The Scandinavian Rx To Prevent Winter Illness!

                           Help For That Sore Throat! 

Like a lot of people, you probably enjoy the Winter months. 

The snow, the holidays, the endless array of food, warm fireplaces,
skiing, skating, family gatherings, etc.
And if you're like most (normal) people, you probably hate driving

in the snow, the weight gain from all of that good food and getting sick. 
And by getting sick, we mean the beginning of a cold, the sore throat. 

And if you're one who likes to use only natural methods to try and conquer
sore throats, colds and flu, then you may want to use the following recipe,
a recipe that can shut down and even prevent sore throats.
And something even better, the vegetables in this recipe
are now being recognized as one of the main contributing factors to
longevity records that the people of Denmark, Norway, Finland,
Iceland and Sweden currently enjoy.

And what is the contributing factor?
Root vegetables.
That's right, the women of Denmark, Finland and Norway take great pleasure
in growing and cooking onions, cabbage, turnips and parsnips
and these root vegetables are allowing the women (and men) to live well into
their 80's and 90's, trailing right behind the Japanese, (in terms of longevity).

So, if you're a vegetable lover, and you want to prevent sore throats and
hopefully live well into your 90's, just copy the recipe listed below.

Root Vegetable Medley!
Ingredients:
1 lb. onions
1 lb. carrots
1 lb. parsnips
1/2 lb. turnips 

3 Tbs. butter
1/2 cup pine nuts
1 1/2 Tbs. minced garlic
4 to 6 wedges of lemon
1 Tbs. fresh minced parsley
--------------------------------------------
Directions:
Trim and peel onions, cut into thick wedges.
Trim and peel the carrots and parsnips, cut into thick
diagonal slices. Clean the turnips, peel them and then dice them. 

Combine the veggies with a 1/2 cup of water and place in 3 to 3-1/2
qt. microwave safe baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap, microwave on
high until all of the veggies are tender, (about 10 to 12 mins.)
Stir the veggies while they're in the microwave.
In the meantime, take out a skillet, turn on the heat, (medium-high)
and melt the butter. Add the pine nuts, watching them so they don't burn,
add the minced garlic, until lightly browned. Drain the vegetables, 

move them to a platter and top them with the garlic, pine nuts and minced parsley.
And lastly, squeeze the lemon juice over the vegetables, or
give a slice (or 2) of lemon to family (or guests) and let them
put their own lemon juice on.
That's it, this should serve 5 to 6 people.

The Nordic Rx For Fewer Aches and Pains!

                           Get To The Root Of The Problem! 

We may have mentioned once or twice that the women of the Scandinavian
countries are now second to Japanese women in terms of longevity.
The women do a number of things to achieve such longevity, things like...
drink coffee, (Finnish women) eat appetite-taming bread, (Danish women) 

eat Skyr, a low-fat yogurt, (Icelandic women) and eat plenty of root vegetables, 
(all Scandinavian women) and if you're starting to feel the effects of aches
and pains, then you should do the same.

Why root vegetables?
Root vegetables like beets, carrots, parsnips and turnips are rich in potassium,
zinc and other minerals, and they help quash pain-triggering inflammation.
Eat some of these foods daily and lower your risk of aches and pains by 30%.

That's it- and 2 more things, make sure to prepare the root vegetables in
the healthiest ways possible, and eat them with other foods that also
reduce inflammation. No fattening burger and bun with some roasted carrots
or turnips.
And recent research says that women who eat the most root vegetables can expect
an extra 5 to 8 yrs. of life.
As for men who eat root vegetables, sorry no longevity benefits for you.

And lastly, if you want more great tips on how the women (and men)
of Iceland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland live such long and healthy
lives--head to Amazon.com/the kindle store and type The Nordic Secrets For
Longevity and Health in the search bar.
Download it and get a few extra years out of life like the Scandinavians.

Good Luck!
