MEN’S HEALTH: THE RECIPES THEY LOVE
MEN’S HEALTH: THE RECIPES THEY LOVE
By: Allie Might, FMC, INHC, ATT
Welcome to MEN’S HEALTH MONTH, or as it’s come to be known as, MOVEMBER. I wanted to take some time this month to discuss issues that affect men, such as hormones, hair loss, prostate health and erectile dysfunction (ED). So, to kick off this topic, I’ve designed some amazing recipes that not only men will love but also have ingredients to support some of these issues, as well as general health.
RUBS AND MARINADES:
These are a great addition to lean, hearty proteins such as beef, chicken and pork.
1 scoop Cocoa Hx
1 Tablespoon instant coffee or espresso (dry)
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
Fresh ground pepper to taste (about ½ the amount of the salt)
RUB: Mix together until well combined. Rub generously to cover protein and grill or bake until desired temperature.
¼ cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar
MARINADE: Combine wet and dry ingredients and add to zip lock bag. Add protein, seal bag with as little air as possible, and let marinate for 30 minutes to 24 hours. Remove from bag and grill or bake until desired temperature.
