[What is Pine bark?]

Pine bark, botanical name Pinus pinaster, is a maritime pine native to southwest France that also grows in countries along the western Mediterranean.  Pine bark contains a number of beneficial compounds that are extracted from the bark in a way that doesn’t destroy or damage the tree.

[How does it work?]

What gives pine bark extract its notoriety as a powerful ingredient and super antioxidant is that it’s loaded with oligomeric proanthocyanidin compounds, OPCs for short. The same ingredient can be found in grape seeds, the skin of peanuts and witch hazel bark. But what makes this miracle ingredient so amazing?

While OPCs found in this extract are mostly known for their antioxidant-producing benefits, these amazing compounds exude antibacterial, antiviral, anticarcinogenic, anti-aging, anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic properties. Pine bark extract can help reduce muscle soreness and may help improve conditions relating to poor circulation, high blood pressure, osteoarthritis, diabetes, ADHD, female reproductive issues, skin, erectile dysfunction, eye disease and sports stamina.

Seems like it must be pretty amazing, but let’s look closer. The list goes on a bit further, as the OPCs in this extract may “inhibit lipid peroxidation, platelet aggregation, capillary permeability and fragility, and to affect enzyme systems,” which basically means it may be a natural treatment for many serious health conditions, such as stroke and heart disease.

Kale Salad

Ingredients

1 bunch of kale (6-7 cups when chopped)
1 apple (I prefer honey crisp or another really crisp variety), diced
1/3 of a large sweet onion, diced
1/2 or more avocado, diced
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped

Directions

De-stem the kale leaves and then chop them thoroughly. Take the chopped kale leaves in your clean hands and firmly massage them until they begin to soften. (Your hands may even hurt a bit.).Add the kale to your salad bowl. Top the kale with the diced apples, onions, and avocado. Add the chopped basil if desired. (I LOVE it!) Toss with the curry vinaigrette (below) and taste and feel the health.

Curry Vinaigrette

Ingredients

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup “cloudy” variety of apple cider vinegar (like Braggs)
2 tsp dijon style mustard
2 tsp honey
1 tbsp curry powder

Directions

Whisk or blend all the ingredients together as you see fit. I prefer to put my salad dressing ingredients into a small jar with a top and shake to blend. Drizzle dressing over your salad as desired. It is always best to underdress your salads as too much dressing just adds excess calories and swamps the yummy flavors of the veggies!
