Last week - CW told me to eat more haddock and sardines because of the stamina they could accord me and the benefits to my heart.
This week they remind me to increase my intake of Vit C as this will boost my immune system and keep my bones and teeth and cartilages healthy.
OK - where to find this Vit.. citrus fruits.. leafy greens (and the deeper the green . the more nutritious per the qualified dietician in the family.
Strawberries, sweet peppers (green/red/yellow/orange) . tomatoes and potatoes are all decent sources of this.
They also have a decent spread on "seasonal goodies" this week.
UK produce currently in season and despite the summer wetness - I have harvested Bramley and Cox and Conference Pears from the three trees in my own garden. I have one chestnut tree at the bottom of the garden and Alice roasts them and saves some to stuff our turkey/pork leg whatever at Chrismas time
CW tells me that autumn lamb is also in season along with pheasant and partidge.
Veggies?
Well the normal root veggies -including the much maligned sprout is in season at the moment. Sprouts are fine if steamed and seasoned lightly and in small servings
Alice (my wife) tends to chop up left over sprouts with other left over veggies and dress in a salady sauce on a gem lettuce leaf. That also works quite well iand gives the sharp tasting sprout a gentler feeling on the taste buds
Other veggies in season. include beetroot. I love this boiled and tossed in malt vinegar to complement my Sunday Roast beef
Marrow? Alice removes the middle seedy bit and then stuffs it with minced beef, or pork, with onions and herbs before roasting it in the oven.
Courgettes? Steam and serve with anything you like
Mushrooms? Oh .. how I love these with my grilled lean back bacon, sausage, hashed browns and tomatoes on a lazy Sunday morning
By the way.. I have grown up eating bacon, ham, red meat as have y parents and grandparents. Since my Dad is still alive and my grandparents reached 100 years and 98 years this year . .I think safe to say bacon butties and the odd supper of fish and chips washed down with beers and red and white wines over the years does not appear to have had any dire effects here
Of course ..they ate in moderation and ate a full variety over those years .. and - er .. rode bikes.. walked .. played tennis and golf, went swimming..
I guess healthy lifestyle means never overdoing things in reality. If you do so.. then as my own Great Gran observed to me when I was about 15 years.. you can have your cake and eat it.
