Health Benefits of Restorative Gardens

News and Notes
Oct. 20, 2009   Vol.6,  Issue 17    

Octo­ber seems to have arrived early this year! Yet it feels like Decem­ber in NYC. Fall is a very lovely tme of the year for me. The color of foliage is mag­nif­i­cent and the brisk air is invigorating.

Octo­ber is also a busy month for meet­ings,  classes and the begin­ning of plan­ning for the new year.

What are you plan­ning for well­ness? Mas­sage ther­apy is def­i­nitely on my list of accomplishment.

This past week­end I spent time at the Japan­ese Autumn Gar­den. Not only was the exhi­bi­tion beau­ti­ful, it was also invig­o­rat­ing (cold & windy) and restorative.

Enjoy!!

Food Tid­bits

Wal­nut Pate is easy and quick to make! It can be rolled into balls and used instead of meatballs.It can also be eaten as a dip with cru­dites. This recipe is from my new raw foods cookbook.

the only advance prepa­ra­tion required is to soak the wal­nuts for 4–6 hours. I soaked mine for 4 hours. Makes 2 servings.

  • 1 cup soaked raw walnuts
  • 1 TBS. fresh lemon juice
  • 1tsp. extra vir­gin olive oil
  • 1 tsp. tamari
  • 1/4 tsp gar­lic powder
  • Dash salt
  • 1 TBs. minced fresh parsley
  • 1 TBS. minced onion

Place the first six ingre­di­ents in a food proces­sor and process into a past. Trans­fer to a small bowl, stir in te pars­ley and onion and mix well. Store in a sealed con­tainer in the refrig­er­a­tor. the pate will keep for five days.

Fiber

Fiber is an ingre­di­ent that is very impor­tant to weight man­age­ment and over­all gen­eral health.

In addi­tion to con­tain­ing good fat, one half of an avo­cado con­tains 6.7 grams of fiber. A pre­vi­ous issue of this news let­ter con­tained a recipe for gua­camole. Avo­cado can also be used to make pesto, mash and spread it on toast ( you can top that with sliced tomato), dice it in a salad, add to a sand­wich and can be used to make a pie. How about that? You get the good fat, fiber and dessert!

  • peo­ple between 25 and 64 who ave chronic med­ical conditions
  • Speak to your NP, PA or MD pri­mary care provider regard­ing immunization.
