Woah, it’s hard to believe it’s October already. Is it just me or does the year seem to be in a hurry. Maybe time finally picked up on man’s impatience or is it the other way round? Soon the trees will show us the beauty of letting dead thing a go and I guess that’s what Autumn is all about for me. Giving myself a chance to grow, letting go of regret, mistakes and investing more in who I am and who I want to be. In any case nobody can achieve this without a good diet, which is why I’m super excited about being on this project. Working with dedicated talented minds to keep alive a platform that literally brings life to it’s readers. This months editions couldn’t have happened without you guys And of course to our readers, let’s make history together.

Benefit of Beneficial Microbes 1. Protective effects exerted directly by specific bacterial species, 2. Control of epithelial cell proliferation and differentiation, 3. Production of essential mucosal nutrients, such as short-chain fatty acids and amino acids, prevention of overgrowth of pathogenic organisms, 4. Stimulation of intestinal immunity 5.

INTERVIEW How did you become a registered dietitian nutritionist? I thought I was going to be a physical therapist. While in college the degree changed form a Masters to a Doctorate. I was not sure I wanted to spend all that time and money so My family member suggested I double major in Dietetics. I found out through the classes I would actually like the field. What is the most important role of RDN in clinical settings? The most important role is knowing how to collaborate with the interdisciplinary team to provide the best outcomes for your patient. For instance, nurses, doctors and other health professionals may have different goals for the patient that may contradict the dietitians goals. Knowing to properly communicate and come to a consensus of what goals are the most important is essential in the field of food and nutrition. As a certified diabetes educator, what are the everyday challenges you encounter with your patients and client? Noncompliance. A lot of patients think I am the food police. This is a myth I work hard to break and show people as a certified diabetes educator all food can fit into a carbohydrate controlled healthy diet. How did you incorporate youtube channel into your busy schedule? I actually like YouTube so I don’t mind fitting it in. It takes a lot of planning. I typically have a monthly schedule I abide by in order to get everything on my list checked off.

Food, a basic need of life is composed of several bioactive compounds. Food manufacturers put nutrition fact label on most food product for consumers to understand the nutrient composition of the product and it contribution to the recommended dietary allowance. The basics things to look out for in nutrition fact label include: Calorie The calorie information tell us the amount of energy one can derive per serving of the product. Knowing this can help you compare the calories derived to your total kcalories for the day. For example if you are on 2000kcal per day and you take two serving size of a product with a serving size yielding 150kcal. Two servings will yield 300kcal. Out of your 2000kcal intake for the day, you have achieved 300kcal consuming two servings of the product. % Daily Value Daily Value is a reference values developed by the FDA specifically for the use on food labels. It compares the percentage of nutrient in the product to the recommended dietary allowance for the nutrient. 5-20 Rule A way to tell if a food is low or high in a particular nutrient. If you check a nutrition fact label, any nutrient with daily value of less than 5% shows the product is not a good source of such nutrient and any nutrient with daily value of more than 20% shows the product is a good source of such nutrient. For example the nutrition fact label used in this article has 20% daily value for calcium, it shows the product is a good source of calcium. By Olayemi Michael Email : olayemimg@gmail.com

of manganese. Manganese is well known as a remedy for fighting impotence. It is essential for the health of human libido, particularly for men.

Recipe
T
he potato and egg frittata originated from Spain and it often cut into small wedges and served as tapas. It is a great dish which can serve as supper and the ingredients are very common to find. The potato and onion frittata can also be tweaked by adding some of the things you want such as bacon, cheese, mushrooms, red peppers, or ham depending on your choice.
POTATO Egg Frittata Preparation time: 40 mins Cook time: 20 mins Yield: 4 to 6 servings
Procedures 1. Gather the ingredients, peel the potatoes and slice very thinly (about ¼ inch thick, or cut them into ½ inch cubes). 2. Place the cut potatoes into a bowl and cover them with salted water. 3. Slice the onion thinly, place 2 tablespoons of oil in a heavy, oven-proof skillet (a frying pan) that is at least 2 inches deep and heat the oil over medium heat. 4. Add the sliced onions to the skillet and cook until the onions are soft, fragrant, and turning golden. 5. Drain the potatoes and pat them dry, toss the potatoes with the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and season with salt and pepper.
Ingredients 3 to 4 medium potatoes 1 Large onion 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil Salt and pepper to taste 8 eggs 1/3 cup cream (or whole milk) Chopped parsley or cilantro (this is optional)

6. Add the potatoes to the onions in the skillet, cover and cook the potatoes over low heat until tender, stirring occasionally to keep them from sticking to the pan and burning. 7. Whisk the eggs, cream, salt and pepper together, pour the milk and egg mixture over the potatoes and onions, sprinkle chopped parsley or cilantro over the eggs and tomatoes. 8. Cook the mixture over low heat until the eggs seem mostly set, being careful not to burn them, about 5 to 8 minutes will do. 9. If you are using non-stick pan, you can carefully flip the frittata out of the pan and onto a plate at this point. Turn a plate upside down over the skillet, then turn the skillet over so the frittata falls onto the now right-side-up plate. Slide the frittata from the plate back into the pan so that the browned side is facing up and cook over low heat for a few more minutes. 10. If your skillet is not non-stick, you can finish cooking the eggs under the broiler. Preheat the broiler, then place the skillet under the broiler until the top of the frittata is browned and slightly crispy. Cut the tortilla or the frittata into wedges to serve. Enjoy!
