Tuscan Meatloaf

Meatloaf is a fantastic food because you can make it on a Sunday and it only takes about 20 minutes to prepare. The great thing about this recipe is that you’ll have leftovers for the week because it makes a total of 6 servings. Traditional meatloaf can be high in fat, depending on how you prepare it. This is a great variation on meatloaf with everything in one pan – protein, carbohydrates and veggies all wrapped up in good fats and great Tuscan seasoning. Serve this with a side salad and you are guaranteed not only a great meal but one that will offer a healthy alternative that is truly good for your body.

Here is what you will need:

2 – 15 ounce cans no salt added white beans (drained and rinsed)
2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp rubbed sage
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp ground fennel seed
4 cloves garlic (finely minced)
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1 1/2 lbs extra lean ground beef
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 small onion (diced)
2 ribs celery (diced)
1 medium carrot (peeled and diced)
1 – 15 ounce cans no salt added diced tomatoes (un-drained)
8 large black olives (thinly sliced)
1/4 cup water

Preheat oven to 325°F.

Mash 1/2 can of the beans together with the oregano, paprika, fennel, 3 cloves of the garlic, salt and pepper.

Mix the ground beef together with the mashed beans until well blended. Fold in the other 1/2 can of beans.

Roll the mixture into a large ball and then shape it into a loaf. Place the loaf in the refrigerator.

Place the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for about 3 minutes. Add the onions, celery and carrot and cook for about 5 minutes. Add the diced tomatoes, stir and add the second can of white beans and sliced olives and the water.

Place the meatloaf in a pan surrounded by the vegetable and bean mixture.

Place the pan in the oven. Cook for about 90 minutes, basting the top occasionally with the tomato sauce from the pan. Cook until the internal temperature is 150°F. Remove from the oven and let rest for about 5 – 10 minutes before slicing.

This year’s flu season may be unique, for several different reasons. For one thing, this is the first time that doctors and federal health officials are urging almost everyone (not just the people in high-risk groups) to get vaccinated. In addition, a particularly virulent strain of the flu, which is most dangerous to the elderly, might circulate this year. There have already been cases of this flu-bug cropping up, in isolated numbers, in the Midwest. Because of this new concern, it is important for you educate yourself about what this year’s flu season could bring.

Here are five things that you should know about this year’s flu season:

1) This year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are highly recommending the flu vaccine for everyone over the age of 6 months. The studies are saying that the more people who are vaccinated, the less that the flu circulates. This is based on the fact that when “healthy people” are protected, it will better protect those that are at the highest risk for flu complications. This is in regards to the elderly, babies younger than 6 months, pregnant women and those with chronic medical problems. Doctors are saying that, “Everyone needs to get it” and that there should be more than enough supply this year. As a result, there will be no “rationing” the vaccine to only certain groups of people, as in years past. Incidentally, if you, or your kids, don’t like needles, there is even a nasal-spray that can be administered, in place of a flu shot. If you are between the ages of 2 and 49, you can get the nasal-spray vaccine.

2) This year, you only need one vaccine. Last year was different; people had to stand in line twice to get full protection from the flu: once for the typical seasonal flu and then a second time for the swine flu. This year, the primary vaccine provides protection against the swine flu (H1N1), as well as two other flu strains. The only exception to this is children who are under the age of nine who are receiving their first flu vaccine. They will need two flu shots, a month apart from each other, to properly boost their immune system.

3) It’s okay to get the vaccine now, in fact, the sooner the better. This is one of the first years that doctors have been administering the vaccinations as early as the middle of August. Don’t delay, it’s important to get in as soon as possible.

4) It is predicted that we could be in for a nasty strain of flu this season. One strain of flu expected to circulate is the H3N2. This year’s vaccination protects against it, as well as H1N1 and a Type B strain of flu. It has been reported that the H3N2 virus tends to make older people very ill, often resulting in death. That’s why when H3N2 is the dominant flu virus; more people die from it. This is because the elderly are particularly vulnerable to getting sick from other people around them who haven’t been vaccinated and are already infected. The elderly person’s immune system is simply not able to properly combat the H3N2 virus.

5) A new high-dose vaccine is available for those who are age 65 and older this year. As people age, their immune system becomes weaker and more susceptible to attacks. This vaccine is called Fluzone. It is a high-dose version of the vaccination that most people receive. It has four times the usual amount of antigen, which is the part of the vaccine that causes your body to produce the antibody that protects you from that particular flu virus. It’s important to note that health officials are still studying whether more antigens in vaccine actually leads to better protection. That has not been scientifically determined yet. The Center for Disease Control says that is a personal choice, as to whether you want to try it or not. In addition, some local doctors and certain states are not yet providing the high-dose vaccine this year. It might still be available at some local pharmacies; however, and may even be covered by some insurance companies.

Now is the time to start strengthening your immune system.  Start with a good multivitamin and start getting into the habit of washing your hands.

The Mediterranean Diet symbolizes the healthy foods that are eaten by those people whose countries surround the Mediterranean Sea. Their diets are higher in vegetables, legumes (beans and peas), fruits, nuts and whole grain cereals. The main fat used in all of their cooking is olive oil and there is less use of highly saturated fats like butter and lard.

Unlike the typical American diet which consists of beef and poultry as the main animal protein, they eat mostly fish. Some dairy products are consumed, although much of that is in the form of cultured products like cheeses and yogurt. The lower intake of poultry and red meats is coupled with a moderate consumption of wine (mostly with meals).

The Mediterranean Diet has become a focus of attention because the people in these areas seem to live longer, healthier lives than people in other parts of the world. Numerous studies have shown this to be true. The Mediterranean Diet, for the most part, includes fewer calories and better quality foods than the diet that has evolved in America and Western cultures. The interest in this way of eating began because of the longevity of those who have traditionally eaten this way, in this part of the world.

This dish is delicious, nutritious and full of ingredients that are not only good for you but are also more easily digested by your stomach, as compared to heavy portions of red meat. In addition, the fats that are contained in this dish are the type that is good for your heart, rather the heavier saturated fats that Western food contains.

This recipe can be multiplied by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10.

Here is what you will need:

1 small shallot (minced)
1 clove garlic (minced)
1 tangerine (peeled, seeded and separated into sections)
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 tsp caper juice
2 tsp capers
1/4 tsp salt
fresh ground black pepper (to taste)
1 Tbsp cilantro leaves
2 – 4 ounce halibut fillets
spray olive oil

Combine the shallot, garlic, tangerine, olive oil, caper liquid, capers, salt, pepper and cilantro. Toss and then chill.

When ready to cook place a large non-stick skillet over high heat. Spray lightly with oil when the pan is hot and then add the halibut fillets. Cook for about 6 – 8 minutes and then turn. Cook for another 6 – 8 minutes.

Serve over rice and top with the tangerine mixture.

This is not true. Not only have two different studies shown that this type of cardio is not the best way to burn belly fat, there have also been some indications that it might not have any effects on burning fat in your belly at all. In each study, low intensity exercise (LIE) was compared against either interval training or high-intensity cardio. The LIE cardio workouts not only lasted for a longer period of time but they were also shown to be a less effective way to burn belly fat. Why would you want to do something for 40 to 60 minutes (LIE) when there are other more effective methods that require a much shorter period of time? LIE is not an effective technique.

Belly Fat Myth #2 – You must do cardio in the morning, on an empty stomach to burn belly fat.

This is also false. You can exercise any time of the day, with food in your system and still burn belly fat. There is no requirement about doing it in the morning or that you starve while you do it.

Belly Fat Myth #3 – You must do cardio everyday to burn belly fat.

Although some die-hard people may choose to do cardio every day, it is not a requirement to allowing your body to lose excess fat in your belly. Three to five days a week of cardiovascular training is more than enough to increase your metabolism so that you can burn off those extra pounds. This takes into consideration that you are not eating more calories than you are burning. The most effective training programs strictly monitor the number of calories coming in, versus the number of calories being burned. In addition, it is important to remember that every cell of muscle that you add to your body; is like a little fat-burning factory that helps to boost your natural “resting” metabolism. Muscle burns more calories than fat does and the more muscle you can gain, the faster your natural metabolism will be. For this reason, doing cardiovascular everyday is not a requirement for effectively losing belly fat. There are many other techniques that should be used in combination with cardiovascular.

Belly Fat Myth #4 – You must do cardio in the “fat burning zone.”

The fat burning zone is a myth from the 1980′s. It is based on having an upper and lower range for your target heart rate. The lower rate is the minimally required heart rate required to provide cardiovascular benefits while the upper threshold is there to prevent your body from beginning to burn muscle, instead of fat. The myth assumes that if the heart rate gets too high, that muscle will then be burned, while fat tissue is overlooked. This is completely false. The most effective cardiovascular workouts are obtained by getting good and sweaty and pushing yourself to raise your heartbeat to a high level which is still safe for your body. A doctor can tell you what level this might be for your particular body type.

Bely Fat Myth #5 – Cardio is better than resistance training for burning belly fat.

New research is showing that this, in fact, is not true. Studies have very clearly shown that people of all ages can burn belly fat, while gaining muscle at the same time, with resistance training. Men and women lost an average of 4 pounds of fat, without doing any cardiovascular exercise or changing their diet, in a 12-week resistance training program. Resistance training focuses on replacing fat with muscle and it is a very effective tool against fighting belly fat.

Researchers have found that many people are diffecent in vitamin D. Vitamin D has been found to reverse a person mood from depressed to energize.  It is no secret that we all feel better when we walk outside to a nice day.

We all know by now you shouldn’t sit and bake in the sun. But sunlight provides us with an important vitamin, Vitamin D which is necessary for us all.  Vitamin D has been shown to support Metabolism and is crucial for bone health. How do we get it? Either directly from the sun or from certain foods like; Salmon, Tuna, Cheese, Egg Yolks and Milk. If you are not eating these foods and not living in an area where you are exposed to sunlight everyday, consider a vitamin D supplement. 

With Supplements the recommendation is about 1000 IU (international Units) or 25 MG (micro grams) a day. You will see that on the label.

So weather it is from the sun or your foods make sure you are getting your health dose of vitamin D.

This 30 minute test is the USP standard for all pharmaceutical tablets.  If the tablet doesn’t dissolve within that 30 minutes and it is not a time release fomula, then there is a good chance you are wasting your money.

1. Place one cup of white vinegar in a glass or bowl and warm to 98 degrees.

2. Drop your multivitamin (or other tablet) into the vinegar. Keep the vinegar resonablly close to 98 degrees for half an hour and jostle about ever 2-3 minutes. You can use a wooden spoon or stick to gently stir be careful not to touch the tablet.
