Ingredients
Directions Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F, and spray a baking sheet with cooking oil. Season the steak with salt and pepper. Preheat a small nonstick skillet over medium heat with cooking oil. When pan is hot enough for oil to slide around easily, add the steak. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until steak reaches desired doneness. Set aside until cool enough to handle; slice thinly. Meanwhile, sauté onions in the same pan, on medium-high heat, until golden brown. Set aside. Add the bread slices to the baking sheet. Top each bread slice with one slice of cheddar cheese. Bake for about 5 minutes until cheese is melted. Layer the steak, onions, and bell peppers onto each bread slice, and serve.

With all the festivities over the past weeks, the majority of us are at the lowest points of our diets. Guilty? Well, it’s really hard to avoid loading up on cheat meals, especially the foods that have zero nutritional content. Our body needs some detoxing to do to flush out all the unhealthy ingredients we’d consumed. And that’s the issue – it’s hard to consume more of these detox foods for winter. So to start, here’s a guide laid out for you by registered dietitian Gloria Tsang on Health Castle: Winter Nutrition GuideWhen winter days are cold, and you want to warm up fast, a bowl of cream soup or stew can certainly be appealing. But there is no excuse to throw all your healthy eating habits out the window just because it’s dark and cold outside!

But depending on where you live, the winter weather is already here and it may already be taking a toll on the healthy lifestyle you’ve worked hard for. Whether you typically eat too much comfort food and desserts, or exercise less (or not at all), winter can really hurt your health. This year, instead of sitting back and accepting the unhealthy changes in your life, make an early resolution to stay active, eat right, and in the process, help ward off seasonal depression. Sounds easy, right?

Plus, they will boost your metabolism, which in turn will help you avoid the unwanted weight gain. Don’t forget to drink plenty of water every day – at least 8 glasses, to be exact. Just because it’s winter doesn’t mean your body won’t suffer from dehydration. Consider a vitamin D supplement as well, since the sun is hardly shining these days.

One of the most popular Marvel superheroes, the Incredible Hulk is a pretty big, green humanoid that serves as a body inspiration to a lot of bodybuilders. Not the green part, though. But his bulky body will make you wonder how many times he works out every day. Even though he’s a fictional character, you can also sculpt your body the same way as he does. Check out this workout and training tips for hulking up, from the movie’s Incredible Hulk himself, Lou Ferrigno, as written by Greg Merritt on Flex: Lou Ferrigno’s Mass ClassBefore and after he was the Hulk, Lou Ferrigno was bodybuilding’s ultimate behemoth. When Arnold Schwarzenegger was winning Olympias at 235, Lou was 275. And when Dorian Yates was collecting Sandows at 265, Lou was 315. In fact, the future not-so-jolly green giant first broke the 300-pound barrier in the off-season at the age of 20—an unprecedented muscular body weight in the early ’70s. At 6’5″, he towered over competitors, but whereas most tall bodybuilders have trouble filling out, Ferrigno carried his mass proportionately with pleasing symmetry.

It’s really surprising how 2015 came by way too fast. So many bright and gloomy moments worldwide throughout the year, right? But just like any other, we have to bid goodbye to it, and welcome the year 2016. The good news is that the modern technology has so much in store for us. Mind Body Green’s founder and CEO Jason Wachob compiled the wellness trends to watch for: 10 Wellness Trends To Watch In 2016The year 2015 was an exciting one in wellness. The healthy food “bowl” took over our breakfast, lunch, dinner, and our Instagram feed. Amanda Chantal Bacon’s adaptogen dusts (hello, Sex Dust) became a staple of our smoothies. We saw the rise of the fitness omnivore, partially fueled by the growth of Class Pass. Vegans got glam as our dear friends Rich Roll and Julie Piatt graced the New York Times Styles section, and vegan restaurants become some of the most desirable dining destinations, thanks to Gracias Madre and Crossroads in Los Angeles and Dirt Candy, Semilla, and by Chloe in New York. We expect 2016 to be even better for wellness enthusiasts as healthy living is sweeping the world. Here are 10 trends to watch over the next year: Read more… These wellness trends to watch for are REALLY something to get excited about. Looks like more and more people are seeking for a healthier lifestyle. This will hopefully solve the increasing number of chronic diseases worldwide.

There are 1 billion smokers all over the world, which means that even non-smokers are susceptible to the harmful effects. The most exposure occurs in homes and workplaces. Secondhand smoke is indeed as harmful as direct, because people who are exposed to it are still inhaling the same chemicals that cause respiratory diseases, and even death. In fact, it causes about 41,000 deaths in the United States alone every year. But not only we are affected. A new study has shown that there are more pets at risk from second hand smoke than humans. Read more in this report by Sarah Knapton on The Telegraph: Pets at more risk from passive smoking than humans, find scientistsPets are at greater risk from passive smoking than humans because they spend more time in the home and closer to carpets where carcinogenic particles can linger. Read more… So aside from humans, there are more pets at risk from second hand smoke. People should really avoid smoking around other living things, or should just stop smoking, in general. It may not be an easy task, but starting today will save you years of life. Non-smokers, especially children, should avoid smokers as much as possible.

There are 48 million people in the United States alone who get sick from food poisoning every year. The majority of these cases come from meat, poultry, dairy products and eggs, which are all used in preparing meals for the festivities. There are so many myths about food poisoning that some of us may not know the explanation behind them or if they are actually true. Cathy Moir talks about it on The Conversation, posted on Daily Mail: You CAN thaw and refreeze meat – but DON’T rely on the sniff test: Expert busts common safety myths to help you avoid food poisoningIt’s that time of year when the fridge is fully stocked, the heat’s turned up high and the danger of food poisoning is ever present. So what is the best way to avoid it? Should you wash meat before cooking it? And it safe to re-freeze? Read more… These myths about food poisoning might have been some of the reasons why the cases continue to rise. Now that they have been debunked, hopefully, people will be more cautious about how they prepare raw products. We just won’t know when different types of bacteria will attack our body, so it’s always best to keep food and everything that’s near to it clean, such as the utensils, container, even the whole kitchen. Common symptoms include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, and abdominal pain that can last for up to weeks.

Ingredients
Directions Cook pasta al dente according to package instructions. Save 2 cups of pasta water; some of this will be added back into the dish later. Strain and set pasta aside. Prepare an ice bath by filling a medium bowl halfway with water and ice cubes. Set aside. Heat a medium pot halfway filled with water until water boils. Blanch the peas for 2-3 minutes. Strain and immediately pour the peas into the ice bath (this prevents peas from overcooking and turning a yucky yellow-green). Add 2 1/2 cups peas (reserving 1/2 cup), basil leaves, garlic, walnuts, cheese and salt into food processor. Process for 2-3 minutes, drizzling in olive oil near the end. If needed, process for an additional minute until pesto reaches a smooth consistency. Add pasta and pesto back into pasta pot, and turn the heat to medium-high. Add the remaining 1/2 cup peas and pour 1/2 cup of pasta water (that you saved). Stir until pasta is well-coated with pesto. If the pesto is too thick for you taste continue to add more of the pasta water 1/2 cup at a time until it reaches the desired consistency. Garnish with fresh basil and grated parmesan to serve. NOTE: You can refrigerate leftover pasta water to revive leftover pesto pasta. Regular tap water will also work in a pinch!
