Bacon Wrapped Dates Recipe

This recipe is great for an hors d’oeuvre, a side plate item or just a quick snack. I originally tried these in a Spanish tapas restaurant and liked them so much I decided to try my hand at making them. The recipe is very simple and requires little.

You will need:

bacon (thinly sliced)

dates (buy them already pitted if possible)

almond slivers (optional)

toothpicks

To Make:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees

If you are using almonds, stuff one or two slivers into each date.

Cut the bacon strips down the middle. They should be about 4-5 inches long after.

Wrap the bacon around the date and place a toothpick to hold in place.

On a foil lined baking sheet, place the bacon wrapped dates evenly spaced.

Cook for approximately 15 minutes, then turn each date and cook again until evenly cooked.

These dates are best served at room temperature or cold. Serving them hot could cause burns because of the juice inside

Spinal Surgery in The Villages, FL side effects

Spinal Surgery In The Villages, FL

Before you commit to a major operation that is irreversible, why not let the doctors at Legacy Clinic take a look at your condition and see if they can help you? Spinal surgery has it’s place and time, but often there are alternative and more effective ways of treating back or neck pain. The doctors at Legacy Clinic have had many patients who have come to them after hearing from the surgeon that the ONLY way to fix their problem was to go under the knife. After a few weeks with the doctors, they were pain free and able to enjoy their lives again. All that with no scarring, no heavy narcotics and no huge screws in their spines.

Even cosmetic or “routine” surgeries come with risks, but spinal surgeries carry extra risks due to the fact that your spinal cord helps to control most of the functions our bodies perform. It is possible to do more damage than was already done. Some of the possible risks include: Infection, blood clots, dural tears, leakage of cerebrospinal fluid, facial sores, loss of vision, nerve injury, paralysis and death. While not all of these are common complications with spinal surgery they are definitely worth considering.

What is Iliotibial or IT Band Syndrome

The Iliotibial Band (IT Band for short) is a very long, thick band of fascia that runs from the hip down to the knee. This is the primary cause of knee pain for runners but can also affect just about anyone else who overuses it. Golfers may find pain during their swings and even going for a walk could cause pain.

IT Band Syndrome is caused by the ligament tightening so much that it rubs against the thighbone. The main symptoms are pain between the hip and knee and worsening with activity.

ITBS generally takes months to heal on its own and possibly longer depending on the strain and continued use. Steroid shots have been used in the past to reduce inflammation, but luckily places like Legacy Clinic have started using natural elements to achieve the same effect without the harm of overusing steroids.

Adjustments and massage therapy can also be very beneficial in speeding the recovery time and getting you back to the daily activities that this may have prevented you from doing.

For more information or if you think you might have ITBS, contact us today at:

Paleo Recipe

Ground Turkey and Spinach Stuffed Mushrooms

Prep time: 10 minutes    Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients
  • 2 teaspoons coconut oil
  • 6 large portobello mushroom caps, cleaned and gills removed (gently scrape it out with a spoon)
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1/2 pound ground turkey
  • Handful of baby spinach leaves
  • 6-8 grape tomatoes, sliced (and roasted if you prefer)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste (Italian seasoning would be great too!)
Instructions
  1. In a large skillet over medium high heat, melt about 2 teaspoons of coconut oil. Place the mushrooms into the skillet and let cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Flip them halfway through. Set aside on a plate.
  2. In the same skillet, add the onion and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes. Then add the ground turkey to the pan and break it up into small pieces with a spatula or wooden spoon. Cook until it’s all cooked through. Sprinkle salt and pepper and other seasonings, if using.
  3. Remove from heat and add the baby spinach leaves. The residual heat should wilt the spinach easily.
  4. To assemble: use a small spoon and scoop the turkey spinach filling into the caps of the mushrooms. Top with grape tomatoes. Serve warm!

Effective Weight Loss

Welcome to an effective weight loss program in The Villages, Florida where you can safely lose up to 25 pounds in 40 days and keep it off! This program is supervised by Dr. Chris Kessler through Legacy Clinic and his success rate is through the roof!

Effective Weight Loss

What makes this an effective weight loss program? This program allows patients to lose weight and keep it off without harmful chemicals that could cause other problems. It does not require a gym membership where you need to spend several hours a day nor do you need to invest in equipment for your home. It doesn’t require expensive meal plans and there are no public weigh-ins. While the plan itself is pretty straight forward, Dr. Chris makes himself available to answer any questions you may have.

This plan succeeds where others fail because it is not meant to last only while you’re on it. This plan is meant to train your body to keep using unwanted fat as fuel which helps to keep the weight off in the future. By lowering the intake of carbohydrates, your body will begin to use up the fat that it has “stored” for later use. In the meantime, almost all vegetables are unlimited and you can still eat lean proteins so you never have to feel like you’re starving.

You should never rely on just one article to make your choice though. We have many testimonials from patients who have had outstanding success on this plan. One of our own employees even tried and lost an amazing 90 pounds. There is no better time than now to start living a healthier life. Dr Chris also offers a free consultation to further answer any questions about the plan that you might have. Call or email us today to start shedding those unwated pounds!

Seasonal Allergies

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

Allergy Season!!!

All the cars are sprinkled with a nice orange dusting, and the trees and grass are just begging you to take a deep breath. Allergy season is in full effect. But what can you do about it?

While there are some medications out there that help control your reaction to allergens, many of these medicines can have side effects that are worse than what they are designed to relieve. So is there a way that you can control your body’s reaction to allergens without harmful chemicals and side effects? The simple answer is, yes.

Everyone has a different reaction to allergens and there are many different types of allergens out there.

Some people may have a sensitivity to pollen whereas others may not or may have much less of a reaction. Some people will begin to sneeze, some will get puffy eyes, some will get hives, and some will get a combination of these. Antronex is a safe and effective way to inhibit your body’s natural reaction, allowing you to breathe easily and stop suffering.

Allergens release histamines which cause your body to respond in different ways. There are two ways to reduce the symptoms of these. The first is to manage the response to histamines. The second is to encourage the functioning of the liver. The liver is the key organ in ridding the body of histamines. Most medications block histamines but don’t get rid of them so the drug wears off and you are back to square one. Antronex works on both accounts, helping to block the effects of the allergens and promote liver function to rid your body of the allergens.

If you suffer from seasonal allergies or just allergies in general, pick up a bottle of Antronex today to see the benefits for yourself!
