What qualities make magnesium such an essential mineral, required by the body for literally hundreds of its functions?

One of my “happy places” is the Mill City farmer’s market in Minneapolis. I love the fresh produce that changes throughout the season, the fresh cut flowers for my table, the frozen wild-caught Alaskan salmon from Wild Run Salmon, the flour from Sunrise Flour Mill, and fresh prepared foods from Spoon River or Chef Shack. The smells, the flavors and the people all make a visit to the market one of my favorite things to do on a summer Saturday morning.

Many times, we may have experienced the excruciating body ache, weariness, fatigue, tenderness after complicated workout regimen and more symptoms that force us to think if there is anything wrong in our body.

The core of the coconut and banana trees is a gastronomic treat and can be harvested for food. Situated right at the top and in the middle of the coconut tree, the latter will survive even if the palm heart is taken out, provided the tree has multiple stems. In addition, the banana pith resembles that of the coconut in many ways; in terms of their appearance, preparation for food, and health benefits. On the other hand, the salad fruits that grow at the base of the salak palm, are eaten as supplementary foods with many health benefits. Further, the green fruits of yet another palm, the queen sago, are excellent for making a fine flour for making bread. These native whole foods can spur on a flagging appetite as they are basically good, honest, real-tasting food.

It is important for a chef to concoct a salad dressing that can stand up to a combination of herbs without overpowering the flavors of all the whole food salad ingredients. In a fresh herb and vegetable salad by Andre Rochat, he uses a grand total of 8 fresh herbs of varying flavors, and 3 whole food ingredients. A simple olive oil dressing is livened up by stronger flavored condiments to stand up to the combined flavors of all the herbs. In yet another fresh herb salad, Patricia Wells uses only 5 herbs and a dressing of highly flavored olive oil is all there is to it. In addition, the fresh herb salad of Giada De Laurentiis, uses 5 herbs and pairs them with a leafy green and tossed in a specially blended olive oil dressing. Of the herbs used for a fresh herb salad by the 3 chefs, they avoid using 2 strong flavored herbs together at any one time; while they may use 2 to 4 types of the medium or delicate flavored herbs. All fresh herbs, however, must be chopped very fine. Most importantly, herbs is a deliciously healthy way to replenish your body’s supply of antioxidants.

It happens to many of us – we live long enough to get old. On the surface, it doesn’t appear as if there are many joys to aging. With more illness, more aches and pains, more regrets perhaps and even more uncertainties, getting old does not appear to be appealing at all.Many a young person looks at older people and says “no way, man!” or “I don’t want to be like that for sure!” Well, as the saying goes, knowledge may be quickly acquired but wisdom is learned over a lifetime. Wisdom itself is one joy of the senior world. Here are ten of my joys in getting older and I have discovered that most of them start from eating proper food, taking nutritive supplements and exercising. These are not really a secret at all are they?

Vitamin D is known as the “Sunshine Vitamin” as spending time outdoors in the sun is known to increase vitamin D in the body via the skin.

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition recommends some regular sun exposure (usually 5-10 min of exposure of the arms and legs or the hands, arms, and face, 2 or 3 times per week) and increased dietary…
