More About Apples

-

 


Last time we talked about nutrition and other interesting facts about apples (see "Quick Fall Favorite Fruit Facts: Apples'" if you missed it). This time, we’re going to look at the different varieties of apples and how you can use those different varieties. As we saw last time, there are many different types of apples, so we’ll just look at the most common ones for now.


Now that we know more about different types of apples, we’re going to look at some ideas for different types of recipes along with links to the recipes if you see one you’d like to try.

Savory:
• Apple Tuna Salad
• Caramelized Apple Cheddar Melts
• Rosemary Caramelized Onion, Honeycrisp, and Brie Flatbread

Sweet:
• Three Apple Pie
• Baked Apples with Oatmeal Filling
• Vegan Apple Pie Bread (my personal favorite)

Whether you go to your local apple orchard, fruit stand, or market, take a trip to pick apples this fall. Find your favorite and experiment with different recipes! Also check out the “Fall Aromatherapy DIY” post on our blog for a different use for your apples!

What should i eat before and after a workout? First things first…carbohydrates, proteins and fats are important for the body before  and after exercise. Exercising muscle preferentially uses carbohydrates from stored glycogen, but fats are also an important fuel source for energy production during exercise. Fats and carbohydrates are the two major fuel sources during exercise. Fats must be translocated and broken down from their storage form before they are used. Typically there is enough carbohydrate stored as muscle glycogen for exercise but as muscle glycogen stores decline, the skeletal muscle will then use some amino acids (basic components of all protein). More specifically, the amino acid leucine is used for energy.              It is important to consume an adequate amount of carbohydrates exercise to delay fatigue and minimize gastrointestinal distress. It is also important to consume enough fluids to prev...

Child Malnutrition

New approach to childhood malnutrition may reduce relapses, deaths http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/02/150211124024.htm               Moderate acute malnutrition is experienced by 35 million children worldwide. A new study led by researchers from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis has suggested that feeding children until they have met target measures of arm circumference and weight may be more important than a set 12 week feeding time. However, researchers have found that the current targets, set by the World Health Organization (WHO) may not be sufficient and raising these targets slightly could significantly reduce the risk of relapse in malnourished children; a condition that has a 37% relapse rate. The study took place in rural Malawi and was comprised of 2,349 moderately malnourished children aged 6 months to 5 years old. Children were evaluated 12 months after treatment; 1,967 rec...
