Foods to Avoid Post Cataract surgery for Quick Healing

Here's the list of food items you should consume and avoid for faster recovery when you have undergone cataract surgery. A key factor in cataract surgery recovery is nutrition, which plays a pivotal role in not only preventing complications but also expediting recovery.

January is historically the coldest month of the year here in New York. With the onset of chilly weather comes a peak in the cases of seasonal illnesses as people spend more time indoors and the cold, dry air lowers our resistance to viruses. So, if it seems like you and everyone you know is currently sick, was recently sick or is in the process of recuperating from being sick, it’s most likely not your imagination as these types of illnesses are cresting right now.   Getting regular exercise, adequate sleep and consuming a diversity of fresh, unprocessed, nutrient-dense foods, such as those found in the farmers market, is fundamental to boosting your immune system and keeping you as healthy as possible throughout the winter months. But, when you’re sick or under the weather, incorporating these traditional, food-based therapies featuring wholesome ingredients can help you feel better and get you back on your feet faster.  A Better BRAT The BRAT diet is an acronym that stands for its four food components -- bananas, rice, apple sauce, and toast. This diet used to be recommended for people, especially children, experiencing gastrointestinal symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea or gastroenteritis. Due to its restrictive nature, the original BRAT diet should be considered a temporary solution and is no longer recommended for extended periods of use beyond a meal or two. Instead, when mild tummy troubles arise, medical professionals now typically suggest consuming a greater variety of bland foods that are gentle on the stomach, along with plenty of fluids and electrolytes. If a bland diet is what the doctor has ordered, congee (Asian rice porridge) makes an excellent choice for an easily digestible, yet nutrient-rich, meal that has been used by the Chinese as a stomach remedy for thousands of years. Congee is made by boiling rice in a large amount of water or stock until the rice softens almost to the melting point, and the broth thickens with creamy rice starch. Adding small quantities of nutritious, stomach-friendly flavorings including minced garlic and ginger, and toppings such as shredded chicken breast will add extra appeal and goodness to your congee without aggravating your digestive system.  Gather all the ingredients you need at the farmers market this weekend to make this deliciously warming and soothing Ginger Chicken Congee recipe from Food and Wine Magazine: 

1 cup Great Joy Family Farm long-grain white rice, rinsed 

7 cups Yellow Bell Farm chicken stock or homemade vegetable stock 

One-inch knob of Jersey Farm Produce ginger, peeled and sliced thin 

Optional: 3 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded (Yellow Bell Farm, Roaming Acres)

1/2 teaspoon kosher or sea salt, plus more for seasoning 

1/4 teaspoon sesame seed oil 

Fresh cracked black pepper, to taste 

Sliced green onion from the farmstalls, for garnish 

Chicken Soup for the Cold While a steaming hot bowl of chicken noodle soup isn’t necessarily a cure for a common cold, it can help relieve its uncomfortable symptoms and defrost you after spending time outside in the “common winter cold”! Not only will the vapor from homemade chicken soup relieve nasal congestion, the broth will rehydrate you, the noodles will provide instant energy-boosting carbs, and its nutritious goodness will feed your entire immune system. 

Trisha, our long-time Larchmont Farmers Market Manager, shares her trusted recipe for healing chicken soup that can be made with either rice or noodles, depending on your personal preference: 

Ingredients

1 whole chicken (Yellow Bell Farm, Roaming Acres) 

3 cloves garlic (Jersey Farm Produce) 

2 medium-sized Great Joy Family Farm purple or orange carrots

1 large leek (Jersey Farm Produce)

1 red onion (4E Green Farm)

1 large rib celery plus handful of leafy celery tops (Great Joy Family Farm)

1 bunch of parsley (4E Green Farm)

1 cup Great Joy Family Farm fragrant long grain rice or 1 cup La Trafila fresh pasta 

Instructions

Roast chicken, when cooled, remove most of the meat but be sure to leave some on! 

Place chicken carcass in a large pot filled with water. 

Add garlic cloves (minced or whole), roughly chopped leek, celery, carrots and red onion to pot. 

Season with salt, pepper, parsley and start a low simmer for 3-4 hours. 

Taste occasionally, add seasoning if needed. 

When done cooking, remove chicken carcass and remove its remaining meat. 

Add chicken meat back into the soup. Add cooked rice or noodles. 

Garnish with fresh parsley. 

Serve piping hot! 

Of course, consuming a diversity of fresh, healthy and delicious farmers market fare all year-round is the best way to make an ounce of prevention worth a pound of cure! But, as the ancient saying goes, 'Let thy food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food', so, if need be, we hope these tried-and-true food-based remedies come in handy during peak virus season. In the meantime, we look forward to seeing you ready to ward off the ‘cold and colds’ by bundling up well and heading out to the markets this coming weekend.

“當一口咬下完全感到的滿足，那便是最最療癒到心底深處的極致美味。”

就讓我任性一回 享受一次油滋滋的療癒力

說到 BLT，大���應該都不陌生，即培根 (bacon)、生菜 (lettuce)、番茄 (tomato) 的三項組合，但是 BEC 呢？ BEC 即所謂的培根 (bacon)、蛋 (egg) 、起士 (cheese) 的三項組合夾上各式麵包或貝果，另外衍伸出 PEC，為猶太口味的燻牛肉 (pastrami) 、蛋 (egg) 、起士 (cheese)。無論是BEC 或 PEC 都存在紐約的早餐版圖已久，紐約隨處可見的早餐餐車都有賣圓麵包或貝果夾 BEC 可賣，配上一杯淡到不行的美式咖啡，是陪伴我成長的紐約早餐。

我常常在上法拉盛7號地鐵前在靠近地鐵入口處的跟一個中年老墨大叔開的餐車買 “BEC on a roll” (圓麵包夾 BEC) 加上中杯的咖啡，不過因為圓麵包超級乾，我每次都會交代老墨大叔多放些番茄醬跟奶油，久了老墨大叔看到我就會說 “BEC on a roll with muchos ( 西班牙文很多的意思) butter and ketchup, medium coffee with whole milk no sugar”，然後會火速地幫我做好後放入錫箔紙捲起來，加上咖啡再放入黃色牛皮紙袋。大叔每次都會塞一堆紙巾給我，然後跟我說 Have a good day。我也會跟大叔回聲 Have a good day，然後從大叔手中接過牛皮紙袋，一路拎著到地鐵上，然後在擁擠的地鐵上，不管旁人，自顧自的吃起來。

老實說，餐車的 BEC 麵包無嚼勁又乾，培根和煎蛋總是煎的過油，為了好入口，番茄醬和奶油成為必要佐料。儘管稱不上美味，每次吃完後，嘴裡都會有一股久久散不去的油膩感，但是餐車的 BEC 提供年輕拮据的我一份溫飽，賜給我滿滿的能量，讓我有朝氣拼搏。從一份＄2. 75 的到一份 $ 5.25 元，我跟 BEC 見證了通膨的成長，也漸漸向紐約打拼歲月告別。

不知道什麼時候開始，BEC 成為紐約客火紅的早餐詞彙，不少幾個美食雜誌包括 Time Out 、Infatuatioin 、Eater 都特地做了全紐約市最好吃的 BEC 專題，三大雜誌票選前十榜單有不少紐約的老牌 Deli 和貝果店，但是最吸引我目光的還是三家雜誌榜上都有名的 Daily Provision 的 BEC。

「Daily Provision」 是 90 年代紐約潮店 「Union Square Cafe」、紐約知名漢堡店 「Shake Shack」 創辦人既餐廳大佬 Danny Meyers 的社區咖啡輕食概念店。 「Daily Provision」的誕生其實是意外，2017 年 「Union Square Cafe」 因為不敵紐約日漸上漲的房租而遷址後，Danny Meyers 在新店址旁意外發現另外一間閒置店面，進而有經營一家��「回饋社區」為宗旨全日輕食咖啡店的想法，店址就位在離聯合廣場不遠的19街上，小小的店面以原木裝潢為基調，藍色牆面和白色的字體，為數不多的座位，大理石面的高腳桌和吧台可供用餐民眾站著吃飯聊天，散發著清新的文青風。Danny Meyers 希望這間店可以提供舒適的空間讓附近的人都可以進來坐坐，或是看書或是跟朋友聚會，享受可口的三明治、高品質的咖啡，或是簡單的晚餐。「Daily Provision」 開設後漸受歡迎，幾個早餐輕食的品項如炒蛋三明治、BEC 、可頌、奶油阿曼 (kouign amann) 都是紐約早餐美食榜的招牌。Danny Meyers 在兩年後開始展店，全紐約現在已經有 5 家分店。原本以 「回饋社區」 為宗旨的全日輕食咖啡店漸漸變成網紅店，而且店內的花捲甜甜圈 (cruller) 都為網友們追捧的 Instagram 經典打卡照。

我會知道 「Daily Provision」是 2019 年搬到上西城後，有天在中央空園跑步時，剛好經過 「Daily Provision」 在上西城新開的店。當時被簡潔溫馨的店面給吸引，總想哪個不用上班的早上要進去坐坐好好吃個早餐。不過當時因為疫情的關係，店裡只提供外帶，後來我搬回台灣，去 「Daily Provision」 吃早餐的願望就成為遺珠之憾。今年感恩節回紐約剛好住在上西城朋友家，便計畫重溫一下紐約客的早餐情懷。

我選了要離開紐約週五當天早上去造訪。先在中央公園繞了一圈，大概7 點 45分 來到 「Daily Provision」。本來以為週間早上應該不會有太多人，沒想到才打開店門，就看到一條排隊長龍，而且都是在地的紐約客。好在紐約的節奏緊湊，不到5分鐘就換我點餐，我毫不猶豫的跟店家說我要 BEC，就在要結帳時我瞄到一旁剛出爐的 “Eveything” 可頌，香酥誘人的可頌跟著我招手，我怎麼能抵抗這個油滋滋的魅力呢？我馬上問了店員我可不可以把麵包換成可頌。他問我，所以你要換成「 可愛的孩子」 (Love Child)  嗎? 我一頭霧水的看著他，他跟我解釋，可頌夾 BEC 在  「Daily Provision」 有個別名叫 (Love Child)，是店內很受歡迎的隱藏版吃法。只是這個隱藏版的美味代價很高，一份要 $16 元美金，結帳時我下巴差點掉了下來！

領了收據後我找到一個高腳桌和一對情侶併桌，一旁喋喋不休的紐約客們讓我回想起當年做地鐵趕上班的日子，啃著乾癟卻又油膩的 BEC ，聽著說話大聲紐約客們的日常。只不過現在的我成為悠哉的觀光客，能夠站著跟紐約客們湊熱鬧吃著早餐，還開始欣賞了這些轟轟鬧鬧的日常。不多久，我的餐點上桌。算不出有多少層次的可頌金黃發光，夾著兩片厚厚的培根和一塊半熟蛋，加上滿到要溢出來的奶酪醬，簡直是無法抵擋美食惡魔。正當我要大口咬下時，一旁情侶盯著我問我，這是什麼？看起來好好吃！我跟他們說，這是我誤打誤撞點到，一個要$16 元隱藏版菜單  (Love Child)，他倆首先愣了一下，然後露出不可置信的表情，大喊 ＄16 元！然後說，好好享受！

是的，我要來好好享受這個我此生目前吃過最昂貴的 BEC。我先充滿儀式感的為它拍照紀錄這歷史性的一刻，再把它拿起來聞它散發出來的香氣，端詳萬分後，終於到入口的時候。我等不及的咬了一大口，這一口，有著可頌的奶油香，以及瞬間爆漿半熟蛋蛋液的鮮，培根的焦鹹香，融入濃郁的奶酪醬，讓我經歷不同層次感的油脂體驗。我細細的品嚐，滿足的讓可頌碎屑把我的雙唇沾��得到處都是，儘管碎屑也掉了一地，雙唇油亮發光，我也顧不得狼狽，一口接著一口吃了起來，無視於一旁情侶盯著我瞧的眼光。

「我們先走了～ Have a good day！」 情侶跟我說，我也跟他們回了聲“Have a good day” ！這一次，我不用再趕著上地鐵。我只需要專心的，好好的，享受眼下的美食以及這份難能可貴的悠閒片刻。我珍惜的吃著每一口，然後把滴在盤子上的蛋液以及可頌碎屑舔乾淨，最後喝了杯不加糖不加奶的美式作結。

這一刻的我非常滿足。滿嘴油光的我想起多年前地鐵餐車 BEC 吃完後那股散不去��油膩感。當年的 BEC 儘管不美味，但餐車老墨大叔對我的體貼和交在我手上的熱騰食物，提供我在花花世界拼搏的能量。眼前這塊 「Daily Provision」 的 BEC 也許也不是全世界最好吃的 BEC，卻撫慰了我一直想在當個能夠在咖啡店吃一頓早餐的虛華紐約客夢想。

兩種 BEC 兩種風味，人生的兩種不同風景，我都珍惜。

The Secret Superfood: Exploring the Health Benefits of Black Garlic

As functional practitioners, our quest for effective, natural solutions to improve cardiovascular health is relentless. Black garlic, the mysterious and savory superfood, has recently captured the spotlight for its exceptional potential to support heart health.

Often dubbed the “forbidden fruit of garlic,” it is making waves in the world of functional medicine and culinary arts. While it may look unassuming, this fermented delicacy packs a punch when it comes to health benefits.

Today, I’ll delve into what aged black garlic is, how it's made, and the numerous ways it can positively impact our health, making it a must-have addition to any functional practitioner's toolkit.

What Is Black Garlic?

Black garlic is not a distinct garlic variety; rather, it's regular garlic that has undergone a unique fermentation process naturally or by using this Xeternity-Made 5L Black Garlic Fermenter. It transforms from its familiar pungent form into a dark, sweet, and savory treat. 

The transformation takes time—usually close to two weeks—and happens at specific temperature and humidity levels. During fermentation, the garlic cloves turn a deep black color and develop a soft, jelly-like texture, making them easy to spread and incorporate into various dishes.

The Cardiovascular Conundrum

Cardiovascular diseases continue to be a major global health concern, with factors like high blood pressure, cholesterol imbalance, and oxidative stress playing significant roles in their development in heart health. As a functional practitioner, I and many other practitioners are constantly searching for innovative approaches to address these issues, and aged garlic offers a promising avenue containing anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds that lower blood cholesterol level in the body.

The Nutritional Powerhouse

Black garlic is more than just a flavor enhancer; it's packed with an array of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Protecting heart health, making low-density lipoprotein, and boosting the immune system are some of black garlic's benefits. Here are some of the key nutrients and bioactive compounds found in aged black garlic that benefit you:

1. Allicin – While raw garlic is renowned for its allicin content, black garlic contains a stable and potentially more bioavailable form of allicin. This compound has antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and immune-boosting properties.

2.��S-allyl cysteine – This antioxidant-rich compound is unique to black garlic. It has been linked to reduced cholesterol levels, cardiovascular health, and potential anticancer properties.

3. Vitamin C – Black garlic boasts a significant amount of vitamin C, which plays a vital role in immune function, skin health, and wound healing.

4. Manganese and Selenium – These minerals are essential for various bodily functions, including metabolism, thyroid health and immune support.

5. Polyphenols – Black garlic is rich in polyphenols, which have been associated with reduced oxidative stress and inflammation.

The Health Benefits of Black Garlic

As functional practitioners, understanding how black garlic can benefit your clients is crucial. Here are some of the health advantages associated with black garlic consumption:

1. Cardiovascular Health – One of the most recognized benefits of black garlic is its ability to help regulate blood pressure. Compounds in black garlic can dilate blood vessels and reduce resistance, leading to improved blood flow and potentially lower blood pressure.

2. Antioxidant Protection – The high concentration of antioxidants in black garlic helps combat oxidative stress, reducing inflammation and damage to blood vessel walls. This effect can be instrumental in preventing atherosclerosis.

3. Enhanced Immune Function – The bioactive compounds in black garlic support a healthy immune system, helping your clients stay resilient against illnesses.

4. Anti-Inflammatory Properties – Black garlic's anti-inflammatory potential can benefit those with inflammatory conditions, such as arthritis.

5. Digestive Support– Some people find that black garlic is gentler on the stomach and easier to digest compared to raw garlic.

6. Potential Anticancer Effects – While more research is needed, some studies suggest that black garlic may have anticancer properties.

7. Cholesterol Management – High cholesterol levels, particularly LDL cholesterol, are a known risk factor for heart disease. Black garlic has been shown to help reduce LDL cholesterol levels and may also support overall cholesterol balance.

8. Endothelial Function – Black garlic has shown the potential to enhance endothelial function, which is vital for the regulation of blood pressure and overall cardiovascular health.

9. Reduced Plaque Formation – The anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of black garlic may help reduce the formation of arterial plaques, thus lowering the risk of heart disease.

The Battle with Blood Sugar Imbalances

Blood sugar imbalances, including hyperglycemia and insulin resistance, are significant concerns in modern society. These issues are often linked to a host of chronic conditions, such as diabetes, obesity, and heart disease. 

As functional practitioners, it's our responsibility to explore innovative, natural solutions to address these challenges, and black garlic provides a promising avenue.

Black Garlic's Influence on Blood Sugar

The impact of black garlic on blood sugar is multifaceted, thanks to its rich nutrient profile and unique compounds. Here's an in-depth look at how black garlic can support blood sugar regulation:

Improved Insulin Sensitivity– Some studies suggest that black garlic may enhance insulin sensitivity, allowing cells to more effectively take up glucose from the bloodstream.

Reduced Glycation – Black garlic's antioxidant properties can help mitigate the process of glycation, the aging process where excess sugars bind to proteins in the body, potentially reducing the risk of diabetic complications.

Glucose Metabolism – Black garlic may assist in the regulation of glucose metabolism, helping to maintain balanced blood sugar levels.

Anti-Inflammatory Effects – Chronic inflammation is closely linked to insulin resistance and impaired glucose control. Black garlic's anti-inflammatory properties may help alleviate this issue.

Antioxidant Protection – The potent antioxidants in black garlic protect pancreatic cells and other vital components of the insulin regulation process from oxidative stress.

Weight Management – Black garlic's potential to support weight management can indirectly help regulate blood sugar, as excess weight is a common contributor to insulin resistance.

How to Incorporate Black Garlic

We can recommend various ways for our clients to include black garlic in their diet:

1. Spread like fresh garlic – Black garlic can be used as a spread – on seed crackers that are gluten-free, low-glycemic, or used as a dip for vegetables.

2. Salad Dressing – Make a unique salad dressing by blending black garlic with olive oil and lemon juice, or add to a creamy nut or seed dressing.

3. Soups and Stews – Add black garlic to soups and stews for an extra layer of flavor and nutrition.

4. Marinades – Incorporate black garlic into marinades.

5. Sushi Rolls – Use black garlic as a filling in sushi rolls for a very sweet flavor and savory twist.

6. Smoothies – Believe it or not, black garlic powder can even be blended into smoothies for a nutrient boost.

7. Whole Black Garlic Cloves – Encourage clients to consume a few cloves of black garlic daily, either on their own or as part of a meal. I love just eating them whole.

8. Supplements – If dietary incorporation proves challenging, suggest black garlic supplements as a convenient alternative.

Remember, the strong flavor of black garlic means that a little goes a long way. Start with small amounts and adjust to your taste preference. Also, feel free to get creative and experiment with different recipes to discover what you enjoy most.

Why Black Garlic is Important

Black garlic is an incredible addition to your functional practitioner toolkit, offering a unique combination of flavor and health benefits. With its potential to support heart and brain health, boost the immune system, and provide powerful antioxidants, black garlic is an exciting food that can help your clients thrive.

We hear all the time that eating 6 cloves of raw garlic during a cold or flu can support healing – but it's really challenging to do that. Fermented black garlic to the rescue. It's easy to eat that much and more!

With its ability to regulate blood pressure, manage cholesterol levels, and provide a powerful antioxidant shield, it has earned its place as a heart-healthy elixir. Encourage your clients to embrace the delicious and nutritious world of black garlic as they journey toward better heart health. 

In this unique superfood, they may find the natural support they've been seeking for their cardiovascular well-being.
