FEED YOURSELF RIGHT
Balsamic Grilled Flank Steak with Shiitake Mushrooms
 |
- 1/2c balsamic vinegar
- 1/2c red wine
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4c low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 1/3 lbs lean flank steak
- 1 lb large shitake mushrooms, stems removed
- 1tbl olive oil
|
|
INSTRUCTIONS:
Make the marinade by combining the balsamic vinegar, red wine, garlic and soy sauce together in a
mixing bowl. Brush 1/2 the marinade on the flank steak, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight. In
a separate bowl, toss the remaining marinade with the shiitake mushrooms, cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes or up to 2
hours. Preheat the grill to medium-high. Grill the steak for 4 - 8 minutes on each side and grill mushrooms for 3
minutes on each side. Arrange the steak on a serving platter with the mushrooms on top. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Back To School
Childhood obesity rates have tripled over the past two decades and the next generation will be the first whose
life expectancy will be shorter than their parents. Since most kids have extremely high metabolisms that we can only
envy, it's easy to often give them whatever they want. But eventually the metabolism slows down and the pounds come on.
As parents, help foster a love for healthy eating and exercise that will last your kids a lifetime, hopefully a long one!

8 Foods Not to Feed Your Kids:
1. Chicken nuggets/tender. These popular kids-menu items are little nuggets of compressed fat, sodium, high-
fructose corn syrup (HFCS), and in some form, chicken. The nuggets or tenders are made or ground pieces of chicken meat and skin
pressed into a shape, flavored with HFCS and salt, and batter-fried in hydrogenated oil (the bad, trans-fatty stuff). Menu
items like McDonald's Premium Breast Strips (5 pieces) pack 630 calores and 33 grams of fat. Instead... grill
chicken and if you must go with breading, try dipping the chicken breast in a beaten egg, and then rolling it in cornflake
crumbs before you bake it. It'll be crunchy and delicious, but not as fatty.
2. Sugary cereal. Do you remember as a child, feeling horribly deprived when you would go to friends' houses for
overnights and be treated to cereals with marshmallows that turned the milk fluorescent pink or blue? Instead...Read
the labels and try to find cereal that is low in sugar and high in fiber and whole grains. Add raisins, sliced bananas (my favorite),
berries, or other seasonal fruit to the cereal.
3. Lunch meat and hot dogs. Kids love hot dogs, bologna and other processed meats, but they are full of potentially
carcinogenic nitrates and nitrites, sodium, saturated fat, and artificial colors and fillers. Oscar Mayer's Lunchables are
loaded with processed meats and crackers made with hydrogenated oils, these innocent-looking meals can boast fat counts of
up to 38 grams. That is over half the recommended daily allowance of fat for an adult.
4. Juice and juice-flavored drinks. Juice drinks that aren't 100% juice are usually laced with artificial colors and high-fructose
corn syrup, and should be avoided. Instead...Water is still the best! If they're very water resistant, try water
with a splash of fruit juice in it. But just a splash.
5. French fries. High in fat, high in calories and sodium, the most popular "vegetable" amoung kids. The fat they're
fried in is usually trans fat, the unhealthiest kind for the heart. Instead...vegetables like baby carrots, celery
sticks or if potatoes must be had, there are some options. Try making baded fries or the classic baked potato.
Chips. Potato chips, Cheetos, Doritos, etc. These are full of fat and way more sodium than any child or adult should
eat. Instead...Try making a trail mix or try air-popped popcorn and some baked chips are okay. Remember to move
away from the wrong trail by adding chocolate chips or marshmallows!
7. Fruit leather. These gelatinous snacks like roll-ups or fruit bites contain a trace amount of fruit but lots of
sugar or HFCS and bright aritificial colors. Don't be fooled by the word "fruit"on their box, real fruit is in the produce
section, not the candy aisle.
8. Doughnuts. The worst thing about doughnuts, and other pastries, aside from their nutritional content, is that
they're often presented to children as acceptable breakfast choices. These delicious pastries need to be categorized as
desserts, to be eaten sparingly, and you can't have dessert for breakfast.Instead...You must stand firm, be the cop
that doesn't like doughnuts. Doughnuts-not for breakfast. Period.
Race Day Hamstring Stretch
Hamstring: Raise your knee so your thigh is parallel to the ground. Hold your hamstring. This is the starting position.
Extend your leg forward; return to the starting position
MYTH BUSTER
Myth: Beginning weightlifters should stick to machines. Reality: Most free-weight exercises are quite safe
for novices. Plus, they work many deeper muscles not challenged by machines and help to develops balance and coordination.
