These recipes featuring steel-cut oats and wheat berries are delicious, creative ways to enjoy two healthy whole grains. All ingredients are easily found in most markets and do not require advanced technical skills. Steel-cut oats are not as popular as they should be. My recipe for Coconut-Scented Steel-Cut Oats with Tropical Fruit Salad will allow you to enjoy oats in a new way, using tropical flavors and textures not normally associated with oats. Steel-cut oats are very nutritious and have an incredible texture and taste, which is best described as “nutty” and is more intense in flavor than traditional rolled oats. The longer cooking time is an investment in flavor and texture and is well worth it. Wheat berries deserve to be much better known. There are two main varieties grown in this country: white and red wheat. The red wheat is a winter crop and my preferred choice. This grain takes some time to cook but is packed with fiber, protein, vitamins and minerals, making it ...

Most of us know that brown rice is a healthy choice, but barley has become a less familiar grain. My recipes will allow you to enjoy both of these nutritious whole grains in new ways, using flavors and textures not normally associated with them. All ingredients are easily found in most markets and do not require advanced technical skills to prepare. Try Chef Keith Snow's recipes: Mushroom Barley Soup Brown Rice Stuffed Acorn Squash Barley is traditionally served in soups that contain meat — either chicken or beef. I decided to design a vegetarian‐friendly soup that has a hearty flavor, hence the reason I use mushrooms. They lend a flavor profile called “umami,” which is a recently discovered taste that we all appreciate. It mimics the flavor profile of meat. This soup is packed with vegetables and of course barley, which helps make it more filling and nutritious. Brown rice is healthier than white rice, which has been stripped of most of its texture and flavor by ...

“Be the change you want to see in the world.” — Mahatma Gandhi As a naturopathic physician focused on weight management, eating disorders and other chronic health challenges, I am a doctor who uses a holistic approach, treating body, mind and spirit together. In my 12 years of practice, I can sum up my patients’ biggest challenges in taking better care of themselves in two ways: 1. There is no “magic bullet” or “quick fix” Every day, we encounter messages telling us how we should look and feel, and what we should consume to look and feel this way. They make it sound so simple. But one truth is that there are no quick fixes or magic bullets to health and well‐being. The other truth is that we get to declare our independence. We say who we are, how we should look, how we want to feel. 2. Health begins in our own mind We have to create new habits to replace the old habits that don’t work for us. We can set priorities and think good thoughts about ourselves. This ...

A diet rich in whole grains can help keep your heart healthy and reduce the risk of certain cancers. That’s because whole grains contain fibers and other valuable nutrients that benefit your body. Studies also show that people who eat whole grains tend to stay more satisfied throughout the day, get more physical activity and maintain a healthier weight. Whole grains have so much to offer, we just can’t stop singing their praises! Body Mass Index (BMI)/Hunger Satisfaction: Dietary fiber has been associated with lower body weight and body fat. In one study, women with the highest fiber intake had a 49 percent lower risk of major weight gain over 12 years. Just like the link between whole grains and heart disease, an important part of body weight management seems to be whole grain’s fiber content. Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) and Stroke: According to recent studies, the bran component of whole grain in particular could be the main factor in reducing the risk of heart ...
