Apples and Almond Butter a Nutritious Snack

#apples #almondbutter #snack #Nutritious 

On the days I have an early start and an early breakfast,  I often grab an apple and a Tbsp of almond butter for my morning snack.  On top of tasting delicious,  it really is nutritious, and filling.

My husband eats 3 to 4 apples per day, I cannot quite get to that amount,  but he also has very little tartar buildup.  Not sure if eating apples is the reason, but he never flosses,  I also do, and he gets his teeth cleaned once per four or five years.  When I think about that I should eat more apples and see if it helps me!

Apples are rich in important antioxidants, flavanoids and dietary fiber.   They contain Vitamin C, Vitamin B (ribolflavin thiamin and Vitamin B - 6) and also Plytonutrients (phytonutrients help protect the body from the detrimental effects of free radicals).   They also contain calcium, potassum and phosphorus.

They can potentially prevent dementia, reduce your risk of stroke, lower your bad cholesterol, reduce the risk of diabetes and ward of breast cancer (studies conducted by prominent Cornell researcher Rui Hai Liu)

Almond Butter also has many health benefits.   It contains  Calcium, Copper, Vitamin E, Magnesium, Healthy Fats and Fiber.

Because of the antioxidents, almond butter is good for the skin and our blood.  It can help improve our sleep, balance the blood sugar, help with weight control and is good for our heart because of the healthy fats it has.

As with everything in our diet if we can choose Organic, it is much healthier.   Enjoy your apple and almond butter, and know you are feeding your body good food!

Walk for MS

Our group on the MS Walk, 2014.  We woke up to a windy, rainy day.   Thank goodness for water proof rain coats!   As a team we raised just over $2300, we were very happy with that for a first year attempt.  We all want to take part again next year and have already recruited a couple more people to join us. 

After the walk they fed us Pizza, fruit and hot chocolate.

More than 800 people participated in the annual Walk for MS on April 29. The walk started at the Archibald Arena, with music from The North Saskatchewan Regiment Pipes and Drums, and moved along the riverbank.

It was wonderful walking for a good cause,  and spending time with friends and family.

Water

Water so important,  we need to really make sure we are getting enough.   My mom ended up in the hospital with dehydration, one day she got busy, and just didn't pay attention to her water intake.  She is making sure now to drink all day long.  I always did drink quite a bit of water,  so taking my skinny fiber tablets with lots of water wasn't too difficult for me.  I do find, to keep track,  I fill a big jug and keep it on the counter, and drink from that.  It is much easier to keep track of what my intake is. #water #drinkwater #healthy

It has been a good week.  Our walk for MS went well,  we raised over $2000.   Next year we plan to take part again.  The weather has turned for the better, and I have spent some time out side,  playing in the yard, and also going for walks.  I'm so happy spring is finally here!
