Dear John,
Happy St. Patrick's week! What better way to celebrate than with a blarney of
a sale? For all those who will be eating corned beef and cabbage this week - now is a great time to
stock up on our
Corned Beef Flatiron as it is
on sale! This dish is one
of our best kept secrets - a few hours of slow cooking and an array of vegetables is all you need for
one lucky meal! If you aren't a corned beef fan - our favorite
T-Bone Steaks are also
on sale this week!
Are you looking for one
food that is better than most with its endless lists of vitamins and minerals? A food that our
ancestors considered "sacred", and the Weston A. Price Foundation calls a "superfood?" Then you need to
add
chicken livers to your grocery list. Liver from grazing
animals is loaded with health benefits, but according to
Weston A. Price "liver from poultry may be the best of all the livers
with its nice balance of Vitamins A, D, and K2." Read the full story and many recipes from the Weston
A. Price Foundation's
website, and then add a package to your next order. Now is a great
time to try something new because they are
on sale this week too!

This week's question: "What is the
traditional profession of leprechauns?" Please email your answers to jen@grasslandbeef.com.Thanks to all who have been participating in our Trivia
Contests! In the last news alert, we asked: What is the March birth flower? The answer
was: Daffodil. On a personal note, let's all take a moment to reflect on the
families impacted by the earthquakes this past week, and give thanks to those in harms way trying to rescue
survivors and attempting to tame the damaged nuclear reactors. May strength and wisdom be with all involved.
The events on the Japanese coast are another reminder to live your life to the fullest every day.

Question and Answer Column
| |
Dear Dr. Serrano,
My husband
has medically controlled high cholesterol and blood pressure and a calcified aortic valve (possibly from
rheumatic fever as a child) that frequently causes chest pressure and shortness of breath. I know that
grass-fed beef has omega 3 and CLA, but it also has a concentrated amount of saturated fat. Should my
husband eat this food in moderation, and, if so, how much or how often is common for guys who are almost 60
with his condition?
He eats very little meat and dairy, choosing soy products instead
because this was such a scare for him. His digestion has improved and his numbers are good.
Thanks for your suggestions,
Jolene
________________________________________
Dear Jolene, Eat organic
grass fed beef, because as I have mentioned in previous articles, it is not the fat, but
the source of the fat. If he is getting saturated fats from bad sources, then he is going to get toxins
in it. Go for the organic
grass fed red meat, but
again, the key question is how is he feeling? If he is feeling good with high energy levels, then there is
nothing to worry about. If he is feeling low energy levels, then we may need to look at other parts of his
diet. In addition I wouldn't use soy at all because the estrogenic and insulinogenic properties. Good Luck, Dr.

| Customer Feedback |
 I thought that Dr. Serrano gave a very good answer to the question by Shirley in a
recent column. The one thing that I would suggest is that perhaps mother and daughter could take some cooking
classes together - maybe Italian, Indian, or Southwestern cuisine. Working together in a kitchen
is a great way to bond with someone, and learning about cooking also educates one about eating. Seeing what
actually goes into food gives one a greater appreciation for what we are putting in our bodies. Being able to
make it yourself gives one the ability to tailor food to one's own personal tastes and health needs. And finally, it is worth remembering that food can taste good as well as being good for you. Moderation in
all things, etc. A healthy breakfast needn't always be "kefir with fruit, stevia, vitamin D, flax oil,
coconut shavings," but could be oatmeal cooked overnight in a slow cooker served with dried fruits and
honey, maple syrup, or even - yes - a sprinkle of sugar. If I had
to drink kefir for breakfast, I'd probably stop for a Pop-Tart the first chance I had, too. Sarah

US Wellness - Supporting Our Troops
|  As the war on terror continues to rage in the Middle East, we continue to follow and support our
troops both at home and abroad who work daily to protect our freedom. Beginning in our 2011 News Alerts
we will focus on different organizations and individuals who are making a difference in the lives of our
American Soldiers.
 Guitars for Vets is an amazing organization that has taken an alternative approach to
helping veterans who are suffering from PTSD. They are using the healing power of music to help
soldiers deal with both physical and emotional wounds by taking their mind off their injuries and focusing on
the guitar in their hands. The VA medical team refers veterans to the
Guitars for Vets program. From there, they receive six free music lessons, and an
acoustic guitar of their own as a parting gift. But the healing does not stop there. There are
group sessions with other veterans that lead to a strong camaraderie that helps with the healing process. The Guitars for Vets program can only expand with additional funding. Visit their website for
ways you can help. You will also want to visit the
video gallery for powerful news coverage telling how important
this program is to its participants. Follow them on
Facebook for all the latest happenings, or help spread the word on
Twitter. |
