In this issue
we are talking about setting goals for the summer. In light of the topic I
have decided to share one of my goals with you. On June 10, 2007 I will be
riding in the American Diabetes Association Tour de Cure in Reston, VA. My
goal is to ride 63 miles in one day! I choose this race because I have so
many patients that have been diagnosed with Diabetes. I want to show
support to all those patients I work with and help to achieve normal blood
sugars. This is an illness that can ABSOLUTELY benefit from the lifestyle
and nutritional support we provide at Healthydaes! The most I have ridden
in a day has been 20 miles. I have never ridden 63 miles before so this is
a stretch for me. Just as I ask my patients to stretch outside their
current habits and make a commitment to a health goal that might seem a
little out of their reach. As a naturopathic physician, I feel that it is
important for me to practice what I preach to my patients. I am sharing
this with all of you to share with you a little more about what I do in my
life to stay healthy. I hope this will inspire others to find a health
goal in 2007. There is nothing better for the soul than success of a
personal dream or goal! I want to give a special acknowledgement to my
brother for buying me a bike for my birthday a couple of years ago.
Without his support I would not be able to ride and enjoy nature as part
of my health regimen. The ADA is asking for each rider to raise $175.00
for the ride. | ||||

Hearty
barley casserole
This is a great hearty side dish that goes well with fish, poultry or meat. It is a great way to add vegetables to your meal. Ingredients 3 cups vegetable stock 1 cup pearled barley 3 scallions, chopped 1 celery stalk, chopped 1/2 pound mushrooms, sliced 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper Preparation In a medium saucepan, heat the stock to boiling over high heat. Add the barley, reduce heat to a simmer, cover and cook until tender, about 50 minutes. Drain and place in a large bowl. In a medium skillet, heat a few tablespoons. of vegetable stock over medium heat. Add the scallions and celery and cook until the celery is crisp-tender, 5-6 minutes. Add the mushrooms, salt and pepper and cook until the vegetables are soft and most of the liquid from the mushrooms has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Stir the cooked vegetables into the barley. Mix well. Serve hot or cold. | ||

Tip For the
month – How To Really Release Weight In March JAMA – Journal of American
Medical Association, released a study on weight loss comparing popular
diets. The participants were overweight premenopausal women. The basic
results of the study concluded that women lost an average of 6-12 pounds
after a year on the programs. This study did not have any definitive
conclusions about which diet is the best for weight release and
maintenance. The keys that I want to share with you are that the diets
basically reduce refine carbohydrates – pasta, cookies, rice, cakes, bread
staples of the SAD – standard American diet and people lost weight. All
diets increased complex carbohydrates and good forms of protein along with
appropriate portion sizes. I think the most important lesson from the
study is that as the women stopped practicing good eating habits, the more
weight came back.. High blood pressure, high triglycerides, high
cholesterol were all reduced as women lost weight and kept it off during
the year of the study. My take home message is you must commit to a
healthy eating style in order to achieve a healthy lifestyle and weight!
It is not about the quick fix, it is about creating healthy patterns that
work in your life and sticking to them. Our staff is here is to support
you in creating those behaviors and creating a healthy life. Call the
office today for a consultation.

46 year old
female wanted to improve nutrition and lose weight Dr. Daemon's program is
the perfect option for me. Again, I believe I mentioned to you that I had
no idea what to eat, how much to eat and when to eat. Others would give me
a list of food to eat, I would follow it but eat way too much. They say
that you can have fruit, but not all fruit yields success at losing
weight. Dr. Daemon's program spells all that out for you, even thou' you
have to measure your food, it provides you with a structured plan of
action. She educates you around what is happening with your body (blood
sugar level) in conjunction with what you eat. It is so enlightening. It
didn't come together for me when I was getting information from other
sources about dieting, but when Dr. Daemon explains it, I completely
understand what's going on with my body with the food I eat. I'm down
seven pounds and feel much better. I even got a compliment today. Its
hard, no doubt about it. But, this is the first time I've ever felt that I
could see the light at the end of the tunnel with weight loss. I'm not
floundering out there without a clue anymore.
