The Hungarian Kitchen with Főszokás Béla The right stuff, part 2 FÁRADJON BE A MAGYAR KONYHÁBA! Sincere thanks to all who sent a card offering his or her condolences when mom passed away. Thank you also to those contributing to the William Penn Fraternal Association Scholarship Foundation in her memory. Your gesture of sympathy is a blessing, and I put everyone in my daily prayers. The Hungarian Heritage Experience is full and a waiting list is now in effect. The WPA Picnic-A Great Fraternal Fest on Sept. 11 is the next fraternal event on the schedule. Watch William Penn Life for details. The new format is a success, and I want to extend thanks to my editor John Lovász for being a big part of the change. He has persevered to make each issue of William Penn Life special for all our members. His feature article about the Hungarian Room at the University of Pittsburgh demonstrates his journalistic qualities. Thank you, John, for all you do every month to make our publication the success it is. The Hungarian Kitchen will be changing its format to provide the most information to the readers. Chef Vilmos and I appreciate your patience during this transition. Changes for the better are coming in the next few months. Since we are continuing with the right stuff, here is your healthy trivia question: What is the most popular fruit consumed in the world? Now, into the kitchen we go! Living a healthy life is more than eating the right stuff. This lifestyle has great rewards. Not only will you look better, but also you will feel better. Like anything good for us, it takes self-discipline and the will to succeed. Sometimes we do not get a choice and must alter our routine due to health issues. Being a type II diabetic made it easy for me to change eating habits years ago. The will to survive was greater than my urge for a Snickers bar. Changing habits was harder than changing the food I ate. Realizing new limits let me put everything into perspective. Positive thinking makes change easier to accomplish. Keeping that thought in mind let me give you some more of the right stuff that does not include food but some dietary additives. Taking a multiple vitamin will insure you are getting your daily dose of minerals and compounds to help you support your body. Vitamins are nutrients we need to survive. While most of them come from food we consume, they also are available in tablet form. Fish oil available in capsule form contains Omega-3 fatty acids that help in the fight against cardiovascular disease. If you do not like to eat fish, perhaps this is a better way to get your Omega-3 acids. Use the newest artificial sweetener or nutritional supplement called Stevia instead of cane sugar. It is a natural way to sweeten your food. It is found in most health food stores or supermarkets. Agave syrup is another alternative to regular sugar. The agave tequila plant produces a fructosebased sugar when heated. This product is available in most health or specialty food stores. Try all or any one of these products for a month, and you will feel the difference. You will also lose a few pounds as well. The subtle changes we make on a daily basis have long-term effects on our life. Trivia Answer: It is not bananas or apples, but mangoes. Over 2,000 varieties of mangoes are available throughout the world. They contain vitamin C, vitamin E, niacin, potassium, iron and beta-carotene, which convert to vitamin A in our body. Enjoy these healthy recipes and have a great month. (Jó ÓtlHX.fl'ff'&t i Jösza^ócs The Hungarian Kitchen is a trademark of William S. Vasvary.
