Kale - The Super Food!

Want to increase your immunity to fight off cold, flu, and fight that feeling of being tired during the day? Then you will want to try Kale!

Kale is has long since been recognized as the ultimate superfood. With mega portions of:

• Vitamin K


• Vitamin A


• Vitamin C


• Manganese


• And more!

How To Prepare:

You can quickly saute Kale in olive oil, garlic, and onion until slightly wilted. Make sure to remove the stems first (they can be a little tough to chew). Once cooked, season to taste with sea salt and pepper. If you don't care for the taste of Kale (or are a little afraid to try it on it's own, then mix in some fresh Spinach (the iron in Spinach can't hurt either).

Start off by eating 1 cup of cooked Kale a few times a week for best results.

Sweet Potatoes Help Your Figure – And Fight Colds and Flu!

In Saturday’s class, the health and nutrition tip we addressed talked about how to stick to your fitness plans and goals despite cold weather. Who wants a cold cup of cereal when it’s cold outside? Not too many people. Who wants a cold salad?

You want something warm – and filling.

This is where people get off track – enter the super breakfast combo – eggs, butter, toast, pancakes, hash browns, etc…

Although this combo isn’t bad if eaten once in a while, it is bad if you eat it all the time – like ALL WINTER/FALL

So, instead try a sweet potato for breakfast or lunch!

It’s easy, just puncture it several times with a fork after washing the spud, pop it into the microwave for 5 – 10 minutes (depending on the size of the spud). Serve with butter or drizzle honey, or add a dash of cinnamon – viola! Healthy, filling, and good for your breakfast.

Ohh, did we mention it will help you fight off a mean cold or flu this season. Why? Because these sweet spuds are chocked full of vitamin A (a nutrient you immune system depends on) – 769% of the daily recommended value per one cup serving.

And they are cheaper than that McDonalds breakfast sandwich, or the Starbucks breakfast “thingie” you grab in the morning too!
