Just recently I started reading Bragg Healthy Lifestyle: Vital Living to 120!
by Patricia Bragg, N.D., Ph.D., and Paul C. Bragg, ND, Ph.D. Paul Bragg is
considered the father of the health food movement in America; opened the
first health food store; and originated Radio Health Programs in the 1920s.
Patricia Bragg has followed in her fathers footsteps and continues the
crusade for healthy living.
Amino acids are critically important to life and health - crucial for growth,
maintenance and repair of the human body as theyre involved in the
formation of muscle and tissue proteins, skin, hair, nails and enzymes. If
you want to know about the technical aspects of Amino Acids and what they do
for your body, go to www.bragg.com or Google amino acids and read to
your hearts content. My purpose in writing about Bragg Liquid Aminos is to
share with you ways that I use it in preparing a couple of my delicious,
nutritious meals.
Salad Dressing: When mixing oil and vinegar, add flavor and health benefits
with a splash of Bragg Liquid Aminos and (if youre not planning on kissing
someone new) put some chopped up garlic in it. YUM! It was almost 25 years
ago when my second husband, Jacques Duvoisin, became famous in our town for
his salad dressing. Guests would practically beg him for his secret but he
wouldnt tell. Then one year when we went to a Christmas dinner party at
the home of some friends, Jacques brought each couple a gift he wrapped
himself: a small bottle of Bragg Liquid Aminos the secret ingredient in
his salad dressing.
Breakfast Scrambed Egg, Quinoa and Veggies: I eat a variation of this most
mornings. Soak quinoa overnight (enough for a few days), then next morning
rinse and drain. Be sure to drain in a strainer with SMALL holes I lost
most of it the first time by using a spaghetti colander. Then put fresh water
in about 1 cups water to 1 cup of quinoa - and cook until water is
absorbed, about 8 to 10 minutes. (You need less than 2 to 1 water to grain
when its been soaked.)
Cut up some veggies broccoli and asparagus are my favorites and
braise them in a frying pan in coconut oil. (Sure, olive oil is okay but
coconut oil is better.) Add the quinoa, then mix up a raw egg or two with a
fork and pour the mixture on top, grind in some pepper and moosh it all
around. Then add some Bragg. (Why am I the only one who doesnt call it
Braggs?) It has a salty taste so dont add extra salt and if youre
on a salt-restricted diet, be aware that tsp of Bragg has 160 mg of
sodium. But it also has all those good liquid amino acids.
Before I even start making my breakfast, I put the kettle of water on for my
morning drink:
Bragg Raw Apple Cider Vinegar and Stevia: When the kettle makes a shooshing
noise like its almost ready to boil, turn it off and pour it into a quart
thermos. Then shake the bottle of Apple Cider Vinegar to mix the mother
that settles at the bottom and pour about 2 TBSs into the thermos. Next, add
2 drops of Stevia, the natural sweetener that has a negligible effect on
blood glucose. Or you can add honey if you prefer. I drink this throughout
the morning.
There are many more tasty ways to use Bragg Liquid Aminos and in so doing,
make your meals a bit healthier. If you come up with something yummy, Id
love to hear from you. Theres nothing quite as satisfying as discovering
new ways to add a bit of splash to a healthy diet. Please Comment below and
share with us your ideas for making healthy food tasty.
