NUTRITION & CUISINE
Back to Our Roots:
Carrot Cake
by Executive Chef Curtis Cooke INGREDIENTS
Getting Grounded by May Tom - MPH, RD
DIRECTIONS
The roots of plants are what anchors them to the earth, stabilizes their foundation, and provide the essential nutrients that support their growth. In traditional Chinese medicine, root vegetables are believed to transfer these “grounding” properties to those who eat them, making them feel both mentally and physically stable and energized. Root vegetables come in a vast array of colors, which means they contain an abundance of micronutrients. Beets contain the phytochemical betalains which gives them either their deep red/violet color or their bright yellow hue. Betalains have powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and detoxification properties which help to reduce the risk for heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and cancer. Carrots, another root vegetable, contain beta-carotene and polyacetylenes, two antioxidants that work together to aid in eye health, decrease the risk for cancer, and protect against cardiovascular disease. You could say their vibrant colors paint the mind and body into a decadent masterpiece.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In CARROT CAKE • 12 oz gluten free flour a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, • 12 oz carrot, grated allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, • 1 tsp baking powder salt and sugar. Using a mixer, • 1 tsp baking soda with the paddle attachment, add the yogurt and coconut • ¼ tsp allspice oil and mix for approximately • ¼ tsp cinnamon 1 to 2 minutes. Add the dry • ¼ tsp nutmeg ingredients and mix until it is • ½ tsp sea salt incorporated. Add the carrots • 12 oz sugar and the eggs, continuing to mix until it’s all fully incorporated. • 3 eggs Pour batter into a sprayed cake • 6 oz Greek yogurt pan. Bake for approximately • 2 oz coconut oil, 25 minutes or until a toothpick softened to room temp comes out clean when inserted.
LEMON CURD • 3 egg yolks • 1/3 cup sugar • 1/3 cup lemon juice
Health and Wellness News and Recipe
In a medium sauce pan, add enough water to come about one inch up the side. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. In a small bowl, combine the egg yolks, sugar and lemon juice. Place the bowl on the sauce pan and whisk until the mixture is smooth and thickened.
Root vegetables are a natural source of complex carbohydrates, meaning they don’t spike blood sugar in the same way that simple carbohydrates do. Instead, they provide long lasting, steady energy. In this way, they truly do keep things stable in the body. They are also filled with nutritious fiber, which helps keep us full so we don’t find ourselves over-indulging. In fact, the particular type of fiber (pectin) that is found in carrots and beets has been shown to protect both digestive and cardiovascular health. You can eat root vegetables both raw and cooked. It has been shown that cooked carrots retain their beta-carotene while cooking beets may cause them to lose a little bit of their nutrition. Simply put, eat plant foods in their whole form, as close to what nature intended. Including both raw and cooked root vegetables in your diet can be a “groundbreaking” experience, causing you to feel more energized, clear, and balanced.

In 2007, proprietors Terri and John Havens converted 12 of Cal-a-Vie’s 440 acres into a small vineyard of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot grapes. The vineyard produced its first harvest in 2011, which yielded Cal-a-Vie’s Château Cal-a-Vie Grande Vin Rouge, as well as the spa’s elegant Vinothérapie product line, sourced from the harvest’s antioxidant-rich leftover grape skin and seed. For Terri and John, sharing the taste of Château Cal-a-Vie wine is like opening a door to the rich, complex beauty that is Cal-a-Vie. They invite you to savor a sip from this looking glass into another world. Introducing our 2013 releases:
2013 GRAND VIN ROUGE RED WINE Features tremendous depth of flavor in the midpalate and finish with a bright crimson color. Wine develops rich berry and oak flavors revealing touches of licorice and firm tannins. The aging in new French barrels brings out the earthy and oak tones allowing for a classic Bordeaux style finish. 2013 CHÂTEAU CAL-A-VIE ESTATE MERLOT Produced from the best Merlot grapes grown in our Cal-a-Vie Estate Upland Valley vineyard. The wine is 100% Merlot with a dramatic example of the classic Merlot cherry aromas and Bordeaux style, bouquet and finish. Aged in new 60 gallon French oak barrels for twenty four months. Only 288 bottles were produced.

BODY & BEAUTY
Beauty tips from the experts help create a more beautiful you!
Importance of Skin Care Basics...
The most important elements in life – and for our bodies – are air and water. Just like we need oxygen and moisture to survive, so does our skin. Skin is the largest living organism on our body and just as we feed ourselves, we need to “feed” our skin. These leading-edge treatments will help you do just that! NEW!! Cellular Code Facial Skin cells tend to break down with age and aging skin is subject to slower cell regeneration. This creates dehydration, wrinkles and oxidative stress over time. The essential response needed to improve aging and mature skin takes place on a cellular level. YON-KA’S Cellular Code products rejuvenate the skin tissue with oxygenation and increased cellular production. Ultimately, it is a silky soft serum that is quickly absorbed, providing dramatic results for most conditions. This is a skin rejuvenating experience which leads to a more youthful complexion.
Micro-current Lift Commonly referred to as, Pilates for the face, micro-current works out the muscles of the face and stimulates collagen and elastin production in the tissues of the face and neck. This non-surgical face lift, combined with a deep firming and lifting facial using the popular NuFace device, improves skin tone and smooths the complexion.

Undergoing a fitness evaluation can be helpful in identifying your personal fitness level and developing an individualized fitness program to get the desired results. It also helps to measure the results of your regime and identify areas for change in your program. Cal-a-Vie offers the following fitness evaluation options: Bod Pod - the most innovative technology to assess your body fat and lean mass. Measuring your body composition is one of the best indicators of overall health.
Fitness Evaluation (included for all European and California 7-Night programs)
- a comprehensive overview of general fitness level based on the results of testing for cholesterol, body fat percentage, flexibility, strength, aerobic capacity, blood pressure, resting heart rate and body measurements. Records are kept so that upon return visits a comparison reading can provide insight into how changed behaviors have influenced the results.
Metabolic Rate Testing - measures breathing and how much oxygen the body
uses, indicating how much energy (or calories) are being burned. This information can be used to calculate target caloric zones so you learn what it means to “eat to your metabolism.”
VO2 Fitness Assessment - clinically measures oxygen consumption (VO2)
and heart rate, measurements used to find target heart rate zones based on the individual’s aerobic and anaerobic thresholds. This test is designed to gather physiological performance data during a graded exercise test while breathing into a mask. This test will identify ideal workout intensity levels and data used to define a precise, personalized exercise regimen to reach specific training goals.
