Investigating Food Used in Novels

This month, in place of a novel food scene, I’m featuring William A. Zahler’s new book, Happy Immunity (that I wrote a foreward for) along with a quick and easy healthy recipe.

Positive attitude affects health and longevity.

Below is a a list of some of the factors stressed by Zahler to build resiliency:

• Adopt an attitude of gratitude
• Be altruistic rather than self-centered
• Treat problematic circumstances as a learning process
• Learn to unwind and relax- listen to your favorite music, watch a good uplifting movie, sit with your favorite dog or cat 
• Find time to move and exercise- take a walk or bike ride
• Sleep 7 to 8 hours nightly
• Eat a healthy diet, focusing on consuming plants (vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts, seeds, beans), and avoid processed food like sugar, white bread, white pasta, pastries, and processed packaged foods. 

A sobering thought from Zahler:

“If  you are of a mind that you have ‘no time’ for healthy eating,

at some point you will be making time to attend to your illness.”

Here is a a healthy quick and easy food to try:
