harmonious balance

The only thing I love more than being affected, is affecting others.
It comes down to sharing our stories, our gifts, our blessings and our challenges.
Listening to others, learning and growing.
Doing your best and then simply letting go.

peace & God bless

ORANGE Rx Men’s Health Magazine/September 2011 

A tangerine a day may keep the heart doctor away.  In a Japanese study, people who ate citrus fruits nearly every day had a lower risk of cardiovascular disease than those who almost never ate any.  The high antioxidant levels in citrus may block the formation of free radicals and repair existing damage, according to the study.  Try orange, tangerine, or grapefruit sections in salad; or substitute diced citrus for tomatoes in salsa to use as a quick, fresh sauce for grilled fish. Ingredients

  • 3 cups chopped vine-ripened tomatoes
  • 1 cup small diced red onions
  • 1 large fresh jalapeno, seeded and cut into small dice
  • 1/2 cup loosely packed chopped fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves
  • 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
  • 2 medium oranges, skin and pith remove and segmented
  • Salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Directions Combine all of the ingredients in a mixing bowl and toss well. Season with salt and pepper. Allow the salad to sit for 15 minutes before serving.
