<br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><u>Ingredients</u></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">For the carrot pasta:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">- 5 large carrots, peeled and spiraled into noodles</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">- 1/3 cup roasted cashews</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">For the Ginger-Lime Peanut Sauce:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">- 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">- 4 tablespoons coconut milk</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">- 2 tablespoons liquid aminos</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">- Pinch cayenne pepper</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">- 2 large cloves garlic, finely chopped</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, peeled and grated</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">-1 tablespoon lime juice</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">-Kosher salt to taste</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><u>Directions</u></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">To Prepare the Ginger-Lime Peanut Sauce:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">1. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and mix together until <br /> smooth and creamy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">To Prepare the carrot pasta:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">1. Wash carrots well, peel them and pat them dry.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">2. Using your spiral slicer, make noodles out of all of the carrots. It will be more difficult to make the noodles once there is only a <br /> few inches of carrot left, so you can grate what’s left of the <br /> carrot.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">3. Place all carrot noodles into a large serving bowl. Pour the <br /> ginger-lime peanut sauce over the noodles and gently toss <br /> together. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">4. Serve with roasted cashews (or peanuts) and freshly chopped <br /> cilantro.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">If you don't have a spiral slicer, you can simply grate the carrots with a box grater.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br />
<b>What is cord blood? </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Cord blood is the blood found in your baby's umbilical cord. It contains life-saving stem cells that can grow into blood vessels, organs and tissues. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br />
A baby's cord blood can be collected at birth and stored for use in the future.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br />
<b>What is cord blood banking?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Cord blood banking is when blood left in your newborn's umbilical cord and placenta is collected and stored for future medical purposes. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">When it comes to cord blood storage, you have two options:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br />
1. You can donate your baby's cord blood to a public cord blood bank for anyone who needs it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">2. You can pay to store your baby's cord blood in a family cord blood bank for later use by your baby or another relative.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b>
<b>How is cord blood collected?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Collecting cord blood is a simple, safe and painless procedure that usually takes about five minutes and happens right after birth. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">When the umbilical cord has been cut, the leftover blood in the cord is saved. The cord blood is then sent to a laboratory, processed and frozen for long-term preservation.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>What are the benefits of cord blood banking?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Cord blood is a great source of blood stem cells, which are the powerhouse of the blood and immune system. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Additionally, stem cells can help repair tissues, organs or blood vessels and can be used to treat more than 80 types of diseases.</span></span><br />
<b><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br />Which diseases can be treated with cord blood?</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Certain types of:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Cancers </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Bone marrow failure syndromes </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Blood disorders</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Metabolic disorders</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Immunodeficiencies</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">How much cord blood is stored in the United States, and where is it located?</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">More than 1 million units of cord blood are stored in family banks in the U.S. today.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Beans have always been a good source of fiber and protein, but now there are even more reasons to include them in a <a href="http://www.fullcirclehealthcareinc.com/diabetes.html"><span style="color: #e06666;">diabetic</span></a> diet. In a 2012 study, researchers found that eating about a cup of legumes daily resulted in better blood sugar control (for both blood glucose and A1C) and <span style="color: #e06666;"><a href="http://www.fullcirclehealthcareinc.com/blood-pressure.html"><span style="color: #e06666;">lower blood pressure.</span></a> </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Also, c</span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">onsuming more fiber may lower the risk of a first-time stroke, according to the American Heart Association (AHA) journal <a href="http://www.fullcirclehealthcareinc.com/heart-disease.html"><span style="color: #e06666;">Stroke</span></a>. The researchers concluded that every 7-gram increase in total dietary fiber was associated with a 7 percent lower risk of a first-time stroke.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">-1 teaspoon ground cumin</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">-1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">-3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (14 to 16 ounces total)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">-1 15 - ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">-3/4 cup frozen whole kernel corn, thawed</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">-1/2 cup chopped fresh tomato</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">-1/4 cup chopped onion</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">-1/4 cup snipped fresh cilantro</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">-3 tablespoons lime juice</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">-1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">-2 cups shredded Romaine lettuce</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">-Fresh cilantro sprigs (optional)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">-1/3 cup light dairy sour cream (optional)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">-Lime wedges (optional)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><u>Directions</u></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat both sides of tortillas with nonstick cooking spray. Place on baking sheets. Bake for 7 to 9 minutes or until lightly browned. Transfer to wire racks to cool. Tortillas will crisp up as they cool.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet combine broth, chili powder, cumin, and oregano. Bring to boiling. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">3. Add chicken; return to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 8 to 10 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink (170 degrees F). Remove from heat. Let chicken cool in the liquid about 15 minutes or until cool enough to handle. When cool enough to handle, transfer chicken to a cutting board and shred the chicken into large pieces using two forks. Return shredded chicken to the cooking liquid.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">4. In a medium bowl combine beans, corn, tomato, onion, snipped cilantro, lime juice, and pepper.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Place tortillas on serving plates. Top with lettuce and bean mixture. Using a slotted spoon, spoon chicken atop bean mixture. If desired, garnish with cilantro and serve with sour cream and lime wedges. Makes 6 tostadas.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><u>Ingredients</u></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">- 1 cup raspberries</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">- 1 cup blueberries</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">- 1 cup vanilla flavored Greek Yogurt</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><u>Directions</u></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">1. Using a small 4 cup food processor or blender, puree the raspberries until smooth. Set aside.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">2. Repeat with the blueberries. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">3. Put the yogurt and each of the berry purees in small measuring cups with spouts. The goal is to thin them just a bit so they can be poured. Use water for the yogurt and the raspberries and, depending on the color of your blueberries, you can use water or yogurt if you need to brighten up your 'blue.' Keep these cups chilling in the refrigerator when you are not using them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">4. To layer your pops, start by pouring a little of the blueberry in the bottom of each mold. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">5. Put the mold in the freezer and freeze till firm (at least an hour or more).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">6. Layer a little bit of yogurt into each mold for the next stripe. You will be able to see through the side of the mold to check your progress. At this point, cover the top of the mold with foil, and insert the popsicle sticks. Make sure to get the stick a little bit into the frozen layer so they will stand straight. Return to the freezer until solid.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">7. Remove the foil and add your raspberry stripe, and so on until the molds are filled. Make sure to freeze each stripe until solid before adding the next (don't worry if the stripes are uneven, but do try to clean up any dribbles as you go!).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">8. Once filled and completely frozen, you can un-mold your pops. Fill the sink with hot water, remove the foil and immerse the mold just up to the lip, being careful not to let any water splash onto the top. Hold it for 30 seconds, remove and try to pull the pops out. If they don't slide out, immerse again for just a few seconds.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">9. Keep the popsicles in the mold until you are ready to serve or if you are working in batches, wrap each pop quickly in waxed paper and return to the freezer. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="color: black;">10. Serve and enjoy your refreshing, nutrition-packed snack (makes 10 popsicles)! </span></span></span>
