Onion Toast

This is an adaptation of Matt Amsden's famous onion bread from his Rawvolution recipe book. The Savory magic and yeast add flavor and both are exceptionally high in vitamins, particularly the B vitamins.

 

  3 large sweet onions

  2 carrots thoroughly scrubbed

  3/4 cup flax seed, powdered in a coffee grinder

  3/4 cup raw sunflower seeds, powdered

  ½ cup walnuts, finely chopped

  1/3 cup organic shoyu

  1/3 cup olive oil

  ¼ cup Savory Magic*

  ¼ cup nutritional yeast

 

In a food processor, shred the carrots with the shredding blade. Remove carrots and set aside.

 

Next peel and cut the onions into quarters so they will fit in the food processor. Put in the slicing blade and slice the onions in the food processor. Transfer the cut onions to a large mixing bowl and add the remaining ingredients, including the carrots, mixing until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.

 

Spread half of the mixture onto a dehydrator tray lined with parchment paper (I prefer not to use plastic when I can avoid it and the parchment paper works great). Spread the half of mixture onto another tray lined with parchment paper. Dehydrate at 110 degrees for 24 hours. Then place an empty tray on top of each tray, flip over and remove the parchment paper. Return to dehydrator and dehydrate another 12-24 hours depending on how crunchy you like your toast. Remove and break into 16 pieces (break in half each way and then again).

 

* If you don't have any Savory Magic substitute with another ¼ cup of nutritional yeast.

 

Makes 32 pieces of toast

Metabolic Aging
by Brad J. King, MS, MFS, Alive


Everybody wants to live a long and healthy life. If you carry excess body fat on your frame, though, you may be setting yourself up for a shorter lifespan than the one you were aiming for.

Excess body fat is directly linked to so many diseases that it can no longer be thought of as solely a cosmetic issue. Cardiovascular disease, diabetes, stroke, numerous cancers, gallbladder disease, immune dysfunction, sleep apnea, infertility, and osteoarthritis (degeneration of the cartilage and bone in the joints) are just the tip of the iceberg. The more body fat you have on your frame, the higher your risk of checking out well before your time.

So why do the majority of us seem to find it so easy to pack on the pounds after age 35, while losing the features that defined our youth–strength, vitality, immunity, sexual function and desire, skin tone, and memory?...

Want to Feel Younger? Get Moving

NEW YORK - Fitness, strength and flexibility do not inevitably fade away with age, and are more often a matter of lifestyle choices, according to a new report.

 

Often, the discomforts of middle-age, like lower back pain or stiff joints, are blamed on aging alone. However, a well-rounded exercise routine that includes aerobic activity, strength training and stretching can help people offset the effects of aging, according to the report in the Mayo Clinic Health Letter.

 

Studies show that regular exercise can lower the risks of chronic ills like diabetes and heart disease, boost immune function, alleviate fatigue and cut the risk of disability in older adults...

Options for Treating Dental Cavities

by Sheryl Walters, Natural News

 

Almost every person has had a cavity filled at least once. Until recently the only choice for these fillings was an amalgam. This amalgam type of filling has been used for about 150 years by dentists but has come under fire recently because of one of its ingredients: mercury. Patients who have reservations about amalgams now have other choices including plastic composite fillings as well as more natural alternatives such as xylitol and ozone therapy.

Amalgams are made of mercury combined with silver, zinc, or palladium. Many dental experts claim that the amount of mercury found in these fillings is not toxic at the small levels released by these fillings, but nevertheless many patients find it unsettling to have a dangerous metal placed in their mouth. Despite claims of amalgam safety there have been numerous studies demonstrating the dangers of these types of fillings. One such study compared the amount of mercury in fetuses, babies, and young children, and it correlated these amounts with the number of dental amalgam fillings of the mothers and found that the amount of mercury in their bodies corresponded directly to the amount of fillings that the moms had...

Sleep Apnea
by Dr. Weil

 

What is sleep apnea?
Apnea (sleep apnea, or obstructive sleep apnea) is a serious disorder that causes interruptions of breathing (for at least 10 seconds) during sleep. While there are several types of sleep apnea, obstructive sleep apnea is the variant most people refer to. Depending on how often and for how long you stop breathing, sleep apnea can be classified as mild, moderate or severe. It is most common among men, affecting four percent of middle-aged men, but does affect women (about two percent of middle-aged women), and can occur at any age.

What are the symptoms of sleep apnea?
Symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea include heavy snoring, periods of not breathing, waking frequently during the night or experiencing fitful sleep, and feeling sleepy or not well-rested during the day.

Sleep apnea has been linked to health issues including an increased risk of fragmented sleep and restlessness, high blood pressure, heart attack, and stroke. Even mild sleep apnea can cause associated sleep disturbances, leading to depression, irritability, sexual problems and impaired learning and memory. Those affected may suffer from daytime sleepiness, tending to fall asleep at work, on the phone, or, worst of all, while driving...
