!

 

 



Coconut-Lime Chicken & Snow Peas

We're sticking with heart healthy recipes all month long for American Heart Month!  The many antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds in peas support healthy blood vessels and the generous amounts of vitamin B1 and folate, B2, B3, and B6 reduce homocysteine levels, which are a risk factor for heart disease.  This is a great recipe we found on heart.org... Peas, give it a try!   
 
Ingredients (serves 2):
  • 1 cup "lite" coconut milk (see CookTips) 
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 8 ounces chicken tenders
  • 4 cups shredded romaine lettuce
  • 1 cup shredded red cabbage
  • 1 cup sliced snow peas
  • 3 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons minced red onion 

Preheat oven to 400�F. 2 . Whisk coconut milk, lime juice, sugar and salt in an 8-by-8-inch glass baking dish. Transfer 1/4 cup of the dressing to a large bowl; set aside. Place chicken in the baking dish; bake until cooked through, about 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, add lettuce, cabbage, snow peas, cilantro and onion to the large bowl with the dressing; toss to coat. Divide between 2 plates.

Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and thinly slice. Arrange the chicken slices on top of the salads. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of the coconut cooking liquid over each of the salads.  

 

Peas, peas, peas...  

they're good for your heart!
