Air fryer BBQ cauliflower wings

Submitted by emily.griffin on

These air-fryer “honey” BBQ cauliflower wings will be a hit at your next tailgate party. The wings have the flavor and crunch of traditional BBQ wings but contain fewer grams of fat and calories. While these cauliflower wings have the taste of honey, they have no added sugar since they’re sweetened with an artificial sweetener. 

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened soy or almond milk
  • 1/8 tsp kosher salt
  • 10-ounce package of cauliflower florets
  • 1/3 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Instructions:

To make the wings: Preheat air fryer to 375 degrees F. In a medium bowl, whisk together batter ingredients. (If batter is too thin, add a little more flour and stir.) Add in cauliflower florets and toss to coat each piece evenly. 

Spray basket of air fryer with nonstick cooking spray. Using tongs, place each batter-covered floret into the basket. It’s best to work in two batches so you don’t overcrowd the air fryer. Air-fry each batch for 7 minutes, then remove and brush cauliflower wings with your preferred sauce. Return to air fryer another 1–2 minutes until crispy.

Remove and repeat for the next batch.

What’s in Season

Submitted by emily.griffin on

Farmers’ markets, produce stands and backyard gardens are some of the best places to get seasonal fruits and vegetables. In fall, we eagerly visit apple orchards to pick, or pick up, a bushel or a peck (we love both). With our freshly picked fruits, pumpkins, squash and other fresh root vegetables, we make seasonal salads, pies and other delicious dishes from recipes passed down through generations. Aside from pleasing your tastebuds, there are benefits to eating what’s in season.   

 

Health benefits of eating what’s in season  

Seasonal food is typically fresher, tastier and more nutritious than eating it when it’s out of season. Vegetables and fruits out of season in our area are typically picked early to ripen on the long journey to our grocery stores. Researchers at Montclair State University found that the vitamin C content of broccoli is cut in half when it’s shipped out of the country compared to when it’s sourced locally.   

 

Locally grown fruits and vegetables last longer in the fridge and on countertops. That’s because they’re harvested and in your hands well before produce from a different state or country. Produce that can fully ripen on the vine has more nutrients, making it healthier for us to eat. Buying local produce tastes better, lasts longer and has a higher nutritional value. That sounds like a win-win-win.  

 

What’s in season in the fall? 

There are plenty of delicious, nutritious foods harvested this time of year. Here’s a list that includes the vitamins and minerals in many fall favorites, courtesy of the United States Department of Agriculture:  

 

  • Apples – a great source of vitamin C, fiber and antioxidants.   

  • Cabbage – contains antioxidants, calcium and vitamin B.   

  • Cauliflower – a good source of folate, vitamins B, C and potassium.  

  • Potatoes – a good source of potassium and vitamin C.

  • Pumpkins – rich in vitamins A, B1, B6, C and E, potassium and the antioxidant beta carotene.  

  • Winter Squash– rich in vitamins A and C.  

 

Supporting local farmers is good for the economy and our health. It’s also reassuring to know where our food comes from by buying locally.

Five health myths doctors wish would go away

Submitted by Kyle.Norton on

From “starve a fever, feed a cold” to “drink eight glasses of water a day,” old wives’ tales and false medical advice run rampant in our everyday lives. Even the soundest medical advice can struggle to stand up against some of the myths we hold as truth. Can you tell fact from fiction? Check out five myths that doctors debunk regularly below.

 

Starve a fever, feed a cold.

According to the medical experts at Cedars-Sinai, this is fiction. Cold or flu, your immune system needs energy and nutrients to do its job, so eating and getting enough fluids is essential. Researchers at Harvard Medical School agree, saying that there’s no need to eat more or less than usual if you have a cold or flu.  

 

 

You need to drink eight glasses of water a day to stay hydrated.

Many people grew up hearing that drinking eight glasses of water is what’s needed to be properly hydrated. The truth is that many studies state that thirst is the best indicator of how much water you need to drink.

 

 

Going out with wet hair will make you sick.

It turns out that running out of the house without drying your hair won’t make you sick. Going out with wet hair can definitely make you colder, but it can’t make you sick. Studies do show that if you already have the virus in your body, going out with wet hair can cause the symptoms to begin showing.

 

 

Stress leads to high blood pressure.

Your stress levels aren’t as tied to your blood pressure levels as you think. Stress can temporarily raise your blood pressure, but chronic high blood pressure isn’t a direct outcome of stress.

 

 

Cracking your knuckles causes arthritis.

Although cracking your knuckles isn’t good for you, it isn’t particularly harmful either. The long running rumor that this habit will cause arthritis is false.

Spotlight on Walter Randolph, M.D., MS

Submitted by Kyle.Norton on

After more than 24 years of a successful private practice, Walter Randolph, M.D., MS, joined Genesis Women’s Health Specialists, serving the Coshocton area. When he was considering a change, Dr. Randolph said he wanted to join a system with a strong focus on patients and communities. “As soon as I started talking with the people here, I knew I was making the right choice,” he said. “I have always worked to educate patients about their conditions, so they understand what is happening and why I do certain things to help. That happens best in this type of practice.”  

 

A fourth-generation physician, Dr. Randolph said he initially pursued a career in the sciences, but “God always led me back to medicine.” He considered other specialties but chose obstetrics and gynecology because it is a combination of clinical and surgical medicine. It also allowed him to see a variety of patients for a long period of their lives.

 

Dr. Randolph is also looking forward to the use of the new surgical suites in Coshocton. “The facility has all the technology to best serve our patients,” he said.

 

Dr. Randolph, his wife and family like hiking, boating, birdwatching and spending time outdoors. “I enjoy fresh air and open spaces.”

The sweet pain of inflammation

Submitted by emily.griffin on

Is too much of a good thing bad? Philosophers have pondered this question for centuries. In the case of inflammation, it is absolutely true. Inflammation is how your body fights infection. However, sometimes your body continues to create inflammation without anything to combat. This can become chronic inflammation, and that can cause pain, cancer, heart disease, arthritis, depression and more – all bad things.  

The good news is there are steps you can take to reduce your odds of chronic inflammation. According to multiple studies, including a review of the effects of dietary sugar from 2018, eating less sugar can decrease your chance of developing chronic inflammation.  

When you digest sugar, your blood glucose spikes, and your body produces insulin, leading to the creation of inflammatory hormones. If you are consuming too much sugar, your body can create too many inflammatory hormones, and that can lead to chronic inflammation.

However, sugar is not the only thing to avoid. It is generally acknowledged certain types of food can lead to inflammation. Try to avoid refined carbohydrates that include white bread and bakery items, fried foods, soda, red meat and margarine.

The sweetest news is not only can you avoid certain foods to reduce your chances of developing chronic inflammation, you can also eat your way to good health. A Mediterranean diet of fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, whole grains, fish and healthy oils is widely accepted to decrease inflammation.  

For more tips on dealing with inflammation, talk to your family doctor.

Green skin from jewelry: What is it?

Submitted by emily.griffin on

Picture this: You’ve just bought a beautiful new piece of jewelry. You spend the day admiring your ring, necklace or earrings, but when you remove it at the end of the day, you let out a loud groan. Your skin is now a strange green color. We’ve all been there. When your jewelry stains your skin green, it is at best, annoying, and at worst, embarrassing. It’s a common occurrence, but why does it happen? Read on to learn more about this phenomenon.  

 

 

Why is my skin green? Is it dangerous? 

 

Your skin turns because of a chemical reaction from the metal in your jewelry and the sweat on your skin. It can also be caused by your lotion or soap as well. According to Nebraska Medicine, it’s not dangerous, so don’t worry. 

 

 

What kind of jewelry will turn my skin green? 

 

We’re often told that “cheap” jewelry is the culprit of the green discoloration. The truth is that the price point of your gems isn’t the real issue. Typically, green skin from jewelry is caused by copper. Whether your jewelry is completely copper, or just has copper mixed in the metals, it can react with your sweat, lotion or soap and leave your skin green. Copper isn’t always to blame though. Certain silver jewelry can also have this effect. 

 

 

How can I get rid of it? 

 

Typically, you can remove the discoloration with soap and water. If that doesn’t seem to work, you can use alcohol remover. 

 

 

Is there a way to prevent it? 

 

You can opt for jewelry that doesn’t have copper in it. Another trick is to cover the offending jewelry with clear nail polish. This will create a barrier between the metal and your skin and prevent any unwanted interactions, keeping your skin stain-free.
