Week of March 15-21
This week we celebrate the creamy texture and delicious taste of avocados when they are in the peak of their season. While it is true that avocados are high in fat, almost two-thirds of the fats they contain are the heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, like those found in olive oil—one of the primary reasons for the many health benefits derived from the Mediterranean diet.

How to Cook Without Destroying Vitamins, Minerals, and Antioxidants
Did you know that traditional methods for cooking vegetables can lose from 50-80% of their nutritional value? Traditional cooking methods such as boiling can deplete water soluble vitamins, such as vitamin C and the B vitamins, as well as flavonoid phytonutrients. When I discovered that 88% of the folic acid in carrots and 66% of the flavonoids in carrots and broccoli are destroyed through boiling for extended periods of time, I knew how important it was to develop alternative Healthiest Way of Cooking methods that you will find in the World's Healthiest Foods book, which will help retain the maximum nutritional value found in these health-promoting foods.
Q&A from our new book:
What are cold pressed oils?
From Satisfied Book Readers:
I LOVE YOUR BOOK. I love its message. It lets the individual choose how to make the wonderful foods you highlight part of daily nutrition. I appreciate the guide toward the back of the book about what foods may need to be avoided based on individual health needs and constraints.without pushing or promoting the concept of diet or nutritional fad. I can read unencumbered about why this or that extreme eating habit can promote optimal health! No mention of low-fat, low-carb, etc. You.ve nailed it. I love being presented with choices and knowledge about wholesome foods, why they are each unique and health-promoting, and I can make my own choices. - Janice
