Monday, May 13th, 2013

Summer is a great time of year to better your diet and enhance your quality of life. One small change that can make a big difference in your life is to eat fresh fruits and vegetables every day.

 

Eating plenty of fruits and vegetables a day is a must to maintain good health throughout your lifetime.

 

Vegetables and fruits can enable your body to reduce your risk of heart disease, stroke and maintain good blood pressure. Fruits and vegetables can also ward off certain types of cancers and improve your digestive tract processes. You can even improve your eye vision.

 

How many fruits and vegetables should a person have a day?

 

The Dietary guidelines suggest that an individual eat 5 to 13 servings of fruits and vegetables per day. That is 2.5 to 6.5 cups of fruits and vegetables a day.

 

The amount of fruits and vegetables you will need to maintain a healthy weight and overall health is based on the amount of calories you will need a day.

 

You should have plenty of leafy greens in your diet and you should consider dried fruit to eat on the go.

Eat your fruits and vegetables and you will rarely have irritable bowel movements such as painful constipation or overly loose bowels.

 

If you have bad eyesight, you should eat carrots. Carrots have vitamin A that helps improve night vision. Overall fruits and vegetables can reduce your risk of eye diseases such as cataract and macular degeneration that affect people as they age.

 

To keep fruits and vegetables as fresh as possible, follow these instructions:

 

  • Always have the fruits and vegetables visible to you so they won’t go bad.
  • Have fruits and vegetables at every year – salads, stir-fry and fruit salads.

 

Here are great benefits you reap from eating fruits and vegetables:

Summer Parties: How To Protect Yourself From Food Poisoning

Tuesday, May 7th, 2013

Ginger-Lime Kale with Squash & Chickpeas

As we go into summer party season, it is more important than ever to learn how to protect yourself and party guests from food poisoning.

 

In the United States 1 in 6 people suffer from food poisoning every year. The most common food poison is E. coli because the food supply of Americans is from global and local food sources.

 

The benefit of having global and local food sources is the availability of fresh produce year round of fruits and vegetables.

 

Food poisoning can result in major illness and even death from eating perishable produce.

 

Although scientists have not discovered the precise source of food borne illness, symptoms can last 2 to 10 days on average.

 

Food poisoning can happen from food contamination or simply from someone handling food not washing his or hands properly prior to serving or packing food.

 

One of the best ways to protect one from food poisoning is to eat fresh produce as much as possible.

 

Most food poisoning cases come from meat such as poultry that carries salmonella or campylobacter.

 

When you are cooking meat, always use a food thermometer. This will help you kill harmful bacteria while keeping your meat juicy and tender.

 

Meat should always be well cooked or t least 160 F to remove E. coli from food.

 

Here are some other healthy habits of food preparation you should follow to avoid food poisoning:

 

  • Wash fruits and vegetables with soap if they are raw fruits and vegetables. This cleaning ritual is especially important for leafy greens because they have crevasses where E. coli can hide.
  • Never cut meat on the same cutting board you chop vegetables or fruits.
  • Always keep ready-to-eat food products separate from raw products.
  • Leftovers should be immediately refrigerated.
  • Clean all cooking utensils with soap and hot water before and after handling utensils.

 

For guaranteed fresh produce, meat, seafood, poultry, or diary products, stop by Hearn Kirkwood.

 

Our food products arrive daily from California, Mexico, Texas, Florida and Maryland.

 

Hearn Kirkwood also procures and provides our customers with a variety of quality perishable products at highly competitive prices.

How To Speed Up Your Metabolism With Healthy Eating

Monday, April 29th, 2013

Are you searching for ways to speed up your metabolism? If yes, you can rev up your metabolism with a healthy eating diet. In fact, you can train your body to have a superfast metabolism.

 

Everyday your body starts and ends a variety of biochemical processes.

 

The metabolism process is when the body coverts your food fuel into energy/ glucose. This is necessary because all cells in the body need energy – the heart, the lungs, the digestive system, and even the brain need glucose.

 

The more labor your body has to complete, the faster your metabolism becomes. In other words, how many calories your body needs to fully function correlates with your metabolic rate.

 

Your metabolic rate is always fluctuating based on how fast the heart beats and the muscles you use or do not use regularly.

 

If you believe you can speed up your metabolic rate by starving yourself, think again. Anytime you eat less, your body will train itself to burn calories slower. This will make losing weight harder and you’ll feel less energized.

 

Instead, you should train your body to reduce calories with a healthy diet and weight training activities. Exercise will be essential in building up a good metabolic rate. You can take a walk, go running or ride a bike at least once a day to help boost your metabolism.

 

Forget the diet pills. Here is what you can eat and drink on the regular to help improve your metabolism:

 

  • Eat a balanced breakfast every morning to boost your energy and control your appetite for the day. Have plenty of complex carbs and protein in your breakfast such as granola/ trail mix, blueberry snack bars, crackers with hummus, and more.
  • Eat spicy foods. This could be anything with hot peppers like jalapeno and cayenne peppers. Spicy foods boost up your metabolism because the spicy food help the body release adrenaline that increases the amount of calories you can burn.
  • Drink at least 2 cups of coffee a day can increase your metabolism by 15%,
  • Drink plenty of green tea, at least 24oz a day to burn 70-100 calories a day from the antioxidants catechins.
  • You should always eat more than 1200 calories a day by eating small meals every 3-4 hours. Don’t forget to get plenty of sleep (at least 7 hours).

 

Read up on Hearn Kirkwood’s recipes that will help boost up your metabolism – from Strawberry, Melon & Avocado Salad to Coconut-Crusted Soft-Shell Crab with Mango Chutney.

Easter Sunday Desserts: How To Make Easy And Healthy Easter Treats

Monday, March 25th, 2013

Easter Sunday is only a few days away. It is time to plan out some delicious and healthy Easter desserts. Hearn Kirkwood is here to help you make quick, fresh and easy desserts! This article will provide you a list of healthy Easter dessert recipes we enjoy during this special time of year.

 

 

Often during Easter parents believe the only dessert available for children are sugar infested ones. You do not have to feed your children chocolate eggs, chocolate bars and peeps for dessert. Provide them delectable Easter desserts that are healthy for them.

 

 

Children that only receive sugar filled candy for Easter dessert usually experience sugar rush, tummy aches, acne and gain a few extra pounds.

 

 

When you provide children healthy Easter desserts, your children won’t feel bloated or experience bad affects from candy consumption.

 

 

You can make healthy Easter treats  for kids and adults alike by using light ingredients such as fresh fruit, whole wheat flour and brown sugar.

 

 

Here are some healthy and delicious treats you can create this Easter:

 

 

-Light Key Lime Bars. The key lime bars are like mini pies. The benefits of key lime bars is that they are low calorie bars and low fat. You can serve them with frozen beverages for a real treat. To make 12 key lime bars follow the following recipe:

 

Ingredients for the key lime bar crust

-1 cup  of all purpose flour
-1 cup of whole wheat flour
-1/2 cup of powdered sugar
-3/4 cup canola oil
For the key lime filling use the following ingredients:

-4 large eggs
-1 and 1/2 cups of sugar
-6 tablespoons of all purpose flour
-1/4 cups of lime juice
-Confectioner sugar (as a garnish)
-2 tablespoons of lime zest

 

Preheat the oven at 350 degrees F and put your key lime in a greased 9 X 13 inch cake pan. Bake the crust for at 20 minutes or until golden brown.

 

 

Next, pour the filling into the crust. The filling should include the flour, lime juice and zest. Bake the filling over the crust for 24 minutes. Sprinkle the powdered sugar on your treats and you will be good to go.

Whole Wheat Raspberry Bar. This is the perfect fruit bar for Easter. It features whole heat flour, brown sugar, and almonds. The kids will surely be full and satisfied after two or more bars. You will need the following ingredients:
-2 cups of whole wheat flour.
-1/2 cups of dark brown sugar
-1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon
-1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
-1/4 teaspoon of salt
-1/4 cup of chopped almonds
-1 large egg
-1/4 cup of canola oil
-3/4 cup of fresh raspberries
-1/2 cup low sugar raspberry preserves
Pop your raspberry bars into a 350 degree oven. We recommend using a greased 8 x 8 inch baking dish. The crust of the raspberry bars should be baked for 10 minutes. Once the crust is baked, top it off with fresh raspberries and the raspberry preserve. Cover the fruit with crumble and bake for an additional 18 minutes. This will beat any chocolate bar.

 

 

Some other great dessert ideas are the following:

-Creamy rice pudding
-Pineapple upside down cupcakes
-Chocolate hazelnut cookies ( only 11 grams of carbs each).
-Peanut Butter and Jam Macaroons

The Health Benefits of Mediterranean Food And Lemon Water

Monday, February 25th, 2013

Did you know there are ways to prevent heart disease and cleanse your body for better health? If you did not know, Hearn Kirkwood is here to tell you about great food and beverage choices that will not only make you feel healthier but we also bring joy to your taste buds.

To reduce your chance of having heart disease in your life, we recommend starting a Mediterranean diet.

The Mediterranean diet can reduce your chances of experiencing heart attacks, strokes, and heart disease by 30 percent.

A Mediterranean diet consists of the following food products that lower risk factors for high cholesterol. hypertension, and obesity:

-Olive Oil

-Nuts (walnuts, almonds, and hazelnuts)

-Beans

-Fish

-Fruits

-Vegetables

 

The Mediterranean diet is not about sticking to low-fat diets. Most people find sticking to low fat diets challenging. The Mediterranean diet is about maintaining good health.

At least an ounce of nuts should be consumed a day. You should have three servings of fruit every day and two servings of vegetables.

Consume fish at least 3 times a week with beans, peas and lentils. If you are not a fish lover, go for white meat rather than read meat.

As for beverages, we recommend seven glasses of wine a week and two glasses of lemon water a day.

How can warm lemon water benefit your health?

If you drink lemon water you can reap the following health benefits:

 

-Better digestion stimulation. This will help your body burn more fats and promote weight loss. This happens because the warm lemon water raises body temperature that helps the body burn more food calories. The warm water will flush old food out of your digestive track.

-Cleanse your body of bowel bacteria buildup. The warm lemon water has the ability to do this because the lemon juice can flush mucus and bowels out of you fully from the previous day.

-Lemon water helps the liver create more enzymes to help you digest food better.

-Lemon water is a great source of Vitamin C. This vitamin helps strengthen your immune system. It will also give your skin a beautiful glow.

Monday, February 4th, 2013

Valentine's Day Dinner For Two

Do you want a quiet, romantic dinner for two this Valentine’s Day? If yes, you won’t find it at a restaurant. Valentine’s Day dinner outings are not only hard to enjoy but also challenging to make reservations. There’s a solution. Have a romantic dinner for two at home. Homemade dinners are not only healthier but also more intimate. You can cook dinner together as a couple or surprise your special someone.

One delicious Valentine’s Day meal is homemade pasta. It is super budget friendly and elegant when topped with a splendid sauce such as Bolognese and composed of pancetta and sage.

 

We recommend cooking homemade pasta such as the Tagliatelle. This pasta dish includes Italian unsmoked cured bacon, extra-virgin olive oil, parmigiano-reggiano, fresh parsley, garlic and more. Get the gourmet recipe here.

 

If you and your significant other are huge seafood lovers, consider serving steamed mussels and fish parchment. Mussels taste best when buttered and served with sake and chilis. As for fish in parchment, that’s easy to prepare, simplly add your favorite vegetables to a parchment packet and the fish to create a whole meal. Hailbut is a very popular fish to try for this dish. Learn more details about this splendid seafood dish.

 

The fish recipe goes wonderfully with a tomato and Camembert tart. The tomato and Camembert tart features a flaky pastry crust, Camembert cheeses, plum tomatoes and herb oil for you and your loved one to enjoy as a side dish.

 

We recommend following this meal up with a Shrimp Bisque Bourbon because the soup is wonderfully creamy, flavorful and perfectly garnished with shrimp.

 

But most importantly, you cannot forget dessert! A very healthy Valentine dessert is Honey Vinaigrette Avocado and Strawberries, which are blended in honey lemon dressing to serve as a salad or dessert. The treat goes perfectly with grilled chicken and fish.
