Chocolate is in a class of its own

Some say that choco­late is a fruit since it comes from a cacao tree in the trop­ics. Some also insist that any­thing cov­ered in choco­late has to be good for you.

Red is more than just a color to wear

The color that you wear can define you. On Feb. 1, the employ­ees at the hos­pi­tal where I work were asked to wear red in honor of National Heart Health Month. Every year the color red reminds us that a heart-healthy lifestyle saves lives.

Ralph made the first 21 days easier

It’s easy to start a new diet. All you have to say is, “I’m on a diet.” The hard part is the day after and the day after and the day after that. It takes approx­i­mately 21 days to change a habit. Our intake and move­ment behav­iors are a com­bi­na­tion of many habits.

Quit picking the white stuff off citrus

There is a dif­fer­ence of opin­ion in my house about eat­ing cit­rus. My hus­band was taught by his mother to peel all of the white stuff off the out­side of an orange. A small speck of any­thing that is not orange is unacceptable.

Onions are valuable to chew

Every time I reach down to that cool dark spot in my cup­board to pull out an onion I feel like I am search­ing for gold. These yel­low spheres are valu­able. They may only cost a few dol­lars a bag, but these nuggets of juicy good­ness spell good health to me.

Cold sores are a thing of the past

If there is a cold sore just wait­ing to erupt on your face there is some­thing that you should know. For­get all of the top­i­cal, hor­ri­ble tast­ing, and expen­sive pain killers for this virus. There is a sim­ple way to not only cure cold sores but pre­vent them as well.

Why would anyone want to be a dietitian?

Last week I had two col­lege stu­dents spend a day with me at work. One delight­ful young lady fol­lowed my every foot­step on Mon­day and another on Wednesday.

Fresh ingredients make better cookies

It has been a long time since I wrote any­thing about cook­ies. Usu­ally I remind read­ers that although cook­ies are not for­bid­den, eat­ing them must be lim­ited. While talk­ing to one man about Oreos and rec­om­mend­ing that he eat two cook­ies as a serv­ing, he admit­ted that he eats two strips or half of a pack­age of Oreos as a serv­ing. Ouch!
