Conquering Challenges with Food and Aging Powerfully | Interview with Nan Simonsen

[@Axel.Villasenor]

I love how much of this is Mexican food and Mexican ingredients.

[@meman6964]

New Mexico Hatch green Chile, the very best!! When my son was stationed in Germany I went broke sending him cases of it! He was cooking for the guys on his crew,he flew Black Hawk

[@jocelynfoley6201]

Ohhhh Chef AJ! Wow! You are glowing more than usual! I just love that color on you!

[@CHEFAJ]

Thank you so much

[@hannahrl]

Ahoy, Nan and Chef AJ - chipotle chiles are available simply dry, just like anchor or other dry Mexican chiles. You can just rehydrate, add right into stews dry, etc. Doesn't matter have a tomato/garlic kind of sauce, but that's not really foundational to what a chipotle chile is. And obviously not hard to replace that adobo element if desired.

[@nazokashii]

[@roxyroloff2155]

Nan is such a complimentary humble human being. I truly enjoyed listening to her.

[@nansimonsen5251]

Thank you Roxy for your kind words and for joining us!

[@susanfabrican2244]

I use sprouted quinoa. The directions do not say to rinse. I guess that’s because it’s been rinsed as part of the sprouting process...?

[@j.c.1826]

Yes, you look amazing!

[@nansimonsen5251]

Thank you J.C.! It's the food :-)

[@kisammi6945]

So you dont cook jicama, l bought it, boiled it and ended up throwing away, it wasnt good

[@hannahrl]

Yes: absolutely eat it raw. It's fabulous. Next time!

[@kisammi6945]

@@hannahrl thanks, l will try it raw next time

[@meman6964]

Slice jicama thin, use like tortilla chips for dipping! Yum and crunch!!

[@debrajohnson9127]

What about diabetes would eating starchy vegetables be okay for us to eat vegetables

[@CHEFAJ]

Have you seen videos by Robby Barbaro and/orCyrus Khambatta of Mastering Diabetes? Lots of good information .

[@terrimoses8845]

Thanks for this video

[@faithhopelove001]

Would calorie density work for those who are into body building? Or want to put on muscle?

[@CHEFAJ]

You put muscle on in the gym by lifting weights, not by eating more food--that's how you put on more fat

[@hannahrl]

Check all kinds of guidance from Robert Cheeke, Paul Kerton on the channel Hench Herbivore, and many more. When building, professional body builders know how much more food they need to consume to meet caloric needs. The same array of whole plant foods, just in adjusted quantities, provides all the energy, micronutrients and protein that elite athletes of all varieties need. Check out Robert Cheeke's new book for lots of inspiration, interviews including how athletes eat in a week, and recipes.

[@maryfurman698]

70! No way!

[@nansimonsen5251]

Great to hear Mary. Thanks!

[@plantbasedpigmy5124]

When did she go wfpb

[@nansimonsen5251]

In the fall of 2018. Thank goodness that my husband was also ready for a dietary change. We were both heading in the wrong direction in health, and we feel that WFPB nutrition has helped us age backward :-)

I wish I could handle watching all of this and appreciate her coming on but my ears could not handle her throwing things in the sink with the noise (Introverts have heightened sensitivity to things like that).

[@nansimonsen5251]

Hi Donna, thank you for your input. Your point is well taken. I have amended my noisy ways, but I will be even more mindful in the future. Point well taken.

[@DVines-sz4nn]

Yes we are very sensitive to sounds! I would suggest that you try turning on the cc by touching the top right side of your screen and lowering your volume altogether for the length of said video. This will assist you to know what they're saying because the words come up on the display so you can benefit too without becoming overly stimulated by the things that set you off. I do it all the time. Remember to turn it off at the end for other videos though. I hope this helps! Be Well! 🍃💐🍏
