SCRUMPTIOUS Pineapple Chicken Bake Recipe!

I love this recipe! This balanced dish of proteins,
carbohydrates, and healthy fats will leave you feeling full AND your blood
sugars balanced, which is what you should want for better health! Chow down
with some ruffage (i.e., salad) and you are good to go!

Also, if you have a few busy days and not much time to cook,
this recipe will give you leftovers that will healthfully sustain you during
those days when you need it most!

Pineapple Chicken Bake*

Serves 4

Prep time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

2 boneless skinless
chicken breasts (Organic, grass-fed preferred; consuming animal protein
multiple times per day balances blood sugars and boosts brain chemicals
important for creating healthier, depression/anxiety/stress-free moods)

Salt and Pepper

 

1 20-ounce can
pineapple chunks in juice (Check your labels to avoid the high-fructose
corn syrup that messes up liver metabolism and contributes to the
insulin-resistance  associated with
diabetes. Better yet—use fresh pineapple!)

 

¼ cup honey
(Purchasing and consuming honey from the area where you live helps boost your
immune system and your local economy too!)

1 tablespoon apple
cider vinegar (Braggs Raw Organic Apple Cider recommended)

2 teaspoons curry
powder (Contains antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties)

1 teaspoon cornstarch
(Corn is in many food products and is considered to be inflammatory. To
reduce/eliminate corn consumption in this recipe, substitute 1 teaspoon rice
flour)

1 Tablespoon water

 

1/3 cup almonds
(Contain monounsaturated fats, calcium, magnesium, and antioxidants. Beneficial
for your brain, skin, hair, moods, and overall health and vitality! They are a SUPERFOOD!)

1. Adjust an oven rack to the upper position and heat the
   oven to 450 degrees. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and then season with
   salt and pepper. Lay the chicken in a 9 X 13 inch baking dish coated lightly
   with olive oil/coconut oil.
2. Drain pineapple chunks and reserve ½ cup of the juice. Whisk
   pineapple juice, honey, vinegar, and curry in a medium saucepan over
   medium-high heat. Simmer, whisking often, until the mixture has thickened, for
   about 8 minutes.
3. Quickly dissolve the cornstarch (or rice flour) in the
   water, then whisk into the honey mixture. Stir in the pineapple chunks. Pour
   the pineapple  sauce over the chicken;
   then sprinkle with almonds. Bake until the chicken registers 160 degrees on an
   instant read thermometer, 15-18 minutes.

Falling into Health Chiropractic Specials-October 2011, in Lakeville, MN

It’s the “Itchy and Scratchy” seasonal episode!

“My nose is like a spicket today!” “My eyes are itching like crazy!” “HELP!”

Lakeville community members often come to Back to Wellness Chiropractic for the treatment of their allergies, seasonal or food-related. Many allergic and asthmatic reactions are caused by a hypersenstive immune system and/or respiratory system. Researchers have found that the immune and respiratory systems depend on normal communication from the brain and spinal cord to control and coordinate their functions properly.

Therefore, a misaligned neck can cause an imbalance in your nervous system function. This joint irritation could possibly produce or exaggerate asthmatic and allergic symptoms. Dr. Kayla Zirpel-Proctor recommends spinal examinations to Lakeville area community members to determine if chiropractic care can reduce their allergic and asthmatic reactions.

Additional lifestyle areas Dr. Kayla specializes in and recommends for her practice members suffering from allergies are:

•  Paleolithic Nutrition: We are genetically designed to consume the diet of our ancestors.
•  Detoxification Program: We spring-clean our houses-the same should go for our bodies! Our bodies can accumulate toxins that stress our immune system and lead to allergy-like symptoms, such as headaches, runny nose, sinus congestion. etc.
