Winter Quinoa

This week’s recipe is chock full of vitamins, nutrients, amino acid filled plant protein, and omega 3’s for cleansing, healing and, in honor of Valentine’s Week, heart-healthy goodness – my Winter Quinoa dish – one of the many wholesome, easy and delicious meals included in my 21 Day Metabolic Rehab Program

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup quinoa, rinsed and soaked for 20 minutes
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 4 cloves of garlic minced
  • 2 shallots, chopped
  • ½ bunch Swiss Chard, cut into ribbons
  • 1 15oz can of garbanzo beans (Eden Organics is a great brand)
  • 1 medium head of broccoli, grated
  • 1 medium head of cauliflower, grated
  • 1 carrot, grated
  • Large bunch of parsley, chopped
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • Zest and juice of one blood orange
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste

In a pot, combine quinoa, vegetable broth, garlic and shallots. Cook on medium heat for 15 – 20 minutes until liquid is absorbed. Stir in the rest of the ingredients and season with salt and pepper

This relatively quick, fresh recipe was curated specifically to help with lowering cholesterol, hormone balancing, weight management, and overall wellbeing – you wanna GLOW, right?

Tastiness aside, we love to embrace that psychological connection between feeling better and eating foods we know are healing and nourishing our bodies on so many levels. And while we’re here, how does this meal help with menopausal symptoms specifically? Glad you asked!

  • Quinoa is high in both protein and fiber, which helps regulate blood sugar levels, potentially reducing hot flashes.
  • Swiss chard contains an array of vitamins and minerals such as calcium, vitamin K, magnesium, iron and phosphorus that help support hormone balance.
  • Garbanzo beans provide essential nutrients like magnesium, manganese, B vitamins and antioxidants which can protect against disease. They also contain soluble fiber for better digestion and weight maintenance.
  • Broccoli and cauliflower contain phytoestrogens which acts similarly to estrogen in the body to relieve menopausal symptoms relief.
  • Carrots are a great source of beta carotene to keep skin looking fresh during menopause and they have anti-inflammatory properties.
  • Walnuts are packed with omega-3 fatty acids needed for healthy skin, brain function and hormone regulation.
  • Blood oranges are rich with red antioxidant compounds called anthocyanins and Vitamin C to combat bone loss brought on by menopause.
  • And lastly, our fave: Garlic has potent antioxidants to reduce inflammation while providing manganese and Vitamin B6 for better circulation throughout the body and lower risk of heart disease due to its ability to prevent platelet clumping as well as reduce cholesterol levels; it may help reduce hot flashes or night sweats caused by declining hormones levels too.

Bon Appetit ladies, your body will thank you!

    3- The rest of the sites are on different hostings

    4- We designate a distinct Google profile to each site with verification in Search Console.

    5- We create websites on WordPress, we don’t utilize plugins with the help of which malware penetrate and through which pages on your websites are produced.

    6- We do not reproduce templates and utilise only exclusive text and pictures

    We don’t work with website design; the client, if desired, can then edit the websites to suit his wishes

  232. Understanding COSC Accreditation and Its Importance in Watchmaking
    COSC Validation and its Strict Criteria
    Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres, or the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Agency, is the authorized Switzerland testing agency that certifies the precision and precision of timepieces. COSC certification is a symbol of excellent craftsmanship and dependability in chronometry. Not all timepiece brands seek COSC accreditation, such as Hublot, which instead sticks to its proprietary demanding criteria with mechanisms like the UNICO, attaining equivalent precision.

    The Art of Exact Chronometry
    The central system of a mechanized watch involves the mainspring, which provides power as it loosens. This system, however, can be susceptible to environmental elements that may affect its precision. COSC-accredited mechanisms undergo rigorous testing—over fifteen days in various conditions (5 positions, three temperatures)—to ensure their durability and dependability. The tests measure:

    Average daily rate precision between -4 and +6 secs.
    Mean variation, peak variation rates, and impacts of temperature variations.
    Why COSC Certification Matters
    For watch enthusiasts and collectors, a COSC-certified watch isn’t just a piece of technology but a testament to enduring excellence and precision. It signifies a timepiece that:

    Presents excellent dependability and accuracy.
    Ensures confidence of superiority across the whole construction of the timepiece.
    Is likely to maintain its worth more effectively, making it a sound choice.
    Popular Chronometer Manufacturers
    Several famous brands prioritize COSC accreditation for their watches, including Rolex, Omega, Breitling, and Longines, among others. Longines, for instance, offers collections like the Archive and Soul, which feature COSC-accredited movements equipped with advanced substances like silicon equilibrium springs to enhance resilience and performance.

    Historic Context and the Evolution of Timepieces
    The concept of the chronometer originates back to the need for precise timekeeping for navigation at sea, emphasized by John Harrison’s work in the eighteenth cent. Since the official establishment of COSC in 1973, the accreditation has become a yardstick for evaluating the accuracy of luxury watches, sustaining a tradition of excellence in horology.

    Conclusion
    Owning a COSC-validated timepiece is more than an aesthetic choice; it’s a commitment to quality and accuracy. For those valuing accuracy above all, the COSC validation offers tranquility of mind, guaranteeing that each accredited timepiece will perform dependably under various conditions. Whether for personal contentment or as an investment decision, COSC-accredited timepieces stand out in the world of watchmaking, carrying on a tradition of careful timekeeping.
