[Visit Dr. Weil on Healthy Aging today!] [Cooking with Dr. Weil] Using Wine When You Cook Want to add flavor and cut calories when cooking? Try wine. Red or white, wine lends a unique character to entrees, and can help reduce the amount of fat you use. In some recipes, you can substitute wine for part or all of the specified quantity of oil. I like to use wine when sautéing or pan-frying, as it works well in place of the oil that it would typically require. One thing to note: while cooking with wine can enhance flavor, you won't reap the health benefits that wine offers - the process of cooking results in few of the wine-related health benefits remaining.

[Seasonal Food]Seasonal Food Bok Choy Bok choy, a variety of cabbage, is the most popular vegetable in China. In Chinese, the term means "white vegetable," likely due to its pale stem. The mild flavor of bok choy makes it a versatile cruciferous vegetable, at home in stir-fries, sautéed in some olive oil or lightly steamed on its own. Bok choy has a higher concentration of beta-carotene and vitamin A than any other variety of cabbage, and provides vitamin C as well, making it a healthy choice.

[Food as Medicine] Cooling Foods For Warm Temperatures To maintain a healthy fluid status, which naturally helps keep you cool, drink purified water throughout the day, and choose foods that have high water content: cucumbers, tomatoes, zucchini and eggplant are about 90 percent water, as are peaches. Check your local farmers' markets for organic varieties, and enjoy! [Tip]Tip: When selecting, choose a plant with firm stalks free of brown spots. Bok choy should last for up to a week when wrapped in paper towels and stored in your refrigerator's vegetable crisper. [Checklist] 5 Tips For Healthy Eating [Checklist] 1. Add onions to your meals. These pungent root vegetables provide more than just flavor. Allicin, a phytonutrient found in most varieties of onions, may be responsible for its many health benefits, including impacts on cholesterol and blood pressure. [Checklist] 2. Avoid additives. Artificial ingredients and dyes may trigger or worsen health problems, including allergies, migraines and hyperactivity. [Checklist] 3. Substitute vegetable protein for meat. Beans, and in particular soybeans, are good sources of protein. Become familiar with the wide range of whole soy-based foods available. Experiment, and find ones you like. [Checklist] 4. Snack healthy. Nuts (preferably unsalted raw or lightly toasted varieties including walnuts and almonds), roasted soy nuts, dried fruit (in moderation, as these are concentrated sources of sugar), or a small piece of dark chocolate with at least 70 percent cocoa content are better choices than potato chips or candy. [Checklist] 5. Focus on omega-3-rich menu items. Wild Alaskan salmon, omega-3 fortified eggs, walnuts, hemp seeds and freshly ground flaxseeds are good natural sources.
