2 Reasons for an Apple a Day
-
Quercetin: The skins of apples contain a powerful
flavanoid called quercetin that can kill viruses and
fight inflammation. Apples contain more quercetin than
any other fruit.
- Pectin: This is the name for the
soluble fiber in apples that helps you feel full, slow
down the rise in blood sugar, and lower cholesterol.
Apple Crisp Preheat
oven to 350
4 cups tart apples sliced
1 Tablespoon flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon (or more according to your taste preference)
1/8 teaspoon salt
Mix these ingredients and pour into greased 8 inch square
baking dish.
Ύ cup oats
Ύ cup flour
Ύ cup brown sugar
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
6 Tablespoons melted butter or tub margarine
Mix and crumble over apple mixture
Bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes.
This is a great tasting apple crisp and good source of fiber
for lowering cholesterol.
Have a Happy Halloween and save
your pumpkin seeds for a healthy snack! Pumpkin
seeds are rich in iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus,
and zinc. Rinse and dry the seeds. Toss in a bowl with a
little olive oil and spread on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with
a little salt and bake at 375 for 45 minutes, turning
occasionally. For extra flavor you can try other seasonings
such as garlic, onion powder or parmesan cheese.
