RECIPE OF THE WEEK: Liquid Iron

STAY COOL AS SUMMER WINDS DOWN

Though few people consider the end of summer a cause for celebration, the weather outside need not preclude men and women from enjoying a cool and refreshing beverage. Those who simply can’t say “so long” to summer may want to find a nearby patio, pull up a chair and pour themselves a glass of “Liquid Iron” courtesy of Brian Preston-Campbell’s “Cool Waters” (Harvard Common Press). Not only is the following drink refreshing and cool for those waning hot days before summer officially goes away, but it’s also a great source of iron and calcium.

Makes 6 servings

2 stalks red Swiss chard, chopped

1⁄4 cup chopped spinach leaves

1⁄4 cup chopped purple kale

1 teaspoons loose green tea leaves

6 cups still water

DIRECTIONS:

1. Place the chard, spinach, kale, and tea leaves in a blender with 1 cup of the water. Purée until fairly smooth, about 1 minute.

2. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large pitcher, using a ladle or rubber spatula to extract as much juice as possible. Add the remaining water, stir gently, and serve.

The Market operates on Saturdays from 9 AM – 1 PM through October 25th.

Meditation Promoting Personal Wellness

Meditation has gained traction in recent years as an effective means to promoting personal wellness, and those considering the practice should know that it does not require a significant time commitment. The Mayo Clinic notes meditation has been practiced for thousands of years. Perhaps the practice has proved so enduring because of the myriad emotional and physical benefits it offers, which the Mayo Clinic notes include self-awareness, improved mood, a lower resting heart rate, and improved sleep. The amount of time required to meditate depends on the individual and the type of meditation he or she practices (the Mayo Clinic cites guided meditation, mantra meditation, mindfulness meditation, and Quigong as some popular ways to meditate), but Verywell Mind reports that experts typically recommend meditating for somewhere between five and 45 minutes each day.
