Transcript of Spinach From Farm to Table PPT
MY FAVORITE VEGETABLE
What I’ve Learned! I am not a big fan of fish, but realize that there are some fish that I can tolerate. The more I can change my thinking, the better
choices I can make with my diet.
I eat a lot more whole grain and wheat breads, pasta, and rice. For example: I eat less baked goods, such as pastries and eat whole
wheat oatmeal and a slice of Whole grain toast instead..
I rarely drink soda anymore. If I do it is a treat and I only do it once a week. I usually drink Water, Milk, or Ice Tea.
I quit buying so many of the foods that are not good for us like chips, cookies, and prepared snacks. I have replaced them with
more nutritious snacks like, nut and dried fruit mix, seeds, fruits, and more vegetable snacks.
It might not happen all at once, but every step I make is a step in the right direction!
CARBOHYDRATE PROTEIN LIPIDS FLUIDS ACTIVITY
Carbohydrates are our main
source of energy. They supply
our body, brain & nervous
system with energy. By eating
more vegetables and brown rice
instead of white rice, I am
getting better energy.
Choose lean proteins such as
poultry, seeds, peas, eggs and
beans
I am replacing saturated fat
with monosaturated fats or
polyunsaturated fats
Drink water daily. I drink a lot
of water. I have always, but
there were days that I did not
drink as much as I did on other
days. Now I am making an
honest effort to drink enough
water everyday.
Active living is a part of your
emotional and mental well-
being. Having a positive outlook
is important to handle the
mental challenges of the
emotional ups and downs of
everyday life. This was a
struggle for me this summer
because of my surgery. I have
had physical thearapy to get me
back to a point where I can
excercise again.
Making half of my grains whole
grains, and my noodles whole
grain is doing good things for
my health. The endosperm has
carbohydrate and protein.
There is fiber in the bran.
There are vitamins and
minereals in germ.
Phytonutrients are in both the
bran & germ. The most nutrient
part of the grain is the bran
and germ.
Proteins assist in growth,
maintence and structure. Fourty
percent of our body's protein
exsist in our muscle tissue.
I am choosing snacks such as
nuts, and seeds, and by doing
this I am meeting the omega
3's since I'm not a big fan of
fish. I am trying also, to get
some fish in my diet though.
This is helping me balance out
my needs of both omegas, 3 &
6 so I'm not getting too many
omega 6 in my diet. This is
giving me a heart healtly diet.
I drink fat free or low fat milk
daily. I love milk, so this is a
drink that I have ever had a
problem with getting enough of.
I just pray that I don't become
lactose intolerant. That would
be a nightmare for me.
Exercising daily gives you
balance each day and minimizes
your risk of many health
diseases. I have renewed my
membership and am trying to
get to the gym more.
Proteins play a role in gene
expression, hormones, and
assist in blood clotting. Eating
foods like fish, chicken and
beans will help my body to do
its job
Trying to keep my lipid intake
below 35% which is the DRI
recommendations is helping me
keep my cholesterol in check.
Limit juices and surgery drinks
Taking walks with my husband
and daughter is helping me to
get some well needed exercise.
Going out to the mall sometimes
just to look and walk is keeping
me moving.
If I eat enough carbohydrates
then I prevent proteins from
supplying my body with energy.
This is a good thing! This leaves
proteins to do what they do
best.
Proteins nourish our body and
without them the proper
nourishment the muscles are
weak, including our heart. My
brain development is deprived &
can't function properly. Eating
nuts, yogurt, and cheese helps
me balance my protein intake.
Eating foods that keep my
lipoproteins (LDL's & HDL's) low
are crucial for me. I have an
family history of heart disease.
Therefore, I am trying to
control the situation by eating
less of these foods: eggs,
shellfish, and steak. I have not
cut them out of my diet, but I
treat them as I am having a
treat. Only having them once in
awhile.
Alcohol consumption should be
done in moderation. This is not
a problem for me. I do like to
enjoy a drink or two, once in
awhile, but it does not happen
very often for me.
I am using alterative forms of
exercise so that I get overall
fitness. This is to prevent
straining episodes of my body.
Let's face it . . I'm not as
young and I'm diffinately not in
good physical shape. Taking it
slow and easy is my goal, in
order to keep it going.
Carbohydrates break down fatty
acids and prevent ketosis and
this provides my body with the
strength to function.
The dailey recommendation for
women my age, 31-50 yrs. old,
is 5 ounces a day. This is if I
exercise 30 minutes a day. By
getting a good supply of protein
each day, I supply my body
with the strength to be able to
exercise and build muscle.
I rarely eat fast food anymore
and by cutting this out of my
diet, I have made a tremedous
change. Eating at home more
and using the right foods has
really improved my saturated
fat intake.
As far as juices are concerned,
I only drink them once in a
while. I am trying to drink
orange juice a little more
because of the health benefits.
I am careful of how much I
drink so that I don't get too
much sugar.
Keeping track of my progress is
also important to my stategies.
Realizing that I can do more
and more is boosting my
confidence and keeping me from
quitting
WELLNESS NUTRIENT & ACTIVITY STRATEGIES
WHAT IS SPINACH, AND WHERE DID IT COME FROM?
Spinach is a leafy green vegetable
It can be eaten raw or as a cooked green
It is closely related to Beets and Swiss chard
It was thought to originate in Persia
It is a native of Central and Southwestern Asia
Arab traders carried it to India and then introduced
it to Ancient China
Grows in temperatures below 75 degrees
Between 35 and 70 is ideal
Freezing weather may freeze seedlings
More mature plant can tolerate
temperatures
Washing spinach is easy if you
put some salt in cold water,
swish it around, and rinse it
thoroughly
Planting can be done from August to March if you live along the
coast
Other areas can plant in November
Soil should not be warmer than 70 degrees for germination
Plant for a fall crop in early August . . If the soil temperatures are
cool enough
This magnificent vegetable is grown all year long in California
About a month after planting, spinach is ready to harvest. It is planted ½ inch to ¾ of an inch deep into the soil. California producers are known for planting a large number of seed lines per bed. The baby and teenage clipped spinach is planted on 80
inch wide beds
Freezer spinach is grown on both 40 inch, and 80 inch wide beds.
Continued . . .
The coastal production, areas as in California, grow shorter production periods in late spring, through summer. Longer growing period are in late fall, winter, and early spring.
California and Arizona are the leading producers of spinach
Imperial and Riverside Counties (The southern desert valleys)
Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties (The southern coast)
Stanislaus and Tulare Counties (Central Joaquin Valley)
Monterey, San Benito, Santa Clara, and Santa Cruz Counties (The
Central Coast).
Canned spinach is grown in southeastern states, but not in California.
Spinach produces a rosette of leaves that can be smoothed or wrinkled.
The smooth type is known as flat or smooth leaf types
The wrinkled are savoy or semi-savoy types.
Leaves are typically oval and have a short stem.
In California the flat or smooth leaf cultivars are mostly grown.
1. Fresh Market Clipped and Bagged
2. Fresh Market Bunched
3. Frozen

There have not been any recent policies on Spinach
Spinach is readily available!
Fresh = $1.79 for ¾ lb. bunch Packaged = $3.69 for a 6 oz. bag
Canned = $.79 for a 13 oz. can Frozen = $2.99 for 1 lb. bag
Half a cup of cooked spinach
contains more than 400 mg of
potassium and 4 grams of fiber
Potassium rich foods have been confirmed
by the FDA to stop strokes and fight high
blood pressure
Fiber aids in digestion, and prevents
constipation.
Spinach is rich in lutein
Lutein helps keep arteries clear of
cholesterol blockage and prevents
cataracts and mucular degeneration
Spinach is high in vitamin C, A, K
Iron, Folate, and Magnesium
All of these vitamins and minerals
help control cancer. Mostly colon,
breast, and lung cancers
Vitamin A promotes healthy skin
Vitamin K prevent excess activation
of osteoclast and contributes to a
healthy nervous system and brain
function.
Spinach was the first
frozen vegetable that was
sold
