Volume 1 - Issue 4 January 2010

With the new year beginning most of you will make a New Year's resolution. What is a New Year's resolution? A false promise to oneself, wishful thinking or one's selfish accomplishment at the expense of others? A resolution is a commitment that one makes to a project, or the reforming of a habit, or often a change in our lives that will be beneficial or advantageous to us or others.

The most common New Year's resolutions are: to lose weight or get into shape, work less, make more money and even spend more quality time with the family. If you are like me, the New Year's resolution lasts about a week maybe a month and then we forget about the commitment we had made.

As you sit down to make some changes this year, keep this in mind, most of us have what we want and don't even know it. We take for granted things and people around us. Let's take a moment to reflect on the treasures we have in our lives, the things that give us happiness without even realizing what they are. What better resolution than to expand on what we already have and make it bigger and better, whether it be our relationships, business or our hearts.

Wishing you a Healthy and Happy 2010!

Anthony C. Lechner, D.C.

Condition Of The Month:

Tension Headache

Tension headache is a dull pressure pain or discomfort in the head, scalp, or neck, usually associated with muscle tightness in these areas. Tension headaches are one of the most common forms of headache. They can occur at any age, but are most common in adults and adolescents. Tension headaches result from the contraction of neck and scalp muscles. One cause of this muscle contraction is a response to stress, depression or anxiety. Any activity that causes the head to be held in one position for a long time without moving can cause a headache. Such activities include typing or use of computers, fine work with the hands, and use of a microscope. Sleeping in a cold room or sleeping with the neck in an abnormal position can also trigger this type of headache. Other causes include spinal misalignment, eye strain, fatigue, alcohol use, excessive smoking, excessive caffeine use, sinus infection, nasal congestion, overexertion, colds, and influenza. Tension headaches are not associated with structural lesions in the brain.

NUTRITION:

Nutritional Value of Lentils

Lentils are the legumes that grow in pods, on a bushy annual plant called Lens ensculenta. They are scientifically called Lens culinaris and are believed to have originated from Central Asia, during the prehistoric times. Since then, lentils have been grown throughout the world and are popularly known for their rich nutritious content. Lentils are available in many varieties and different colors, like black, green, orange, brown, red, and yellow. They abound in fiber content, which helps in reducing the cholesterol as well as blood sugar levels. They also prove to be a rich source of consistent energy to the body. They contain several vitamins, minerals and protein as well, which make them highly beneficial for health.

ABOUT LENTILS

Lentils are not new. They have been found in archaeological sights dating to prehistory.
Like all legumes, lentils are rich in protein, starch, and an excellent source of vitamins. The protein doesn't contain all the essential amino acids. Combining lentils with cereals, like rice or bread, provides the body with the complete protein.
Their abundant supply of B vitamins, especially niacin, makes lentils especially beneficial for reducing cholesterol, excessive stress, and promoting general well-being of the nervous system.
Lentils also carry significant amounts of iron, zinc, and calcium. Their content of phytic acid makes it more difficult for the body to absorb these minerals. Eating a good source of vitamin C with the lentils increases the iron absorption.
Lentils are high in the group of organic compounds known as purins, which can cause uric acid salts to be deposited in the joints; they are often avoided by those with conditions involving inflammation of the joints.
Lentils are usually red, yellow, green, or brown, and there is little nutritional difference. Their high fiber content offers a degree of protection against bowel cancer.

Steps for Achieving your New Year Resolution

1. Step 1

Be realistic by setting achievable goals. Winning the lottery, for example, is out of your grasp.

2. Step 2

Describe your resolutions in specific terms. Instead of "I don't want to be lazy," opt for "I want to exercise regularly" or "I will cut down on my television watching."

3. Step 3

Break down large goals into smaller ones. For instance, commit to losing weight by resolving to join a gym and improve your eating habits.

4. Step 4

Find alternatives to a behavior that you want to change, and make this part of your resolution plan. So you want to quit smoking but you smoked to relax yourself? What other forms of relaxation are available to you?

5. Step 5

Above all, aim for things that are truly important to you, not what you think you ought to do or what others expect of you.

RECIPES:

Lentil & Chicken Stew

Herb and citrus exist in perfect balance in this protein-packed stew flavored with dill and lemon. Serve with slices of whole-grain baguette and a green salad.

Ingredients

3 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
8 ounces boneless skinless chicken breast, diced
1 carrot, peeled and finely diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon whole coriander seed, crushed
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 14-ounce reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup French green or brown lentils, sorted and rinsed
1 6-ounce baby spinach
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill

Cooking Instructions

Step 1

Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook, stirring once or twice until no longer pink in the middle, about 2 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate with a slotted spoon.

Step 2

Add the remaining 2 teaspoons oil to the pan and heat over medium-low heat. Add carrot, garlic, coriander, salt and pepper and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Stir in broth and lentils, increase heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are tender, 20 to 30 minutes (brown lentils take a little longer).

Step 3

Add the cooked chicken, spinach and lemon juice and return to a simmer. Cook until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in dill.

A friend raved about Dr. Lechner and urged me to go see him. As usual, I waited and procrastinated but eventually I found myself in his waiting room for my first ever Chiropractic visit. Tony was great and straightened me out, literally! Now I am a raving fan.
