Holistic Chef ’s Tip #3

Enlarged prostate effects approximately 50% of men over the age of 50. Medical Doctors will often prescribe 200 mg of glutamic acid for this condition. Two tablespoons of pumpkin seeds provide 1078mg of glutamic acid. This explains why raw pumpkin seeds are used to treat an enlarged prostrate in many parts of Europe. Pumpkin seeds can be added to salads and veggies to increase nutrient value. See recipe on Roasted Pepitas with Tamari Sauce.

It’s very important to learn healthy foods and recipes that will help you control your craving for various snack foods. Chances are that you cave into your various junk food cravings for sweet and salty foods.
Doing so can sabotage your nutrition plan and prevent real results. It also can kill your momentum causing you to fall off your plan altogether.

A great strategy is to compile a list of recipes that will help satisfy these cravings when they happen. Stock up on the ingredients so that making the recipes is quick and easy.
