Before sharing out of more healthy recipes, here are some great tips from a Be Wise-Health Wise reader on some other delicious ways to cook the Mahi Mahi Fish that I discussed in last week’s Be Wise.

“I too discovered the Mahi Mahi and it is really yummy.  I bread them in some egg and ground nuts – I especially like a mix of fine ground almonds with some fine coconut.  Cook them with fresh lemon juice.  I cook them in a small amount of Coconut OIl (virgin, organic of course).  And… I love baked sweet potatoes.”

Asian Turkey Burgers

1 pound ground turkey
1 small red bell pepper chopped
¼ small head Napa (or regular) cabbage, shredded
3 scallions finely chopped
1 large egg white, lightly beaten
2 Tablespoons basil finely chopped (or mint or cilantro)
4 teaspoons Bragg’s Liquid Aminos
2 teaspoons finely grated ginger root
½ teaspoon sesame oil
¼ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon finely ground black pepper
2 Tablespoons olive oil
6 whole grain hamburger buns (gluten sensitive folks – use rice bread)

Mix together ground turkey, bell pepper, cabbage, scallions, egg white, herb, 2 Tablespoons Bragg Liquid Aminos, ginger, sesame oil, salt and pepper. Shape into 4 patties, about ½ inch thick.

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over high heat until hot. Reduce heat to medium, add burger patties. Cook 5 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Add more oil as needed.

If you would like to spice these burgers up a bit, mix these ingredients to make a spread:
¼ cup mayonnaise (I use the Follow Your Heart grape seed mayo)
1 ½ teaspoons prepared wasabi
¾ teaspoon Bragg’s Liquid Aminos
½ teaspoon sesame oil

Place burgers in a bun and spread with the mayo-wasabi sauce. Or just use mayo if you don’t like wasabi.

Happy eating.

Blessings,

Try these tasty, healthy recipes that provide those much needed omega 3 fats in a beautiful delicious way. Whether you’re following a heart disease diet, diabetes diet, Candida diet or just want to eat in a healthy way, you will enjoy these great appetizers.

I created these appetizers as part of the food demonstration that I did for doctors and nurses at a recent medical conference.

Dr. Jo’s Super Salmon Appetizers

1 can salmon (from Alaska – least polluted and not farmed – I found these at Costco), discard the liquid
2 Tablespoons olive or grape seed oil
1 ½ Tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
½ teaspoon dried dill or herbs of your choice

Mix all of above together. Then spoon a dollop on a cucumber round, slice of jicama, or stuff celery. Top with a cherry tomato, sprinkles of sesame seeds, shreds of carrots or anything else you can imagine.

Raw Yam Appetizers

Slice a raw orange yam into thin slices
Spread almond butter on each slice
Sprinkle with mixture of cinnamon and stevia extract (1 Tablespoon cinnamon with 1/8 teaspoon of stevia)
Top with sesame seeds, walnut, raw macadamia nuts, pumpkin seeds or hemp seeds.
Do the same thing with slices of jicama.

Stuffed Mini-peppers (sweet bell type – they come in packages of yellow, orange and red)
Cut the top off each mini-pepper at the stem.
Scoop out any seeds left inside.
Then get creative. I stuffed them with the Dr. Jo’s Super Salmon appetizer mixture. Then plugged the hole with a sweet 100 cherry tomato or stuck the pointy end of a yellow pear tomato into the salmon mixture. You may be surprised at how yummy these are
I stuffed another set with almond butter and then put a small tomato or other vegetable in the hole. These are very colorful and fun.

Everyone enjoyed the new taste treats. Most had not tried raw yam and did not even know of jicama.

Marinated Black Beans was another favorite served on jicama, cucumbers or suffed into mini-peppers or celery. You can find that recipe in Dr. Jo’s Natural Healing Cookbook.

Are you looking for a heart disease diet that’s not so complicated? Well you’ve arrived at the right place. But first let’s take a brief overall look at heart disease.

Dr. Vince Fonseca, MD, MPH, Epidemiologist for the Texas Department of State Health Services described heart disease as narrowing and blockage of the arteries and stressed that it can affect almost all major arteries of the body. In his state, Texas, one third of all deaths are due to heart disease and stroke.

But here’s the good news. You can prevent or reverse heart disease by following Dr. Fonseca’s simple ABC approach:

• Avoid tobacco;
• Be more active and walk 30 minutes; and
• Choose healthier food, including more fiber, less saturated fat, and less salt.

Avoid tobacco – easier to never start than to stop. If you’re smoking now, look for help in stopping.

Be more active and walk 30 minutes, that’s easy to implement – just do it!

Choose healthier food. Now that may seem more complicated to you, depending on how you’re eating now, especially if you eat the Standard American Diet (SAD – so true). Have you tried a lot of the diets out there, low carb, low fat, low glycemic, avoid this, avoid that. Is it just too confusing and hard to follow?

Just forget all of that!

For over 20 years Dr. Jo (Bessie Jo Tillman, MD) worked with many patients diagnosed with heart disease and hardening of the arteries. They needed a simple, effective, tasty heart disease diet. So Dr. Jo spent many hours reviewing the nutrition research of pioneers in the field like Dr. Weston A Price, Dr. Pottenger, Dr. Page and Dr. Royal Lee among others. She discovered that certain food creates life and health in the body and other food creates disease and death for the body.

She began to incorporate the best eating plan available into her diet and began to teach these valuable, health- building but “secret” concepts to her patients. After several years of working with this food plan she developed Dr. Jo’s Natural Healing Cookbook to help her patients. They loved it, embraced it and many improved their health tremendously eating according to this brilliant food plan.

Now you can enjoy the wisdom and nurturing in Dr. Jo’s Natural Healing Cookbook.

Dr. Jo’s Natural Healing Cookbook offers you great recipes that your heart and your tongue will love. What’s more, Dr. Jo shows you how to develop a new way of thinking about food that makes switching to a healthy heart disease diet enjoyable and uplifting.

Actually she encourages you to think of eating in a way that serves your body well. She shows you which foods promote health and which foods are really “death foods”. Think of developing an eating plan that suits your uniquely-you metabolism. Forget about the diet idea if you’re thinking of it as a diet that you’ll do for awhile and then you’ll go back to those old ways of eating (i.e., “the death food plan”).

As a matter of fact you won’t even have to think about which foods you’ll have to avoid. Just eat the healthy food found in Dr. Jo’s Natural Healing Cookbook. It’s that easy. You won’t think of it as a heart disease diet anymore, but rather a delicious, nutritious, enjoyable eating plan that helps your uniquely-you body feel great. And you will love the healthy recipes.
