Oatmeal Great Benefits for a Stronger Healthier Body

Dr. Martha Andrea Castro Noriega, MD WMA FACS

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.

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!

Messy Fun Food of the Day: French Onion Soup Please Enjoy!

Dr. Martha Andrea Castro Noriega, MD WMA FACS

Make sure to make it messy…it tastes better!

INGREDIENTS

6 large yellow onions, sliced thinly
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups dry white wine
2 quarts chicken stock
5 ounces Gruyere cheese, grated (a Cheddar would work, too)
4 slices of hole-y, country bread

COOKING METHOD

In a large, wide-bottomed pot, combine the onions, cream, butter, and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, over medium to medium-high heat until the onions soften and the cream reduces to its solids.

This should take anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes, depending on your onions and your pot. Then turn the heat up slightly, so the onions and cream bubble at a slow boil, and cook without stirring for about six or seven minutes, until the onions on the bottom are deeply brown. (Depending on your stove, this might mean at medium heat or at high. Don’t go overboard: you don’t want the onions blackened.) Stir the onions and add a half-cup of wine and deglaze the pan, scraping up all the burnt and browned bits. Then repeat the process: leave the onions without stirring for another six minutes or so, then deglaze. Repeat until you have used all 2 cups of wine. The onions should now be a rich, dark brown color; they should smell divine.


Add the stock. (Use less if you want more of a stew.) Bring to a simmer and cook for about 15 minutes. Season with salt if needed.

Preheat the oven to 400. Toast the bread until it is dry and crusty, about 15 minutes. Ladle the soup into either ovenproof bowls or a single large baking dish (if the latter, place it on a baking sheet: it will spill). Fill the bowls or dish to nearly the rim. Float the bread on the soup and sprinkle with the Gruyere. Bake until the cheese is bubbly and browned, 20 to 30 minutes. Let cool until it will no longer burn your tongue. Devour!

Check your freezers for Contaminated Beef with Salmonella

Dr. Martha Andrea Castro Noriega, MD WMA FACS

…get it out and throw it away. I would throw away all ground beef bought even after the day that the USDA has given (see below the *). USDA inspected and beef was released for sale. Where and when the contamination occurred? Remember, your health is first.

*Recalled products will have the establishment number «EST. 267» inside the USDA mark of inspection.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has announced a massive recall of more than 6.5 million pounds of beef products that are contaminated with bacteria Salmonella Newport.

The Food Safety and Inspection Service division of the USDA says the health risk is high in the Class 1 recall.

USDA Recall Classifications
Class I This is a health hazard situation where there is a reasonable probability that the use of the product will cause serious, adverse health consequences or death.
Class II This is a health hazard situation where there is a remote probability of adverse health consequences from the use of the product.
Class III This is a situation where the use of the product will not cause adverse health consequences.

The establishment JBS Tolleson, Inc. announced the product recall, which includes ground beef, were packaged on various dates from July 26, 2018, to September 7, 2018.

At least 261 types of products with various brand names were shipped to New Mexico according to the list of recalled products.

Showcase/Walmart was the primary brand of recalled meat with other brands being Cedar River Farms Natural, Beef and Gourmet Burger.

Symptoms of salmonellosis usually occur between 6 to 72 hours after you ingest the bacteria. The most common symptoms include:

  • diarrhea, which may contain blood or mucous

  • fever

  • headache

  • stomach cramps

  • nausea

  • vomiting

  • dehydration, especially among infants and the elderly.

In rare cases, septicaemia (local infection) may develop as a complication of salmonellosis.
