Oatmeal Great Benefits for a Stronger Healthier Body

Dr. Martha Andrea Castro Noriega, MD WMA FACS
food oatmeal dr martha castro tijuana mexico

Oatmeal is one of my favorite choices of food to eat in the morning. Oatmeal contains vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that make me feel so much better through out the day. It also contains carbohydrates, proteins and soluble fiber which helps me not to feel bloated. Soluble fiber also reduces the levels of LDL or «bad» cholesterol by blocking its absorption into the bloodstream.

Oatmeal with Cinnamon and Apples

Other benefits:

Its main ingredient is manganese, which it has been proven scientifically to reduce the inflammation of the joints, improves bone health and it has been linked to lower incidents of seizures in patients with epilepsy.

Oatmeal and Strawberries

If you want to enjoy your oatmeal in the morning you can add some banana, apple, no sugar, water and maybe a bit of low-fat milk, lots of cinnamon one day and the next I add vanilla, one day blue berries next day strawberries. I personally do not like to add pecans but some people can’t eat oatmeal without adding pecans. It’s your choice.

Oatmeal Bananas and Berries

I prefer steel-cut oatmeal. Others prefer the rolled or irish oats. Whatever the kind if you like them, enjoy them!

Dr. Martha Andrea Castro Noriega, MD WMA FACS

FOOD RARITIES with odd ingredients:

Food rarities: to eat or not to eat, that is the question! 🤣😁😆😅

I found these rare combinations of foods in the inter-webs.

People just posted these pics without describing the ingredients and what to do with them. And for the life of me, I couldn’t find the name of them anywhere. I was wondering if any of you know what kind of food this is and if you would eat it!

Delicious Peruvian Marmalade comes from…Smile Today!

Dr. Martha Andrea Castro Noriega, MD WMA FACS

This bear likes Peruvian Marmalade 😁

…from this gorgeous, exotic and easy to grow plant in your yard, farm or ranch:

Physalis Peruviana known as Cape Goosberry.-

Physalis peruviana is a plant species of the genus Physalis. It is originally from Peru. The plant and its fruit is known as uchuva (Colombia), Capuli (Peru) Cape gooseberry (South Africa, UK, Australia, New Zealand), Inca berry, Aztec berry, golden berry, giant ground cherry, African ground cherry, Peruvian groundcherry, Peruvian cherry, amour en cage (France, French for «love in a cage»), and sometimes simply Physalis (United Kingdom).

Despite its tart, cherry-like flavor, this small, orange fruit is actually most closely related to the tomatillo. It is exceptionally low in calories and contains several important nutrients such as thiamin, niacin and vitamin C.

Dr. Martha Andrea Castro Noriega, MD WMA FACS
lobster recipe

Messy Ingredients:

½ cup kosher salt

1 bunch fresh thyme (tied together with string)

1 head garlic, top ¼” sliced off

1 pound kielbasa, sliced on the bias

1½ pounds small red potatoes

3 whole (1½ pounds each) live Maine lobsters

2 pounds scrubbed littleneck clams

5 ears sweet corn, shucked and halved

Instructions:

Fill a very large stockpot (may need to use multiple pots depending on sizing) with 2½ gallons of water and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the salt and stir until dissolved then add the thyme and garlic.

Add the potatoes and cook for about 6 minutes. Add the kielbasa then add the live lobsters, one at at time, claw first. Set the timer for 12 minutes. By then the lobsters will be cooked completely through and the meat will be solid white (if you are using a meat thermometer the temperature of the tail should read 180ºF).

At the 7 minute mark add the clams to the pot. When there are 4 minutes to go on the timer, add the corn.

When the time is up, drain the water from the pot and spread the contents from the boil on a large covered table or add the contents into large serving bowls.

Serve with grilled bread, lemon wedges and plenty of melted butter for dipping.

I just like to eat, and THAT is why I have to keep on moving, my friends. And I do. I exercise a lot. My favorite sports to practice: Bicycling and running upstairs, up and down.

So, I can afford this kind of meal, but not often though and in small portions. The good thing is that this wonderful messy food is in Dubai. So I can’t try it very often, LOL, especially now with the Coronavirus infecting all countries around the world and consequent travel restrictions.
