Good nutrition is the goal most of our woman listeners aspires to – but how many of these important nutrients are you getting through food in your diet rather than a supplement? An easy way to get more minerals is to eat a handful of nuts each day – walnuts are great for you.
In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy share a favorite fruit and nut salad recipe. We love adding fruit and nuts into our salads. Number one because it is delicious and number two it is because it helps us get in our proper servings of fruit and protein. You start this rock star salad with some baby spinach as the base then add your favorite fruits like strawberries, mangoes, or oranges. now add some nuts like pecans, walnuts or almonds – don’t go too nuts with the nuts because they have a lot of calories. Now add more veggies like olives, mushrooms or hearts of palm. Add dressing if you’d like – maybe a nice balsamic vinegar or go commando – without dressing. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy explain the dangers of peanut allergies. Peanut allergies are sometimes so severe that a person’s airways can become so swollen they can’t breathe. In schools kids with peanut allergies are relegated to a peanut free table in the back of the cafeteria. There may be hope. A doctor (not Dr Fitness) has developed a potential cure for peanut allergies that involves slowly desensitizing a child to peanuts in a hospital setting. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.
