Pizza De Verduras Asadas via Spain



¿A quién no le gusta la pizza?
La pizza de hoy es una de esas sanotas, con verduritas asadas en el horno bien despacito, que con una buena ensalada nos "apañan" una comida o una cena.


INGREDIENTES: (2 pizzas medianas)
- 300g de harina de fuerza
- 200g de agua templada
- 1/2 cta. de sal
- 1 sobre de levadura seca de panadero
- 1/2 calabacín
- 1/2 berenjena
- 1/2 pimiento rojo
- 1/2 pimiento amarillo
- 1/2 cebolla
- Queso parmesano
- 4cdas. salsa de tomate casera


PREPARACIÓN:
Para la masa: Hacemos un volcán con la harina, la levadura y la sal. Añadimos el aceite y mezclamos un poco. Incorporamos el agua poco a poco mientras vamos amasando hasta obtener una masa lisa.
Metemos en un bol la masa y tapamos con papel film, dejamos repasar durante 45minutos o hasta que doble de volumen.
Separamos la masa en dos y estiramos cada parte con el rodillo hasta darle la forma que deseemos.
Las colocamos sobre la bandeja del horno y dejamos que repose otros 10 minutos.

Verduras: Cortamos en cuartos las verduras, salamos y rociamos con aceite. Horneamos a 200º hasta que las verduras estén hechas. Dejamos que enfrien un poco, quitamos la piel a los pimientos y cortamos las verduras en tiras.

Ponemos un poco de salsa de tomate sobre la masa, las verduras encima y abundante parmesano rallado. Horneamos a 200º hasta que tengamos una pizza dorada y apetitosa...

Chicken Breasts with Strawberry Avocado Salsa










You will love this recipe, as this is the closest to the one I make every week.
Though I use Dash as the seasoning, with olive oil only on the chicken. 
This is what I fix for guests, and friends. I even cooked my chicken to my sister
 and to this day I think they call it Lynn's Chicken. I try to find recipes as close as
 possible as the ones I make for my healthy lifestyle.

Nuts improve mood and brain function

Pakistan: Nuts improve mood and brain function

Nuts, especially walnuts, almonds and hazelnuts, combined with the potent polyphenol resveratrol team, together improve mood and protect the aging brain, thus helping to maintain memory and cognition. Researchers reporting in the New England Journal of Medicine have found that nuts consumed over a period of years not only help with weight management issues, but also can reduce systemic inflammation to improve spirits and prevent cognitive decline. Resveratrol has long been associated with brain health. The Journal of Pineal Research reports that resveratrol demonstrates anti-aging properties in the brain necessary for energy production and optimal brain function. Combining these two natural agents together as part of your healthy diet can improve mood, help retain memories and preserve youthful thought patterns.

Researchers determined to validate the health-promoting capacity of nuts provided test participants with a diet of walnuts, almonds and hazelnuts for a period of 12 weeks. The volunteers for this study were sex and age-matched individuals given a control diet, and were compared to a group not receiving the nut mixture. All participants exhibited symptoms of metabolic syndrome, increasing risk for developing diabetes, heart disease, mood disorders and loss of cognition. Individuals receiving the nuts had increased levels of serotonin, which will help a person feel better and potentially more satisfied and less likely to suffer from depression and poor mood. Additionally, the nut control group demonstrated reduced inflammatory markers from the high polyphenol content of the nuts. This is an important finding, as individuals exhibiting the signs of metabolic syndrome experience the effects of systemic inflammation leading to accelerated brain aging and cognitive decline.

Mitochondria are the tiny metabolic engines that are responsible for powering each of our trillion or so cells throughout the body. Over time, mitochondria begin to experience loss of function, and cellular decline and aging of the cell begin. Mitochondrial regulation is controlled in large part by the ’longevity’ gene known as Sirt1. Calorie restriction and potent natural nutrients such as resveratrol are known to alter expression of the Sirt1 gene. Researchers have demonstrated that resveratrol is able to restore neural mitochondria function by reviving Sirt1 gene expression; resveratrol provides "a potent anti-aging effect within the brain."

The human brain is a highly metabolic organ, demanding 20% of the total oxygen supply for the body. As such, it is also susceptible to the effects of oxidative stress and free radical damage that cause brain inflammation and advanced signs of aging. Natural nutrients such as resveratrol (25 - 50 mg per day) that cross the blood-brain barrier and foundation monounsaturated fats supplied by most nuts (1 to 2 ounces each day) and seeds protect the brain from damage and dramatically lower the risk of memory loss and cognitive decline.

Green Party concern, on health and exports-Now Kiwifruit?

Green Party concerned it will impact human health, and our exports. 







Kiwifruit growers in the areas badly effected by the disease PSA will soon be spraying their vines with antibiotics. A move that has some growers and the Green Party concerned it will impact human health, and our exports. But the kiwifruit vine health board says it is a necessary measure. Kiwifruit grower Bruce Hutchinson has lost everything. There was hope for a block that was disease free on Friday but today he is without a single healthy plant. “In this last block we have symptoms and it looks like we'll have to carry on and cut the complete orchard out,” he says. Spring has seen a big increase in infected vines. Two hundred and twenty eight orchards now have the most serious PSA-V strain.

So the group charged with controlling the disease has decided that an antibiotic spray will be used as a protectant on vines. “We have nearly 50 percent of gold orchards infected in the Te Puke area, and we're getting an increase in the number of infections by about 20 infections a week,” says John Burke from Kiwifruit Vine Health Incorporated. The European Union does not allow residues of antibiotics in imported fruit. Zespri says it will make sure there will be no residue on exports but Independent Kiwifruit Growers Association are not convinced. “If there is accidental residue in the fruit, who is going to pay for that fruit, how is that going to be disposed of? A lot of the growers are struggling financially, the last thing they need is for their fruit to have zero return,” says Chris Dunn from IKGA.
A small amount of streptomycin is allowed on kiwifruit sold domestically but because it is used in human medicine there are concerns it will effect human health. “It is unwise to be spreading it around the environment. It will lead to antibiotic resistance,” says Green MP Sue Kedgely. But Mr Hutchinson says he is ready to try anything now that he has to build up his business all over again.
