Stress Reduction Tip of the Week
Many of us are experiencing the winter doldrums and are feeling drained from the cold weather. Here are some suggestions: Eat hot, hearty foods like stews and soups. Drink plenty of water because our heating systems dehydrate the body and don’t forget what heat does to the skin making it dry and itchy. Give yourself a massage with warm olive oil or rub yourself with fragrant botanical creams. Warm up with exercise to speed up the metabolism and release endorphins. Raise the blinds and let in the sun. Bring some tropical plants into the house to cheer it up naturally. Play some “summer music” around the house. Most importantly, get out and see people. Don’t let winter isolate you. If the weather is dreadful, speak on the phone or e-mail your friends.

Food of the Week - Asparagus
Asparagus is a great source of folic acid, vitamin C and carotenoids. Break off or cut the tough ends and rinse thoroughly to remove the sandy grit. Asparagus does well with a little butter or olive oil. Squeeze on some lemon to enhance the flavor. Quick cooking best preserves the distinctive taste and nutritional power. You can microwave asparagus, steam, or brush with a little olive oil, shake on some sesame seeds for a nutty flavor and roast in a 450 degree oven. Check in about four minutes because they crisp up fast. Also, chilled asparagus is a wonderful addition to any salad.
