SUN BURGERS
From Ani's Raw Food Kitchen
2 stalks celery, chopped (about 3/4 cup)
1/4 cup yellow onion, chopped
1/2 cup red bell pepper, chopped
1 teaspoon sea salt
2 teaspoons oregano, fresh or dried
1 cup sunflower seeds, ground
1/2 cup flax seeds, ground
1/2 cup filtered water

To make burgers, put all the ingredients in a bowl, adding the water last. Mix well. Form four balls and flatten into patties. If you'd like a firmer patty, dehydrate the burgers for three hours at 104 degrees (in a food dehydrator) and serve warm. Top burgers with sliced tomato and lettuce, and serve with your favorite raw bread and condiments.

Makes 4 servings.

Walnuts

A new study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology found that eating walnuts after a meal high in unhealthy fats can reduce the damaging effects of such fats on blood vessels. Researchers from Barcelona's Hospital Clinic conducted a study on 24 adult participants, half of whom had normal cholesterol levels, and half of whom had moderately high levels of cholesterol. Each group was fed two high-fat meals of salami and cheese, eaten one week apart. During one meal, the researchers supplemented the food with five teaspoons of olive oil. The researcher added eight shelled walnuts to the other meal, the following week.

Tests after each meal showed that both the olive oil and the walnuts helped reduce the onset of dangerous inflammation and oxidation in the arteries after the meals, which were high in saturated fat. However, unlike the olive oil, the walnuts also helped the arteries maintain their elasticity and flexibility, even in the participants with higher cholesterol.

Lead researcher Dr. Emilio Ros said walnuts' protective effects could be because the nuts are high in antioxidants and ALA, a plant-based omega-3 fatty acid. Walnuts also contain arginine, which is an amino acid that the body uses to produce nitric oxide, necessary for keeping blood vessels flexible.

Watermelon

Fresh watermelon may be eaten in a variety of ways and is also often used to flavor summer drinks and smoothies.

A one-cup serving of watermelon will provide around 48 calories. Watermelon is an excellent source of vitamin C and vitamin A, with one serving containing 14.59 mg of vitamin C and 556.32 IU of vitamin A. Watermelon also provides significant amounts of vitamin B6 and vitamin B1, as well as the minerals potassium and magnesium. Pink watermelon is also a source of the potent carotenoid antioxidant, lycopene
