K is for Kole Slaw

For lunch this week, shred a cool slaw to keep your fingers snapping.

The vitamin K in cabbage, spinach, Swiss chard, and other leafy greens may help keep your hands arthritis-free -- all the better for keyboarding, card dealing, piano playing, or knitting. Try shredding your favorite leafy greens (about 4 cups) in a food processor, then toss with ¼ cup low-fat mayo, 1 teaspoon vinegar, 1 teaspoon honey, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

I have been eating quite a bit of baby spinach in an attempt to keep my hemoglobin up; good to know about the Vit-K too! Any suggestions for carpal tunnel symptoms ... one of my fingers is numb most of the time. Thanks!

For a tasty way to serve kale, sauté greens lightly and toss with fat free sour cream and blanched almond slivers or almond slices.

Have begun buying fresh leafy greens and mixing them together to create a great salad combined with vinagrette sauce. Super good and very healthy.

Eat greens everyday and walk for about 30 mins to lose weight.
